Existence of Ghosts

[Text People]

I have enough experience with hallucinations to not believe in ghosts.

But, there is no such thing as a shared hallucination. Two or three, etc, people can't have the same exact hallucinatory episode.

[Conserative Morality]

No, but it only takes one person to convince ten others to see what they see. People are pattern seekers, and, for all that I believe in humanity, incredibly stupid at times when it comes to seeking patterns.

On a given day several different people see a strange formation of lights in the sky, and of those several walk away claiming to have seen an alien space craft. They say that since several people saw it, and independently verified it, it must be accurate; and point to this as proof of alien visitation.

But it isn't proof of alien visitation. All any of them really saw was a strange formation of lights in the sky.

There is also the fact that as time goes on and people talked to each other, the stories would begin to match.

I don't believe in ghosts but I believe that some souls stay on earth.

[Neutraligon]

I see no reason to believe in ghosts or souls.

No such things has ghosts. Either they go to heaven or they go to hell.

Source?

The Bible.

[Wanderjar]

I lived in a haunted apartment complex in Glasgow. While my overall life in Glasgow was great as a student, I tended to avoid going home because it was truly hellish. I couldn't wait to get out of there and to this day even thinking about what happened in that place gives me the chills. So yes, ghosts are very, very real.

A book thats maybe not even true?

[Jamjai]

The only possible forms of existence after death or permanent existence are:

1. Immortality from biological/transhumanist augmentation.

2. Many-worlds interpretation quantum immortality.

3. Conservation of information yields immortality of the "soul." Humans have a "soul," but it's not made of matter, energy, or "spirit stuff." It's made of information. Information is conserved in all physical processes (unitarity). Ergo, the "soul" is conserved by physics.

[Nazi Flower Power]

Ghosts are an inferior race that must be exterminated to make way for the Aryan Master Race and our Lebensraum. This is why Nazis are so into the occult. Gotta find a way to exterminate things that are already dead...

Yes, yes they can. I should know. I'm taking Psychology, and the science of hallucinations fascinates me.

Not "shared hallucinations", but the effect is the same.

Just imagine the ghosts of Douglas Adams, Graham Chapman and Bertie Russell pulling pranks together.

Is there any reason for them to dwell here as ghosts?

How many reasons are for Douglas Adams, Graham Chapman and Bertie Russell to dwell here as ghosts?
42.

#24 is that I still have Bertie's teapot in my cupboard.

May I suggest an army of undead Daleks?

Dream/spirit world that lives in parallel with material plane is my best guess

[Big Brain City]

It is my opinion that ghosts are bullshit.

Are you sure those weren't heroin addicts, not ghosts?

[Republika Srpska Party]

I don't really believe in Ghosts, one thing can make you think that Ghosts are following you and making noises, it's call'd that your brain is tricking you.

I actually believe in Mutants, since they're real.

Anyway, who the hell would believe in Ghosts? I believe in the Holy Spirit, but Ghosts and that sh*t? No. There is no proof that ghosts exist, people also make up false photos of them just to get some "fame".
