Okay, for some reason, there is something that leaves an inmprint on reality when we die. We go to a parallel dimension, almost exactly like our current one. When we die, we are born into the other dimension. Ghosts occur when there is a breach in the two dimensions, allowing for a glimpse at the others. Most of this happens when the person from the other dimension remembers dying. After death in that dimension, they are born into our dimension. It's a cycle. Of course, the people form the other dimension think we are ghosts when we appear.

It's an interesting theory, and I've even seen it in Sci-Fi shows

I'll put it this way: it's totally possible, sounds fine. BUT. Nobody has any idea. Nobody has ever had actual proof of seeing ghosts or any kind of supernatural being (Assuming Loch Ness is a hoax ).

[Miotu]

X Zolon, I sort of agree with this. I believe that there is most definately some sort of energy that is involved with the psychic mind. When we die, there must be some interuption with this field. Perhaps a remnant of this leftover energy repeats over and over again, like a video, making it appear as if humans/beings are inhabiting a building. This sort of explains why ghost always do things in a similar manner...never deviating from an action...this is because they are not conscious...nor are they alive, rather just remnant energy.


Anyways, that is my theory

[CongressJon]

The thing is, any kind of ghost sighting is ultra-rare.

[X Zolon]

Err, not to me. I'll relate what I know: Loch Ness is a hoak, they went down and proved it No more Nessy.

Also, this is what I know: Certain energies are emmitted by us, that create disturbances. That is what a poltergeist is. It's no ghost, it's just mixed up electrons and such. And Ghosts.. I believe that they are remnant energies or breaches in reality. I like Mitou's concept on the mind, seeing as psychology and studies of our mind reveal tons of flaws, that makes it so, such an energy might really only occur one time, and then repeat in the person's mind over and over again, seeming to replay itself. A further study of the mind may reveal that flaws are the reason some people see ghosts and some people don't. Some people's minds can interpret the energies better, that's why one person might see something, one might hear something, and one might not hear/see anything. Also, did you know that scientists discovered our minds are connected to some outer force?

Debate time!
I believe ghosts are our spirits that rose from our bodies when we died. Whenever you see a ghost you are seeing that person who is roaming around like he did when he was alive just now he is transparent and is sort of phased out of this deminision (like you guys said) and his/her personality reflects the person who he/she used to be. Ex. if the person was mean the ghost will be mean and do bad stuff and vice/versa.

My therory is like Zolons. I think when we die we go to this other dimension and are born again. But everyone goes to differnt dimensions. In one dimension the wall thing gets broken sometimes, so both dimensions can interact. In the other, the wall gets broken rarer, and not as badly, thus the spirits and us cannot interact, but we still see them sometimes.

I believe it, the law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created or destroyed. We are energy so we have to go someplace and do something.

[Miotu]

HeadHunter, this is an EXCELLENT point, and I had almost forgotten about it from my days back in chemistry (ah, those were the days!) Indeed energy can be neither created nor destroyed, and thus if a so-called "psychic" energy exists, then indeed it must go somewhere. Although consider this: If our bodies contain energy, where does it go if our bodies are burned alive (yes, gross image)? Well, our bodies "energy" is converted from chemical energy to another form (heat)...that is where the energy goes! So therefore, your law of conservation of energy does not seem to prove all that much if indeed we are burned alive, for an example.


Another thing for something Leftyy said earlier (methinks it was you), you said something about alternate dimensions. Indeed, it has been proven by science that there are alternate dimension, and here is how they found it out: A man was experiementing with a laser beam trying to shine it through a pattern of slits. When he did so, he expected the laser to simply be blocked by some slits, and come out where the slits were, thus letting the laser light through. This, however was not the case. The laser in every trial run was somehow affected by some unknown force causing the beams to actually shift in a particular direction. This was theorized to be another parallel dimension that is in reach of our current dimension, but cannot be seen, per se. This dimension, however has enough energy and gravity to affect the laser the way it did in this experiment to cause the beams to shift from where they should be to where the resulted. (Sorry if I did not convey the experiment in its entirety, it was quite a complicated experiment. I wish I had the scientist who did it, but I cannot remember his name)

[X Zolon]

Ahh, very intreaguing, Miotu. You bring up the best points. Well, then I guess those scientists may be working on trying to figure out this other dimension. By the way, it was me who started the alternate dimension. It is possible that ghsots are just people who somehow get trapped for a certain period of time in a rift, and get sent into a place where all horror is seen. This creates the screaming sounds, crying, fear, expressed by ghosts, who are the energies transferred from these people, repeating over and over again trapped in a never ending loop, repeating over and over again, makign the appearacne of ghosts, being only energy. Aslo, Poltergeists are just messed up electrons or energy, so is it possible that is all ghosts are? Perhaps I'm right?

[asyluman]

My theory is:

We always have a "ghost." it is like a shadow, and kinda like that parallel dimension. that's where our "ghosts" are. when we die our energy has nowhere to go, so it seeks out our "spiritual DNA." It finds our "ghost," and enters it. this allows the ghost to breach the ethereal curtain into our world. really, it's just our "shadow."

(P.S. like in the book "the fifth dawn" like when glissa's spark has nowhere to go but slobad)

What'd that have to do with it?

[Nuu™™]

Doesn't matter, topic has been revived. Another point:

A few hundred years ago (I think) some scientists wanted to prove the existance of a soul. They got a person who was dying and but them on a scale. At the exact time the person's heart stop beating, the scale moved (I think it was about 0.2 kg less, not sure).

Considering that the amount of matter in the universe is constant, doesn't that mean that the lost mass (the 'soul') must be somewhere in the universe?

way we could find out....... we could try to find a way to hook a camera on a soul lol. spirit watever
