why aren't scientists solve the matter about ghosts?we feel frustrated?

Scientists don't know everything, but there must be a math involved to prove the theory or something to see before their eyes (my opinion)to believe it. I know many who believe in the paranormal, many having paranormal experiences themselves, and science and religion go hand in hand which also involves the paranormal\n\nHow can scientists solve the matter about ghosts? For a ghost to be freed they must free the weight their soul carries. I actually wrote about this in my msn group because I have my own theories and experiences relating to the soul and body and soul separation and at times had the deceased come to me. In my experiences these were souls requiring the body of a living entity to do what they can't. Afterall the soul is equivalent to the 0, meaning nothing. It requires something (the 1=body) to do its work, see the riddle, and help them. \nObviously there are bad souls as there are good souls, all those that have come to me are troubled by burdens brought on by others. All but one, my children's great grandmother, she used me to say goodbye to the vital blood that she'd never met. \nI have been blessed by the knowledge of knowing that the troubled soul requires the living to help them, to free them.\nBut first, you must be aware of that, only then can you help them. So, if a ghost is present about you, ask them who they are, ask them how you can help them. Then, if you can....\nhelp them to find their path toward the light.\nThere must be a reason why they chose you, was it because they knew you'd know, see them, be able to help them?

Philosophers have been asking these questions for thousand of years. Modern science has not helped explain our beliefs, but you could be asking yourself, "if the soul can't be perceived, and no residence has been found, does it actually exist?". Really, a ghost in the machine? It just can't stand up to logic.

Hey!  Don't put down a seemingly silly question that is under the alternate section of the science and mathematics area, especially under paranormal phenomena.  He has placed it in the right spot.  Be good little scientists and use logic and evidence to prove or disprove the topics brought up in here.\n\nI have never heard of shadow people myself.  I don't think we could ever sense "people" in another dimension or that they could ever sense or in any way interact with us because we are governed by different laws of physics.

People who beleive in ghosts (and I don't) say that only troubled spirits stay behind as ghosts. I am very happy. In 150 years, I will be dead, but not a ghost. And I don't think about it, other than answering this question, because I am enjoying my life in the present.

People have the ability to create "thought forms."  Particularly in groups it is easy to create hysteria as well.  The biggest problem with this data is there's no way to have a control group so its hard to know for certain what was going on.\n\nOn the other hand, Poltergeists are never a "real ghost" they are in fact the manifestations of someone or some thing's latent psychic energy.  Also, Demons are always looking for belief to exploit... the results of this study really don't come as much of a surprise to me. It's a shame they never tried to identify further what really happened.\n\nThanks for sharing! ^^\n\n*added* Epona, I reported you... it's been over 24 hrs and still no response.  My question is, why did people give you two thumbs up for not giving an answer?

You can't communicate with spirits because they don't exist. Neither do ghosts. You can, however, convince yourself that you do, in which case talking to them could be easy.

you are right, i dont know why scientist feel the need to make stuff up and say that its proven fact i wish i new why they just cant tell the truth good question i hope some (scientist) give there answer and dont lie thank you

IMHO, people resort to supernatural explanations for phenomena they don't understand because they don't have the patience for science to catch up with what is observed.\nSince the supernatural does not exist, I think it's intellectually dishonest to attribute the unexplained to it.  Coincidence does exist; the paranormal does not.

That's a good question...I watched a National Geographic documentary on ghosts, it had some decent evidence...but if you ever watched a National Geographic documentary on anything out of the ordinary, they are going to dissect it into the skeptics point of view.  The other shows's are pretty stupid...no real proof other than believing the clairvoyant's accounts.  The Science / Discovery Channel has some pretty good stuff on supernatural that would make an attempt to believe otherwise.

I have heard of ghosts but I haven't seen one in my entire life.So I don't believe in them.I think that when we are afraid of the presence of a spirit, its all in our mind and our imagination that scares us.

For a start, this question doesn't blong in the physics section of this invaluable resource. \n\nsecondly why do people insist on labelling everything. Just because there isn't a hard-to-spell sciency word to describe something do we have to bring in the paranormal to explain it. Back in the dark ages when peasents saw lightening they thought it was the gods playing games or torturing them, but we quite happily believe nowadays that it is a discharge of static charge from the clouds. \n\nJust think in years to come when the flying saucers are explained the people of the future with their aluminium foil hats and flashy gadgets will think of us as idiots for thinking paranormal activities have ghostly ties.\n\nThere is no such things as ghosts because the term is meaningless. a better question is how can i explain this effect better. For example there are loads of unexplained happenings such as the infamous question of just who is voting for Tony Blair at every election, but we don't bring the paranormal in to explain that now do we???\n\nTO CONCLUDE:\n\nThere is no such things as ghosts, just lazy physicists

This world is is full of things that are unexplainable that even the wisest man cannot explain. We might believe on some other things that might exist or not, but it all depend with us. As for the ghost, there might be such thing that exist that we dont know, however everything depend on what we believe. But I think we should trust more on our self extinct...

I am a ghost hunter.  Yes some ghosts can, however they are not ghosts.  They are a level 3 or above poltergiest.  Ghosts in general are 99.9% harmless, the .1% that do cause harm are in this classification.  If you would like you can email me and I can give you more detailed instructions on how you can take care of this problem.  Just give me all the details of the occurances and I will be able to help.

I don't think most people "see" ghosts per se; they experience them. When most people tell you about their encounter with a ghost or the supernatural, the things you will hear most often are tales of cabinets falling over, doors and windows opening themselves, toilets flushing, floating cats, ect.

None-And let me add, that people who believe in things such as ghosts, telekinesis, etc, think that the scientific establishment want to somehow dispute this, even though they know its true.  Discovering that telekinesis is true, that bigfoot really exists, that there are provable ghosts, would make a scientist's career and put them in the history books...and scientists are, if anything, more curious than most people-we would LOVE to see that kind of thing...remember, lots of us were raised on science fiction and still harbour hopes of meeting ET, going faster than light speed, finding out the ESP really works...on and on.  Problem is, we also require real proof.  No, there is no proof of telekinesis.  If there were, the US government would be pouring billions of dollars into studying it.

People who say there are no ghosts generally are not Christians or they haven't paid real close to the teachings of the bible. there is a spiritual warfare going on at all times on this earth. \nThere are no ghosts per say but instead demons who take on the image of people in order to confuse and lead away people. when we die we sleep and wait for the end times for when Christ comes back. we do not float around and haunt things. \nwhat you need to do is walk around the house and say "In the name of Christ I command you to leave".  also do alot of praying. if this does not work then contact a parapsychologist who studies and investigates the paranormal. usually these people will not charge nothing and be happy to investigate!

Osho once said, 'life is not a problem to be solved, its a mystery to be lived'.\nEverything in this world is a mystery.It is the same with ghosts too.They might exist ,who knows.\nThose who believe that they don't exist are wrong, because they have not experienced it themselves.\nThere are many things beyond our vision and capacity.
