You see millions of Ghosts every time you look up at the night sky - stars which died billions of years ago.

Who's to say that some 'energy' from 'dead' humans cannot sometimes be perceived by the living given a particular set of circumstances being ideal?

Do you seriously only believe in what your five senses perceive?

We know that some sounds exist which we cannot hear - ultra sonic ones. We know that some realities exist which we cannot see - atomic and sub atomic worlds within worlds. We know that there is something we call a 'sixth' sense because most of us have experienced it.

Radio and television waves are invisible and silent without a switched on receiver but they still exist without one.

Perhaps our brains - 90% of which we do not understand the function of - are capable of 'receiving' other types of wave energy which we have not identified yet but which exists nonetheless, and one type of such energy may emanate from human bodies after death - ghosts in other words.

Perhaps genuine photographs of ghosts have been obscured by the thousands of photographs faked by charlatans with varying degrees of success.

Who are we to dismiss everyone who claims to have seen a ghost as being liars, deluded or cranks? I am absolutely certain that some people have seen ghosts - especially of departed loved ones. They are not all nuts.

I will pose a variation of one of my favourite hypothetical scenarios; You are sitting at home with your partner or a friend, when say, Elvis appears to you. Old Elvis says; "I'm real man, but I'm a ghost . I just wanted you to know that death ain't the end. It's just the beginning. I need you to tell everybody man. Thank you very much". and with that he is gone. You both look at each other - yes it did just happen. Would you go out and tell anybody?

Would you hell. But even if you had the courage and actually did tell people - what reaction do you think you'd get? Even friends who would pay you 'lip service' to your face would think privately that you'd 'lost it' or were lying.

Think about it.

So how do we know that ghosts don't exist? How do we know that asylums haven't sometimes confined certain inmates who just should not have been there?
