Only the gullible and those that have mandates to substantiate the after-life believe in ghosts and the paranormal.
Ghosts are simply wishful thinking and a convenient excuse for explaining ‘what goes bump in the night.’
Proving ghosts are a man-made psychosis is in-fact very simple.
1.) Ghosts come in one form – that just happens to be human - which is conveniently what we bipedal-chimps want to see, and not say a dead cow hovering at the end of ones bed. Have you ever heard of the legend of oceans being haunted by ghostly plankton?
2.) Ghosts just happen to be nocturnal, preferring night-time to ‘do their thing’. So when you die you suddenly become adverse to daylight – right?
3.) Like the popular bug-eyed Aliens, modern ghosts are all stereotypical, with the same looks and characteristics. The standard ghost or spectre in China is that of a Chinaman. The standard ghost in an Inuit community resembles the locals and not a six foot six black-man.
4.) Purportedly ghosts have the ‘magical’ capabilities to travel through walls, levitate etc. Powers they didn’t have when they were alive. They move objects all the time – but never get behind the wheels of a car and drive, type a letter on a computer or light-up a Bensons and Hedges. When it comes to interacting with humans all ghosts want to do is scare the shit out of the living in the dead of night or flash their tits at us in photos. Aimless activity, no-one has been able to detect with any surety.
5.) Ghosts are allergic to large crowds. ‘The Ghost of Super Bowl’ or ‘The Ghost of F.A Cup’ – I don’t think so.
6.) Ghosts love hotels and pubs. When you die you head immediately to ‘your local’ for a pint. How else could you explain the disproportionately high number of pubs that are haunted? And it’s always old pubs that act as magnets to the living dead, rather than a Five Star Hilton.
7.) If you can walk through walls why don’t you simply drop through the floor as well?
8.) Why aren’t all ghosts totally naked?
9.) Seeing that potentially we living-humans share the planet with 60 billion spirits, comprising all of humanities dead – where do these hordes of living-dead spend their time? I mean where do they live? Caves? The bottom of the ocean? The stratosphere? Six to a house?
10.) Last but not least – there is not a shred of evidence.

Awesome.
1.My friend has seen several ghost cats.Fail...
2.Ghosts have been seen during the day.
3.Well,of course demons often imitate the cultures they're trying to scare,but there is a native legend of a wolf man(man who controls wolves,not werewolf!) who is 7 feet tall,and I know someone who's seen him.
4.Ghosts are most likely demons,but I have heard several stories of people befriending ghosts.
5.Then everyone would believe in them?I don't think they want to be known.
6.Because more evil is committed in a pub or a crappy hotel than a 5 star hotel.But there has been cases...A 5 star hotel in a city called Banff has tons of reports.
7.Because they can float?I imagine they just imitate walking and could fall through the floor if they want.
8.Because then they'd be funny.
9.People that believe in ghosts often say that ghosts rest when they have no regrets...Or something,so all the ghosts are dead people with regrets.
10.I bet you've never tried finding one.You disbelieve cause you haven't experienced them yourself...That my friend,is ignorance.I have experienced a handful of things,nothing noteworthy,I wouldn't say I believe in ghosts,but I do say that there is a high chance demons trick humans in the form of ghosts.Who knows though,maybe they are just spirits of the dead.
It's completely ignorant to say something doesn't exist just because you haven't seen it.Might as well say solar eclipses don't exist!Or The Beatles! Dinosaurs! We've only see bones,how do we know they weren't walking skeletons!
I don't know if ghosts exist - but there is not a single proof they don't, in your text...
- The agnostic
wow thats priceless!!!
dear writer honey
your perception of ghosts obviously
has inferred from movies or something
let me break it down for ya
your a 5 years old who after watching casper the friendly ghost movie starts denying god and afterlife just because he doesnt think that ghosts
look like casper
ifeel sorry really
75% of ghost sightings are in houses that have carbon monoxide leaks which causes hallucinations. And all I can say is that if you see an odd shadow and you believe in ghosts its a ghost. If you see a odd shadow and you don't, its the wind blowing a curtain. They dont exist but its in peoples minds. So I guess they exist in peoples subconscious.
To say "there's no proof they don't" as an argument that it is possible for it to exist is retarded, has always been retarded and shall, hopefully continiue to be viewed as retarded.
The idea of ghosts are fucked up in SOOO many ways, but just to name a very important argument, there's NOTHING that is proved to continiue to go on in a persons head after death, meaning there's nothing a ghost can be made of that was there before!
Another even more important is that all we humans are, is our brains, and to be more specific, our BRAINCELLS and all the electrical shit that goes on up there. Ghosts SHOULD be small braincells floating around, and braincells can do DICK when it comes to moving objects without a body!!!
You who do belive in ghosts or consider yourselves "agnostic" should get back to school and stay there til you get beaten some sense into! And if teachers belive in it, they should be fired due to not being able to do some very basic THINKING!
Sorry, got angry, but you really are very stupid.
Best regards//

I absolutely love this, particularly number 1 XD
Are you people five? No matter how much you want to believe in magic it doesnt exist. This is not being close minded, it is finally laying this ancient mysticism to rest in light of logic and reason. So your friends saw a few ghosts? Well I have friends that make outrageous claims all the time. I slept with such and such model, I saw ut happen. I call it for what it is. Bullshit
You, sir, are ignorant. You obviously have NEVER witnessed any kind of paranormal activity. I recommend going to Gettysburg, PA. Snap a lot of photos of the battlefield, do some EVP sessions, and take a video or two. What you get WILL surprise you. I just got back from Gettysburg, and in one picture alone I got 4 anomalies. FOUR things that I absolutely cannot explain. Including the ghosts of two Confederates behind a rock in the Triangular Field. I can assure you that there was NOBODY in the field with me at the time, HOWEVER there were dozens of people behind me in Devils Den. Could it be a very very weird flick of the light? Sure, I guess. But that doesn't explain why the Confederate ghosts were wearing Confederate clothing that you could see clearly. So, I'm calling your bluff. Go to Gettysburg, then comment on this forum again. Ghosts exist, I have the proof on my facebook, in my phone, everywhere.
Dear Mashimaro,
1) I think that this friend of yours is trying to make a fool out of you and if not, he needs serious psychological help.
2) Lets remember, we're just talking about 3rd person account. How can you say that with certainty?
3) Oh, don't tell me...you believe in demons and legends. Clearly, you belong to the ancient roman catholic age, when the church used to torture and kill people who didn't believe in god.
4) Why is it that you've only heard stories and not befriended any ghost yourself. Again, we must remember that we're talking of 3rd person accounts, which don't hold any solid proof.
5) Ghosts don't want to be known...right!! May I ask, how do you know that? Were you present in one of there secret meetings??
6) Tons of reports, without any proof. How can you tell with certainty that its not somebody playing tricks on them or that its not a publicity gimmick??
7) How many times have you seen a ghost floating in the air??????? How many times have you seen a ghost at all...?????
8) Why can't ghosts be funny??
9) You just said it...People who believe in ghosts can make up XYZ stories, because they have a following of people like you who would believe them.
10) Have you tried finding them. You believe in something, without having proof of its existence...THAT, MY FRIEND IS CALLED "IGNORANCE"..!!
@Mashimaro
1: offers no evidence at all just a claim that is not substantiated.
2:The vast majority happen at night or in dark spooky places
3:>implying demons exist(we are talking about ghosts)
4: magic floor pixies are actually ceiling fairies
5:I'm glad you have talked to them and acquired the evidence required to back up your claim.
6:define Evil
7:I guess you win this one
8:why can't a ghost be funny exactly? I feel like it is up to the individual ghost.
9: using pure speculation in an argument that requires facts.
10:He is not required to believe without evidence, that is called faith. It is the job of the claimer to prove something.I would say it is ignorant to expect someone to believe claims that have no real evidence.In order demons to be tricking us in the form of ghosts they have to exist(they don't)
It is not ignorant to not believe claims blindly, in fact it is almost the exact opposite.
Fossilized dinosaur skin and feathers prove that they were at least partially skinned, not to mention that it is also a safe assumption to assume they had skin.
The single best argument against ghosts is simply this:
Many billions of people have died on this planet. That means, if "ghosts" do exist, there would be billions of them "hanging out" all over the world. This population of "ghosts" would be VERY HARD TO MISS. There would be sightings on a daily basis and by more than one person. They would be all around us. Everyone would have a "ghost sighting". But this is not the case. People who have "ghost sightings" almost always have them when they are alone and have no one else to corroborate what they saw. Other stories of "sightings" are usually attached to a hotel or an inn or even a restaurant. These so called "haunted places" are named as such because the owners know it is good for business and that people are just gullible and stupid enough to believe them and will rush there in droves to try and "witness a ghost". The human mind is very good at believing what it wants to believe. It doesn't take much for a person to convince themselves that some perfectly explainable phenomena is a "ghost".
Ghost,Demons,disembodied Spirit's, Animals also have souls {All exist in the unseen realm that surrounds us)Check out my website,it's not finished yet. Debbie www.wix.com/debbiedakota/spiritual-warfare.
I've had a paranormal experience happen to me that I have no other way of explaining other than a ghost. I wasn't even thinking of ghosts when it happened but I was in (what they call) a highly paranormal location... In Gettysburg, PA. The event is still fresh in my head, I didn't see a ghost, but I'm very positive that one interacted with the hotel room I was staying in, considering the moving objects and footsteps when all other rooms around me were vacant. And it wasn't an instant that's-got-to-be-a-ghost theory, I tried debunking the whole thing every way possible.
Not only that. This happened in the day time. I've heard of friends seeing ghosts of dogs, I don't accuse my friends of being delusional.
I've read up on ghosts and the spirit world, although there is not much proof, it's more like a personal thing, and there is a lot of scientific evidence that can debunk a lot of ghost stories out there. I don't believe it's rational, just because you've never experienced something paranormal, can you rule out all existence of ghosts. As science explains more of the world's revelations and history, it's hard to believe in any sort of "fairy tale" afterlife.
In all, I believe your blog is tasteless and novice in your reasonings and research. You seem to be the perfect nihilist.

This is a shitty article
How can a ghost talk sending vibrations through the air
Do ghosts get sick
If a person dies drunk is the ghost under the influence?
Ghosts are bull shit so is god we are all just sucking the life out of the earth until humans and earth is dead just like mold eats bread then the mold dies
The reason I believe in the Beatles, and Dinosaurs is because there is a huge amount of evidence for them, it seems to only be irrational people who see ghosts, never anyone who cares about the scientific explanations for them (its all in the head). The only evidence we have to go by is passed down ghost stories and bad photoshop.
1. Sure your friend does. By any chance, is this person often called the "crazy cat person"/ been diagnosed with a psycological disorder?
2. Have you seen scary movies before? Shows "based off of true events"? All at night. Unless you interview people who have "seen" ghosts, invalid.
3. How would you know what demons do? And "...theyre trying to scare"? The fuck? I can't even get into that without a paragraph. By the way, you sure "know a lot of people" who have "seen" these specific "ghosts".
4. You just contradicted the shit out of yourself. How would you know exactly what most of them are?
5. How in the world would you know how all ghosts are?
6. Ever heard of white noise at 18hertz? Google it.
7. How do you explain the footsteps?
8. Do you think that their clothing becomes ghostly, too? That's absolutely stupid.
9. I'm pretty sure most everyone dies with at least one regret. I'd say invalid.
10. I don't believe in them because everything in science says no. There is no absolute proof. Explain that. And don't you dare say that all ghosts keep to themselves.
Look, I am pretty damn sure ghosts do not exist, there is no evidence. Unfortunately every point this post gives except the last one are just lame and don't really say anything.
But believe me people, ghosts can not be considered to exist unless there is any evidence, Mashimaro's comment was just as stupid as most of this post,someone once said (I can't be bothered to look up who) "Science is Belief Because of Evidence, Faith is Belief Dispite Evidence" If you believe in Ghosts then this quote pretty much says that you are irrational
Mashimaro?
If I said that I was fifty foot tall and breathed fire, would you just take my word for it? Or call my bluff?.
Yeah ... see how that works?
This is why I never except someones story at face value on these matters.
Good day
Idiot believiers frustrate me, because they're simply spreading their incorrect beliefs. Yes, believe what you want to believe, but don't go telling other people they 'must' exist because you've seen it, it's arrogant and not to mention stupid, senses can be fooled, very very easy. People who happen to present evidence why they don't exist however (which I don't think you've done entirely, but still I commend your efforts) aren't being arrogant or presenting their opinions, because they're just informing you of well known facts, (evidence which can't be debunked). Furthermore, beliefs, opinions and human senses are biased, facts however aren't, they're based upon years of research and experimentation which can be replicated by anyone with sufficient knowledge of the subject. But I don't doubt you people who do believe in ghosts or have had 'expiriences' believe you have seen certain things. Please note the word 'believe' it's similiar to faith, which again, is a idiotic concept.
Really, people's minds are so pathetic these days. You see what you want to see, nothing more, nothing less. If you want to see a ghost cat, eventually you will. Your friend wont tell you that. And he did prove a giant point, if they can walk through walls, they would fall through the ground. And not only that, but what are ghost made up of anyway?? until we find that out, there isn't a bit of proof other than "faith" for ghost as well. There is as much proof in Atlantis as in ghost.
The same people who say ghosts don't exist actually mean they think they CAN'T exist. This is the same groundless argument used to dismiss all UFO reports as bunkum. Skeptics in the UFO field don't want to know about the *many* cases where something genuinely strange was most definitely observed. No serious study is done, even when it is clear that mundane explanations just do not cut the mustard. And don't tell me that that never happens - I can name 20 cases off the top of my head where no rational exdplanation was offered. But no-one then said " Well, it must be an alien ship." Because it CAN'T be true. WHY can't it be true? Because we don't have FTL drives? We didn't have aircraft 120 years ago, and some dimbulbs back in 1892 were probably scoffing at the idea of powered flight. It smacks of arrogance and wilful ignorance to just dismiss even the remote possibility of something outside of smug scientific certainty. Deeply hypocritical, too, in that it displays the same unwillingness to shift from held beliefs shown by the religious. I tend to lean towards the view that SOME ghosts may be real, but that they are not the spirits of the dead. Note how your classic ghost tends to repeat the same actions - is it not possible to surmise from this that what people are seeing might be a kind of dimensionally-related
electromagnetic 'recording' of a human form that is 'replayed' when certain conditions zare present? How it is stored, and how it can come about at all, I don't know, but who is to say that in 50 years we will not be able to view other dimensions where such wraiths may lie in a kind of 'tape bank'? It can't be true? Oh yes it bloody well can. Plenty of skepotics sneered at the idea of the Higgs Boson - who is sneering now?
Either way, I don't care, but think about this. We look at the Middle Ages and think 'What a bnunch of dopes, believing in (this) or (that)' - what will the people of 2212 think of US? "My God, they thought you couldn't travel faster than light, and dismissed dimensional aura recordings as fairy tales". Can you say definitely that will not happen? Oh, well, you probably will, because it CAN'T BE TRUE, can it? :)
If you don't care, why did you waste your time writing all that? Fail. Bravo.
Oh, and ghosts are a load of nonsense. Gettysburg is no more haunted than my nostrils. Enjoy screaming into the void, morons.
75%? Where did you get this fact? And can this source be verified?
I wouldn't get too upset these individuals still have the mindset that the world was flat and that man could never fly.
@Mashimaro
you say u have experienced a handfull of paranormal experiences....
why is it always the believers who experience such activities.....not one but a handfull....
Nice arguments. Imust comment that I am an athiest. I've taken many religion classes and the professors and books all pretty much say stories of gods were started around campfires to make ppl feel a lilltle better about death .... Ghosts? I don't know. Oddly, I used to believe. I've seen many shows and read many books that "prove" ghosts..... However as I grow older,the more science classes I take and more science and cosmology books I read, it does seem a tad childish. However I'm also not 100% dismissing ghosts...... I know how weird I sound so I don't need any slow minded idiots pointing this out..... I'm just curious to see if theirs any atheists who share my views and may believe in ghosts?
Hey dude or dudet, how do you explain 2 people hearing the same noise's at the same time.?
Retards will debate the unknown until the end of time and never come up with a logical answer for the paranormal, afterlife or whatever the fuck people want to call it. Most people who are absolutely positive that ghost's don't exist are basically scared of the unknown. Complete cowards who deep down inside are afraid of what awaits them upon death. Closet believers of heaven and hell. So they try and convince themselves that the possibility of anything other than everyday life doesn't exist. Atheists are just as bad, if not worse than bible thumpers. They are both cowards who fear the unknown. All this debate is a complete waste of time because we will never know until we die. So you can all continue being useless piece's of shit who will never amount to anything and have no purpose other than trying to satisfy your insecurities. Have a swell day and don't miss the short bus ya fucking mongoloids.
I wonder why Thomas Edison believed in ghosts? I suppose it was just the superstition of the time. Anyways, the list above doesn't "prove" that ghosts do not exist. It's more of a list of personal statements as to why the author thinks that they do not exist. Which is totally fine, but "proof" is not the word for it. However, I think ghosts fall into the same trap that religion does. Simply; you cannot prove the existence of something that cannot be proven in the first place. If someone insists that the thing in question is real, then the thing is real. Now, I'm not a nihilist or an atheist--I'm an agnostic. I'm not sure what to believe.
I do believe, however, that ghosts and time travelers make for excellent science fiction. :D
Also, as an aside--there have been many accounts of animal spirits. I believe that the author of this particular article is severely limited in his knowledge of folklore from around the world. There are stories of naked ghosts, and # 9 is addressed by the idea that a ghost is the embodiment of a person with severe regret or grief, or someone who died violently. Though, considering how many primitive people died of terrible diseases, animal attacks, and land feuds, there should be more ghosts!
So, are they real? I don't know, but I don't honestly see how people who believe in them are harming anyone in any way. I can see going after the batshit crazy Christians who hurt people or try to tell them how to behave, but this . . . this isn't necessarily hurting anyone.
