Are ghosts real?

It is my belief that our distant ancestors, prehistoric humans, would have confronted the same enigmatic question that haunts us to this day: "Are ghosts real?" Moreover, I am firmly convinced that these early humans would have been totally awestruck by the life-force that not only animated themselves and their fellow humans but also gave energy into the many animals that roamed their world.

Through extensive archaeological excavations, a multitude of burial sites have been unearthed in diverse regions around the world, including Iraq, Croatia, and Israel. It has been estimated that these findings date back at least 60,000 years, with some potentially dating as far back as 100,000 years. In my opinion, it is improbable that our early ancestors would have expended the effort to bury their clan and family members with personal belongings, trinkets, and talismans unless they held a firm belief in the perpetuation of the life force and the concept of an afterlife. Additionally, in the event of the passing of one of their tribal members or loved ones, I am confident that they would have taken a moment to contemplate the whereabouts of that life force.

A former skeptic


In October 2009, I originally developed and launched this website under a completely different domain name. Prior to that moment, I had consistently held a skeptical and doubtful view concerning the existence of ghosts, haunting's, or anything related to the supernatural or paranormal. Prior to my personal experience, my belief in ghosts was primarily influenced by their portrayal in Hollywood movies and television shows, or as a source of comfort for those of us who harbor an intense fear of death and find solace in the notion of a life after death. Despite my initial skepticism, I am unable to deny the bizarre and unusual manifestations that occurred within my own home. After much thought, I felt it necessary to expand my outlook and thoroughly reconsider the possible existence of ghosts and the paranormal. During that time, I had not fully embraced my belief and still retained a certain amount of skepticism. However, after conducting a thorough examination and carefully considering all incidents and occurrences, I am of the firm belief that the majority of these events can be attributed to natural phenomena. Nevertheless, a considerable portion of it remains unexplainable and may possibly be attributed to ghosts or other supernatural entities.

As to the existence of ghosts and haunting's, I found myself cautiously positioned on the middle of the proverbial fence, unable to fully commit as either a believer or skeptic. It wasn't until I developed an interest in EVP, or electronic voice phenomenon, that my convictions began to change, and I adopted a stronger belief in the presence of ghosts and the supernatural realm. Watching various ghost hunting TV shows left me feeling doubtful about the supposed evidence of ghosts, especially when it came to using electronic voice phenomena (EVP) as proof. Although I did not openly question the authenticity of these programs, I maintained a cautious attitude towards their EVP recordings. Upon my initial watching, it was my belief that a large portion of the audio contained seemingly random sounds or noises that vaguely resemble words. . I would attribute much of it to auditory pareidolia, a term used to describe the psychological phenomenon of perceiving familiar patterns or sounds in otherwise random or meaningless noise.

After becoming interested in Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), I decided to obtain a digital voice recorder in hopes of capturing my own EVP at home. The main objective of this research was to either prove the insignificance of background noise or static, or to provide tangible evidence of electronic voice phenomena supporting the existence of ghosts, spirits, or other paranormal events. After conducting several electronic voice phenomena (EVP) sessions in the privacy of my own home, I have come to the belief that there is a strange presence of supernatural activity within my home that I am unable to grasp. After conducting only, a small portion of the required research, I can confidently state several undeniable facts.

According to the evidence presented, am I now expected to conclude that I believe in the existence of ghosts? Not necessarily! As an average individual, I am unable to definitively state that ghosts are indeed a reality, as no one has been able to provide tangible proof of their existence. Nevertheless, following my exposure to the concept of EVP and my other personal experiences, I realized that my previous skepticism was wrong. As a result, I have now embraced a more open-minded attitude. In reality, I believe ghosts, spirits, and other paranormal entities are likely real.

Science and the paranormal


It is widely known that most reputable scientists maintain a skeptical stance towards the existence of ghosts, haunting's, and other paranormal phenomena. Most highly trained and knowledgeable scientists tend to dismiss any information or claims that cannot be proven through rigorous experimentation using the scientific method under controlled laboratory conditions. According to their actions and statements, it appears their perspective is that anything that cannot be observed, accurately measured, or quantified in a controlled laboratory it is automatically deemed non-existent or irrelevant. Despite the absence of measurable and provable evidence in a controlled setting, I maintain that ghosts, spirits, or other paranormal phenomena cannot be invalidated. There are too many personal anecdotes and experiences that contradict this notion, and it would be narrow-minded to rely on the confines of the scientific method to discuss such a multifaceted and subjective subject. Despite adamantly rejecting the notions of ghosts,and the paranormal, these same scientists struggle with the intricacies of comprehending consciousness and the fundamental nature of reality itself.

The esteemed scientists Sir Roger Penrose and Dr. Stuart Hameroff have put forth a thought-provoking theory known as Quantum mind or Quantum consciousness. This theory delves into the concept of consciousness and its relationship to quantum mechanics, posing a challenge to conventional perspectives on the essence of the mind and brain. This theory surpasses my ability to comprehend or understand, therefore if you desire further information, click on the provided link.

I spent countless hours watching educational programs on the "Discovery Science Channel" delving into the mysterious and vast topics of the universe, black holes, and other intriguing cosmic phenomena. These informative and educational programs offer viewers the opportunity to witness brilliant astrophysicists and scientists diving deep into the intricate and fascinating realm of string theory, as they unravel the mind-boggling concept of 9 or perhaps even 10 additional spatial dimensions. Furthermore, there are certain scientists who subscribe to the notion of multiple universes, while also theorizing the existence of an infinite number of universes collectively referred to as the multi-verse. In addition to their other discussions, they explore the intricate concepts of dark matter and dark energy. However, they are unable to provide any substantial evidence or proof to support their reality. I find it remarkable to observe that these purportedly rational and logical scientists, who hold firm convictions in their unproven theories, frequently neglect to even consider the plausibility and potential presence of supernatural beings, such as ghosts, spirits, and other paranormal entities or supernatural events. Additionally, the most concerning aspect is how physicists and other scientists often belittle those who engage in this kind of research by dismissing it as nothing but pseudo-science and mocking those who hold such beliefs as ignorant or unintelligent.

The quote "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" is widely recognized and was originally coined and popularized by the esteemed astronomer, the late "Carl Sagan". In light of this statement, I am compelled to inquire about the specific location of tangible evidence or proof that can unequivocally support the validity of certain scientific theories, particularly in comparison to theories and beliefs surrounding the paranormal. Using mathematical methods to provide evidence and validation for proposed hypotheses is widely accepted and common practice among physicists and other scientists. The skill and knowledge of the mathematicians will determine the effectiveness and accuracy of their mathematical equations. If their reasoning contains a flaw, it can be deduced that there is also an inaccuracy in the subsequent equation. In addition, it is worth mentioning that even the most esteemed authorities in this field openly admit that their theories and claims may sometimes conflict with one another. Yet, despite extensive research and progress in the field, physicists have not yet fully developed their highly anticipated and much-discussed "."

I also have a question for the scientists who propose theories about parallel universes, multiple universes, string theories, 9 or 10 spatial dimensions, quantum mechanics, and the many-worlds interpretation. Is there any possibility of other beings or entities inhabiting these alternate universes and dimensions? Or are they simply empty and lacking any form of consciousness's, beings, or other entities? If some these physicists and scientists were to open their minds and set aside their egos, they may come to acknowledge the possibility that some supernatural phenomena that will forever remain beyond their understanding. Is it not plausible that some of these other dimensions may be inhabit entities that we know as ghosts, spirits and perhaps other entities that we cannon even imagine. It is also within the realm of possibility that this is where we go after death.



Dedication

This site is dedicated to my late wife, Sally, who passed away on February 15th, 2023, the day after our 52nd wedding anniversary. Sally was the love of my life, and I believe we are soul mates destined to reunite in the afterlife. She succumbed to complications of Alzheimer's disease.

I encourage visitors to consider donating to Alzheimer's Association or any dementia-related charity. This devastating disease robs individuals of their cognitive abilities, erases cherished memories, and ultimately takes their lives. If you are able to, please consider making a donation. Thank you.
