What are ghosts and
poltergeists?
For a long
time now, people have seen ghosts. These ghosts were considered as the souls of
dead people (or animals in some cases) who did not cross over to heaven or the
other place and are still here on earth trying to fulfill some unfinished
business such as punishing someone who hurt them or delivering a certain message
that they weren’t able to deliver during their lifetime. They are usually
undistinguishable in shape and often manifest as a vortex of smoke or a nearly
human shape. Ghosts aren’t able to touch or break anything; they can only
manifest in a transparent shape and, make scary noises and rarely speak.
Poltergeists on the other hand are capable of more than that; they can make
stuff fly across a room, they can break glass objects, and they are invisible.
They were considered as demons or evil nature spirits.
What causes ghosts and
poltergeists?
Scientists
are trying to explain the ghost and poltergeist phenomenon. They finally thought
that they might be the interference of the human brain with an electromagnetic
field present in certain areas since more than ninety percent of the houses in
which ghosts or poltergeists appear. Not any human present in an electromagnetic
field can make a ghost or poltergeist appear, he must be in a very high
emotional state such as being extremely angry or disturbed. Normally,
adolescents are the cause of ghostly appearances.
Why do ghosts appear in old houses and
mansions?
Old houses
and mansions are usually built upon granite mines and granite is often used in
their building. Granite is known for its very high electromagnetic properties
and since these houses contained granite in their structure and under them, the
chances of seeing a ghost are very high. Ghosts and poltergeists can also appear
in modern houses that are built under a high voltage power line or if they
contain plenty of electrical appliances that emit a high electromagnetic
field.
Recent scientific ghost
studies:
During a
scientific study, scientists asked some volunteers to spend the night at a house
claimed to be haunted. During the night, the volunteers heard some strange
noises from the adjoining room. They went there. The lights started to turn on
and off in a crazy way and an armchair started moving by itself. The next
morning, they recalled seeing a ghost. All of them saw a ghost but each one saw
a different ghost; some saw Lord Jesus Christ, others saw Buddha, and others saw
their dead aunt.
In England, at Hampton court palace, a
ghost was captured on the security camera. Warder James Faukes said that the
ghost was “incredibly spooky because the face just didn't look human” State
apartment warder Ian Franklin added: "Someone who appears to be in a full cloak
walks forward, brings one door in, another door in and then closes it behind
him.”
However,
until now, laboratory tests are still unable to prove any ghost appearance
scientifically that is by making a ghost appear in a lab. We are still waiting
for the real ghost busters to come and solve this mystery.
