My husband thinks that there are parallel universes and ghosts and the like are when another parellel universe rubs against ours.
I think he's a twit.
Have other people thought this (the ghost part, not the twit part) or is it his own original idea? |

At least he's thinking outside the box unlike alot of other people are capable of doing. (And I'm not speaking of anyone in this forum  I personally don't believe in alternate dimensions but again I could always be wrong. However I see ghosts and spirits, as I mentioned in another thread, as ripples in time. |

| I've asked this before.....why do ghosts wear clothes? If a ghost was once a living entity then where do the clothes come in? |

Ghost is better called 'spirit'. Spirits tend to steer away from younger spirits, as they are more succeptable to evil, or so the theory goes.

Why the spirit realm of course. There is many thing one can learn from the spirits. .

| As well as ghosts taking their clothes with them you have to wonder if there is a time limit for their haunting days. You would think we should see a few cavemen but ghosts are generally fairly recent. A ghost rider on a horse or any animal in ghost form should tell the believers that dead animals share that same ghostly property as humans. Even then I have to ask...where are dino ghosts? Has anybody ever heard of a ghost plant? |

I don't think plants are the same kind of life form, the spirit reflects the intelligence of the host. Which would explain why in Hinduism that the less good deeds you do, the more likley in the circle of life you are lower. Who knows.
Plant ghosts...  I've heard it all now, thats even too radical for me.

| I have seen a ghost, i try to be as rational of a person that i can possibly be, but i simply cannot explain the ghost that i saw away. it is something i have really been tackeling with lately, because if what i saw really was ghost (and i am certian it was) it completely destroys my perception of reality. it is one of those things that start with, i know this sounds crazy... or your not going to believe this... |

what did it look like? Was it a whisp of smoke as has been video taped as apparent ghosts or was it the fictional version of ghosts as they look in movies and such? I'm not exactly sure which version is correct or if infact either or none of them are. |

its funny now to think about it, it was the stereotype a cloudy/smokey human shaped figure, others have seen the same ghosts in the same building i dont know if anyone has seen him recently they called him mr.newkurk.
its just odd though, as soon as you have this mental impression of the world and everything is rational something absoluty bizzare happens.
has anyone else seen a ghost |

Plants? Dinos?
I've never thought of that before. Interesting. Although, I don't believe in ghosts for the more practical belief. The question of never seen any other than people much less recent ones it odd.

So then did this whispy smoke wear clothes as was stated earlier in this thread concerning the improbability of ghosts or was it just a human figured whisp of smoke that moved about and such?
I'm also curious as to the differences between poltergeists and spirits. Poltergeists are those things that follow families around while spirits and ghosts are just stuck to one indiviual place correct? |
