The real test will come when there are permanent bases on the moon or Mars and someone dies there. That's not likely in our lifetimes, unfortunately (and I mean that in the logical way, not the 'I hope someone dies' way)<BR/><BR/>As for restriction to places, such as buildings, it might be that the ghost is really restricted by the magnetic/electrical signature of the walls or it might be just that they think they are. It's hard to tell because the ghosts themselves won't know. All they know is they're stuck.<BR/><BR/>It'll take a cooperative ghost to work it out, and there aren't many of those.Romulus Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275578435620952450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-77864213971873884382008-11-21T18:26:00.000+00:002008-11-21T18:26:00.000+00:00There are some really interesting thoughts here.

I don't think this is what Atrueoriginal means, but maybe ghosts are held here by magnetic energy. <BR/><BR/>The thing I wondered as I read your post, Rom, is how we know ghosts can go through some walls, but not others? Has that been observed and tested? How do we know that they simply <I>chose</I> not to go through a given wall? And how do we know they don't leave? Maybe they leave and return. I'm with you. I'd like to know a whole lot more about it.astrologymemphis.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094432734141490681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-64708822062221776952008-11-13T02:04:00.000+00:002008-11-13T02:04:00.000+00:00Heyjude - there are cases where it appears that th...Heyjude - there are cases where it appears that the ghost is stuck and has 'unfinished business', or believes they do. Mostly it's a useful plotline for fiction, but once in a while it does happen.<BR/><BR/>However, the business they consider unfinished might relate to something from so long ago that it no longer applies to anyone alive. So it can't possibly ever be completed. <BR/><BR/>There, you touch on the ghost's perception of time, another thing we know little to nothing about. Some don't believe they're dead so they aren't likely to believe they've been hanging around for a hundred years or so. Some think they're dreaming - and dreams have no definite time element so they might believe they'll wake at any moment.<BR/><BR/>Just like the living, every ghost is an individual. Each have their own reasons for hanging around. <BR/><BR/>It's a tough subject to study when every data point (each ghost) is different, but that's what makes it so interesting.Romulus Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275578435620952450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-78352606526142109502008-11-13T01:55:00.000+00:002008-11-13T01:55:00.000+00:00Atrueoriginall - it's not true to say that scienti...Atrueoriginall - it's not true to say that scientists, not even physicists, know everything. There is a great deal still to find. <BR/><BR/>Your point on magnetic fields is certainly interesting though, it's something I've considered in the non-spirit 'replay' hauntings but not in the case of true hauntings. Perhaps a magnetometer would be an interesting addition to the investigator's kit. The EMF meter has not proved to be particularly useful.<BR/><BR/>We don't know what ghosts are made of. That's the bottom line. Any ideas are worth looking at, at this stage.

Obviously, this is going to have to be something that cannot be seen with the human eye but yet exists and our scientists would already be privy to that existence. <BR/><BR/>Physics is aware of everything that we cannot see with our eyes. They understand it and they test it. If not by an electron microscope, they've discovered everything else through tests of some type. <BR/><BR/>The only thing out there (I'll call it a 'fabric' for a better word) capable of becoming an entity of some kind in death, would have to be of our own earth's magnetic field. <BR/><BR/>How else could we walk through walls or lay down our life’s' experiences, pictures, memories and knowledge if we didn't have something to adhere it to. We would be brainless wonders and wouldn't even wander since we wouldn't have the knowledge to even know what wandering is.<BR/><BR/>Consequently, the odds are looking pretty good that the actual fabric of the spirit is nothing more than a very small part of earth's magnetic field and our life's experiences are being laid down on that magnetic field just like we lay down sound and pictures to magnetic tapes similar to how it is done to a cassette or VHS. <BR/><BR/>In respect to us not becoming one with the 'whole of things' (as in the larger portion of the magnetic field), which actually wicks out somewhat beyond our atmosphere), I suspect that our central nervous system could be responsible for that separation and how we become individual entities. It could be the fire, or it could even be the action of the synapse within the CNS. Then again, it could be specific chemicals that the body manufactures such as the ones produced through the CNS including hormones. <BR/><BR/>Of course nobody really knows. What we do recognize is that present day entities are already separate from one another and not attached to something much larger. Lastly, as we grow we take on/in more of that magnetic field and it basically grows with us and actually gets larger.<BR/><BR/>As far as why ghosts won't leave a particular building or come up from a dark, damp cellar I think it may have to do with sound. Vibrations would probably drive them batty since they would forever be inundated with sound vibrations passing through them. That sounds like a living hell. Possibly this is why we're to be buried and also why there aren't 80 billion ghosts running around the world since there are about 80 billion that have lived on this earth thus far. Just possibly our ghosts we do experience were subject to cremation instead.<BR/><BR/>It makes one wonder where and how we would want to die. Hospitals are fairly quiet but not always and for that matter, why don't we ever hear continual reports that hospitals are haunted instead of only the archaic ones that once housed prisoners, plagues and tuberculosis. <BR/><BR/>There are a lot of unanswered questions that can drive us batty but the biggest one of all is why the ghost doesn't give up the ghost and tell it all.Atrueoriginallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754487232993372983noreply@blogger.com
