If I'm high enough man lol but otherwise not really, all those shows are scams and why the hell would anyone think that after you die you just because a semi-invisible thing that floats around scaring everyone? That would be retarded

Some critical thought about the tools and methods ghost hunters use.

Ghost hunting tools of the trade

In short
The use of any kind of measuring equipment to detect ghosts is fundamentally, and completely, bogus. How can I make a blanket statement like that? Measuring equipment detects what it is designed to detect, whether that's light, heat, electromagnetism, or whatever. Thus it will only detect things that emit measurable amounts of those energies. For us as viewers to accept that some piece of handheld measuring equipment has a useful function in detecting a ghost, we must base our acceptance on the premise that ghosts are known to emit those types of energies in measurable amounts. If there were any truth to this, science would have discovered it long ago. Hospital operating rooms would have ghost detection equipment built in. Mortuaries and crematoriums would have ghost detection equipment at the top of their list. Search and rescue crews would use ghost detection equipment. If ghosts did exist and were detectable, you can bet that there would be huge industries behind it. I can't think of anything that would attract more venture capital dollars from Silicon Valley. However, no rigorous research has ever shown that ghosts can be reliably detected with hardware. It's easy to disbelieve me, but it's much harder to disbelieve the lack of interest from greedy corporate America.

heres the deal. every major religion has references to ghosts. the stories of ghosts have been around since the beginning of time. for stories to live that long theres truth to it. i found it hard to believe (i was skeptical) until i actually lived in a haunted house. we lived there two months. my wife and daughter was sunburned because they would sit outside scared to go into the house untill i got home from work. the weirdest thing about it was the thresholds of the doors. you stepped right inside the house you had an instant headache. as soon as you stepped outside the threshold to the door it went away. this is what made me start to beleive it was somethin going on. thats until i seen an apparition of a man walk from the bathroom out the back door. after that we moved out and we came back to florida. the house was built in 1912

I believe what we all think are "Ghosts" are actually weakened vibrational points between two realities, or time lines, or alternate realities, or parallel universes, some how manifesting and crossing over into our reality/experience for a brief but absolute moment, and it will appear to be what we all commonly misconceive as so called "Ghosts". Just my theory but i do base it on fact that modern science cant even describe or compute little own theorize what reality is.

Another explanation is that the mistakes of perception, logic and memory that cause people to believe in ghosts are inherit to the human experience and therefore have been around as long as humans. Some people still believe the world is flat, a theory that has been around a long time, does it's age give it any sort of validity?

I am not knocking the observation, only the conclusion. I also find it interesting as to why ghost stories persist. I mean after all, they are all pretty similar and transcend era, culture, location, upbringing, ect. These people are not just inventing pink unicorns out of the air, they are all having a similar experience. There must be something to it.

What I have come to believe is that something is simply mistakes. There are too many things going on to explain them all, hallucinations, illusions, trickery, mis-perceptions, bias, ect, but they all amount to mistakes. The human brain is actually very adept at fooling itself. It's the only explanation I have found to reconcile the contrast between the sheer number of reported experiences and research done on the subject and the complete and utter lack of evidence.

If you wish to explore in more detail some of these mistakes or individual cases id be happy to.
