How does Science explain Ghosts?

[VRmaster69]

Hi
Ive been reading all the evolution threads posted lately and its got me thinking how does scienece explain ghosts?

Does science acknowledge them, or just say they dont exist.
I have watched countless programs about them, and although I havent personally experienced seeing one I do beleive.

A person renting out my Uncles house said that on a few occassions they could hear someone walking up and down the hall. She was some sort of spiritualistic person.
My uncle died in that house, so did my Grandfather. I think my great grandfather died in there as well. Ive been in there before a few times, but never at night, and never heard or seen anything extraordinary. The house next door has a well that is haunted to.
Some guy stabbed his wife and threw her down an old well to her death.
2 Haunted places within 50metres of each other. That weird.

Anyway, all you Anandtechers please give me your thoughts and theories on Ghosts.

Why would you care to explain something that doesn't exist?

Is there any evidence to support the existence of ghosts? Evidence which is consistent and repeatable under controlled experimentation, as per the scientific method? If not, why should science explain ghosts? Science is not a "thing", it is a process.

Read the book: "Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan.

It will sum up everything about science in a nutshell, in relation to these meta-science phenomenons.

That's like asking how science explains Greek mythology.

It doesn't

You are making this rash assumption that ghosts exsist. IMHO they dont.

That is a pretty narrow minded assumption on your behalf.
Dont just assume im making a rash anything. bish!

I am almost 90% sure they do.
I know people that have seen them.
Shit, my friend was staying at a beach batch with his family and got thrown out of bed in front of them. This is a family of 5. 5 people making up a story, I dont think so.
They have never gone back. His family is straight up and Ive known him for 8 years. Its pretty hard to just write it off as an "Accident". "He fell out of bed and got thrown into the wall for fun" I dont think so.

When dealing with ghosts you have to have an open mind.
I never used to beleive, but ever since that thing with my uncle I have.
This is just my opinion, im not trying to start a flame.
But dont dis my beliefs.

I agree. Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone had this book on their nightstand instead of the Bible/Koran/other assorted crap.

Perhaps a better way of stating this question would be:

How come current science cannoy explain the existence of ghost. Perhaps after a couple more centuries, we might actually have a grand unified theory that explains how everything works and is interconnected. Until then, there will always be questions.

To the people who claim that it doesn exist because science cannot currently replicate its existence- do you really believe that we have reached the peak of scientific development as to be able to explain everything?

She didnt die from the stabbing. If you read it, it said she fell to her death.
