Have you ever seen a ghost?

I'll answer for everybody on the planet.


No.

Nobody sees a ghost - they delude themselves into thinking they saw something because it makes for an interesting story.

Compare 'I stayed in a house one night'....to 'I could barely sleep after seeing a 4 year old child (she told me she was 4!) flying around the house throwing tampons at the lights causing them to flicker'.

I don't like haunted houses I'm afraid...

A ghost walks through a bar one day...

My wife is very spiritual. She's dead.

Infrasound: possible explanation for ghost sightings/ hallucinations?



More on the 'haunted lab' here, with an audio clip featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Vic Tandy of the School of International Studies and Law at Coventry University put together a paper back in 1998 called The Ghost in the Machine. In it, he describes the science behind a phenomenon concerning the human eye, which stands to be the root cause of a portion of "ghost sightings." Apparently 18hz-19hz sound waves can cause a resonant vibration in the eye, inducing artifacts misinterpreted as supernatural. These frequencies are referred to as infrasound because they are below the hearing range of humans.

Haven't seen one, although my mother told me differently, but the older I got and more I thought about it, I'm now convinced she said it just to scare the **** out of me.

Anyways, I have heard one.

When I was about 11 or 12 ish a new boy moved into our local area, his family had bought the old Mill house which had been rebuilt and split into two houses after it had burnt down years beforeI was born.

So one day me and my two mates where happily playing down stairs in his empty house during the middle of the day while his mum was next door in his nans when all of a sudden we heard loud foot steps running across his landing and threw his parents bed room with several dull thuds in between.

It scared the crap out of us but we all went up stairs to investigate, when we got up there we found nobody only several fancy dinner plates which were hanging on the wall where now all over the floor. So basically we turned white and high tailed it next door to his mum.

I 100% certain we were alone in the house and I still get chills when I think about it. Me and my mate who was there were only talking about it the other week in the pub when we meet the new owner who we questioned after a few pints if anything weird ever happened since he's been there. We were kinda disappointed when he said no.
