I am a bit of an agnostic as I have said before, so I don't necessarily believe in souls and the like. I have had some quite unusual experiences, though, which I then try to rationalize. So my theory is that most "ghosts" seem to be generated by strong emotional responses (murders and the like) and that all thought processes are essentially electrical in nature. Just like when you have a strong electromagnet that magnetizes something, a strong emotional energy burst can potentially "align" the polls in a certain area/object so that the emotional energy remains "mirrored" there. Thus why ghosts are often limited in what they can do and where they can travel to their "home" locations.

As I said, my first inclination is disbelief until proven otherwise, but I've had some bizarre events that are hard to explain otherwise. A whole lot of them. Thus, I stand with trying to find a rational explanation for the experiences. Stuff like a young girl's voice that comes out of nowhere in an apartment, electronics unplugged in a place that is difficult to get back into, items broken that nobody had access to, and strange events like mysterious fires that lead to graveyards in the night. But that's a *much* longer story.

So again, I lean more towards thee "there is something out there commonly referred to as ghosts, but there is an explanation for it. I just don't have that explanation yet."

If we assume for a moment that ghosts are real, what do they look like?
The ghost I thought I saw when I was a kid had black holes for eyes and a demonic looking face. Although a former neighbor from where I grew up who passed away ten years ago, had a brother who saw a ghost at a young age and supposedly it was clad in white clothes.
Again, I would assume that my theory would proscribe either no visual or a visual element similar to what they existed like IRL. Thus a woman killed would leave an electric "imprint" similar to her own form.

I also believe in pepperoni. Unsure about ghosts. I'm kind of like vlady in that I recognize the unexplained, but believe it will eventually be explained.
Not sure I buy his electric impulse theory. Mainly because I've never heard of a "first orgasm after 20 years in the pen" or an "I just won the lottery" ghost.
Actually, there are similar experiences- people with unexplained euphoria and the like. You just don't read much about them because its just not very scary or interesting to most folks.
I'd love to try to connect to some of the studies of electrical activity in the brain of people who are unbalanced- like the different firing of schizophrenics and the like. Unfortunately, m y studies went to social sciences instead of neurology.

kinda the same stance for me as I have with religion - agnostic but would choose fake if I had to pick a side. Ghost stories in general tend to be along the lines of UFO stories, something that one person sees and is unverifiable, and is most likely their imagination running wild over something innocuous
tho Vic's lump sum story almost has me swayed
I'm much here except for personal experiences. First thing i do is try to rationalize it. We actually got security cameras put in at home because of some of the weird shit that went down (this way we could at least confirm that the stuff that went down was not human created). For example, we had an old angel statue in our backyard that was made of concrete. One day we went outside in the morning and both wings and the head were hacked off cleanly. No impact signs anywhere on the angel from being dropped or knocked over or hit with a hammer or anything; it was like they were just somehow all broken clean off or hacked through with a single cut each time that left no other damage anywhere. This was before we got our cameras and one of the things that prompted it- I'd like to think that there wasn't a person who got in our backyard and silently hacked the angel up in the middle of the night with us sleeping right there and without damaging or taking anything else- that's not any more reassuring than saying a ghost did it. lol But there isn't any easy explanation for it.

Maybe when the angel statue was first designed, the head and the wings were put on seperately, thus when someone made it fall those parts naturally came clean off?
Unfortunately no- its pretty clear that it was molded all at one time. There were some larger rocks in the concrete and they were shorn in half- one half in the wing and the other in the body, or one half in the head/neck and the other in the body. I wish I had a picture to show; it's the weirdest thing.

Years of freezing and thawing?
Thought about that as well, except there were no cracks previously on the statue for water to get in, and the fact that all three broke at the same time and cracked the interior rocks embedded in the concrete in half seems weird. I would expect it to break around the rocks, rather than through them.

But you (Ape) are far more an expert on properties of concrete than I am (given your profession), so maybe you can help explain. The rocks inside were actually decent sized: from gravel to about 1/2 to an inch in size.
