I've been a long time fan/watcher of shows like Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Haunted Collector, Haunted Highway, etc. and while often these shows are boring and overly dramatic, occasionally they find some compelling evidence of something that seems genuinely paranormal.
Here's the thing. The more evidence they find, the more convinced I am that ghosts are not dead people at all.
Hear me out. There are a number of things that come into question...
1. There is no true scientific evidence we have a "soul". I personally believe most of if not all of our personality comes from a combination of our brains and the experiences of our lives. If who we are was defined spiritually, our personalities could not be altered chemically by drugs, or by disease or injury such as Alzheimer's or brain damage.
2. Why do people only see ghosts from the relatively recent past? Most ghost witnesses report seeing recently deceased relatives or people from within the last few hundred years, usually centered around major historical events or tragedies, such as Civil War ghosts, or WWII ghosts. You never hear of anyone seeing the ghost of a caveman for instance.
3. Why do ghosts always appear clothed? When a person dies, their clothes do not. Shouldn't all ghosts appear naked? The same question applies to hearing phantom music. A piano, radio, etc cannot die, so it is absolutely impossible to hear "ghostly" music from beyond the grave. Even if the spirit of a person is present, they would have no way of producing said music. This is where my theory comes into play.
I have come to the conclusion that when people see or hear a "ghost" they are not encountering a dead person, but a living person in another time. If you follow time theory, most scientists believe time is linear, meaning it follows a straight line. Since time itself is an abstract concept, I believe it is entirely possible that we exist simultaneously along the timeline in our own present, past and future. This would explain deja vu. You experience the feeling of deja vu when your present self catches up to a point in time where your future self has already done something, and for a split second, you "remember" something you haven't experienced yet, because you have experienced it and are "sharing" the memory with your future self.
This theory explains why some ghosts appear to be going on about their daily routines over and over, completely oblivious to the observer. You are in essence seeing a specific moment in time replay itself over and over like a recording. Since it has been proven that magnetic fields affect not only spacetime, but the human brain as well, intense magnetic fields could make people more susceptible to these intersections.
I also believe when a person encounters an intelligent haunting, the person in each time period sees the other as a "ghost". I think people from the present see people from the past as they were, while apparitions from the future appear as the commonly seen shadow people, because future people/events are not truly clear since they can still be affected by actions in the present.
Your thoughts?
