We each have to arrive at conclusions about life on our own. Many intelligent people are misinformed about religion but that is there business.

I am not interested in other peoples opinions on the subject. Having a scientific mind that is open to the unknown is what drives the search for knowledge, not repeating mantras espoused by others.
But as they say....each to there own.
Considering how many people have died I would say there would be far far more ghosts than people living.
I wonder how you qualify to be a ghost?
At our old address we heard sounds that couldn't be explained. My wife and the kids saw figures in the hallway. Even a friend visiting saw two people in the hallway.
The house was built on the site of an old farm that had been there for centuries. It was owned among others by the Feredays who were the biggest employers in the black country.
Later Sir Alfred Hickman owned it. The track to the farmhouse is still there, along with three huge Sycamores that were planted as a shelter belt, and part of the farmyard wall. I often imagined the scene over a century earlier, the bustle of the farmyard, cow's and sheep being driven up from Wolverhampton market on Wednesdays, and Sir Alfred being driven up the track in his horse and trap.
Things started happening as soon as we moved in. I have no explanation other than I think it could be a time lapse, the things we saw and heard were of people going about their business, but years ago.
Maybe everything we do is recorded like a video and in the future we will find a way to play it back?
I would love to know who Jack the Ripper was and where the Battle of Tettenhall was actually fought.
