[QUOTE="Wrench, post: 367577, member: 44536"] Here's my problem with ghosts ..... They are if I'm not mistaken the spirts of those who have gone before 🤷 and lots of cultures and people around the world believe them to be true.....and lots is the key word here because lots is not all and if these spirts of the dead came back then every culture would have some knowledge of them and recorded history. There have been many cases if you look hard enough of tribes and cultures who have no knowledge or concept of ghosts whatsoever but they clearly must have had dead people and that is my problem, if these things actually existed then every single culture in human history and even premodern human history would have depicted them in cave paintings and the like. Lots do but not all and that is simply not possible. Also by now there would be hard science to back up the ghost theory but science will actually tell you the opposite even after centuries of sightings. The plural of anecdote is anecdotes not evidence. I thoroughly belive there are things we cannot explain (yet) just as we once couldn't explain why the sun rises and falls as it does, but ghosts are a figment of human imagination to explain something we can't really explain. Humans are good at this, we once believed the world was flat because we couldn't explain otherwise, some humans even believe love Island and eastenders are a good use of time and that peanut butter is actually made from peanuts 🤷 but in time we learn it isn't. This is a long running argument for me as my wife believes she's seen ghost, .....she hasn't she is simply wrong, but ssshhh don't tell her I said that. [/QUOTE]
