    Interesting Article i thought id share :)

    Ghosts, spirits, apparitions, spooks, specters, haunts . . . whatever you call them, ghosts have provided us with fascinating study material and conversation topics for centuries. However, they've also given people the opportunity to take part in raging debates over the reality of the spirits' existence. Interestingly, the two sides are split about equally, with nearly half of people polled saying they do believe in ghosts, and the other half claiming that strange happenings can always be explained with the help of science. Whether you're a believer or not, the debate and the subjects themselves are certainly intriguing. Let's take a closer look at ghosts and the ways in which they are explained, or in some cases, rationalized.

    What are ghosts? To those who believe in them, ghosts are most often thought of as the spirits of a deceased people who, for whatever reason, have not been able to "move on," or leave this world. One of the most popular explanations for why a person's spirit remains is that it has unfinished business that it feels must be resolved before it can move on. For instance, if a person was murdered and the killer was never discovered, the murdered person's spirit may feel it needs to stay on to see that justice is served. Other entities that are also thought of as ghosts include demons or other spirits, including those of animals. Ghost sightings, spiritual communication, and other supernatural activities have been reported and recorded for centuries. Hauntings will often occur in places where people have died or where their bodies rest or in places that were significant to a spirit during its lifetime.
