ghosts
Ghosts are a significant part of a religion. It was mentioned and written in many parts of religious scriptures. The life after death was acknowledged in many of these scriptures. Nevertheless, it probably holds the logic behind paranormal activities. We acknowledge our existence because we believe we can see, touch, and feel ourselves. We tie in the existence of God as an extension of ours, without God we would not be here. As the Heaven and hell exist so we can separate the good from the bad.Ever imagine what it would feel if one of our darkest fears comes true. There are stories that are told around the world to scare us. It is up to each and every person who will hear it, if they would believe it or not. A story that is told throughout the years with different variations depending on the teller.I came around a topic in a magazine paranormal activities that probably means ghosts. I was curious,the question is do i believe in ghosts?

Ghosts, a hypothetical subject widely opened to the inquiry of us humans. In reference to Wikipedia, the definition of ghosts is “a ghost is the soul or spirit of a deceased person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living.” In my opinion, ghosts do exist. Of course they do. The existence of ghosts can be proved by unexplainable paranormal activities. Nevertheless, they have a strong connection with religions, explaining the whole logic and theory on the occurring of paranormal activities.

Based on the statistics on Wikipedia, ten of thousands of people from all nations around the world and all periods in human history reported encountering paranormal activities under more or less similar circumstances. Scientists who have witnessed and seen ghosts are believers, but universal belief is based on evidence, and even with photographic, video and audio evidence, many people aren't yet willing to universally accept that ghosts exists. As one who has seen them, I of course have no doubt, and

    The content of the ghost story can be rationally trusted to have happened to a point, while considering possible causes for some of the events. Since the story was told from one person’s memory of the event it brings up the question of what may have been forgotten or misremembered. One thing to consider is the primary source and whether it can be trusted. The primary source was a well-educated individual with a background in teaching, which adds credibility to his words. We also have to consider the background given during the story, for one thing he was a high school student at the time. That adds the factor of time to the equation, it had been years since it happened when the story was recalled. Another factor is the primary source stated, him and friends were not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but excitement and fear.…

    To clarify what's out there to be investigated, Southall begins the handbook in earnest by defining the terms, since ghosts, spirits and poltergeists are not interchangeable and represent quite different phenomena.Ghosts and apparitions are a kind a recording on the environment - a residual energy that can come from a person, animal or even an inanimate object. We can experience these lingering energies by sight, sound, smell and touch. Spirits are what people most often think of as "ghosts." A spirit is the "actual sentient presence, or soul, of an individual or individuals who have remained in the material world after his or her physical body has died." Southall continues by describing different types of spirits and the reasons they may have stayed behind.…

    Have you ever wondered if that shadow just escaping your peripheral sight is part of the paranormal or is it in fact just your imagination? Do ghosts really exist in the reality, or are they a combination of environmental factors and the human mind? 'Ghosts' are one of the most controversial concepts in history as it the paranormal, something that is way beyond the human understanding and in a different dimension. There many different opinions regarding ghosts, specifically the religious and the scientific perceptions. In a religious sense, they are seen as a spirit of a once living person or a demon or evil angels from hell that can take form of different beings. The scientific approach, and the more sensible of the two judgements, suggests that ghosts are merely created in the human brain due to the influence of the chemicals in the particular environment or due to mental disorders.…

    Based on our reading of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” people of 1790 may have been more superstitious or more likely to believe in ghosts than people today because the people of 1790 had no scientific explanations to what was going on around them. So, they made up these ideas to give them an answer or explanation. Today we have technology and a lot of scientific research, so we can tell if something is fake or not real when these ideas come into our heads. In 1790, they also didn’t know that some of the noises they hear may be a trees or bushes in the wind. They lived in small towns and told stories to make up…

    Some of this evidence includes paranormal phenomena, such as out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, ghost sightings, mediums communicating with the dead, and memories of past lives. For example, although there are no reasonable grounds to doubt that people sometimes have out-of-body experiences and near-death experiences, these experiences are plausibly explained in physiological and psychological terms. Williams believes that memories of past lives may be false memories, and ghost sightings misinterpretations of ambiguous stimuli. These possibilities do not in themselves prove that supernatural explanations are not called for. Nonetheless, wherever there is a plausible alternative explanation for a piece of evidence, we must at least concede that that evidence cannot justify a strong belief in a supernatural explanation.…

    The Bingham Light

    My mom and stepdad took my brother and I and some other family members down to the woods one night, as we all wanted to see the infamous Bingham light. It seemed like we walked forever in the woods until we came upon a clearing in the middle of the woods. It was only about a mile though, where we had to stand and shout out John Bingham’s name until the light appeared. As we were shouting out his name, low and behold a light in the distance appeared. It was far off but you could continuously see it moving closer and closer to us. The temperature changed. It didn’t get hotter but cooler. It was very scary to be in the middle of the woods to start off with, then to see this light coming toward us even after we stopped calling his name was terrifying. We didn’t stand around for it to get to close to us. We all started running as fast as we could out of those woods. There was loud screaming coming from all of us. I remember crying and hanging on to my mom for dear life. When we got out of the woods we looked back and the light was gone. We then began to laugh. No one can say if there really is a ghost out there in those woods or if we let our imagination get the best of us. It could even be someone else playing…

This course, which is a combined lecture/discussion class, will also focus on the role ethnicity, race and gender have played in this history of American labor.…
