BELIEVING
In Ghosts
The fear of death has always haunted us ever since we became conscious of our species and existence. Life after death is a recurring topic in many aspects of our lives. If we die and become ghosts, that means immortality in a certain way. And being immortal sounds like something supernatural, a scene from a sci-fi movie. Turning into a spirit after death would be similar to uncovering the much-desired fountain of youth. But is there a truth behind this so-called supernatural phenomenon?
Before we move on, let’s say that this article isn’t trying to turn you into a ghost-believer, because that would be pretentious if said out loud. We’re merely trying to point you towards that direction by showing you some unexplained real-life examples.
Let’s dig in.
Near-death experiences
Although the scientific explanation exists, these are just short circuits in your brain playing tricks with you (or at least with what’s left of you). Not explained are some other bizarre things going on here. Namely, in a staggering number of cases, people who had near-death experiences on an operating table were able to detach themselves from their body and look around. After they had woken up, they were able to recount every detail about the people in the waiting room, what they were doing, etc. They even knew what the doctors had been talking about while performing the surgery. Since the brain is clinically dead at that point, it is odd that it can memorize things so well and even more curious – that it can travel around. That’s more than just brain playing tricks with you.

Haunted places
Although this one seems worn out, instances of weird things happening in houses are real, with numerous eye-witnesses of poltergeists and objects moving. Admittedly, not all of the people are crazy? This phenomenon occurs independently all across the globe, so it’s not something one could attribute to a Hollywood trend. |

It’s usual to connect these sightings to some gruesome deaths and troubled souls who have been molested or mistreated during life. For example, some say former slaves inhabit the Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston.
Still more to learn
Scientific evidence for ghosts is unclear. In order not to spread panic, scientists and medical experts tend to disprove anything ‘supernatural’. But it’s only recently that we’ve started studying these phenomena. There’s a lot more to learn, and who knows what we’ll uncover.
