I have seen 3 ghosts in my life so far.
- A young girl
- An old woman
- A dog
All of them were unexpected but couldnt possibly be real.
I have beleived in ghosts since I was young and have always been interested in the subject.
Does anyone have any theories/explanations about how people encounter ghosts? I beleive that there are several million alternate existences, each in different time periods. When a ghost is seen it is the barriers of the two realitys colliding. This would explain why moe often than not, ghosts are seen doing everyday things, like sitting or walking somewhere.
I also beleive death envolves switching realitys but thats beside the point.
What do you think on the subject?
More to the point, if we all live in one reality, then why is it like it is ? Why, in our reality, did Hitler's forces be defeated ? Why did the Cuban Missile Crisis not become WW3 ? Why did 9/11 happen ? A lot of major events in history rested on a hell of a load of coincidence, luck, and downright near impossibility.
I'm not so sure about the idea ghosts are from these alternate realities because in many cases people know, or have relation to them, or the style and appearance is too dated, but I certainly believe they exist. Again, there is science behind them, it's just theory we cannot yet understand or comprehend. Magic becomes science eventually. Obviously not every person who dies is seen as a ghost, so why do we see the ones we do ? Is it psychic, environmental, shifted reality, time leaks ? Who knows, but if it can ever be proven - which it will be one day - then it'll have massive repercussions.
Think about it. If ghosts are proven to exist, then there is life, of a sort, after death, which suddenly makes religion, and ideas of god, somehow more believable.

So basically you agree with my theory about alternate realities?
Is it a popular theory because I figured it all out myself, I didnt see it anywhere else it has just always been what I have thought.
I've never definitely seen a ghost before, but there have been two times when I've felt something I've seen or that has happened has been more than normal.

That sounds exactly like one of those stories from the Teenage horror collection, I think it was called "The Hitch Hiker"
For one thing I didn't find those stories at all scary, then I started reading Stephen King's work; now I haven't stopped reading his books.
A mate of mine was killed a while back and a few days later i thought i saw them in the street. When I looked up again they were gone.
My dad once stopped to pick up a hitch hiker and when he went to stop the hitch hiker had gone a couple of days later he found out a hitch hiker had been killedv there years ago.
I dont usually talk about this kinda stuff so you are lucky this time
Personally I don't believe in them.
