The science and non science of Ghost

Ghost are everywhere but nowhere. All around the world people belive that Ghost are real. According to 2019 Ipsos/YouGov
poll 45% people in USA says that ghosts definetly exist.
The idea that the dead remain with us as a form of spirit appears in countless stories from Bible to Macbeth. Belief in ghost is
part of a larger web of paranormal beliefs.
many people around the world claims to talk with spirits. There are many ways in which people have tried to talk with the spirits
in old times the would do seances and in present time with the development in technology people use different gadgets like
Music box, Ovulus, Rempod, Spirit box they use all these gadgets to detect any paranormal object(spirit) around them.
During late 1800 organisations were formed to investigate about the presence of ghosts around the world. One of those was The
society of Psychical research was established. Eleanor Sidgwick was an investigator (and later president) of that group, and
could be considered the world’s first female ghostbuster. Meanwhile across the pond during the late 1800s, many American
psychics claimed to speak to the dead — and were exposed as frauds by skeptical investigators such as Harry Price and Harry
Houdini.
There are many contradictions inherent in ideas about ghosts. For example, are ghosts material or not? Either they can move
through walls and solid objects without disturbing them, or they can slam doors shut and throw objects across a room.
According to logic (not to mention the laws of physics), it’s one or the other. If ghosts are human souls, why do they appear
clothed and with inanimate objects such as hats and dresses — not to mention the many reports of ghost trains, cars, and
carriages? If instead ghosts are the result of unavenged deaths, why are there unsolved murders, since ghosts are said to
communicate with psychic mediums, and should be able to identify their killers for the police. And so on — just about any
claim about ghosts raises logical reasons to doubt it.
Many people around the world think the dead spirits are wandering around or trapped in this world due to some unfinished work
or due to there bad deeds during there life period.We all are aware of the Conjuring movie it is based on real life story many of
the paranormal investigators have been to the conjuring house and according to the videos and proof there is an evil power there
we cannot say that it is all false as all the people who went there to capture all the paranormal happening captured some or other
thing and in one of the latest investigation people claim that there are spirits traped in it by an evil or demon.
In the end, it doesn’t matter what all the scientists, skeptics, and ghost hunters think. If ghosts are real, and are some sort of as-
yet-unknown energy, then their existence will (like all other scientific findings) sooner or later be discovered and verified by
scientists through controlled experiments — not by weekend ghost hunters wandering around abandoned houses late at night
with cameras and flashlights.
Despite mountains of ambiguous photos, sounds, and videos, the evidence for ghosts is no better today than it was a year ago, a
decade ago, or a century ago. There are two possible reasons for the failure of ghost hunters to find good evidence of their
quarry. The first is that ghosts don’t exist, and that reports of ghosts can be explained by psychology, misperceptions, mistakes,
and hoaxes. The second option is that ghosts do exist, but that ghost hunters are simply incompetent and need to bring more
scientific rigor to the search, because what they’ve done so far has clearly failed. Ghost hunting is not really about the evidence
(if it was, the search would have been abandoned long ago). Instead, it’s about having fun with friends, telling spooky stories,
and the enjoyment of pretending they’re searching the edge of the unknown. After all, everyone loves a good ghost story.
