Ghosts...

Can ghosts be photographed? I know, this is something way off track from technology, but I believe that's what the Lounge it for... :-> So, how many of you believe in ghosts? I personally don't believe that they can be captured on cameras. But does anyone have a different opinion? :) Well, I just had a long discussion with a friend regarding Ghosts and he says that Ghosts are globs of Electromagnetic energy and electromagnetic energy cannot be captured on tape. Do you all agree? :doh: --- With best regards, A Manchester United Fan The Genius of a true fool is that he can mess up a foolproof plan!
Well, that depends... Camera capture visible light (electromagnetic emission in a certain range of frequency). Now the question is, if the ghost exist, do they: -1. reflect light, like normal matter? -2. emit their own light (electronic emission)? -3. or de we see them with some 'not very much used or known about but not electromagnetic based' kind of 6th sense? In case 1. & 2. they could be shot. In case 3. they can't..... Personally I don't believe in ghost, after life and blah blah blah. But I will be pleased to be wrong :laugh:

I don't believe in ghosts....however, this happened to some friends of mine who I trust 100%: They moved into a new house in a village, and they found that there was one room they could never feel warm in regardless of temperature. One night, the wife woke up and saw a woman standing at the end of her bed. She woke her husband, who saw her too, then she disappeared. The following day in the pub, the husband asked the landlord if their house was haunted, and the landlord said that he hadn't wanted to say anything about it before they saw anything, then took him out to a back room in the pub where there was an old painting....of the woman they had seen the previous night!
Mhh... :confused:

I am starting to think that when someone doesn't rest in peace, something of him/her will remain in this world. This something could be what we called ghost.

As a scientist I can't accept that there is some secondary, ethereal part of someone which can hang around after they've died, but I don't have an explanation for this sighting, especially as it came from someone who was highly trained to observe things accurately.

This was sent to me a few years ago, and I was absolutely convinced that it is indeed possible to produce ghost pictures... It takes a minute or so to see it, so don't give up. This is pretty neat.
Apparently the owners of this house had been seeing images and hearing voices for quite a while. They did some research and found that a lady once lived in the house who lost her husband during the civil war. Legend says that she used to sit at the table and look across the fields in anticipation of her loved one returning home. He never came. So, they say she still waits. They caught this photo of what they claim to be her.
This one was wild and a little spooky once you find the ghost in the picture. It took me a few seconds to find it, but when you do it just stands out. Like one of those optical illusions. To save you some time, concentrate around the table. Best not to focus too much on one spot. Look around the table and toward the window. Click on the link below for the picture. Best to enlarge.
I don't see dead pixels anymore... Yes, even I am blogging now!

Having twice lived in a place with a resident poltergeist (the first a maisonette in Maidenhead, the second a house in Basingstoke), I can certainly vouch for the fact that there are phenomena beyond our current understanding. Neither experience was in any way pleasant. I've seen things levitate and be thrown (including a washing machine, and a christmas tree!), heard our loft being trashed while there was no-one in the house (I'd tidied it the day before, but afterwards it was a paint-covered wreck) and generally felt something nasty around the place. In both cases it took at least one exorcism to get rid of the thing. Needless to say, it's not an experience I'd care to repeat! The one amusing thing about the whole experience was having to go to my team leader and ask for time off. When I told him why, he went white and then said "You're not joking, are you?"...

Anna, this is... < I'm speechless ... And puzzled ... and curious ... > That makes you think indeed! Anyway I wonder why the dead would be able to do more than the living... (like throwing a washing machine, it's heavy!) Maybe there is something mysterious, but different? (I mean: not a ghost...)

I guess you have to start in what is "a ghost" and move from there. In my youth I was involved in a paranormal search team. Since none, so far, have found the definitive proof that ghosts exist, no one can say for sure. It is still referred to as paranormal because it may still be a natural energy occurance that we just don't understand yet. If "a ghost" is a physical object with active energy properties then the answer is "yes". In some cases "a ghost" is really just high incidence of electromagnetic radiation (natural or manmade) that affects the brain causing the nature of the human brain to see "shapes". In this latter case, it exists only in your "brain" so cannot be photographed. When you start looking at "paranormal" search groups the most common photograph is "orbs". Some groups automatically assume "orbs" are ghosts. There is a growing group of investigators that believe that orbs are a natural background energy that we simply don't understand, in some cases natural "random" occurances from leaking background radiation and maybe only a few are really affected by "ghosts". Most of the photographic evidence of paranormal is orb activity, and ironically because of that is heading to the point of crossing from paranormal to normal. But has moved away from the idea of hauntings in the process. A good group now will discount most orb activity as long as it shows random movement, it's just "charged" air. Until the holy grail of photographic evidence is found, no one will ever know. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Since light is electromagnetic energy, I'd have to disagree.

Light is an electromagnetic field. I think camera's were invented specifically to capture light ;) cheers, Chris Maunder

The adage "Never underestimate that which you do not understand" seems appropriate here. Yes, it was heavy, but fortunately it was under a worktop so couldn't move very far. Nevertheless, it hit the wall with such force and at such an awkward angle that it took me a while to angle it back out. That wasn't the scariest thing though (I heard it, but didn't see it - and yes, it was turned off). The scariest one was actually watching a kitchen cupboard levitate directly behind a priest who was visiting us to try to help get rid of whatever it was. By the time he turned round, it had crashed to the floor. :~

I have my own hypothesis (ghost is an evocative word!), but at the end of the day all we can do is make informed guesses at the moment.

I voted this a one, not because I don't think it has some humor to it, but because as some have mentioned on CP... A few CPians could have heart problems and this could damn near give them a stroke. Don't take it wrong, my vote is only meant to discourage people from following the link that fit into this scenario. Jeremy Falcon

I agree. I used to go ghost hunting with friends back in my (younger) youth. While I didn't see things levitate, I did have some unexaplainble stuff happen. I will have to admit. I'm still a bit skeptic about the levitation stuff because I've never seen it - just my nature. But, I'm the type of person that would love to see it. So ya know, if it happens, take a picture. :laugh:

Stuff like this does make me wonder, if it's not at least partially in our own heads. I'm not overly religious, but to me this suggest a somewhat religious slant by saying that God comes into play with removing it. All I do know, is that there's so much we don't know. Jeremy Falcon
