Do You Believe in Ghosts?

Life beyond death

If you believe in ghosts, you're certainly not alone. Millions of people believe that traces of a human being remain after death, and they have done so almost as long as people have been roaming the earth.

Life After Death

Nearly every culture on the planet has developed some concept of life after death. The ancient Egyptians believed the spiritual soul carried on life on another plane, and that people could even take their material possessions with them when they died.

Today, that "take it with you" train of thought has mostly been discarded. Still, many people believe that the deeds you do during this life determine which kind of afterlife you'll have. As the theory goes, you'll be rewarded if you've lived a good life. If you've lived a thoughtless or destructive life, your soul could wind up somewhere unpleasant for the rest of eternity.

Some cultures hold an alternative belief that life is a journey toward true enlightenment, and that people live many lives until their soul reaches perfection. This is the basic premise of reincarnation.

What Is a Spirit?

No matter what your personal beliefs are, there still remains the question of exactly what is a soul. Most people who study the paranormal theorize that a soul is pure spiritual energy that is released when the earthly body dies. That energy is then free to move on or remain as it wills. Spirit orbs are just one example many investigators use to explain how souls or "ghosts" manifest themselves after death, but there are many accounts of full-bodied apparitions to add to the rest of the anecdotal evidence.
