I haven’t experienced being high in drugs, but I still believe it happens. That’s because there is actual evidence that it can happen.
With all the advances in technology, science etc don’t you find it strange that there isn’t a single shred of scientific evidence that ghosts exist? Nothing documented other than fanciful stories, all based around the same themes, which are based entirely on literature from the past. It’s the same with alien sightings. How coincidental that they all look like the ones drawn for movies half a century ago?
Think about it logically. If ghosts were real and you could see them, what’s the chances you’ve only seen a handful and many people have never seen even one? There have been 117 billion people who have lived on earth. Even if only half a percent of people become ghosts, that’s 585 million ghosts hanging around over time. Why do most of them come from a very specific time period? Has anyone ever seen a ghost of a Neanderthal? The beaches of Normandy should be swarming with ghosts, Ground Zero would be very crowded indeed, are there 1,000 ghosts bobbing about in the North Atlantic near Newfoundland?
People like to counter this with “oh but there are so many things that are unexplained” yes, then science investigates them and they become explained. We have the technology that allows us to actually see the moment the earth was created, and yet they haven’t ever been able to even suggest it might be a little bit possible that ghosts could exist.
If people feel comforted that old aunt Aggie is roaming the halls of her bungalow, fabulous, I’m happy for them. But to decide that people who choose not to believe in fairy tales, just don’t have the capacity to believe is very wide of the mark.
