WHAT IS A GHOST ? In traditional belief and fiction, a ghost
(sometimes known as a spectre (British English) or specter
(American English), phantom, apparition or spook) is the soul or
spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear, in visible form
or other manifestation, to the living. Branch of science which
deals with the study of spiritual or ghostly phenomenan is called
METAPHYSICS
TYPES OF GHOSTS Poltergeists are troublesome spirits or ghosts
which cause disorder by moving inanimate objects, producing noises
such as knocking, pounding, or banging, and launching physical
attacks on human beings. Tuyul or toyol is a spirit in the
mythology of South-East Asia. A tuyul is a small child spirit
invoked by a shaman or witch doctor from a dead human foetus. A
person who practices black magic can become rich using a tuyul to
steal things from other people, but in exchange, the tuyul must
breastfeed from a female family member, sucking blood instead of
milk.
Psychic mediums are persons who claim to be able communicate
with the spirits of dead people. There are people who actually
believe that they have powers to perceive paranormal phenomena, but
none have been able to demonstrate such powers when tested under
controlled laboratory conditions. The Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit is
the third person of the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.. As one of the three persons of the Trinity, the Holy Ghost
(Holy Spirit) is understood to be equal with God the Father
(Jehovah), and God the Son (Jesus Christ). Christian art often
depicts the Holy Spirit as a dove.
FEELINGS WHEN GHOSTS ARE AROUND A chill in the air. Low light
conditions. Smokey smell. Weird noises e.g. thumping and whistling.
Things getting chucked at you from no-where. Paranormal visuals
like shadows, smoke etc.. Sensation of someone being around. . . .

PLACES WHERE GHOSTS ARE FOUND Usually ghosts are found where
they die, such as HAUNTED HOUSES, ASYLUMS , PRISONS . . Sometimes
people claim that they encountered ghost in FORESTS, FORTS, PLACES
which are NOT being USED for a LONG TIME . GRAVEYARDS, on TREES,
MINES, HOSPITALS . . . . LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST SOMETIMES THEY
POSSESS HUMAN BODY . . . . .
HAUNTED PLACES IN INDIA Bhangarh was built in 1573 by Raja
Bhagwant Das as the residence for his second son Madhoo Singh. The
structure is said to have been abandoned in 1783 amidst a severe
drought. One story involves an arrogant king and an offended sadhu,
while the other is a tale of obsession involving a tantrik and a
beautiful princess. Whichever version visitors choose to believe,
many agree that the no entry after dark sign put up by the
Archaeological Survey of India is justified by the unsettling
presence of an otherworldly force, bizarre sounds and accompanying
anxiety. Location: Bhangarh is 80 km northeast of Jaipur. BHANGARH,
ALWAR, RAJASTHAN
ABANDONED ARMY CANTONMENT, MEERUT, UTTAR PRADESH The Meerut
Army Cantonment was the site of the Mangal Pandey uprising in 1857.
The British cracked down on Indian revolutionaries and crushed
rebellion. Over 150 soldiers were killed here. This is where
history leaves off and legend begins. It is believed that the
spirits of the soldiers who died here still wander the abandoned
cantonment, although their activities are less regimented nowadays.
Visitors have reported seeing headless apparitions, spooky shadows,
hearing mysterious sounds of dripping water and sensing a
supernatural presence. Location: Meerut is 70 km northeast of
Delhi. JAMALI KAMALI, MEHRAULI, NEW DELHI THE SAVOY, MUSSOORIE,

NOW HAVE A LOOK ACROSS THE WORLD Castle of Good Hope Cape Town,
South Africa The Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, South Africa was
built in the 17th century by the Dutch East India Company. Its the
countrys oldest colonial building, originally serving as a
replenishment station for ships passing the treacherous waters of
the Cape. The first reported paranormal occurrence was when the
apparition of a tall gentleman was seen in 1915 on one of the
castles ramparts. The man wasnt seen again until 1947, when he was
seen on a regular basis over a two week period. He would be seen
jumping off the side of one of the castle walls, and walking
between the bastions Leerdam and Oranje. One of the most popular
stories associated with the Castle is of the former governor Pieter
Gysbert van Noodt. He died on 23 April 1728, the same day he had
sentenced to death seven soldiers who were caught attempting to
desert the military. Its believed one of the soldiers placed a
curse on him and demanded he came to watch the execution, which he
didnt. Later that day, Van Noodt was found dead slouched over his
desk with a look of terror on his face. Another famous haunting is
of the Lady in Grey. She has been witnessed running through the
castle holding her face and crying hysterically. However, since a
womans body was found during recent excavations her ghost hasnt
been reported.

HEARD OF THIS ??? The Curse of Tutankhamun When Lord Carnarvon
died on 5 April 1923, seven weeks after the official opening of
pharaoh Tutankhamun's burial chamber, rumours were rife about a
curse. The lights of Cairo were said to have gone out at the moment
of his death, while back at Carnarvon's English estate his dog,
Susie, was supposed to have howled and died at the same time. One
newspaper even printed a curse supposed to have been written at the
entrance of the tomb, the translation being: "They who enter this
sacred tomb shall swift be visited by wings of death." One
inscription, found at the entrance of the tomb, did say: "It is I
who hinder the sand from choking the secret chamber. I am for the
protection of the deceased." According to one list, of the 26
individuals present at the official opening of the tomb, six had
died within a decade. The deaths continued apparently for another
10 years with 20 other people involved in the opening of the tomb
collapsing and dying from heart attacks or other illnesses,
including madness. Apparently there have been over more than 20
deaths linked to King Tutankhamun! This number is more than just a
coincidence. A curse perhaps?
NOW RELATING SCIENCE Even if we have not spotted a ghost
ourselves or felt the presence of one, we would surely know people
who claim to have experienced a ghostly encounter. People usually
attribute their paranormal experiences to their imagination. What
is the law of thermodynamics? A careful study of it reveals the
fact that science has already proved that ghosts do exist.
According to this law "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed;
it can only change form. Let us now analyze this law carefully.
Energy never dies, according to this important law; instead, energy
shifts from one form to the other. Accordingly, the energy that we
are is not destroyed by death; it just changes form. Skeptics would
say that our bodies would be decomposed by the action of the
microorganisms, and this is how human energy would change form.
But, what about the intelligence that gives us an identity? Just
consider the amazing nature of our minds and bodies. Would all this
just end up as being fodder for the microbes? Does this sound like
a fair exchange? The more one questions, the more one feels that
there is more to life than what meets the scientific eye.
Another one In late June 2010, such scientific research was
published in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research. Dr.
Barrie Colvin, who does not believe in life after death, has been
studying ghostly knocks and noises emanating from various cases of
poltergeist-type haunting for five long years. His findings are set
to convince a few skeptics that some paranormal activity,
specifically odd noises created by ghosts, is real. Using advanced
scientific equipment to analyze sound waves believed to be made by
ghosts during haunting, Dr. Colvin has found that these sounds are
strikingly different wave forms when compared to known noises
created by people, animals, or anything else found within our
world. The paranormal acoustic wave forms have no conventional
explanation by Dr. Colvin or his fellow scientists. Being skeptics,
the results of the experiments have left them dumbfounded. In
short, these findings were not expected. Colvin's publication about

WE CANT NEGLECT THESE FACTS TOO. . . Borley Rectory(An Amazing
Story) Borley Rectory was a Victorian mansion that gained fame as
"the most haunted house in England". Built in 1862 to house the
rector of the parish of Borley, Essex and his family, it was badly
damaged by fire in 1939 and demolished in 1944. Harry Price, a
paranormal researcher, to make his first visit to the house that
would ultimately make him famous. He arrived on 12 June and
immediately objective "phenomena" of a new kind appeared, such as
the throwing of stones, a vase and other objects. "Spirit messages"
were tapped out from the frame of a mirror. As soon as Harry Price
left, these ceased. After Price's death in 1948 Eric Dingwall,
Kathleen M. Goldney, and Trevor H. Hall, three members of the
Society for Psychical Research (SPR) investigated his claims about
Borley. The "Borley Report", as the SPR study has become known,
stated that many of the phenomena were either faked or due to
natural causes such as rats and the strange acoustics attributed to
the odd shape of the house. Later the owner admitted that she had
seen no apparitions and that the alleged ghostly noises were caused
by the wind, friends she invited to the house and in other cases by
herself playing practical jokes on her husband.
Lets Enjoy These facts About Ghosts Ghosts just happen to be
nocturnal, preferring night-time to do their thing. So when you die
you suddenly become adverse to daylight right? Like the popular
bug-eyed Aliens, modern ghosts are all stereotypical, with the same
looks and characteristics. Purportedly ghosts have the magical
capabilities to travel through walls, levitate etc. Powers they
didnt have when they were alive. They move objects all the time but
never get behind the wheels of a car and drive, type a letter on a
computer or light-up a Bensons and Hedges. When it comes to
interacting with humans all ghosts want to do is scare the shit out
of the living in the dead of night or flash their tits at us in
photos. Aimless activity, no-one has been able to detect with any
surety. Seeing that potentially we living-humans share the planet
with 60 billion spirits, comprising all of humanities dead where do
these hordes of living-dead spend their time? I mean where do they
live? Caves? The bottom of the ocean? The stratosphere? Six to a
house? Last but not least there is not a shred of evidence . . . .

Why do we encounter ghosts??? Ions Unfortunately, real ghost
hunters dont carry proton packs. However, they do use tools such as
the ion counter. The ion counter, well, counts ions. An ion is an
atom with an uneven amount of protons and electrons. Ghost hunters
go crazy over ions because they supposedly show a paranormal
presence. Some say a spirits presence interferes with the normal
ion count in the atmosphere while others say ghosts draw upon ionic
energy when they want to appear and scare people to death. Ions are
caused by all kinds of natural phenomena like weather, solar
radiation, and radon gas. So it basically comes down to how someone
interprets the evidence. Scientists see ions and think, Natural.
Ghost hunters see ions and think, Paranormal! Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas, which
makes it really hard to detect. Its dangerous because our red blood
cells absorb CO much easier than they do oxygen, and this oxygen
deprivation leads to symptoms such as weakness, nausea, confusion,
and eventually death.
For example, in 2005, a woman called the authorities after
seeing a spirit in her bathroom. It turned out the paranormal
activity was due to her leaky water heater which was filling the
house with CO. Stay away from carbon monoxide, because one way or
another, itll have you seeing ghosts. Camera Issues Ghost hunters
have a love-hate relationship with orbs. These glowing balls of
light are supposedly the spirits of people whove passed away, but
havent quite passed on. Invisible to the eye, orbs can only be seen
in photographs, and thats where things get tricky. Skeptic says
when a dust speck or bug is too close to the camera, it will show
up in the photo as a blurry, out-of-focus circle. And thanks to the
camera flash, the orb will appear to be glowing and is thus
mistaken for a ghost. Perfectly reasonable mistake.
Electric Stimulation Of The Brain When Swiss scientists
electrically stimulated an epileptic patients brain,things got
really spooky. The patient reported a shadow person sitting behind
her, copying her every move. When she bent forward and grabbed her
knees, it reached around her body and held her. The doctors then
told her to read a card, but the shadow person tried to take it out
of her hand. What happened was the scientists had stimulated the
left temporoparietal junction, the part of the brain that defines
the idea of self. By interfering with the area that helps us tell
the difference between ourselves and others, the doctors screwed up
the brains ability to understand its own body, thus leading to the
creation of a copycat shadow person. Researchers are hoping this is
the key to understanding why so many people, both schizophrenic and
healthy, encounter shadow beings and other creatures like
ghosts.
Bipolar disorder Bipolar disorder (also known as bipolar
affective disorder, manic- depressive disorder, or manic
depression) is a mental illness. Individuals with bipolar disorder
experience episodes of an elevated or agitated mood known as mania,
alternating with episodes of depression. There are widespread
problems with social stigma, stereotypes, and prejudice against
individuals with bipolar disorder. A person suffering from bipolar
disorder starts hallucinating. The patients brain starts creating a
virtual environment as real world, the extent of its effects
progresses with time. For example: A bipolar positive person can
interact, see and feel the presence of a person about whom he has
heard a lot or thought a lot. The patient can even behave like the
same.
The Final Conclusion The story of ghost is that of an alien,
those who have experienced any encounter with them, they believe
and those who havent, they dont believe. There are a lots of theory
supporting there existence but none can satisfy every one. Every
theory has some limitations where is fails to prove its worth. We
cant even say they dont exist because there are many events and
evidences which can make you believe that they are wandering around
you. ITS YOUR TIME TO DECIDE. ARE YOU SCARED OF GHOST OR
NOT??????
