“Ghosts, spirits, apparitions, spooks, specters, haunts . . . whatever you call them, ghosts have provided us with fascinating study material and conversation topics for centuries – However, they’ve also given people the opportunity to take part in raging debates over the reality of the spirits’ existence,” writes Keene. “Interestingly, the two sides are split about equally, with nearly half of people polled saying they do believe in ghosts, and the other half claiming that strange happenings can always be explained with the help of science – Whether you’re a believer or not, the debate and the subjects themselves are certainly intriguing.”


According to Keene, “People usually don’t “find” ghosts; believers in the supernatural claim that most sprits are intelligent beings who act of their own accord. If a ghost wants to be seen, heard, felt, or otherwise studied, it will make itself known; however, if a spirit has no interest in interacting with living people, it simply will not.”
