Journal # 14

I used to be a firm believer in ghosts. Now I have changed my tune. Since my brother passed away a couple of years ago I've had a lot of time to think about this. I've come to the conclusion that there isn't a shred of scientific evidence that says "Yup, we were right all along! Ghosts are real! We've got the data to back it up" There all sorts of speculative things that have been done with psychics in old scary castles; there is usually a film crew on hand to record it for TV. THEN there are the funny gadgets and gizmos they carry around that take electromagnetic readings. . . it's all just too much work to try to prove/disprove something that stemmed from one person's imagination. So no. . . I do not believe there are ghosts on planet Earth. With ghosts there is an explanation. . . they are merely impressions that humans who are still alive receive from the imprint that the dead have left on planet Earth. Everything humans physically touch has our fingerprint on it. . . everywhere we go leaves some of our "energy”; so it's only natural that some of that energy would stick around after death. I don't believe, however, that some Joe Schmoe died a horrible death and decided to forever haunt the bridge he fell off. . . that's just something we see in a really bad B horror movie. - Elizabeth Watsoner on the on-line blog “Pondering the existence of ghosts” April 30, 2010
