Love #4: Ghosts


I grew up in a haunted house. Some of you might be saying, “Show me a peer-reviewed, scientific paper proving the existence of ghosts and then I will believe!” You are obviously new here and there is the exit, disguised as a tenth story window; we don’t idolize pretentious douche bags such as the members of JREF here. Others of you simply might not believe, and for that I cannot fault you. Before you start coming up with “rational” excuses, do you seriously believe most people instantly think everything they see is a ghost before ruling out other possibilities? Now I confess I have no proof of ghosts. Hell, I don’t even know if ghosts are really disembodied spirits, demons, electromagnetic traces of DNA that materialize under certain conditions, etc. but I know what I've seen. That “what” was seen by others. I love ghosts because they've kept me open-minded, kept me guessing, kept me exploring other possibilities, without just listening to what I’m told from established society, and most importantly give a firm, middle finger to the laws of physics.
