[QUOTE="Sanguinarious, post: 8802156, member: 7038247"] Speaking of ghosts, there's one thing most ghost stories have in common that just makes my scientific side do the NDT "Hmmmmmmmm..." Most ghost stories seem to involve a sense of coldness. Cold feelings, cold air, cold breezes seem to be very common in ghost stories. Now why is that? Just for a moment assume there is something to ghost stories, that there is a thing that exists which is the basis of ghost stories. Call it an entity for the moment. This entity might be almost completely outside what we call reality. Almost but not completely. It might hagr to follow at least a few of our known laws of physics, like thermodynamics. Not a major part of thermodynamics is it takes energy to do anything. Suppose an entity that is the basis for ghost stories has to follow this, abd in some way we can't understand now employs ambient heat as a form of ebergy, is soaks up heat abd uses it to become visible, make sounds, move stuff. Yes our current laws of physics say this isn't possible, for [I]us. [/I] But maybe not for something partially or mostly outside our currently known reality. Maybe something can take in heat abd channel it into ''manifestations''. It would explain why ''coldness'' is so associated with ghost stories from around the world and all sorts of separate cultures. I'm not saying I believe in ghosts, just putting out a possibility.
