Do you believe ghosts are possible? If not, what do you think people's experiences of ghosts actually are?

In a "possible world" ghosts could exist. In the world we happen to inhabit, I firmly believe they don't.
People's "experiences" with ghosts are everything ranging from misinterpretations of things they've seen to hysteria to hallucinations to outright fraud. (All the "ghost hunter" types, no exceptions, fall into the last camp.)
I'm open to evidence to the contrary, of course, but this is a very large claim so it's going to need a mountain of solid evidence.
- Wild to harken back to humans thinking a woman's uterus traveling around her body messing with things is the reason they are so emotional (hystaria) in a post claiming something is 100% impossible because of our advanced understanding of the subject.
  
  In today's lesson, an always-seeking-something-to-be-offended-about ideologue learns about "linguistic drift".
  Or, more likely, doesn't. But that's par for the course for America's so-called "left". (You know, the "left" that the rest of the world considers "centre right".)
  
  You are unpleasant.
  
  So are you.
  
  Maybe so, though it wasn't my intention.
  
  Hysteria is in poor taste, and I'm sure the guy wasn't thinking of a slithering uterus.
  But Cluster B personality disorders are what some of the more justified instances of suspected hysteria would be called today. Some others would be stress, others healthy responses to bad situations, and I'm sure some would be willing to go into far more detail.
  
  Course not. I just found the connection between the past of the word and the context of science "wild"
  
  Yes. "Guy." Even the American "left" can't help but use the masculine-as-default.
  
  I'm not American, my guy.
  
  That's twice now.
  And for a non-American, there's a whole lot of American-focused political shit in your feed. Perhaps there would be less confusion if you, you know, stopped talking like an American with an American's viewpoint on everything.
  My gal.
  
  It's been an American world, boy. Hard not to.
