What it would be like to be a ghost


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Interesting article.  From our perspective being a ghost could be depressing.  But, you know what’s missing from the article? What it’s like to be a ghost if they can interact with other ghosts.  They may find romance and be enraptured with the engagement with another.  Heck, they may be able to find pleasure in all the positions of the Kama Sutra for all we know.  😛

I like the bit about what would happen to ghosts in a global extinction, lol. From a lifetime of interest in this, the most likely theory is that ghosts are just a replay of their life that we sometimes witness, just a picture. They are not beings, their soul or spirit has already left. This means they are not trapped here, our mortal body is the only trap.

That's the best most rational thing you've said and as I've always considered a stone tape idea to explain some ghost claims i agree.

According to drop bear that kid who killed himself and his mom channels him for profit,  DB claims the kid played a prank on him and has an active afterlife, the ghost with the most. Baby!

Everything I say is rational but not to the unaware. Not interested in your theories bats unless you have concrete evidence 👍.

You know, the nice thing is that if you know you are a ghost, you’re obviously not in hell, so you can throw that out.  So, why not just eff around to the max? Drop the gloves.  Throw down!  If I were a ghost who knew I was a ghost, I would be naughty all the time.  I would be looking for some she ghosts who want to throw down and get naughty too.  I’m just saying.  I’m just using honesty as a tool.

Interesting piece of speculation, though I object the frequent use of the word "theory" when guess is meant. Before wondering what it is like to be a ghost, first question should be are ghosts real. I don't understand the concern for global extinction. Wouldn't there just be a lot more ghosts? Ghosts as replay of their life? How? Which part of life gets repeated? Who determines what gets replayed?

Am I the only one who sees a potential contradiction? Does your theory [not really a theory] have concrete evidence?

Ghosts aren't real in a sense but they are seen quite a lot. It's not a guess when you have experienced these replays. I don't have answers to any of this, nor does anyone else, it just is.

Because they are just a replay or picture, you might as well look through a Playboy mag.

Yes it is really a theory because it has nothing to do with scientific knowledge.

I think if ghosts were real that they could interact because they would be on the same plane of existence. But as far as sex goes, I doubt it would be very rewarding because there would be too much transparency and no feeling!!:cry::D

I was a ghost for 6 months- it has its advantages, but generally it was bloody boring.. plus- urinating was a problem.

When I became solid/ alive again if ya like & I told people of my experience- for some reason no one believed me 🤷‍♂️

He appeared in a full-bodied apparition with a dog in tow to another person just recently. And there's no profit in this. I've never given a penny.

My thought is that most of what we typically call ghosts are temporarily earthbound entities that have not yet moved on to the higher afterlife planes. They are typically people with a particularly deep emotional entanglement from their physical life. Contrary to the thinking in most of the article, it is not a permanent state.

Residual hauntings should more be thought of as a non-conscious thoughtform stuck in a loop. The person's consciousness may be active on a higher level.

Imagine what it would look like if nobody else could see the ghost while you're having sex 🤔

I didn't go into this thread thinking "ghost are real" because I do not think that but rather I came into the thread as just light hearted fun like if the question was what would it be like to be a zombie, or vampire, etc,
I of course thought each person has a different idea about such things like a Romero zombie or a return of the living dead zombie, or a Anne rice vampire or bram stroker.
Ghosts are the same, like Beetlejuice or polergiest.
Thing is if ghosts do exist it's anyone's guess as to what type since it's no where near been proven.

I don't mind calling some things that cross my mind "guessing"
I got into these subjects as a kid in the 70s even then I was messed up, lol, very OCD I would see TV shows or read a story about people who made claims of seeing ghosts but some cases the repeated ones stood out to me like war soldiers in the same field doing the same thing seen allegedly by different people over the years, another is resurrection mary.
I of course account for copy cats who jump on the paranormal bandwagon as explanation for some cases or a lot of them.
I recall one where a car with several people some saw the alleged ghosts warriors others didn't to the point of scffing at their car mates who did.

Drop bear thinks the number of stories make them more likely true I do not share that thinking however when we get more and more stories with zero supporting evidence then if we are trying to explain things to placate OCD where do we turn? No, I won't jump from unknown to it must be paranormal.
It was years back n this forum I was reintroduced to the stone tape theory/guessing, while I have my own version i fully admit it doesnt have anything to support it just like believers who do think ghosts exist im really not sure why i do like it as a possible explanation

Not so fast DB are you saying that kids mom has never taken in any money for her dubious works related to her dead kid?
We both know that simply isn't true.

Sure, if and that's a very unproven unsupported "if" ghosts existed then things like scratches and countless other things would be possible.

But very oddly...

Our biggest believer in all things are likely paranormal and ghosts exist just contradicted the hell out of himself to admit ghosts if the exist could not interact with the living due to lack of physical bodies yet DB supports as in another thread proves that ghosts scratch people. Can someone please give DB first aid for where he shot himself in the foot.

I have seen that in the world of true beliefs there is a lot of contradictions as I pointed out with drop bear,
Where you call theory another word for guessing which as I said I'm good with, another huge flaw with believers some skeptics too is they insist their opinions are fact. With believers that's based in nothing more than they believe it so it's fact, it's a very narrowd minded in the box way to think.
As I also said any version of "stone tape" has nothing to support it besides opinions and beliefs

If ghosts do exist, i'm unsure about this. It's been covered before, by sci fi authors, Stephen King. It sounds more like a nightmare. Forever stuck in rerun or like some record skipping. As someone w no set beliefs, I lean towards reincarnation. Edit: you did say "spirit has already left" though I'm still unsure about it.

What I've come to think is the ghost is not a conscious entity so replaying would mean nothing, it's just a pic of us. The essence of us is somewhere else, not suffering. That's just my take on it, I doubt living humans will ever know for sure.

It's all been a labor of love and deficit spending.

Bats, 'pretty hard' is different than 'impossible'. That's why physical activity by ghosts is rare but does happen.
