Can a ghost die ? Image Credit: Pixabay / darksouls1 Do ghosts live forever ? While it seems strange to suggest that something thought of as the disembodied spirit of a dead person can itself 'die' after a certain amount of time, such a possibility has been gaining traction in recent years among some paranormal researchers.

One of these is Brian Sterling-Vete - a veteran enthusiast of all things supernatural who has spent a considerable amount of time analyzing data collected from various paranormal investigations.

According to his findings, sightings of famous ghosts in allegedly haunted locations around the world are occurring less and less frequently - especially those that have been around for 100 years or more.

"When all the data was considered, it was quite a shock to think that many of our once-famous ghosts could be literally dying," he said.

"It was apparent that famous ghosts in once-notably haunted locations were being seen increasingly less frequently, and some had not been seen in many years.""[Our research] suggests that sentient ghosts seem to have a limited lifespan, just like living humans."

"In simple terms, the second law of thermodynamics tells us that energy tends to disperse and degrade over time. I would argue that our findings show ghosts do conform to the second law of thermodynamics as they appear to run out of energy."

Given that science does not even recognize the existence of ghosts in the first place, any research of this nature is clearly not definitive, but it does raise some interesting questions.

If ghosts do exist, could they really have a limited lifespan ?

If so, what happens when they 'die' a second time - could the mere possibility of something like this suggest that ghosts are in fact not necessarily dead or alive but something else ?

The search for answers continues.
