Ghosts, demons, evil spirits are nothing but a figment of our own imagination. These images surface as memories on the screen of our consciousness. We have three levels in consciousness. The highest upper level is consciousness, then there is sub-consciousness and the bottom most is unconsciousness. Whatever we see or perceive first remains in our consciousness. Then it begins to recede to sub consciousness. At sub-consciousness, we can recall the event at will. At unconscious level, it remains forgotten. We cannot recall it at will, however, the time we are emotionally stirred; it rises to the surface of consciousness, as an impulse. In rising, the impulse has to pass through several partitions or the separation layers. Sigmund Freud wrote about these partition layers in his works. Our unconscious contains not only the memories of what we have seen, perceived and experienced but also the painful memories of events seen, perceived and experienced by others. They might not be our contemporaries but they might have lived several centuries ago. In the moment of heightened emotional states, these memories are awakened from their deep slumber and they begin to rise to our surface of consciousness mainly to warn us about the impending danger and to tell us what we must do to protect ourselves. In animals and creatures, these memories serve as instincts but in human being, these instincts are dormant. They do not surface unless some grave danger confronts us or we are badly frightened and fear for our life. They create images in our mind with just one purpose. To frighten us so we may back away. These images are projected ahead of things we are expected to see in front of us. Therefore, we think we have seen a Ghost. In reality, there was no Ghost whatsoever.

I believe they are for real, heres the catch about ghosts people who never saw one are pretty much brave saying theres no such thing as ghosts . But believe me if you already saw one your going to wish that your just one of those who are saying that they are not for real .Seeing ghosts is not for the faint heart, it takes alot of courage and faith to stand that kind of experience

Hi yasmina, it's hard to tell whether there are ghosts somewhere around. For luckily that I haven't come across any face to face before. I have learned from books, stories, movies, etc ghosts would appear in night time only. Just similar to that of human being, there are good ghosts which might help us whereas the scary ones might hurt us or suck our blood From what I have learned, people usually could see its vague figure in the dim light only. Therefore until today we still could hardly describe how the mystery ghost actually like like It's believed that they don't have shadow and their bodies are as cold as ice. Easy to distinguish eh....but it's really dreadful in case encountering such situation one day. I hope this will never ever happen in my life time. Have a nice day
