Ghosts. Are. Not. Real

Personally I do not believe ghosts are real. Everything and anything has an explanation. The belief that some superhuman, superficial beings exist, is delusional. First off, the notion that a dead human or animal rests in the place it died, or a location that they particularly love is insane. A dead human or animal is dead, nothing more and nothing less. They do not come to haunt us so we remember them, or grieve us to make us suffer for the trauma they experienced, or to right a wrong that they were the victim of. Almost every ghost story I have personally been told or heard, has a reasonable explanation, or the story is fake. A door slamming, a "dark presence", a chill in a certain part of the room, a figure or shadow of some sort. Any number of factors could influence these specific occurrences. A gust of wind, a particular depression, a broken air vent or air conditioner, drug or lack of sleep induced hallucinations. Every single ghost occurrence has an explanation or the story is most likely unreliable. The fact that there is extremely little to no physical evidence to prove ghosts exist is a telltale sign that ghosts are a figment of the human imagination. For example many people swear by Ouija boards but they are one of the easiest games to influence. Any person involved in the process could impact it, even unconsciously. This would be called the ideomotor effect. The movement is caused by an anticipation and expectation for a result. In Beloved, we do not fully know yet what happened to Sethe's baby and why she died, but apparently there are many different times that "the ghost" appears. Again, not unlike every other ghost story ever, there are an infinite amount of possibilities to why these things are happening, or why the people in 124 think they are happening. Although I believe some people can convince themselves, and possibly others, with a good story, unless there is hard physical proof, these stories will never materialize into a legitimate entity. Ghosts are nothing but a good story.
