I was shocked to discover when we covered the topic of religious experience in my philosophy class, that there is a lot more evidence supporting the existence of ghosts than goes against it.
I sat there thinking..surely everyone else sees that the idea is ridiculous...but it emerged that most people in the room...even my teacher, believe in ghosts. People started coming out with all these claims; each person truly believed they had seen a ghost.
But how can I question another person's experience? I wasn't there, I didn't see...so how can I judge?
My gut instinct has always been...what a load of rubbish. But now I'm faced with a world that seems to take the concept of ghosts very seriously. I guess I'm scared of the philosophical implications this might have, if it were true.
Please tell me I'm right to be skeptical and explain to be how the existence of ghosts can be disproved.
