In the effort to introduce legitimate science into this category, I ask this specifically of those who believe that ghost research is science, not pseudoscience. For those who believe ghosts aren't simply hallucinations or illusions, read on.

The foundational question, "What is a ghost?", must be answered scientifically before any other kind of ghost research is undertaken, since science is a process whereby new knowledge is built directly upon established knowledge. This requires:

1) Using known physical theories, show that they predict the existence of a "ghost" and that a falsifiable hypothesis can be formed and investigated.

2) Show how our knowledge of physics predicts the nature of the "ghost", i.e., define it with equations if possible.

Please be scientific. That is, your explanation has to be firmly grounded in theory, not conjecture. No handwaving about how a ghost is an echo, or an imprint on the atmosphere, or some such wild and nebulous conjecture.

Why are they so friendly with people?
Who are we for them- deities, friends from other kind or smth with common origin?

Ever since I was younger I have had premonitions. I guess some people call it ESP. Its not always something visual sometimes its a sound or a feeling. Like the feeling that something bad can happen. I am wondering if there are some ways that I can enhance my premonitions or make them stronger so I can understand more from them. If I can (which I know I can) then what can I do?

What is the channel it will air on?
It is a reality show where psychics will compete against each other trying to prove if any of them are actually legit.
I saw a promo that looked rather good but didn't get the channel.
Don't want to miss this for sure.

I think that a ghost and supernatural power are lies, and a UFO is true.

It would be kind of good if it did - just imagine, the UK and USA would welcome those fleeing terror, politicians would smile and mean it, we could all live free, there'd be no pollution / bloodshed / wars, we'd all be living in harmony - mind. bodies, spirits...

There's no such wonder cure? How wrong you are!
Ah, you're waiting till science has patented and packaged it, charging a bomb for it...

I've always been really open to the fact that their are spirits and never been scared of them (I'm 14). We've always had weird things happen in our house, doors slamming, tv/radios turning on and off, just things like that. Lately I keep seeing things though I know this sounds crazy, but I am. I swear I've seen a little boy and older man in our house, I've seen the man a few times. I feel like I'm going nuts! I told my parents and they just kinda laughed it off. Could I really be seeing spirits? Why am I seeing them all of a sudden? Why isnt anyone else in my house seeing them?

Sometimes I hear a muffled noise that sounds like a radio that is to far away to make out what is being said. Not music , but the sound of voices having a conversation, that you can't quite make out. I don't know how else to describe it. I hear it at different times when the house is quiet. Could this just be radio waves floating around and I am just right there to hear them?

I know people are going to post some really stupid answers so only seriouse answers please.
I have been trying to meditate to open my third eye. When I did it today I heard a little boy say help. Then I asked why and he said he can't. I asked why and he said that some one will hurt him. Then I stopped because I was confused. Was that my imagination ? My house is new and it is not haunted. Could some one give me any advice please?

There was a game some of my friends and i would play, there was a old copper mine up around were we lived, the mine was closed down because there were Native American bones in the back of the cave, at least that's what it said in the old news papers at the museum, but the real reason the mine was closed was because 27 miners died in that mine one day after the burial chamber was found, the mine owners didn't want to lose there investments so they ordered the men back into the mine, they were told to destroy all evidence of any Native American burial chamber, after the miners went down into the mine the foreman heard screams coming from inside the mine shaft, another group was sent down to see what happened to the first group of miners, when they came back from down in the mines they were throwing up and saying that the bodies were torn into pieces by some kind of beast, the mine closed shortly after that and that was over a hundred years ago, the mine entrance was boarded up and sealed off, but we found a way into the mine through another cave we used to call it crystal cave because it never went that deep into the hillside and the inside of the cave walls had quartz crystals growing on them, the was a tremor that was centred in Vancouver but the after shocks was just enough to put a medium sized crack in the back wall of the cave that led into a much bigger cavern, we knew we were near the old copper mine so we were extra careful not to slip and fall, but it was to dark to go any deeper into the cave so we went home and grabbed some camping stuff, tents, sleeping bags, battery powered flash lights and stuff like that, the first night we camped outside of the cave till morning and when the sun came up we pack our day packs and headed back into the cave, we must have walked a 100 feet into the cave past the bigger cavern we found ealier, we found a old tunnel that was blocked off so we tore the boards down and kept going until we found a underground stream i guess thats why the tunnel was boarded up, so we back tracked but on the way back we found a side tunnel that we missed when we were going down the tunnel the first time, we walked for much longer this time it felt like we were walking forever until my friend tripped on something, it was some old rail track so we stood up and looked around with our flash lights to get our bearings, we must have found another way into the old mine but we never believed the old ghost stories people used to tell us, heck we were in our mid teens nothing could hurt us or so we thought, so we went deeper into the old mine until we came to a dead body old one of the miners that died down were, now we were getting a little scared, so we went a little deeper into the mine until we found three bodied, one of the bodies had it's hand up over it's face like something was attacking it, so we figured that we should head back(not because we were scared, or at least that's what we told ourselves) as we turned to start going back we heard some noises and seen a freaky glowing light coming towards us, so we said to hell with this and we started to run and as we were running the noise and light was getting closer, we made it back to were we had torn the boards down the when we made it to the end of the first small cave crystal cave, after we got to the first cave the lights and sounds had stopped but we chose to sleep outside that night, whatever it was in that cave i'll never know because i never went back into that cave ever again, but when we would meet new friends we would dare then to sleep inside the first cave with a warning never to go deeper into the second tunnels.

Not wanting to take an organizations test to prove abilities are real because they do not want the money, yet charge a lot in book stores for books, tarot readings etc. . .Isn't it possible that the reason no one takes them up on the tests is because the rules for the test are unrealistic, i.e. if they do not pass with a score of 100 then they are a fraud and will publicise it immediately, YET if they do pass the test with flying colors, it may or may not be publicised and they do not get all the money promised up front, maybe a small percentage. Would you take a test that no matter how well you do, you lose?

I need some good websites that are informative and perhaps slighlty opinionated. They CANNOT be .com websites. This if for a research paper so only:
.org
.net
.gov
etc.

are accepted. They will be cited in the bibliography so it will be known which site the information was attained from. I have searched Google and tried a variety of search engines for educaitonal purposes but perhaps I wasn't searching correctly. Any info will be greatlty appreciated. Thank You!!!!

Also, I have to have an interview of someone's opinion on ghosts. I would prefer to interview someone who has had experience with the paranormal, someone who is knowledgable of the paranormal, or someone who DOES BELIEVE in ghosts. It will be an e-mail interview so anyone who wished to participate may notify me by e-mail. My web address is on my profile and please be sure to enter age and a brief summary of your experience. Again, thank you!
