Ghosts or magnetic fields?

Question

Scientists found out that when subject to electromagnetic fields (that occur naturally), we feel haunted. Drafts, alcohol, muck and enclosed spaces merely add to that experience. Do you believe ghosts are naught but hallucinations, or does magnetism open our minds to see an existing spirit world?

"In a report published in the latest issue of the British Journal of Psychology, psychologists concluded that the “spooky” feelings reported in some locations were the result of drafts, poor or variable lighting and differences in electromagnetic fields, rather than denizens of the spirit world." (May 2003)

Answer 1

Well as a Spiritualist I believe in ghosts and spirits. I have had experiences that can't be explained so I would have to say that I keep an open mind.....There are many things that cannot be explained in this world. Psychologists tend to be sceptics and I wouldn't bother trying to change their minds....It is like hitting your head on a brick wall.

Answer 2

In my opinion there are ghosts, spirits and such like: -

But when we think of ghosts we actually think that this is our imagination and that they aren't real. Which is fine some people believe that.

Sure sometimes our mind does play tricks on us and cause us to hallucinate & sure why not say that ghosts and what not is caused by electromagnetic fields. Anything is possible.

But, just say what if.....there is no electromagnetic field around you or around where you have supposedly seen the ghost or spirit. You have had it checked on numerous occasions and still nothing of an electromagnetic field can be detected. But, still the paranormal ocurances still happen, with no reasons or explanations why.

There are possibilities of all things paranormal, that we will never be able to understand no matter how hard we try.

Answer 3

I saw a ghost hand appear from under the ground VERY CLEAR on the evening while sun still shining. So in my opinion, there is no magnetic field that disturb my brain to create such hallucination. Bcoz i was not afraid or affect with any mangnetic field.

" I circle the ghost hand that sway at me and it was so clear , not hallucination "

Answer 4

I think that all Psychologists automatically debunk anything they can't understand. There is always one on any Paranormal programme on the telly. I'm not sure about magnetism but there is a theory that there is more paranormal activity on or around ley lines. Also sites where there is moving water including underground streams etc. can heighten the possibility of paranormal activity.

Answer 5

Ghosts are one explanation, another one is that are bodies have iron in them and when subject to strong magnetic fields they may somehow put us ill at ease. Magnetism could perhaps open the spirit world, how could we know for sure that it doesn't?

Answer 6

Another line of thought is that ghostly illusions are caused by some kind of magnetic recording in rock that gets replayed during certain conditions!
Sounds stupid? Well It's the same principal as a VCR!

Answer 7

Magnetism probably stimulates areas of the brain that cause us to perceive hallucinatory effects such that we might come to believe in a spirit world.

Answer 8

Hey let the ghosts stay in horror movies as I have found them moving out of there and hanting people through stupid TV channels. There is nothing called as a ghost. Its all your imagination.

Answer 9

Ghosts don't exist. Demons do exist but were exiled. There is a weird way of defeating them.

Answer 10
