This is for the people who believe there could be ghosts. I keep hearing stories where people claim "they dont know they are dead so they keep repeating the same actions". How can they not know they are dead? Wouldnt they figure it out after trying to move and object or talk to someone,etc? lol. People really dont think out there theories very well.

It seems like you did not think out your question well either, because normally when a person dies tragically, they live the same moments of their life over and over again, without any knowledge that any time has passed at all; to them, it is like you setting your DVD to watch the same scene over and over again. They don't communicate with us, they just experience the world from what they know.
People who see ghosts or experience them, see them walking through walls which could not have been there if they died 500 years ago, and like we can't see them, they can't see us, with exception to those who know they are dead and choose to stay on the Earth.

The ones that keep doing the same thing over and over are thought to be like a recording on time. Allegedly, a sudden and violent death will create some kind of trauma that will cause the spirit to not realize it has left this material realm. There
are also other dimensions of reality where some souls go and exist in a state of spiritual unawarenss.

A situation like that is usually caused by a sudden unexpected death. They just dont realize they're dead. Unresolved Karma from an incomplete life will lead to a blind determination to try to resolve the issues left behind. Besides that, after a while out of the body the spirit is likely to become lost in the mire of feelings left over from the lack of completion. Logic is lost, and they lock themselves here because they cannot forgive themselves.

It could be because they can't think of a reason for the strange occurences happening lately, so they come out with all these nonsensical theories. I don't think a ghost would not know that they are dead.

Do you have an instruction manual as to what to do when you die?
Sometimes the reason they stay around is that when they are ejected forcefully such as in an accident, they don't have time to assimilate that they have died.
Or if they died with unresolved emotional issues, they return to the place of those issues again and again, or relive the "event" over and over again.
Sometimes, as in the case of a child, they are too immature to understand what has happened to them.
In my case, this is not a theory. It is experience. Just because one can't see it, doesn't make it a theory.

Personally, I truly believe in ghosts but my observation with this kind of phenomenon is that it isn't a ghost but an after image of the energy of the person. Either because they did die violently there and left an imprint OR they spent their entire life there doing so much of the same thing that it left an imprint

It's hard to believe that when some people die they become stupid ghosts.I think thats sad. My Dad just died and it doesn't make me happy to think he became a dumb ghost with all of the smart things he accomplished in his life. In the movie Ghost he had to learn about how being a ghost had different rules so who really knows.

I think it could be in a way that they did not know of their death or their death was so traumatic that their soul was forced out of the body before the body died.
But we never know what could be a real answer. Some people say its because they have unresolved issues.
Maybe they just didn't want to leave this realm or believe that they could be killed by a certain person or thing.
We all just have to wait until we die to see the real reason.

I've heard that when someone passes suddenly they don't know they're dead for awhile, and they keep wandering around until they get it, and then they go on to their next level. I don't know, but if energy never dies, and it only changes form, there would have to be something after we pass on. I hope that helps a little

well it is believed that ghosts wander around the earth for 40 days doing the same routines as they did when they were still alive.. going to school work etc.... although no one can really see them, they think that they are still alive after the 40 days, they go to werever people go when they die
