explanation for ghost?

Question

not scientific

Answer 1

There are many explanations for ghosts.
1. Not realizing they've died. This happens a lot when someone dies suddenly.
2. Seeing their grieving family and not wanting to leave them.
3. Unfinished business.
4. Being afraid to go to the light because they feel they've sinned in life and they're afraid they're going to hell.
5. Not wanting to give up their bad habits (smoking, sex, drugs, etc) so they use others to fulfill that habit.
6. In hospitals, you find a lot of ghosts who want to help those who will be passing soon. You find this a lot in the children's ward.
I'm sure there's many more that I just can't think of right now and as the previous poster stated, they can't hurt us.

Answer 2

The first of these—and perhaps the most important—is that ghosts are always human. That which we might call the personality—of a once living person, as opposed to spirit guides, angels and other supernatural beings which have never been human nor have ever existed in a physical state.

The second characteristic of a true ghost is that it has the ability to manipulate things, observe and be observed, and can communicate with the living.

Finally, the third characteristic; ghosts are beings that are unnaturally confined to the physical realm for a variety of reasons, usually having to do with either a free-will decision to stay behind or an unwillingness to completely move on to their next level of existence. In essence, then, depending upon ones point of view, ghosts are either “trapped” or choose to reside in a type of “twilight” state that exists between the spiritual and physical realms, effectively making them residents of neither the physical nor the spiritual realm yet subject to elements of both.

Answer 3

A death so sudden that the person is unware they are dead. Guilt about something which prevents them from entering the light because they don't feel they deserve heaven. Getting "lost" on the way to heaven(don't ask me how, I've never been dead so I don't know how to get there). Fear of leaving loved ones, desire to stay with loved ones, greater than desire for heaven. An imprint of their energy on the molecules and atoms around them when they lived or died(I know you said no science, but science does have a logical explanation of ghost) Loved ones not being to accept the death, or maybe simply another plane of life that we have no concept of.
