FOX 13’s The Place: Ghosts

28% of college students say they have had a paranormal experience.

3 out of 4 people harbor a ‘paranormal belief’

– The brain tries to make sense and create patterns of information that is muddled.

– Own brain is specifically seeking out faces. Mars face & Badlands Guardian in Alberta, Canada

– The ghost explanation is usually based on lack of information (poor lighting, waking up/falling asleep, unfamiliar places)

What we need to make sure it isn’t:

-Carbon monoxide poisoning: pressure on chest/auditory hallucinations/general sense of dread. Call you gas company or fire department.

Exposed wires/ungrounded electricity: creates the hair standing up and feeling of being watched. Call a electrician/home inspector.

-Infrasound: (sounds so low humans can’t hear it) feelings of panic, chills down the spine and feeling uneasy. There’s an app! Find the source and move/eliminate it.

The Positives!

– Thrill: Creates excitement, a little adrenaline boost, and often is a social situation.

– Play: As adults we rarely use our imaginations in big ways like this and it switches up our mundane, planned out life.

Comfort: Belief in the afterlife, someone is watching out for us, reassure us that we don’t just disappear.

* If you are distressed by your ghosts, go through reliable scientific sources and get a therapist.
