Phantoms are the partially visible spirits of people and creatures that have died. Ancient books are full of records confirming that ghosts exist, but modern science denies any possibility of the appearance of supernatural creatures and objects in the ordinary world.

Ghosts are translucent creatures

Appearance of ghosts

The generally accepted formulation describing ghosts speaks of them as spirits or parts of the soul of creatures, phenomena or mystical objects that have ended their existence in ordinary reality. They can take the form:

• deceased in a non-standard way of creation;
• a creature close to a person, but with magical abilities;
• animals or representatives of mythological bestiaries;
• legendary vehicles;
• natural phenomena such as flying lights or ghostly clouds;
• strange spots or images in photographs.

Phantoms have the ability to hover above the ground, pass through obstacles, and talk. There are records of spirits capable of leaving traces in ordinary reality. Other information describes ghosts that predict the future of those to whom they appear. There are also evil creatures that send diseases and disorders to people.

Researchers claim that ghosts remain in the world for a certain time and take on a mystical appearance when a person or creature has not completed an important task in ordinary life. In this case, the restless soul lingers on the edge until the task is completed by another person.

Signs of a Spirit Appearance

Ghosts can haunt cemeteries, old houses, or crossroads. Other mystical creatures are tied to the place of their death or permanent residence during life. According to witnesses, ghosts appear closer to night, and their presence is marked by an inexplicable change in temperature and strange phenomena:

• an incomprehensible noise where there should not be one;
• interruptions or uncontrolled operation of electrical equipment;
• strange noise of varying volume;
• disappearance of some objects;
• unexplained aggressive behavior in dogs;
• feeling of someone else's presence;
• the appearance of incomprehensible shadows and instant highlights that are impossible to concentrate on.

It is recommended to take a closer look at the way the mystical creature manifests itself and try to understand its hints. In the event of the appearance of an aggressive phantom, you need to attend to rituals to protect against the spirit or enlist the support of a few specialists in ghost hunting.

Ghosts in legends of different countries

Myths of ancient times tell about famous spirits, the appearance of which was noticed by many people and influenced the lives of the people:

1. A Mexican phantom bandit who can cure madness and expel evil spirits from the bodies of ordinary people.
2. American ghost of a train that belonged to President Lincoln.
3. A ghost without legs in Japan. Fire replaces his lower limbs, and the appearance of the creature warns of imminent death.
4. A luminous spirit in Italy, which marked the death of the famous representative of the Borgia family.

Every country has preserved references to ghostly creatures.

Slavic mythology is rich in representatives of the other world of spirits. Among them are Mavkas, and many other creatures that serve a specific purpose or have important abilities.

Types of perfumes

Ghosts are divided according to the place of appearance, influence on ordinary people and the presence of a message for the living. IN old times by the majority of experts who are convinced of real existence spirits, a classification of ghostly creatures was adopted. It talks about the following subspecies of creatures:

• visions - this is the name of ordinary ghosts that came from antiquity;
• ectoplasm - a mystical nebula that takes on a close to human appearance;
• ghostly lights, the nature of which is controversial among researchers;
• phantoms of animals that can pose a danger to the living;
• collective visions are creatures that appear simultaneously to several people;
• - ghosts without appearance. They manifest themselves through strange noises and can wreak havoc in a room and even set it on fire;
• spirits in the form of shadows that are difficult to notice.

Ghosts of small children are identified as a separate species. They live in their usual habitat, some are endowed with the ability to grow. The spirits of children become the guardians of the house, but sometimes they cause disturbances and frighten the residents.

Angyak is the ghost of a child, in whose existence the Eskimos believed. A murdered baby became such a creature, already having a name at the time of death. He scared people by crying at night, and then took the life of the chosen victim. Many angyakis appeared to the mothers who killed them, sucking the energy out of them.

Other experts divide phantoms into ordinary and great. Among the first are those who appear in the form of a beautiful woman, warning of imminent death with her scream, and weak ghosts, incapable of manifesting themselves in the visible spectrum. In the same classification there are phantoms that influence the mind and surrounding matter. Great ghosts are the spirits of those people who during their lifetime were related to magic and retained part of their abilities.

Reasons for ghosts

Modern experts do not believe in the existence of ghostly creatures. They explain all the entries by real malfunctions in health or the operation of technology, using examples of the illness of schizophrenia of those who claimed the existence of spirits.

Evidence of the absence of ghosts includes hallucinations, optical illusions, and defects in cameras and cameras. Another probable explanation for the coming of phantoms is the conscious self-hypnosis of a person who dreams of encountering magic in life.

Ghosts in mysticism

Parapsychologists and researchers of everything unusual claim that spirits are the result of the work of the human mind. They created a certain classification describing the reasons for the appearance of creatures, but could not understand their nature. So, according to experts, ghosts can become dead people who did not want to leave this world and continued their existence in an alternative form. Other scientists believe that phantoms are a kind of message from the deceased, which contains important information and must be transmitted.

There are other explanations for the appearance of ghosts - the arrival of objects from outer space, the manifestation of schizophrenia, the creation of an astral double and a state of déjà vu. During this process, a part of a person's soul may appear in the place that he is thinking about.

Disputes about the existence and nature of ghosts have been going on for several centuries, but no one has been able to confirm or deny the presence of such creatures in the ordinary world.

The appearance of an astral double may explain the phenomenon of ghosts

Protection from spirits

In many legends, mystical creatures are dangerous creatures that can harm the person they come to. For this reason, tips have appeared that help you escape from the terrible creature and protect your life. The main rule when meeting a spirit is to maintain the desired line of behavior. You need to calm down, continue moving and not pay attention to the phantom, but keep it in sight. You cannot start a conversation with a ghostly creature.

If you think there is a spirit in the room, stock up. The best ones are considered to be:

• mistletoe branches;
• cross;
• Holy water.

If a ghost appears suddenly and there is no time to search for protective equipment, researchers recommend changing clothes so that the clothes are turned inside out. It is useless to fight with ghostly creatures, but continuous prayer and blows will help you escape right hand towards the phantom. This behavior will frighten the mystical creature and force it to leave its intended victim.

Mistletoe scares away spirits

Ghosts in modern culture

Ghosts have not lost popularity for several centuries. Screenwriters, novelists, computer game creators and directors are increasingly including spirits in the plot of their works and demonstrating their abilities in action. From time to time, separate films about ghosts are made, in others they are mentioned in passing.

The Supernatural series presents phantoms as deceased people who exist in the ordinary world and have an unfinished goal or dream of revenge. There is only one way to get rid of such creatures - to find the bones of the deceased and burn them.

Conclusion

Ghosts are the spirits of dead people, animals, or images of ancient artifacts. They appear for a specific purpose and do not always bring harm to the victims. Researchers have been arguing for many years, but have not come to a single decision about the existence of phantoms. Believing it or not is a personal matter, but studying the nature of creatures and methods of protection is recommended to every person. Besides, it's not worth the risk of trying

They say that in the south San Antonio, Texas Some time ago there was an accident in which several children died. The ghosts of these children are pushing the cars towards railway crossing, although the road goes uphill. Recently, a young girl and her mother drove past this crossing and took a photograph of the ghost.

"Lady Brown" by Captain Provand: This portrait of the ghost "Lady Brown" is in fact the most famous ghost photograph of all time. It is believed to be the ghost of Lady Dorothy Townshed, wife of Charles Townshed. The couple lived at Rainham Hall in Norfolk, England in the early 18th century. It was rumored that Dorothy was Lord Wharton's mistress before her marriage. Charles suspected Dorothy of cheating. Although according to documents she died and was buried in 1726, people suspected that it was a performance and that Charles had locked his wife in the farthest corner of the house until her death, which occurred many years later.

Lord Combermere. Photo by Sibell Corbet: in the photo you can see a blurry figure of a man sitting in a chair. It is believed to be the ghost of Lord Combermere, an early 19th century British cavalry commander who died in 1891 after being run over by a horse-drawn carriage.

Freddie Jackson: You can clearly see the face of another person behind one of the aviators. It is believed to be the face of Freddie Jackson, an aircraft mechanic who died in a propeller accident two days before filming. His funeral took place on the day the photo was taken. Colleagues easily recognized Jackson in the photo. They decided that Jackson, not realizing that he had died, decided to take part in a group photo

Rev. Ralph Hardy, a retiree from White Rock, British Columbia, took this famous photograph in 1966. He intended simply to photograph the elegant spiral staircase in the Queen's House section of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. However, after development, the picture showed a figure walking up holding the railing with both hands. Experts (including from Kodak) who examined the original negative came to the conclusion that no manipulations were made with it. It is known that in the area of ​​the stairs these phenomena were seen more than once.

While visiting her mother's grave in 1959, Mabel Chinnery filmed her husband waiting for her in the car. After developing the film, both spouses were surprised to find a figure in the back seat, which was Mabel's mother.

Terry Ike Clanton took a photo of his friend at Boothill Cemetery. The photo was taken on black and white film because a friend wanted Wild West style photos. Clanton took the film to the Swifty Drug Store for development and was very surprised when he received the pictures. In the upper right corner there is an image of a man wearing a dark hat. Judging by the height of the person, he either has no legs, or he is on his knees, or... rising from the ground.

On November 19, 1995, the town hall of Wem (Shropshire, England) burned to the ground. Many onlookers gathered to watch the fire of this ancient building, built in 1905. Tony O'Rahilly filmed the fire from the other side of the street. One of the photos shows the translucent figure of a girl standing in the doorway. Neither O'Rahilly nor other observers or firefighters the girls remember during the fire. Judging by historical documents, a fire in 1677 destroyed many wooden houses in the city. According to legend, a little girl named Jayne Charm accidentally set the roof on fire with a candle. Many believe that her ghost lives in this area.

The photo was taken during an investigation at Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, near Chicago, by the Ghost Research Society (GRS). On August 10, 1991, several members of the UIP were in a small abandoned cemetery on the edge of a forest preserve in the suburbs of Midlothian, Illinois. The cemetery has a reputation as one of the most mystical cemeteries in the United States. There are reports of more than 100 different cases strange phenomena that occurred here: disappearances, strange sounds and visions, and even glowing balls of light. After developing one of the photographs taken by the OIP, you can see a lonely woman sitting on a gravestone. Parts of her body are translucent, and her clothing and style are clearly outdated.

James Courtney and Michael Meehan, members of the Watertown crew, cleaned the cargo hold of an oil tanker en route from New York to the Panama Canal in December 1924. As a result of the accident, they were poisoned by gas fumes and died. According to maritime tradition, they were buried at sea. The next day, one of the crew members saw their faces in the waves on the starboard side. They appeared in the water for 10 seconds and then melted. Over the following days, other crew members often saw the faces of the dead in the waves. Upon arrival in New Orleans, the ship's captain, Keys Tracy, reported strange events to his employers, who advised him to capture the faces on film. Captain Tracy bought a camera and went to sea. When the faces reappeared in the water, the captain took 6 photographs and then locked the camera in the ship's safe. When the film was developed in New York, five of the photographs showed nothing but water, and in the last one the faces of the dead sailors could be clearly seen. The negative was examined for fraud by the Burns Detective Agency. After the ship's crew was changed, the faces no longer appeared.

This photograph was taken in 1963 by priest K.F. Lord at Newby Church in North Yorkshire, England. This photo caused a storm of controversy because it is very clear. The face and direction of view give reason to talk about overlapping frames. But they say that this photo was studied in detail by experts who came to the conclusion that these are not two frames superimposed one on one, but exactly one picture

A woman named Andrews was visiting the grave of her daughter Joyce, who died at 17. Andrews didn't see anything unusual when she took the photo of the gravestone. When the film was developed, Andrews was stunned by the image of a small child sitting next to the grave. The ghost child appears to have been seen by Andrews as he is looking straight into the lens.

In 1982, photographer Chris Brackley took a photo of the interior of St. Botolph's Church in London, but he never expected what he saw on film. In the upper right corner you can see the figure of a woman. According to Brackley, there were only three people in the church and none of them were in the area where the figure is visible.

According to the author of a book about ghosts, there was another photographer in the church when this photo was taken, but neither he nor the person who took this photo saw either a ghost or a person. Since the figure is dressed in black, it is assumed that this is a priest.

Denise Russell took this photo of her grandmother in 1997 and was shocked when she saw the image of her deceased grandfather behind her grandmother after it was developed.

Do ghosts exist? Are there ghosts in real world? It is believed that a ghost is what remains of a person after his death. But those who, after their death, for a certain reason, were not able to go to the afterlife and find peace.

Are there ghosts in the real world?
It is believed that a ghost is what remains of a person after his death. But those who, after their death, for a certain reason, were not able to go to the afterlife and find peace. And for this reason they wander in our world in reality. In addition, most people believe that there are ghosts of people in the world who stopped living not from own death and those who did not have time to complete any work before death.

Do ghosts really exist or not?
In addition to people who believe in ghosts, there are those who consider this to be fiction, but scientists can already explain this kind of happening. Many legends from ancient times tell us about ghosts. They were obliged to restore justice or show the true face of the person at whose hands he had to die. A person has to believe in such stories, because he often has to observe something inexplicable, something that he can call a “ghost”.

What kind of ghosts are there?
There are several types of ghosts, and they can be divided into groups:

Resident ghosts. Ghosts appearing before by different people, but are in the same place. Such a ghost, other than a human, can usually belong to an animal.

Ghosts are messengers. These are ghosts that come to a person with something specific. It could be a request, a plea, a wish, a warning. Such ghosts are practically taciturn; they usually hint at something.

Ghosts of the living. This one is one of the most unusual species ghosts, is irrefutable confirmation of whether ghosts exist in the real world or whether it is a fairy tale. If a loved one is in great trouble, his soul can come to him to a loved one(to a friend or relative, in order to warn him about what happened. These ghosts usually come only once.

Returned. These are ghosts that have returned to the real world for various reasons. To achieve what they want, such ghosts are able to use completely ordinary people.

Poltergeist. Poltergeist - “actions” of forces from the afterlife, such as objects flying around the house, breaking fragile objects, etc. A poltergeist can appear anywhere out of nowhere, and can also pass through obstacles (walls, furniture, etc.). Such ghosts are especially aggressive.

Whether there are ghosts in the real world or not depends on a person’s faith, because there is no definitive evidence that ghosts are real. And despite this, according to statistics, there are many more people who believe in otherworldly forces than people who refuse to believe in it.

Who are ghosts? If we talk about ghosts, many people mean the souls of previously deceased people who come to our world in visible form. Some people believe that ghosts exist, while others, on the contrary, categorically do not want to believe in the existence of such a phenomenon. People who, by their own statements, have seen ghosts say that they are pale images that have unclear outlines. And it is still not completely known whether ghosts really exist. Everyone has the right to believe only what he himself hears or sees. Many people can see ghosts after they find out

Many legends that have come to us since time immemorial talk about ghosts, whose appearance is directly related to the completion of a specific task or a specific assignment.

Some ghosts come with the goal of carrying out some kind of retribution, or to reveal a criminal who is guilty of committing a murder.

Other ghosts may return to correct some mistakes or injustices that were committed against those living today.

Ghosts may also appear to correct their own guilt for some misdeeds they committed during their lifetime.

There are several types of ghosts, namely:

Resident ghosts - these include ghosts that appear in front of different people, but it will always be the same ghost living in a given place. In such cases, it may seem that they are absolutely not interested in people. They, in turn, are attracted only by the place they come to. It should be said that these are not only ghosts of people, but also of animals.

Ghost messengers - these include ghosts who visit a person for a specific purpose. Such ghosts are called the souls of deceased people who come back into the world in order to bring some kind of message or warning; as a rule, they come to the family of the deceased or to his friends. In this case, ghosts rarely speak; they mainly point to some object or thing, or convey their messages using various gestures.

Souls of the living. Strange as it may seem, many accounts of ghosts are directly linked to the appearance of the souls of living people. At some point, eyewitnesses may see in front of them the ghost of a friend or relative who is in trouble or is on the verge of life and death. And this person himself may well be very far away at this moment. Castings of this type, as a rule, come only once.

Returners are a type of ghost that returns to this world for various reasons. Such ghosts use living people to achieve their goals.

Poltergeist. The appearance of this particular type of ghost is very often blamed for various very unpleasant acts of supernatural forces, for example, plates or cups floating through the air, and so on. Many people believe that ghosts themselves cause poltergeists, but they behave completely differently from ordinary ghosts. Objects moving through poltergeists begin to acquire very strange qualities. In turn, they can heat up to such a level that it is simply impossible to touch them. They also have the ability to penetrate through closed windows or doors. And the strangest thing is their ability to suddenly appear out of thin air.

The first evidence of the activity of ghosts that has survived to this day is considered to be the epic of Gilgamash - the ancients Babylonian tales, which were recorded around 2000 BC. These legends are recorded on clay tablets. They talk about a fairy-tale hero named Gilgamesh, as well as the ghost of his deceased friend, who came to him in the form of a human figure.

The ancient Egyptians also believed that ghosts existed. Their ghosts appeared with the head of a bird, and bore the name Khu, and they, in turn, represented the souls of dead people. It was generally accepted that this evil spirits, spreading various diseases and capable of invading various animals, at the same time instilling rabies in them.

Despite the fact that the residents ancient China They treated the deceased with great respect and even held holidays in their honor; they were very afraid of the spirits of the murdered, who were considered directly dangerous and very evil. Such a ghost, according to Chinese beliefs, came in the same attire that he was wearing during his lifetime. His appearance looked very impressive. First, a kind of shapeless cloud was shown, from which the legs and head of a ghost then grew. And only then did the body itself appear, which was surrounded by a shimmering green cloud.

The British capital has long been, and not without reason, considered a world center where various kinds of spirits and ghosts are concentrated.

For more than seventy years, Londoners have retold the story of how, on a July evening in 1930, about 8,000 people came to one of the most luxurious concert halls, the Royal Albert Hall, to attend a gala event held in honor of the famous Arthur Conan Doyle, who was a writer and by the well-known detective named Sherlock Holmes.

Dressed in a tailcoat, the hero of the occasion entered the room shortly before the start of the concert and sat down in a place of honor with his wife Jean, and remained there until the end of the event.

But the most unusual thing in this story is that the writer died 6 days before the start of the mentioned concert, which was dedicated precisely to his memory.

The writer's widow worried in advance and ordered an entrance ticket along with a place of honor for the deceased. This woman was famous for being considered a talented medium and able to contact the souls of the deceased and organize visits for them to the world of living people. It turns out that she knew about the arrival of the phantom of the late Sir Arthur in the concert hall. All the spectators present at the concert, who knew Conan Doyle by sight, perceived his arrival at the Albert Hall very calmly and coolly, which is characteristic of the British and since it took place in London, where meeting with a ghost is not considered something rare and supernatural.

In some cases, ghosts can help scientists compare facts, thanks to which they restore true pictures from the past, and the truth of the details suggested by ghosts is subsequently proven by researchers or found documents. The most famous example of this is the death of the second wife of the British monarch Henry VIII, the famous Anne Boleyn, who was executed in 1536 because she was accused of cheating on her husband. Previously, historians believed that the process of Anna’s execution was ordinary for that time, namely, the victim was laid with her head on the block, and the executioner cut her neck with an ax. However, it later turned out that with Anna everything was different.

The thing is that in 1972 there was a tour of the Tower Castle, which included a young girl with her parents. And while inspecting the place where the executions took place - the Green Tower - the girl saw everything that took place in this very place more than four centuries ago. This is what she saw: Queen Anne was on her knees, leaning slightly forward. Her executioner with a sword (not an ax) approached her from behind absolutely silently, since he was not wearing shoes. It is quite possible that he first took off his boots so that Anna could not hear him approaching, and so that mortal fear would not take possession of her ahead of time. Anne Boleyn didn't even have time to make a move before the executioner cut off her head with one blow. And a second later he lifted the severed head by the hair and showed it to the audience. And the crowd saw a dead face, disfigured by a grimace of horror.

All those present took the girl’s story with a grain of salt, since other tourists did not see the execution scene. However, just two months later, several historians confirmed that, indeed, the execution of Queen Anne took place exactly as the girl had dreamed it. In addition, scientists have established that the sentence was carried out by an executioner known for his very delicate treatment of his victims, who was invited from France specifically for this purpose.

It is also necessary to mention that terrible and inexplicable events within the walls of the Tower still occur today. Once it happened that one guard was making a routine tour of the territory. And at the moment when he passed near St. Peter's Chapel, a strong desire arose in him to look out the window.

The man put a ladder against the wall, stood up and looked inside. He almost fainted from what he saw there.

Several people were walking slowly in the middle of the chapel. historical figures, who were familiar to the guard from the portraits hanging in the castle. A young black-haired woman very similar to Anne Boleyn walked ahead. She was followed by Thomas More, who was a statesman and, being accused of treason, was executed in 1535. Next came the Duchess of Salisbury, as well as Jane Gray, arm in arm with her husband, Lord Dudley. At the end of the procession followed the participants of the 1745 Buna. All these people were beheaded in the Green Tower, and made a terrible impression with their appearance: all of them had red bloody stripes on their necks, and their faces were deathly pale, bluish in color, and their eyes burned like coals.

It quite logically begs the question why ghosts are most often shown to people in London. One version claims that this is directly because in the British capital a large number of children are born at midnight. There is a widespread belief in mediumship circles that people like this able to see and feel ghosts, and even communicate directly with them. However, this hypothesis cannot explain why the ghosts of London also appear to visiting tourists from all over the world.

Probably every resident of Foggy Albion, in the depths of their souls, is already ready to meet a ghost, although they are unlikely to ever admit it.

A programmer at Coventry University named Vic Tandy also thought that all these ghost stories were complete nonsense and not worthy of attention. But one evening, while he was working, he broke out in an icy sweat. He quite clearly felt that someone was looking at him intently, and there was something sinister in that gaze. Then something materialized into an incomprehensible and shapeless mass that had an ash-gray color, ran across the room and came very close to the scientist. In the blurred contours one could still see arms and legs, and in place of the head there was fog, and in the center there was a dark spot that resembled a mouth. And a few seconds later the vision disappeared into thin air without a trace.

However, despite the terrible horror he experienced, he began to act like a real scientist, that is, to try to find the cause of an incomprehensible phenomenon. The easiest way was to attribute such a vision to hallucinations. However, where could they come from, because the programmer did not drink alcohol or drugs. Well, speaking about otherworldly forces, the scientist simply did not believe in them. So he decided that it was necessary to look for simple physical factors.

And it must be said that Tendi found them, although this happened quite by accident. To some extent, his hobby - fencing - came to his aid. Some time after the encounter with the ghost, the scientist took the sword home to prepare it for an upcoming competition in which he intended to take part. And suddenly the blade, which was clamped in a vice, began to vibrate more and more, as if someone was touching it.

Someone else might have thought this way. However, this fact prompted the scientist to think about resonant vibrations, which are to some extent similar to the vibrations caused by sound waves. For example, while loud music is playing, dishes in the cupboard may begin to rattle. However, strangely enough, there was silence in the laboratory. And the scientist immediately measured the sound background using special equipment. And here it turned out that there was incredible noise in the room, but it was not audible because the waves had a rather low frequency that the human ear could not hear. And it was ordinary infrasound. After briefly searching for the source of the sound, he found it, as it turned out, it was a recently installed air conditioning fan. After the scientist turned it off, the “spirit” disappeared and the sword stopped vibrating.

It is also worth saying that infrasound is a thing that carries a considerable number of surprises. For many decades, sailors were haunted by the mystery of the “flying Dutchmen” - ships wandering the seas without a crew. But at the same time, the ships were in perfect order, but where did the sailors go? The last "flying Dutchman" was a superb schooner called the Mary Celeste, which was one day spotted by another ship on the ocean.

Approaching the schooner, and then disembarking, the sailors of the other ship could not understand anything: there was still hot food in the ship’s galley, the ink used by the captain had not yet dried in the magazine, and there was no one there. Everyone has disappeared. For many years, this story haunted people until it was finally solved. As it turned out, the culprit was infrasound, which has a frequency of 7 hertz, which under certain conditions is directly created by ocean waves. And in people this sound is capable of feeling unimaginable horror. Often people can go crazy and are thrown overboard to escape.

The scientist decided to find out if there was a connection between infrasound and his nightmare. Measurements of the infrasound frequency in the laboratory yielded 18.98 hertz, which practically corresponds to the frequency when the human eyeball begins to resonate. Based on this, we conclude that sound waves they made Tendi's eyeballs begin to oscillate, and thus caused a visual illusion, that is, he saw a figure that did not actually exist.

Further research proved that under normal conditions, waves with such a low frequency can be formed very often. For example, infrasound can occur when strong gusts of wind collide with towers or chimneys. Most often, such sound waves can rumble in long corridors that are directly shaped like a tunnel. For this reason, there is nothing accidental in the fact that very often people meet ghosts in exactly the same kind of corridors that exist in old castles.

Vic Tendi published the results of his research in one of the scientific journals belonging to the Society for Physical Research. And this society was founded back in 1822 and unites British specialists in parapsychology and natural sciences. The task of this society is to find a reasonable explanation for paranormal phenomena. So, one should not be surprised by the fact that ghost hunting experts supported Tendi’s ideas with great enthusiasm. So one of the most famous parapsychologists named Tony Cornell believes that thanks to these ideas it will be possible to explain a considerable number of mysterious phenomena.

If we talk about other scientists, they question this theory. Physicists who directly study the influence of infrasound waves on the human body say that people directly involved in experiments complain of considerable fatigue, great pressure in the ears or eyes, but with regard to hallucinations, especially in the form of ghosts, no one has experienced such . Car drivers also experience absolutely no optical illusion, and it is well known that at the moment when a car overcomes air resistance at high speed, the level of infrasound inside the cabin is very high.

As we have already said, there are a lot of theories about ghosts. As an example, let’s take the theory of Vladimir Vitvitsky, head of the information technology department of the Moscow Polytechnic Museum. This scientist has been studying optical deceptions and illusions for a long time; he believes that most of the strange visions can be explained by simple laws of physics. He believes that in this case, it's all about the properties of light. In his personal opinion, the human eye does not perceive the objects themselves as such, but only the light reflected from them.

After this, with the help of the retina, light and at the same time dark spots with the presence of halftones are translated into a digital code, or, to put it simply, into electrical impulses, which then enter the human brain. After this, the brain deciphers them and, based on the results of the data obtained, forms an image of objects in the human mind. This is a completely standard, usual scheme for the formation of what people consider to be a picture of the real world. However, it should be noted that it can be violated, which is done in the following way: the light must be reflected not according to the principles to which the human eye and brain are accustomed.

Consequently, many tricks that illusionists perform in the circus are built on this principle. The easiest way to do this is with the help of mirror systems, which redirect the light streams that are reflected from real objects to some other point, where they will thus be produced and appear before the viewer.

Mother Nature is also capable of performing such tricks. We all know what a mirage is - and so they are the most known phenomenon from this category. Often travelers can see a lake in the middle of the desert, or even an entire city; they head towards it, but in the end it turns out that this is just an optical illusion. According to physicists, in reality a lake or city exists, but they are located somewhere far beyond the horizon, perhaps even a thousand miles away. And of course, it’s impossible to see the city from such a distance.

However, air at different altitudes has different densities, this directly depends on the distribution of humidity and temperature. Scientists have found that light will be reflected from a denser layer as if from a mirror surface. There can be a lot of mirrors of this type at a particular moment, so they take the images of the lake very far from its actual location, and then simply fix it in some other place.

However, unfortunately, not everything is possible only with the help of physical properties. Yuri Sivolap, a professor at the Moscow Medical Academy, said that in some cases illusions can arise in a person’s mind. But at the same time, from a psychiatric point of view, a supernatural phenomenon can arise due to two components: lack of information, as well as a person’s imagination. With all this, people’s readiness to perceive objects can play a very important role. People are simply expecting a miracle, and those who wait will almost always see what they want, Yuri Sivolap is sure. Such phenomena can quite often occur in people with a creative mind, or in those who are overly keen on the study of paranormal phenomena.

It also happens that people do not want to see something, only out of fear. And in this state, for example, they will walk through a cemetery at night, and suddenly, instead of a cross, they may see some mystical figure, which, in addition to everything else, will begin to approach them. However, normal people will not be able to see the details of the ghost. According to the professor, this requires either self-hypnosis or illness. Among other things, the main difference between a hallucination and an illusion is that an illusion cannot arise out of nothing; it appears as a result of a distorted vision of other objects. But hallucination is, in turn, the fruit of a painful consciousness.

However, it is not only special impressionability that forces a person to see something that does not actually exist. According to Yuri Sivolap, people have experienced states when dreams literally penetrate into their seemingly awake consciousness. For example, during very long long-distance travel, a tired human brain may well enter a state that lies between sleep and reality. Using this method, people can see some objects when their eyes are open, after which the data is transmitted to the brain, where the sleep mechanism starts in parallel, and the image from there can be superimposed on reality.

It would seem that, on the one hand, the solution to the appearance of ghosts has been found, but on the other hand, a considerable number of questions remain for which there are no answers. Well, as for ghosts, they still continue to be found, and not only on the shores of Foggy Albion. It is very difficult to categorically assert that this is an optical illusion or that they are truly guests from another world. Believing in the existence of ghosts or denying their existence is a personal matter for everyone.

In Germany, maps still depict the symbols used on maps of ancient times: “acorns,” “hearts,” “bells,” and “leaves.”

Are there ghosts in real life

Esotericists and skeptics are constantly arguing about whether ghosts exist in real life - or are they just fiction for gullible lovers of mysticism. However, the desire to touch the unknown is too great, so any mention of proven “habitats” of ghosts instantly attracts thousands of tourists. This is especially actively used in England.

• Residents of Foggy Albion sincerely believe that every castle and mansion is simply obliged to have its own mysterious story, and your own ghost.

Eyewitness Accounts: Ghosts Really Exist!

When ghosts help

British realtors will never hide evidence from buyers that ghosts exist if they have chosen a secluded corner in the house they are selling. Vice versa! The presence of such “neighbors” significantly increases the value of real estate. In some cities, they try to create the most favorable conditions for ghosts. If the presence of mysterious entities is proven by witness testimony, the house will never be demolished; it will also be repaired at the expense of the municipality.

Tower

The British are not afraid of otherworldly guests (even those who should cause awe “by default”). Here, every schoolchild knows where ghosts exist - these are the places of the most monstrous crimes! The Tower is literally “teeming” with them. And it’s not surprising, because the walls of this ancient prison are literally saturated with horror. It is here that the restless souls of the young princes wander, whom their uncle Richard III killed in the Bloody Tower. Here the sad Lady Jane lights mysterious lights and the rebellious Sir Walter Raleigh, a mocker and intriguer, wanders the walls.

Where do they come from?

Why can't some deceased people find peace? What ghosts exist in our reality, side by side with the living?

• The most common belief is that victims of gross injustice or excessive cruelty turn into ghosts.

In the same Tower, visitors and staff periodically see the phantom of the elderly Countess Margaret Pole, who, a minute before her death, tries to run away and hide from her killers. Or the headless ghost of the beautiful Anne Boleyn, brutally executed on the orders of her “loving” husband.

Do ghosts exist - evidence

A personal meeting

The surest way to be sure of the presence of ghosts is to meet them in person (usually it is advised to go to cemeteries, places of massacres, executions, terrible disasters, and old houses with a frightening past). It is clear that even with such a walk only a few curious people will be lucky. But mediums offer to take part in communication sessions with other world to everyone who wants it.
