It's far more likely I'm remembering wrong or my eyes or ears are tricking me than any supernatural explanation.

Hell, even assuming some supernatural explanation, ghosts are no more likely in that instance than fairies or leprechauns or demons or witches or invisible unicorns. Somehow ghosts seem more likely to people, but it's only because of the number of people who believe in ghosts; there is still no substantive evidence for their existence, any more so than thousands of other baseless supernatural beings.
even saying ur just seeing thing and hearing things. still how could you compare ghosts to fairies, leprechauns, demons, witches, invisible unicorns. the reason a ghost is more likely is because
they're not a magical horned horse or a midget leading you to his pot o' gold or a tiny flying pixie that looks human. demons started with peoples belief in god and hell. the thought of a human spirit is comforting to many people. thats why you see so many people saying they saw a ghost.

i honestly have to ask what would you say if you saw someone that you thought was dead a person whose funeral you went to? are you going to say your hallucinating or are you going to try and prove what you saw? i chose to believe in the hope that there is an afterlife. i can't go on living every day saying that you only have your life then thats it.

i belive not out of fear but sadness because what if im wrong? that means we all die for nothing. that means life is pointless. what good would it do to live and die for nothing. that would make medicine pointless.

im not saying you have to believe but im asking you to consider this if we all die for nothing than whats the point of living our lives if were just going to die?
