Wow, this is an detailed elaboration of your point and explanation. First and foremost, that guy that scared you guys as kids was just very insensitive.
Secondly indeed Science would pretty much discount the existence of Ghosts because Ghosts may not have consciousness since there would be no brain matter for that.
However Christianity believes this. I just wonder why some souls or spirits would still remain on earth after death
That's right my friend @skyehi, science cannot explain the existence of spiritual beings, where ghosts could be classified. For some souls that do not find rest, or for some reason, were trapped in the physical dimension, but with a spectral body. Anyway, it is simply a matter of beliefs.
Personally, I do not believe that trapped souls exist. I do believe that we are eternal beings. That physical death is not the end. But it is, as I said a faith, a belief.
For other people ghosts exist and there are even those who claim to be able to contact them.
Hahahah I think this talk is piquing my interest, to write a fiction story.
Interesting this topic 🤔🤔🤔🤔.
You should totally write the fiction story friend it will definitely be successful 👍🥰
