Ghosts...Why Are They Here?

What exactly is a ghost?

Before you can understand what an entity consists of you
need to understand a
bit about the human body of the living person. Everything
you do, see, hear, taste, feel, etc. Is controlled by electrical
impulses sent to your brain
from your body's different parts or from your brain to your
different body parts.

For example... right now you are reading this webpage, an
electrical impulse is
going from your eyes to your brain carrying the information
your eyes are seeing. As you scroll down this page your
brain is sending electrical impulses to your hand to move
your mouse, etc...

When a person dies their individual systems shut down
independently, your kidneys fail, then your respitory system
shuts down, then your heart stops beating and finally your
brain stops functioning. Since all these systems are
controlled by electrical impulses the electricity has to go
somewhere. It is a general law of physics that
energy can not be destroyed, so where does the energy go
when your body shuts down? It is released into the
atmosphere!

When a person dies a slow or natural death the energy is
released more slowly and in a less concentrated state than
if a person were to die a sudden or violent death. This is
why I believe hospitals are not the most haunted places
even though more deaths occur in them then anywhere
else.

Another theory I have been tossing around for some time
now is what makes certain locations more likely to have a
ghost than others. I believe it all boils down to
electromagnetic fields trapping the energy that is released
at time of death.

For example...Everyone has heard of at least one haunted
theatre in the area they live. Theatres are huge
electromagnetic fields, they have high voltage electrical
systems in them to support the sound and lighting
equipment that is used for their shows. Theatres used to be
very dangerous places to work at one time, it was very easy
to have a lighting rig fall down on someone and kill them, it
was also easy for someone to fall from a catwalk that is high
above the stage. The ingredients were all
there for a sudden and violent death. When that occurred
from time to time the energy that was released from the
victim's body was trapped by the much stronger
electromagnetic field and you now have a ghost.

One of the tools we use for paranormal research is an EMF
meter. These meters are designed to measure changes in
electromagnetic energy. Many times while investigating a
haunting we have discovered very high levels of
electromagnetic energy present. Alot of times this is caused
by high voltage electrical systems or by old wiring. Both will
create an electromagnetic field.

There is a strong possibility that despite the theories of
some other researchers it is not the ghost that causes the
electromagnetic energy, it is the electromagnetic
energy that causes the ghost.
