"Is it true?" is always the first question we ask. "Have you seen one?" then this follows.
There are many stories about them. Some passed through generations and some are newly created. Out of illusion. Others, out of reality.
Actually, it is not about the realness of this spirit we are curious about. It is about being one. What do they feel, what they are up to, how did they become one, what will happen next? It is all about the unknown we are facing, the "after life in the spirit world" as we call it. According to people, the experience of seeing "something" brings a very strong sensation. Hairs rise like what those in cartoons and you just go blank afterwards.
Humans, by nature, fear the unknown because they are afraid of what they might discover. But they are so eager to learn because they are born curious. Still, their instinct of survival overcomes the fear. Some of us shut their eyes whenever we feel we are in the situation of finally seeing a ghost but still peek to see how they look like.
What would you do when suddenly a headless man passes in front of you while you’re watching TV? Will you scream, run, freeze or yell at him to go away because he’s getting in your view? Hah, whatever it is you would do, you’ll never know until you are in that situation. It will depend whether you have already experienced one.
Regardless of others experiences, would you really want to see one? For what reason? To tell others you had experienced it? Or to know what they are up to?
I think the latter must be the reason. After all, nothing exists for nothing. And learning something from them is not a bad purpose too. I’m thinking of asking about their past. What really did occur then and what are the consequences that resulted from those events. With that, I might able to do something in the future. Maybe not that of a big change, but still and hopefully, I can do at least a little change.
One more thing, like one of my questions before, I want to find out why they are here and for some reason, why does God created them in the first place. I know that there’s a fact that all of us here in the world are "ghosts" in our own ways because according to many, we all have souls. The only thing we are different from them is that we have this physical body. We are ghosts because we are still searching for answers for our tons of questions. (Gee, like what ghost stories usually narrate). Why, why, why. Maybe the answers will all depend on what they did. For all our actions will bring about a certain result. A circumstance created by the choices we made. Maybe they also serve as "reminders" to all of us who are still living, that it is all life’s consequences: that they are the naked examples of our conscience.
But no matter what is the justification of their existence, whether they are real or not, they are not here to harm us. We may get afraid of them for they are kind of "different", but one thing I am certain. That the real ghosts who can really hurt us are the ones we created ourselves.
Ghost, n. the soul of a dead person, a disembodied spirit imagined as wandering among or haunting living persons. Now its up to you to believe or not.
