A neophyte ghost might. He or she may want to see what is going on inside but may not be able to pass through walls or manipulate objects yet. Looking through the window or tailgating through doors may be their only choices for a while.

You are missing my point. Why would a ghost stand infront of a window when he doesn't want to be seen? He could stand at a distance and avoid detection. Also, if there really are ghosts, how do they hide so well? Certainly there's nothing special about you, that only YOU can see them.

It is possible that on a subconcious level, they do want to be seen, hence their appearances. It could be that they don't expect to be seen because most folks aren't on the wavelength to see ghosts, and the few that can are few and far between. This is, of course, assuming that ghosts exist. I have not seen any proof to the contrary, so I try to stay open-minded. And no, I don't see ghosts, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Ghosts have a subconscious mind? People don't walk into ghosts walking down the street, so how can they have a physical mind?

There is no special supernatural wavelength that some eyes can detect.

You need proof to that invisible things don't exist?

A) Thoughts move through physical minds with electrical impulses. Electrical impulses can move through particles in the air. 2) Ghosts are supposed to be spirits of once living things. If they do exist, then they obviously had a mind at one point, so yes, it's possible that they could have a subconsios mind without having a physical brain. I ain't sayin' it's so, just it's possible.

OK, I should have put "wavelength" in quotes. I was hinting at a state of mind (psychological wavelength, maybe?). Could be that they are more open minded, or just nut jobs.

The wind is invisible, but its effects are visible, hence we have proof. Infrared light is invisible to the human eye, but we have found instrumentation that can detect it, hence we know it exists. Black holes are invisible. It was once thought that everything in the universe orbited the earth and that the earth was flat. To speak any different was considered blasphemy. Both ideas were later proven wrong. So, yes, I need proof that they don't exist. I also need proof that they do exist. Until then, I'm on the fence regarding ghosts.

Boulderhead! from what i have observed, i thought that you did not believe in any 'spritual' things.... or am i wrong?

You need perhaps to read more of my posts. I feel I have explained my position about such matters as pertaining to dogma. My take on the preaching of others may be summed up like this;

"No man who ever lived knows any more about the hereafter ... than you and I; and all religion ... is simply evolved out of chicanery, fear, greed, imagination and poetry." -Edgar Allan Poe

Therefore, do not preach nonsense to me. If you have experienced something out of the ordinary personally, then I have no problem with that in and of itself. It is, however, true for YOU and ONLY YOU. Incidentally, the existence of a 'spirit' of some individual is not proof of God. If it proves anything it would prove a spirit world.

"I am an atheist because there is no evidence for the existence of God. That should be all that needs to be said about it: no evidence, no belief." -Dan Barker

You must lead a very nervous life, there could be invisible dangers all around you! Without proof of their NONEXISTENCE, you will always be worried.

lol. As Richard Dawkins said, "There's this thing called being so open-minded your brains drop out."

Ghosts are not AIR, they are invisible, just because air is invisible and ghosts are invisible doesn't make them the same. This ghost would be meaningless without a physical mind, it would have no memory.

Everybody's senses can detect the wind, universal proof, hardly worth using in comparison to ghosts.

There is more undebatebly scientific proof. And as for black holes, those have plenty of mathematical proof and ontop of that we have observational proof.

Actually, I don't lead a nervous life. As for proof of non-existance, or existance for that matter, of ghosts or other paranormal phenomenae, I don't require it to effect my stress level in a positive or negative way, I just like to have it.

Do you follow any particular religion? Do you believe in any sort of diety (God, Allah, Bishnu, Buddha, to name a few)? If the answer is no, I'm not sure how you get through everyday life, but that's your business, not mine. If you do, prove to me that they do exist (I know it's off topic, more of a rethorical request). I believe in a diety or a group of dieties as much as I do in ghosts. It is possible that they exist, but they cannot be seen. Show me scientific evidence that they do or don't exist.

My other comments, I'll let stand or die on their own merit or lack thereof. It may make me sound a fool, but at least I would come by the title honestly.
