Are ghosts proof of an afterlife
180 sats \ 2 comments \ @stack_harder 5 Jan spirituality
i've always been interested in anything ghost-related since I was a kid, probably because I loved the Ghostbusters so much lol.
I always thought if ghosts are real (there seems to be enough evidence to suggest they are IMO), wouldn't that imply that by default there is an afterlife?it also seems like if you believed in an afterlife, it would be logical to assume that ghosts or trapped spirits could also be real.
what do you think?

I don't believe there is enough evidence to suggest ghosts are real.

even if we accept that ghosts are real (and there's not really enough evidence to do that), it doesn't suggest that there is an afterlife.
an idea I heard is that ghosts aren't conscious spirits but are more like imprints on the fabric of reality. sort of like an echo. if you shout into a cave, you hear your voice echo back, but it doesn't mean that there is somebody in the cave shouting back at you. in the same way, ghosts could be echoes of events that are being replayed back, but it doesn't mean there is somebody or something conscious actually acting those events out.
