Yes many people have claimed to have seen ghosts over the centuries. Although they appear at all levels of society to all manner of people it strikes me strange that a photo of a ghost has never appeared fronting newspapers or has appeared as a main story on the T.V. news. I know there are many so called photos in books and on websites but after seeing quite a few of them non have been totally convincing. After listening to guys on the CvE forum and doing a bit of reading, I have to agree that most are tricks of the eye. The eye gets clues from what it sees and tries as fast as it can to get a match from the brain. Hence optical illusions can trick the eye into thinking it is seeing something it really isn't seeing at all. It's like coming to a verdict without looking at all the evidence. Therefore shadows become looming figures.
Reincarnation is a tricky one. Its typically religious isn't it. As for children talking about living before, well? I have taught hundreds of children of all ages and I can tell you I have heard the most amazing things come out of their mouths, via their imaginations. I've seen them talking to imaginary friends, I've heard them talking about strange creatures, their toys talk to them! Is it any wonder with some of the stories we tell them, with the things they are exposed to on T.V. The imagination? brilliant.
Over time I have studied theology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, all with a view to developing my spirituality but nothing has had such an impact on me as studying evolution only recently. It has certainly been an eye opener. All these subjects and everything you see and hear shapes the person you become. I have to admit, I thought I had things nailed down till I came across evolution. Whether it is a good thing or not I'm not sure yet.
