A friend and I are arguing over ghosts.

I think it’s akin to astrology, homeopathy and palm reading. He says there’s “convincing “ evidence for its existence. He also took up company time to make a meme to illustrate our relative positions. (See image)

(To be fair, I’m also on the clock right now)

What do you think?

    Lmao what evidence? Everybody has a phone nowadays, how come there is no proof?

    If ghosts are dead people, with the passing of time there should be more ghosts and be easier to spot.

    If ghosts are from people who died violent deaths or whatever, how come nobody sees them in places such as Auschwitz, Hiroshima etc.?

    More simply: if ghosts existed there would be many people who have seen them. How come there’s a lot of people who believe in ghosts but almost nobody who has seen them (allegedly)? It’s the classic “I want to believe”

      One estimate I can see of the total cumulative human population is about 100 billion people, if there was just a 1% chance of becoming a ghost when you die there should still be about a billion of them on Earth currently.

      Imagine if 1 in 9 people on Earth was actually a ghost.

      Funny how the better and higher resolution phones get, the blurrier alien proof gets. and there was more photographic proof before literally everyone got cameras on them 24/7…and of course, aliens only care about landing in the US.
