A lot of people will no doubt think that the question in the title of this post is a no-brainer. Others are here because they have had some kind of experience they just do not know how to come to terms with.
As with my previous posts, I just want to lay out what I found to both prove and disprove the notion based on what is indicated by the average internet result.
Some of these results may be redundant… that is to be expected. 🙂

Perhaps the first find had it right. Whatever a person believes in may well be real to them. That might certainly explain the disconnect for those who don’t and why there are so many people claiming to see or interact with ghosts. Isn’t it strange though that virtually every culture in the world has some version of ghost of spirit type apparition?
