Could someone explain the supposed logic behind this ghost statement?

Question

It was posted by someone who claims they believe in the paranormal through logic and reason:

Here's some great logic that I'm sure the skeptics will hate.

1) If you have ghosts, then the ghosts have been there a long time.

That is a direct copy and paste. The only way I can see this being logical is if there were some force that used to create ghosts but doesn't anymore. Anyone else have some "logical" explanations?

Answer 1

I did leave out the word "probably" which was an oversight on my part. Apologies for construing that there's only one possible way that anything could ever be.

Answer 2

My belief is that spirits always existed and we are partnered by our spirit in our physical role, when our bodies die our spirit returns to it's natural state. If it chooses it may reincarnate.

Answer 3

Ghosts can only manifest and make you aware of their presence after a long time?

Answer 4

Oh, I remember that. Yeah, in retrospect I think he was being sarcastic, since none of his answer was logic-based but more founded in lore and faith-based beliefs.  

Answer 5

If paranormal investigators used logic.We'd have far fewer investigators.

Answer 6

ghosts don't exist

Answer 7

That statement isn't even a logical construction. It is simply an if-then statement.  

Answer 8

There is no logical explanation for ghosts.  That's why some people who have never experienced it personally will never believe in it, and I don't blame them.

Answer 9

Any reason I can think of sounds stupid, leaving me with the conclusion that there is no logic behind the statement.
