Ghost physics?

Question

Okay, I'm trying to understand how ghosts interact with the physical world. Ghosts are supposed to haunt places where they were killed, right? Suppose that a guy is shot out of a cannon (like a circus performer). At the top of the arc, he dies from a heart attack or something and becomes a ghost. Now, what happens to his ghost? Would people see the ghost repeatedly flying through the parabolic trajectory that the man traveled when was killed? Or would the ghost be stationary up in the air at the precise location where the man died? Or would the ghost be stuck inside the cannon?

Answer 1

Ghosts are supposed to be spirits. The spirit is what is part of you just as you soul is. The soul goes to wherever it normally goes after you die, but sometimes the spirit sticks around. For whatever reason. Then they are ghosts. So I don't think your theory would work. In my opinion.

Answer 2

Wow, could you think of how much fun it would be to be a ghost stuck up in the air over a fair grounds or a stadium.  Just showing now and then and freaking a few thousand people every other weekend or so?  Something to think about!  You'd be famous,  you'd sell tickets,  not that you get any money out of it or anything.

Answer 3

Since you've indicated that he would have died at the top of the arc it seems unlikely that he would be stuck inside the cannon based upon your question.

They don't necessarily haunt where they were killed/died; they 'haunt' to places of significance for them...many times that is where they died; coincidentally.

You can sometimes find them returning to a previous residence/location if it held some strong memory for them or if there is something they feel that is left unresolved....like passing along a message of an unfinished task.

It all depends on the situation...there is one I know that follows a particular piece of art work around...it can change hands/owners and he will go wherever it goes.

Answer 4

I am not sure you must be killed to become a ghost. I think if you die suddenly and confused you may remain in the ghost relm, or if you really don't have enough energy to move on you may get stuck. But your question is fascinating to imagine! I would imagine the circus guy would want to hang around the canon area, and maybe try to make it hard for anyone else to go in the canon.

Answer 5

well sweetie , Ghosts go where they will. some are attached to objects or places, but do not seem to be stationery. The ones that show up at the same time and place doing the same thing are not ghosts, but kind of like an echo.

Thought you'd want an actual answer, Ive investigated the paranormal for 13 years now, thats the simplest answer I can give you.  I hope this helps good question -B-

Answer 6

Thats a little too much thinking for me, since we have not determined as yet whether the deceased is actually a ghost or a spirit.

Answer 7

Some ghosts are anchored here due to an unexpected death  or violent death. Others are anchored here due to unsolved issues, while others visit here knowingly and willingly. Is is said the the ghost of John Wayne visits the  Alamo on occasions simply because he wants to.

Not all people who die are anchored here as ghosts or choose to visit. some die and move on. the example above could happen this way. the ghost could get into the cannon and live the last few moments over and over until he realizes he is dead and moves on.

Not all hauntings are the same.

Answer 8

Ghosts only appear either in famous places, "creepy" places or places where bad things may or may not have happened.  Circuses are fun, so there's no way for you to build an eerie back story to create the spooky setting necessary for the fantasy-prone to believe that a ghost could be there.

Answer 10

This is easy, photographs of the canon will now be difficult to take because there will be orbs and vortexes getting in the way, so if they use the canon to shoot other people, make sure you mount your a ghost filter on the lens of your camera.

Also, there will be a cold spot at the point in the air where the guy died. This cold spot will mysterious remain here for centuries.

Tape recording near the canon will pick up voices of the guy saying something like "Give it all" or "Evan is here" or something else that noone will understand why he is saying it.

Thats about it.

Answer 11

Ghosts have often been discriminated against. Such acts of racism include seeing right through, walking right through, running from, exorcisms, and ghostbusters. Years ago, when The Man was keepin' em' down, it was considered acceptable to call them "ghosts", "specters", "demons", and "Michael Jackson". Today, ghosts prefer the term "Ecto Americans"or "Bodily Challenged". However, no one quite knows when the Ecto Americans/Bodily Challenged will be granted their right to vote.

Ghosts are by far the most complicated things in existence. Making a diagram of the ghost of a person would take eons because they are exessively messy creatures. Their body includes things that they don't need, except on Thursday or at their parties. (See ghost parties). Scientists have tried to figure out why ghosts are so transparent-lucent-unvisible, and in the Institution of h**l, former professor that studied the art of liberating p**p into space so other aliens would find it, Professor McDoobie Fo Muzzle in his incredibly advanced lab found out. Using the most advanced technology in dog noses and frisbees, professor McDoobie jumped sudenly to a conclusion:

“I have been researching for years, and after bum-breaking effort, the conclusion is, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO FREAKIN' IDEA, SO STOP BUGGING THE h**l OUT OF ME!!!” After that he went out to get a drink. He wasn not found ever again, probably because his mother grounded him for the rest of his life.

A ghost's body is realy slimey, soft and transparent, with many highly evolved organs like:

    * Cellphones

    * Dead Embrionic Flamingoes

    * Atomic Energy Generators

    * Special floating device

    * Cowbells

    * Martians

    * Drug provisions

    * Unmentionables

    * Playboy mags

    * Dead hamsters

Answer 12

Great question! It all depends on the level of fame the ghost has at the time of death.Regular folks like old Auntie Petunia.they pretty much stay where they lived or died.One or the other not both.Celebrity ghosts,they can travel around.Elvis for instance has been spotted in Graceland and Vegas among other places.Abe Lincoln has haunts in Illinois,the White House and used to be spotted at Ford's Theater.Frank Sinatra Palm Springs and Hoboken,NJ.Therefore, the Cannon man depends. If he was just some nut he must stay put.If he was was a famous Circus performer for instance,He could show up anywhere he wants.I hope this clears things up for you.

Answer 13

Ghosts, the soul, and an afterlife:

I believe in God, but I also believe that the written works of man related to God are corrupted by greed and self-serving interests.

Debunking the Torah, Bible, and Quran as works of God

The Universe ("all the heavens") according to the Torah and Bible, and as supported by the Quran, was created within 6 days. Even if it took a thousand years, how can we be looking at Galaxies 47 Billion light years away, when the Earth is only 4.5 billion years old? The speed of light traveling for one year, represents one year of time passing.

The Hubble telescope can only see 47 billion light years and 125 billion galaxies from Earth, but that does not mean there are not Galaxies beyond that distance.  Light comes from beyond, but the Hubble can not discern what it is yet. So the light from these distant galaxies has been traveling at least 10 times longer than the Earth has actually existed. So the Bible and Torah document a story that is blattantly false.  Not to mention that all the heavens and the Earth were supposed to have been created 6,500 years ago according to the Bible.

Any single fraudulent story in the Torah, Bible, or Quran invalidates the entire document as being reflective of God. I suspect the Torah, Bible, and Quran may have significant "social" meaning, but they are NOT reflective of God/Allah.

Why would socially significant revelations be combined with obviously incorrect relationships related to God? Social issues and specifics about God are not related!

The Corruption of Peoples Souls

What purpose would men/demons have for creating such documents?

I propose that demons are simply ancient men who have been successful in corrupting the minds of people throughout history for their own selfish reasons. They are neither gods nor god-like.

Why would men/demons want deciples to believe in them instead of believing in God? Why would Jesus or Mohammad want people to think of them throughout eternity instead of thinking of God itself? People think of God in many ways without being taught, it is a natural consequence of being human.

How the Soul becomes part of the Afterlife

Could Jesus and Mohammad have had selfish reasons to seek desciples? Of course, and here is how I believe it works.

All peoples minds are connected together by one or more forces/energies. A complex relationship between minds allows for a type of telepathy. We have all heard about twins having an uncommonly strong connection to one another, even though they may live a thousand miles apart. Family and Friends often experience similar phenomena. I've personally had experiences that are too related, to be unrelated coincident, that defy current understanding in science. But having this connection between minds explains so much. I learned about gravity and its different properties while in school. I have since learned a bit about how the human mind physically works. I connected the two and found a mechanism by which telepathy is not only possible, but probable. In science, a condition exists called "entangled particles"; two particles move instantly related to one another over great distances. The link below has links to a Picture of the instrument used to create entangled particles.

Another type of atom to atom interaction: Every atom shares gravity. Lay a string of atoms in a straight line and get them pulsating together. The effect felt by any one of the atoms to a change in any other atom of the chain is many magnitudes stronger than in relation to any atom not in the chain. Change one and you influence all of them. This effect is amplified because of resonance, like plucking a string on a guitar or piano. Increase this effect many trillions of times in the form of atoms in the brain. There are many energies and nuclear interactions that can be conveyed from one persons' mind to another. This is just to show they exist. Two people may very well be connected telepathically without knowing; their subconcious minds connected in various ways.Every person everywhere has a mental connection to every other person everywhere! We live in a world where we share our thoughts on a subconscious level. Our subconscious minds create emotional sensations that our cognitive mind uses to determine how we feel about a particular situation.

When you die, the people who knew you continue to have their memories of you. These emotional memories are shared with everyone in the world but they are most strongly associated with the space provided in loved ones minds.

After death, you continue to live in the minds of people everywhere. This is not just a memory, this would be an independent influence that lives amongst many peoples minds.

I wonder if this would explain ghosts and other spirit manifestations.

This is not God-like, it is just a connection that people have with one another. God is a much larger entity that is part of all the Universe. We may be created in God's image, perhaps in the form of what we consider our soul, not our physical form. So people/demons who want to take advantage of this proclaim personal knowledge of God. Those demons seek to control the minds of other people as desciples. The hope is to become strong in the thoughts of desciples so that demons themselves will have a strong afterlife. The desciples will still have an afterlife within those that loved them, but demonic persons will attempt to share the emotional space that would normally be reserved for family and friends. One mind can only hold so much. That is why our population must continue to grow. To help hold the minds of all those who have gone before us, and ourselves.

We must populate the Universe because we will need greater resources for food and space to live with an ever growing population. Loved ones will be within the minds of most people as they die. Thus the reason deceptive people seek god-like reverence; they themselves are greedy and seek a stronger afterlife than their desciples. When you give reverence to demons, you give them a place in the hearts and minds of those you love, when you yourself die. You don't just give up a place for your own soul, you provide a place for demons in those you love.God proclaimed "Thou shalt not kill"; now you know why this was absolute in the Ten Commandments!

Demons seek to convince their deciples to kill in their name, because when their deciples die, the demon enters the minds of their deciples friends and family. Demons prey on the connection of Love between friends and family. When the body of the demon dies it claims the space provided by previous deciple deaths.

Future deciples of the idolized written works of the demon, upon deciple deaths, contribute to the demons space and influence in the minds of future deciples, and their loved ones after their death.Those innocents killed have no real connection to the demon, so their surviving friends and family are somewhat separate. However, we the living are all connected. Demonic presence is part of all of us. Deciples of demons corrupt the souls of themselves, their family, their friends, and everyone still living.

Now put the Soul into the context of the "Ten Commandments".

Thou shalt have no other gods before me

- helping to prevent abuse of your soul by demonic persons

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image (including text), or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

- helping to prevent abuse of your soul by demonic persons who write down their teachings to corrupt future souls as deciples of the demon

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain

- no one and no thing shall speak for, or on behalf of, God if you denounce any person/demon who claims to be a god or have God's favor, then you help prevent abuse of your soul by demonic persons

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy

- the sabbath day is every day, it is the day you may die, the day your soul ascends remember that each person shall every day follow the teachings of the Ten Commandments

Honour thy father and thy mother

- become the dwelling place for the souls of your mother and father; providing a link to all peoples who came before them

Thou shalt not kill

- kill no one, because to do so destroys a dwelling place for souls

Thou shalt not commit adultery

- adulterous relationships provide less space for loved ones and those whose souls they contain

Thou shalt not steal

- thou shalt not attempt to steal space for your soul

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour

- thou shalt not attempt to defame a person to inspire a place for themselves or for others

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house

- thou shalt not attempt to build a place for one's soul based upon envy

In the context of the soul, none of the Ten Commandments has anything directly to do with social issues, and it has nothing to do with any particular religion about God that you happen to believe in. The Ten Commandments are the guidelines for helping each person best provide for their souls' transition into their afterlife.

The Final Destruction of Afterlife

However, when all people die, this afterlife provided by all people still living, shall end. When a large asteroid hits the Earth, everyone who has ever lived shall die in the mind of the last person to die. Our only hope for continued survival of our afterlife is if the human race lives beyond the confines of the Earth, on other planets, moons, and in habitats other than Earth.

How Prayer Works

When you pray, God hears your every word; but to a degree, so does every person living, and every person who has gone before us. If you desire to speak to loved ones who have left this world before you, do so; your mental effort to do so will be felt by them.

Before your loved ones pass, open your minds to them and grant them a place within your mind and heart.

Proof of Afterlife existing within the Minds of the Living

The problem with most religions is that they are based solely upon faith. The very definition of religion is that there is no proof related to its principles. However, what I propose is not a religion because the concepts presented should be provable.

The soul and afterlife of a person is in no way related to the particular religion that they believe in related to God. God in no way is reflected in religious texts, but this does not invalidate the physical presence of the soul in the minds and hearts of all people living everywhere. The soul and afterlife are a physical thing like the thoughts in our minds.

If the soul of a person lives on through the subconscious of the living, then there are physical properties of the human brain and body that should reflect the influence.

For instance, if telepathy can be proven, then the likelihood of a persons' intelligence communicating at the subconscious level with another person becomes highly probable.

There has been much related research with considerable findings both supporting and debunking telepathic experiences. The most recent I've seen was on "Myth Busters" where they induced the subject to scratch his nose. But this was not an adequately controlled situation. But the evidence is noteworthy.

If emotions (subconscious states) are transmitted telepathically, then the essence of a persons' subconscious mind has a copy in other peoples. If the cognitive relationships associated with a person can also be transmitted telepathically, then an image of that person may reside in one or more other peoples.

A person interacting as a person previously unknown, provides strong evidence that an afterlife under these conditions (sequence of interconnected tests confirmed by observations) exists. I have heard of such occurences, but I do not know if they have been documented adequately.

Perhaps ghosts are subconscious images of the departed, who live on by some degree within the living.  By viewing a place, it may trigger mental images that draws ghosts to occupy the minds of the people present.

Just a thought,
