There are 2 people side by side. One sees a ghost & the other can't see what the other does.?

Question

One will see something but it won't be the same as what the other sees.

Does that mean that ones senses are more hightened or could it be that the other may have a stronger sense elese where?

Answer 1

I honestly believe that it is the wiring in the brain.  One time when my husband was in the hospital, I went downstairs for a cup of coffee, and had a VERY interesting conversation with two nerulogost.  One was Jewish, and one was Athiest, and they BOTH told me that they had noticed that people who "claim" to see ghosts, or spirits, have a different pattern, and use a part of thier brain that other people usually don't.

Of course it was akward when one of them walked into my husbands hospital room two hours later, LOL!!!!!!

Thier average number though was two out of eight, but only one out of ten, would "admit" to have seeing or hearing anything unusual.

Answer 2

Every person experiences things differently.  Every person processes his experiences differently.  Every person reconciles these experiences differently.

So you can have two people observe the same event.  When it comes to understanding what happened you will get two different stories.  The stories may be nearly identical but, depending on a number of factors, the two stories may be quite different.  This can be due to bad/inaccurate memory, but it can also be due to certain expectations at the time of the event or a failure to comprehend the event in the first place.

Answer 3

maybe it only wants to show its self to one party, but not the other.

Answer 4

I would agree that it's heightened sensitivity.  For many years my fiancee and I would argue precisely because I would see and hear things she couldn't.

But when I started to circulated amongst Reiki and qigong people, I got validation close to 90% of the time.  The occassional Wiccan or Native American, would acknowledge our experiences but have different explanations.

The skeptics will always try to come up with "scientific" explanations of why it wasn't a spirit, ghost, or paranormal event.  The underlying premise being, of course, that spirits, ghost and other worldly things are abnormal or paranormal; yet a world where a billion people have lived and died and not one trace should be left behind is considered normal.

When one person sees something but one doesn't you could have a hallucination, if that individual was sleep deprived, in a weakened emotional or physical state, etc.  But if a classroom full of healthy people experience the same thing, what possible scientific explanation could there be?

Answer 5

Maybe you should have said ..when 3 people are together and 2 people see the ghost and the other one doesn't. Maybe that would eliminate the possibility of something mental causing it in the one person who saw it. At least they have a witness. (of course..it can be said that they were both crazy or imagining it.) What about when a crowd of people see it..but one doesn't. I'd say that the one who didn't see it was "blinded" from seeing it. (I know being "blinded" is possible...It's happened to me lots of times...and to others on here.) I wonder what causes it..but I think I've asked that question before and didn't get good answers.

Answer 6

My take is to agree with wushuboy's answer--someone expecting to be scared, or not wanting to be scared, can really mess up an otherwise impartial investigation. The person that says:'what was that? Did you hear that?' every 5 seconds is a big impediment to objective observation.

Answer 7

I agree prbbly wants to party.

Answer 8

The other option is that it might not be a ghost at all, but something biological, like a misinterpetation of information in the periferal vision, or a hallicination brought on by sleep deprivation, or a misfired synapse in the brain which triggers false memories, fear induced hallicination, or misinterpetation of sounds.

There are many things that can cause someone to believe they have seen a ghost, and the other person would not see anything, because there is nothing there to be seen.

If there is without doubt a ghost there to be seen (I don't know how you would figure this out), then it would be that one person has a gift that the person standing next to him/her does not have. I would put my money on the fact the first paragraph of this answer.
