When you catch a glimpse of a ghost, why do they vanish when you turn to look at them...?

Question

...or after you blink your eyes?

Answer 1

Have you considered the possibility that what you saw wasn't a ghost?  If it's there out of the corner of your eye but isn't when you look then who's to say it was there to begin with?  We don't read or drive out of the corner of our eyes because the vision is unreliable, so why would anybody trust what they see out of the corner of their eye, especially when it comes to something as unusual as ghosts?

Answer 2

The most common appearance from a sighting of a ghost is from the corner of your eye, but not always.

Answer 3

For some reason people side vision is different to there frontal vision.You can see ghosts out of the corner of you eye but not with frontal vision for some reason.People think its the ghost who moves quicker than the human eye.Its not that at all.I do not know why side vision is like this.

Answer 4

maybe cuz u think u see something but u really didn't it happens to me all the time. if u really think it's a ghost and ur a physco then heres my idea: Maybe the ghost doesnt want u to see him

Answer 5

Often what is seen is just your eyes adjusting to changing light and is an after image, like when a camera flashes and you see those spots for a little bit.

On the other hand, most spirits/ghosts/entities don't have enough energy for more than a quick flash, as Big Mamma pointed out. It's all a matter of perspective really, and as a researcher, I have to point out the mundane first, and if it can't be explained rationally . . . well that leaves the paranormal.

Answer 6

because its just your mind

Answer 7

Either that is all the energy that they had, or they didn't really want to be seen completely.  You know just enough to let thier prescence be known, sorta thing.

Answer 8

I don' know!!!

They are probably like that but I thought they can't see us?

Answer 9

Maybe they do not want you to know they are there.....

Answer 10

Maybe they're shy!
