      Personally, I don’t think ghosts are real. I think most of the time it’s the mind playing tricks on us!

      Nobody knows, sorry. How they can be seen would depend on exactly what they were.

      Ghost stories are full of ghosts walking through walls and things so let’s assume that they are energy rather than matter. To detect energy we need to know it’s wavelength. Once we have that it should be relatively straightforward.
