      Only in our minds…

      Every experience we see, hear, taste or feel is happening in our mind. Sometimes there is stuff outside our mind that leads to the experience (normal seeing stuff), sometimes there isn’t (dreams, hallucinations), and sometimes it’s a combination of the two (when I hear a lawnmower in the distance, I get convinced a am being chased by a wasp). I think ghosts are sometimes the second sometimes, and sometimes the third sometimes. I need a thesaurus.

      Nope. Though there’s a comedian called Milton Jones who did see what he thought was a small dead baby ghost.

      Then he noticed it was just a handkerchief…

      I don’t think so because I’ve never seen any scientific evidence for it! Having said that, I did see what looked like Elvis one evening in Waitrose car park, so who knows.
