Do you believe in ghosts? Perhaps you should. There are countless reports of apparitions from all round the world, what would be the cause of them if they don't exist? On the other hand, is a ghost actually the image of a person (or animal) no longer living? Consider the following.
For many thousands of years, man has made homes out of natural materials, and a lot of these have consisted of stone or brick buildings. There are many types of stone, and many clays used to create bricks. Some of these will have trace quantities of iron, or other magnetic materials.
Magnetic particles have been found to be useful in that they can be used to store information by charging them with electronic pulses. This can take the form of data, sound or images. Images stored on several sections of a magnetic medium, then played back quickly, can give the illusion of a moving image.
If a building containing magnetic particles was subjected to some form of electrical impulse, say being hit by lightning, is it not likely that some sort of image could be either recorded, or played back, by such an occurance?
This would explain why ghosts are often seen to be performing the same actions over and over again, not because their soul is in torment, but because there has only been a very short period of time recorded. To record a prolonged sequence would take both a large building, and a highly unlikely series of lightning strikes following a continual pattern.
