so what happens to all this energy that creates our personalities after we die?
Ever watched a body burn? Or felt the gentle warmth of a decomposing corpse?
(if not, pop round to my cellar after midnight…)
Quite probably, although these things don’t generally happen in isolation and there must be some kind of interaction with the surroundings.
I am not saying they exist, or that this maybe a relevant point, I am just thinking of possible answers.
As I said, I would like to see some compelling evidence. However, as there hasn’t been any (unless anyone else has seen some) it pretty much suggests that they don’t exist. I mean, it’s not as if no one has tried to collect evidence.
My main reaction to hearing most ghost stories is, as others have mentioned, that the mind is a powerful thing.
