   yes they are very real. I use to live in a haunted house, if you never have had an experience then it is hard for you to understand

   As far as anybody has carefully observed, ghosts do not exist in nature. Whenever somebody does a serious scientific search for ghosts, they always come up with inconclusive results.

   Now, it may be that ghosts are real, but it is extraordinarily unlikely. Like with anything, it is impossible to “prove” or “disprove” anything about nature, and the only way to gain any knowledge is through experiment. Because no well-controlled experiment so far has detected ghosts, it is very unlikely that they exist.

   Of course, the instrumentation we’ve developed so far for detecting ghosts may not be right, it may not be capable of finding them, and maybe someday better instrumentation will actually detect some sort of spiritual presence. However until this happens, there is no good reason to believe ghosts are real. If we set parameters to look for them, and then find that under those parameters they aren’t there (all parameters so far have failed) then they are not there.

   All these ghost hunter shows, and junk like that, are made for entertainment and nothing more. Doubt is a far more powerful tool for learning about the world than blind belief.
