Can Science Prove There Are No Ghosts

[james bond]

Ghosts or spirits remain in the realm of the supernatural. I didn't believe in them except for the Holy Ghost, even though I believe in the supernatural, but now I'm not so sure. If science can prove there are no ghosts, then I suppose the atheists and their scientists have some disproof of God and the supernatural.

The weirdest one I've encountered is the ghost at Stanley Hotel. It was the hotel made famous by The Shining.

I do not have an explanation for this. Of course, the atheists won't believe because it's the supernatural. Christians believe in angels and demons, but there's argument over ghosts. One can clearly see a figure of a woman and child once they blow up the embedded photo. I'm beginning to think the photographer wasn't out just to make money for himself. We have unrelated expert people and companies who have examined the photos. Any altered or Photoshopped images would have been discovered.

I believe in ghosts 100%. The Stanley Hotel would only be one millionth of the evidence.

Science can't "prove" there aren't herds of pink unicorns on the Moon. That's not how science works.

 

[Terese]

I don't think so. It's something science can't exactly prove, since signs of ghosts are in photographs or people's accounts, some which can be quite unreliable. Basically, i think science cannot determine the nature of anything outside the material world. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on this subject

Science cannot prove there is no god... So there must be a god.

Oh wait, where am I going with this...

 

[icehorse]

In general, it's hard to prove the non-existence of a thing. The lack of a proof for the non-existence of something doesn't carry any water.

Can you prove that I'm not Wonder Woman?

 

[ImmortalFlame]

So, ghosts take the form of smudges in photographs?

These are not standards of proof. Standards made by photos alone must be pretty low if you think otherwise, especially in an age of Photoshop and digital photography.

Science can't prove many things that could exist, as long as there is no way to prove them either.

 

[Kangaroo Feathers]

Science doesn't work that way.

Ghosts or spirits remain in the realm of the supernatural.

You can’t really make that statement without defining the terms “ghost” and “supernatural”. That’s one of the major sticking points in this area. Lots of people talk about science being unable to prove these things yet when challenged, the proponents refuse to present their beliefs in any kind of scientific form.

From photographs alone, all that could be said is that the image has the appearance of something but that’s no difference to seeing the shapes of faces in clouds and given that there are all sorts of long established explanations for these kind of images (elaborate frauds, random errors in photographs misinterpreted by our brains pattern matching, reflections, double exposures etc.) why would we consider a alternative with zero evidential basis that is it even possible?

Is Mysterious Figure at Stanley Hotel a Ghost?

Here's what I don't understand about "ghost" pictures. Why would your camera be able to pick up a reflection of light that your eyes couldn't?

How do digital cameras work?

How the Human Eye Sees

If the a supernatural entity doesn't reflect the light around it to be seen by the human eye, then ow does t reflect the lift around it to be seen by a camera lens?

In order the reflect light, there must be some kind of physical surface. Remember, we don't see the object, we see the reflected light of an object.

If this were real, it hadn't to be able to reflect light that only a camera could see, and not the human eye. How does that make any sense?

Incidentally who are these expert people and companies?

 

[Jumi]

So there are multiple "ghosts" claimed in this photo. Two of the boys sitting there, a woman carrying a red jacket on her left arm, a kid going up the stairs and the woman coming down the stairs? edit: in addition to the girl that the focus is on.

 

[shunyadragon]

The problem with the question is two fold: First, science cannot falsify the negative. Second, science does not "prove" a hypothesis such as the claim that ghosts exist.

The girl's carrying a target bag. LOL.

Shopping before a haunt? The woman carrying two of her own heads as ghosts down stairs might be the spookier.

 

[BSM1]

I beg to differ. Science can prove that those herds have to be a different color because of the red shift-blue shift phenomena.

Can you prove that I'm not Wonder Woman?

Send pics and let us try (of course we'll need pics of you in and out of your disguise).

Will the real ghost please stand up?

These photos were examined by experts and no PS nor human manipulation.
