In the article it states that ghosts are the result of spirit energy. How is this energy observed, measured and determined?

How can I know something is a ghost and not a time traveler, a visitor from another dimension or something else that is not a ghost?

What is the definition of a ghost and how is it differentiated from something that might seem or appear to be a ghost?

Thank you for all the links. Clearly this Wagner fellow is convinced and has spent a good deal of thought in crafting his explanations. But what is it about these articles that tells me that they are valid explanations of claimed phenomena?

I don't think you can prove a poltergeist haunting until your right in the middle of one.:(

I think you would have a mountain of things to establish well before you can even consider poltergeist as a valid explanation for anything. Perhaps an earthquake is really just poltergeists acting on a grand scale.

I will tell you a true story, i have quoted it on RF before but it bears repeating

I know a guy, a struggling actor, atheist but he had a strong belief in ghosts.

His agent phoned with a job to go on one of the ghost hunt type of programmes.

He was overjoyed, he regularly watched the programme, genuine ghost and chances are he would actually see one.

He arrived at the set, an old castle with a reputation for being haunted.

Almost beside himself with anticipation he said his hello's picked up his script, sat down and started reading.

When he realised that the ghost was also scripted to appear at the end of a corridor and my friend was supposed to gasp in shock he put down the script and walked out

His belief in the supernatural shattered by reality
