      I don’t think ghosts are real because I’ve never seen any evidence to convince me otherwise. I’m a sceptic when it comes to supernatural phenomena. I like to see definite evidence for things.

      Nooooooo. Not at all! There are lots of things that are there but that we can’t see. There are electromagnetic waves that carry our TV and phone signals and UV rays coming from the sun. But I don’t think that the ghostly spirits of dead people fall into this category!

      My lab mate just told me that there is some really interesting research on how the brain tricks people into thinking they have seen things like ghosts, I will try to find it and let you know!!

      I don’t think so, no. I believe that paranormal experiences can be best understood by understanding the psychology of people, and how they interpret the world. I know that isn’t what most people want to hear…but I think it makes the most sense.
