Einstein & Ghosts

[sadie1263]

Every night, amateur ghost-hunting groups across the country head out into abandoned warehouses, old buildings and cemeteries to look for ghosts. They often bring along electronic equipment that they believe helps them locate ghostly energy.

Despite years of efforts by ghost hunters on TV and in real life, we still do not have good proof that ghosts are real. Many ghost hunters believe that strong support for the existence of ghosts can be found in modern physics. Specifically, that Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientific minds of all time, offered a scientific basis for the reality of ghosts.

A recent Google search turned up nearly 8 million results suggesting a link between ghosts and Einstein's work covering the conservation of energy. This assertion is repeated by many top experts in the field. For example, ghost researcher John Kachuba, in his book "Ghosthunters" (2007, New Page Books), writes, "Einstein proved that all the energy of the universe is constant and that it can neither be created nor destroyed. ... So what happens to that energy when we die? If it cannot be destroyed, it must then, according to Dr. Einstein, be transformed into another form of energy. What is that new energy? ... Could we call that new creation a ghost?"

This idea shows up — and is presented as evidence for ghosts — on virtually all ghost-themed websites as well. For example, a group called Tri County Paranormal states, "Albert Einstein said that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change from one form to another. When we are alive, we have electrical energy in our bodies. ... What happens to the electricity that was in our body, causing our heart to beat and making our breathing possible? There is no easy answer to that."

I love to see a ghost and I've watched these 'ghost hunter' type shows, but still no real ghost to see anywhere.

They are well make, like the article above use quite elaborate electronic equipment, temperature testing devices, (the room goes cold when the spirits are present), but still no ghost...

I believe they exist. I have had a couple of experiences that I can't quite explain.......I have doubts about some of the ghost hunter shows because I don't really think ghosts show up on cue.........but I would go on a hunt any time and even if nothing happened I would probably scare myself!

Would join you in that hunt, sadie! I've always wanted to stay in a very haunted place, just to see if I see or feel an 'presence' of anything at all.

My sons and I stayed at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio Texas a few years ago. It is next door to the Alamo and is around 150 years old. It has a long history of ghost sightings. My kids went out around 2 a.m. to see if they would see anything and wandered all over the hotel......they took pics....and pretty much only succeeded in scaring each other. But when we developed the pictures someone showed up on one of them....this isn't as clear (and I know I have posted it before) but there is something on the second floor on the left of the 2nd pillar......with the actual picture you can see the wallpaper print thru the image. There was no one around and they did not see it when they took the picture. We ended up sending the photo to the Hotel. They were very eager to have it.

Oh my gosh, yes I see the figure. How creepy is that? And it's funny how photographers say that they never noticed anything when taking the picture, but there it is when it's been developed.

With the new digital type cameras it getting harder to just brush them aside as water-marks or overlapping of pictures or some other kind of camera fault.

Thanks for sharing this. Amazing.
