Ghosts: True or False?

A descriptive writing

Goosebumps. It is a always a very haunting experience to hear weird sounds at night and even more creepier if that happened at times we are alone. Some may even exaggerate that they can afford to reach the point to exclaim that they had seen ghostly images, but is it always the case or it is just a work of external factors that made them perceive such things?

Back when the clock started ticking, there were enumerable accounts of tell-tale stories about scary encounters of these human-figured images which we all know for today as “ghosts”. Generally, most people coined these unclear images as “disembodied soul” of a being that had a unfinished matter in this living world. For example, if someone dies aguishly of murder or any unpleasant cause of his death, his or her soul will come back in order to have revenge to the person who killed him. According to some accounts, these souls go along with us in this world watching us for whatever we do, but we can’t see them anytime. Their revenge may come in a form of never-ending visitation or somewhat like a haunting and they can only be stopped if the person who took his or her life will suffer the same fate. According to paranormal experts, these souls which we commonly known for today has two types. One is the good one who sometimes helps other living people by giving them warning to dangers that will come or by providing them good luck to certain things to the person they have befriended with, another is that what we call as “poltergeists” or the brute type which actually do hurt people by hitting them with something.

However, there are also people who believed that those that they call as ghost do not exist. In fact, some experts conducted a research about why some claim that they had seen a ghost that somehow can be proven.

A human brain is a very complex organ of the human body. This is where the “thinking” that happens. It is capable of concluding things that is not clear for us. Research shows that people living in places near an airport or train rails where it passes trough experience to what we call as “infrasounds”. The brain cannot identify this kind of noise for it is very minute in loudness. Thus, the brain will give false interpretations to that. In effect, we will start now to think if things which we usually exaggerate. For example, a simple movement of a curtain can be incorrectly interpreted as a ghost. Noise caused by thing or any devices are not the only reasons to produce infrasounds. For those people who lived in isolated place, animals can produce the same sounds which also have the same effect to the brain,and again, there can be wrong interpretations by the brain.

However, to some people, such experience may be very true to them and that what they see as real, we should also respect their point of view. We should also consider for now that there are still things that science alone cannot explain.
