Rifts in reality?

There was a fleeting conversation that got me thinking again on something I have pondered over for a long time.

Somewhere in the back of our minds lurks that question… ‘What would I do if I saw a ghost?’

There is, perhaps, an even better question. Who says you haven’t? How would you know? Unless they adapt their appearance to our preconceptions, how can you be sure that the person you pass in the street is real?

We don’t even know what a ghost is. Everyone seems to have an opinion. Are they the shades of the departed? Undispersed etheric energy, some form of earth energy? Optical illusion or a vision of the soul? Phantom memories of past events imprinted on the ether? Figments of our imagination, created from within our own minds somehow? Or just plain bunkum. There seems to be a general consensus that they are something…

I think I recognise this tree Sue. It reminds me of dancers.

In answer to the question, “Have you seen a ghost?”, my answer is a resounding “Yes.” On more than one occasion. But, only one took a completely human form. The others were more like mists or orbs. I am a believer!
