This is the first unedited (except for spelling mistakes) philosophy journal entry that I’m posting up here. This one’s for Nessa.

I see ghosts as spirits or souls, nothing more. They are the spirits of people that we know. There’s really nothing to be afraid of. We all have a spirit or a soul. That means we have ghosts living inside us. If you’re afraid of ghosts, you’re really afraid of a major part of yourself, because the body cannot function without a soul.

I don’t think it’s possible for any regular human to see ghosts. Instead, we feel them. We feel their presence, or lack of. It can be quite easy to understand how this works. When people are around us, we feel and know that they are living. We can sense the presence of their spirit within them. When somebody dies, people describe them as ‘lifeless’. That life that was once in the room is now fone, leaving behind a motionless body. Their presence can no longer be felt, because their spirit or ghost is gone. If we could see ghosts, we would have seen it leave the body in which it used to reside. Instead, we feel the lack of life in the empty body.
