Are Ghosts Real or Just a Product of Our Minds?

[waht]

Here is the way I see it. You can hypothesize the existence of a tea cup in orbit between Mars and Jupiter. You can't prove this claim because you don't have the means, but it doesn't mean there is a 50% chance for this to be true or false. You can narrow this down based on analyzing what would it take to put the tea cup in orbit, check the facts, interview NASA engineers that built Pioneer space probe to find out if someone hid a tea cup in the power distribution unit. Then you arrive at a probability of 0.00000000001 that a tea cup might be in orbit. There is still a chance that the military could have launched a secret mission to Mars putting the tea cup in orbit, but can't prove it. Having arrived at such low portability, you can assume this claim to be false.

It is the same with the hypothesized existence of ghosts. The motivation for this hypothesis comes from anecdotal evidence which in (*most cases) is unique. Since no physical evidence has been offered, the only remaining subject to study is the person itself. Psychology, sociology, and neurology enlighten us with tantalizing clues of how our minds really work. For example, it has been found that people are influenced by the height of ceiling in a room, the color of the walls, and its geometry. People see faces in clouds, and hear voices in noise.

Taking this into consideration, the probability for the existence of ghosts is low, as the evidence is showing humans are flawed. I can safely assume they don't exist at all until there is real evidence, just like the tea in orbit, or a fairy placing a quarter under my pillow made by the US Mint.
