So god</p><p>Or whoever decided ok if you die a tragic death or suddenly you get to stay here? .....but the ghost doesn't know it's dead.....how long does it take to realize you are dead? You would think after 80 yr and doing the same thing over and over again you would realize something was up lol. Also why would you haunt a cemetary?

[QUOTE="tpeezy4sheezy, post: 120400, member: 7443"] First of all let me go ahead and sAy that I am a believer in the ghost phenomenon. That being said, I am a bit skeptical at times as well. I'm not too sure if ghosts are exactly spiritual in nature or are possible a small "rip" in time or alternate universes where we are seeing people or things from another time or place and they from time to time see us. I have a question that bothers me from time to time. First of all how come it seems that ghosts seem to almost always come from the last few hundred years mostly the Victorian era and not ancient times. How come in Egypt we don't hear of 4000 year old ghosts running around or ancient roman ghosts or the spirits of ancient Viking soldiers fighting one another? I know there are some reports of older spirits but it just seems the majority are from the recent past. Also why does a haunting almost always have to have some kind of tragic back story to go along with it.
