they sometimes decay slowly, depending on the chemical constituency of the corpse and the environment that the corpse is in.

1) It starts with a picture of that alien hoax. Good start.
Take this one for example. The symmetrical reflection above the right girl is supposed to be a ghost. But look at it. It's just a reflection. It might look a bit like a human face, but that's just coincidence. Same category as the Mars Face (or the Mars Pyramids, Mars Cities and Mars Gazebos).
An angel in the sky. Of course not. Very nice cloud pattern resembling an angel in the sky. It's quite beautiful. But pure coincidence.
Eh? I don't know what the hell this man this man is doing, but even if that goo on his head is somehow unexplained.. why does it have to have anything to do at all with ghosts? The fact that the stuff wasn't seen at the time strongly suggests a freak reflection or lens flare sort of thing.
NO LEGS.. well.. not that freaky. It's called movement. Making a picture of someting moving, especially when that something is not in focus, can easily produce this kind of "ghost".
Smokey Ghosts. There are literally 1000s of pictures like this. Always taken at night, and always with flashlight. It's just light reflection of particles (fog, smoke)!

I believe that there may be ghosts out there. I've heard of some pretty strange stuff that can't all be hoaxes. And I definitely belive in the afterlife. I can't picture just dying, and then blackness for all eternity.

OK, I haven't read any replies, and I'm going to reply to the first post right now.
Mum was telling me about this lady at the 'beauty place' she goes to - you know hair etc. Anyway her daughter is well... quite perceptive of these things. (The lady/mother isn't the person who does mum's hair it was another girl telling mum about the other hairdresser's daughter.)
Anyway this girl supposedly has very big blue eyes - that freak some people out - cause she's supposed to look through you sort of - not at you. Anyway the story goes that the girl - say her name is (and I think it is) Brittany - had always said a few strange things to her mother - as she was growing up - like when they'd pass the cemetary - Brittany would say to her mother "look at all the people waving!" And the mother didn't think much of it - putting it down to a childs overactive imagination. Anyway there were a few other things (Brittany is only 10 or so now) anyway she'd also told her mother about the Man in the army uniform that comes to her in her room - supposedly he used to live in her house and was killed in WWI - she says he is very nice to her and he often talks? or shows her his horse (I gather he was a light horse-man.).
THEN there was another time when she had started school, and there was a field-trip to a big Cemetary here in Brisbane - Toowong Cemetary - and it's quite big, lot of historical names, there are tour etc. Anyway Brittany's mother had a phone-call towards the end of the day from her school saying could she come and pick up Brittany - cause she is very stressed out, and that she was really quite stressed the whole time at the Cemetary. Anyway supposedly the girl was white as a sheet when her mother went to pick her up from school that afternoon. According to Brittany she was very tired from all the 'people' constantly at her trying to talk to her etc. etc. at the Cemetary. The Dead were talking to her ( I guess she must have been some sort of magnet for them - maybe they knew that she could see them etc.
That's all I've really heard about it - but it's really interesting.

I think the bit about the Horse is intruiging - supposedly she was only very young when she first talked to the man in the army uniform. I doubt she'd know enough about World War I and The Lighthorse-men to make up a convincing lie like that.

there wouldn't be "blackness for all eternity", as that would imply something after you die. you simply cease to be.

btw, ghosts have about as much evidence as the cottingley fairies that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle insisted on supporting. at least the photographs those little girls in England faked looked something vaguely resembing kinda maybe real.
