How do ghosts wear clothes?
-
My elder sister, stepbrother and his wife, stepmother and father all had experiences with a ghost in the stepbrother's house in upstate New York. The neighbors identified him as the previous owner and builder of the house who had fallen down the stairs and died in the nursing home his children had put him in. My stepbrother saw him with the same blond hair and wearing the same blue hat and clothes that he wore when he was alive, which is how the neighbors identified him. Yet he would walk through doors, clothes and all. I can understand the possibility of ghosts but how can they be seen wearing the same clothes when alive, yet having no corporal existence? He also would move chairs around, put firewood in the wood stove to keep the fire going in winter, and once he tried to pull my stepmother from the bed, requiring all my father's strength to hold her in the bed -- which happened to the stepsister as well.

@LaughingCoyote Maybe the clothes were wronged in some way, so have come back to haunt the real of the living.

Just fine as long as it was your mom that was drag from the bed. For strange reasons the ghosts seem to bet better at dragging female members, attacking them violently, causing weird reactions and spams usually pretty similar to spams i usually associate with sexual activity.
My amazement in software is of other ghosts, the leftover code that for various reasons remain and is executed long after the objects they relate to has been killed.
This is the Karel Babchyski argument for "garbage collection" - you can reset the memory and clean it, and when the cleansing change things, you have a problem. Today it is the background and how to paint the screen. These ghosts have no sex, the windows appear regardless. Black, blue, red and purple can be exhibited. The little son can be affected just like the granny. And they usually are dressed - just as they were shown the first time. If the damsels danced butt naked - they remain butt naked. They are certainly not dressed up. -

Presumably then the netherworld is just as misogynistic as the real one. Tis very sad.

Many times "ghosts" seem to be replays of past events rather than actual spirits of the dead. There's a famous castle in Britain where at times you can hear a previous occupant driving his carriage up the stairs - horses and all. If you're looking at a replay of past events of course you'll see whatever the people were wearing at the time. As far as actual spirits... well, how often are people naked in their dreams? Presumably you'll see them as they picture themselves - not with the broken bones and other injuries he got falling down the stairs.

There are plenty of ghost stories in the Dhammapada Commentary.

Ghosts tend to happen when their death was energetic or had a lot of energy involved..
My guess is he did not die quickly and/or there was some stress or arguing before he fell. Perhaps he was so preoccupied with whatever was troubling him that he became clumsy, or perhaps he was pushed, who can tell.Here we have a simple game of numbers when it comes to numbers of male/female ghosts.
Which of the 2 through our past history is most likely to die in a violent or energy intense way ?Mass-hauntings are mostly connected with war and battle. Here you often find that the ghosts are complete with weapons and even horses and carts.
Roman legions and soldiers from more recent civil wars have regularly been seen following their final footsteps towards their destiny.Poltergeist activity is more commonly found in households with pubescent girls.
Is the hormone fuelled human the common denominator, or are the spectral manifestations simply attracted by the fact there are young girls to bully ?Often the negative or unwanted behaviour is because the previous occupant is pissed off that some rude people have moved into their home, which they still occupy.
Often it is because the deceased individual has unresolved business which will often result in anger projected at those present.
Those that are the most sensitive to energy fluctuations around them, will most likely get the brunt.
Some ghosts are trapped by circumstance, as they happened to die in a place of strong energy.
This can be a single site, or a pathway, such as a lay-line or the human made ones that happen over time and use (they have a name but I don't remember it).We have no methods to record the energy of the human psyche, only a few hokey boxes of cheep tricks that add fake auras to the camera feed (I had to repair one, and I recognised what I was looking at inside).
Now we have the use of more advanced body and brain scanners, tests could be done using new tech, but convincing hospitals to give up expensive time for experiments they don't see as useful would be difficult (or costly).Energy is the common factor. What we see in a haunting is often a recording of what went on in a place and time, hence the common theme of ghosts going about some daily routine.
How can they move solid things if they are only energy ?
"If you have to ask, then your Kung Fu is weak".
We have basic energy-based movement control over a few things in our physical world.
We can use electricity, static charge and magnetism. One of the many strange things about magnetism that Faraday discovered, is that everything is magnetic if inside a strong magnetic field, even the stuff that a magnet does not normally stick to (I know, seems weird, but it's true).
Now think of the haunting as a field of energy rather than simply energy emitted from the ghost.
Solid objects within this area may be more charged during the event, allowing the entity to act upon it.All theory and conjecture based on what we do know about energy.
When you consider the simplicity of how dowsing rods actually work, it is less mystic and more science, only scientists have never looked at it with the right set of tools because people spout a load of old cobblers saying how it works.
My brother and I did many experiments when we were kids to check what we we seeing.
You are an energy conductor holding conductive rods, as you walk around an area with spikes in energy, the rods either cross or splay outward. This seems to indicate polarity.
Our easiest test was for me to go out in the yard and walk around while my Bro ran water down the sink. The rods crossed multiple times indicating 1 line of energy.
I then stood where the rods were crossed and asked my Bro to turn off the tap. The rods were no longer attracted to each other. He then flushed the toilet and the rods leapt together as the bigger volume of water passed.
You are simply an antenna in a world of shifting magnetic fields. The experiment would work as well with a robot, which may be the way scientists would actually take notice.Anyway, that is what I tell the Jehovah's witness when they come knocking on my door.
