      No there is no scientific evidence that ghosts exist. Many photos have been published of course, but in the digital age when it is so hard to fake something it is hard to take them seriously. There were fewer photos before the digital camera was invented and in all cases it is pretty sure that they were faked by using a technique called double exposure.

      Stories of ghosts are too inconsistent to be true. Some people say that they are the spirits of the dead and do not have a physical form, this allows them to walk through walls etc. Yet then we hear of ghosts moving objects- how can that be possible if they have no physical form? If ghosts are spirits of the dead, why do people claim to see ghosts of cars or trains, that would have no spirit?

      I once saw an unreliable video of the ghost of Michael Jackson on Youtube, but it’s hard (next to impossible) to prove ghosts exists using science.
