The million-pound question and one to which there is no simple answer! Opinions are divided and even on our team we have a wide spread of perspectives right across the whole spectrum of belief. If you take ‘Ghost’ simply to mean an event believed by the witness to be seemingly unexplainable by modern science (and therefore ‘paranormal) then undoubtedly so – centuries of history and even our own investigations bear that out. These ‘paranormal’ events DO happen, or at least people BELIEVE they do.
The contentious question we should actually be asking therefore is ‘What exactly is a ghost?’ Again opinions vary - to some they are the spirit of the departed communicating with the living from some ethereal plane, to others they are anomalies in physics or even replays of recordings of historic events somehow ‘activated’ by ones presence in the environment in which they originally occurred, and to others they are merely the creation of an easily ‘tricked’ human mind desperately willing for proof of an afterlife.
We won’t and can’t give you a definitive answer one way or the other, all we try to do is give you the opportunity to visit these supposedly haunted places, test a variety of the theories surrounding the paranormal and hopefully capture and evaluate ‘evidence’ that will allow you to decide for yourself.
