I would say brilliant. Fascinating how the best ideas often appear to have happened purely accidentally. It is not that so much than to recognise them when they do. I foresee a bright future for you as writer & Nolan

Did you know there really are ghosts? I see them everywhere. All the time.

i agree with you completely. i've never really questioned their existence.

If you look at a photo or a video of someone who has passed on then you are seeing a ghost. Technically: A ghost is an image or vision of a dead person, without substance. Pictures of people who have died are everywhere. They're harmless.

good concept - i never really thought about the photos like that before, but you're absolutely right. of course, in a photo there is no consciousness, so i don't think it's exactly the same, but still.

Thinking of literature (mostly fiction) depicting a “ghost”, it is a soul which cannot find peace or rest. This because of wicked deeds in life, or unavenged blood. It is a (wandering) apparition and is usually completely unaware of the observer (bystander), it doesn't communicate and does not respond to anything. So I feel that a ghost is not conscious, and therefore, does not necessarily have a “consciousness”. I hope your studies have been progressing well! Cheers! Nolan
