This is a theory about ghosts explained to me by my algebra teacher. Basically it's saying that ghosts are beings from another dimension we are not familiar with (like that twilight zone episode where the girl gets lost in the 4th). He gave an example of a fish that just swims back and forth all day and has NO knowledge whatsoever that he can go up or down. THe verticle dimension is not known to this fish. If one day a hand were to suddenly come from above through the water and grab at him the fish would have NO idea where or how the hand got there. When in fact it was just traveling down the verticle dimension the fish wouldn't comprehend this and thus label it as supernatural.
So what I'm saying is perhaps ghosts are just beings from some other dimension who waltz into ours for a moment and we, not having any knowledge of their dimension like how to get there, get spooked and label them supernatural. It could be our own primative misunderstandings of the universe. *shrugs* anyways I hope you can understand what I've said... sweatdrop

The same thing is said about astral beings that are definately not ghosts.

LilaMalvae The same thing is said about astral beings that are definately not ghosts. Yeah they just come from the astral plane (or have the spell astral projection)

Thats quite an interesting thought. Though, what would the fourth dimension be? The third dimension already covers all three spacial dimensions. And i'm not sure if traveling to a lower dimension would be possible. Put a 3 dimensional cube in the second dimension, it gets flattened to a normal square. Put a 2 dimensional square into the 1st dimension, it becomes deformed into a line. And that line in the 0th dimension? it becomes a single dot. Now, take these effects and apply them to living entities. Its highly probable that a being cannot live in the dimension(s) lower then the one it lives in.

There are lots of dimensions as well as different "worlds" or planes of reality. There are many entities that travel to our plane, as well as those among us skilled enough to travel to others. However, despite that, spirits of the deceased do in fact exist.
However, you do bring forth the valid point that "supernatural" and "paranormal" are actually quite natural and normal, just not fully understood yet.
Travel to a lower dimension is possible, but requires the ability to take on a form fitting to the dimension. It is also recommended you have that ability if you're planning to travel to a higher dimension so you won't stick out like a sore thumb.

From a strictly Biblical point of view, There are three instances that kinda point to the paranormal.
first one: it is written, to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord (for followers of god's word)
second one: a poor man sits at a rich man's gate and begs for scraps from the rich man's table. they both eventually die and the rich man calls out across the chasm from hell into heaven to ask the poor man for just a drop of water to cool his tongue. To be absent from the body is to be present in hell for the non believer. (the to be absent part in this instance is not actually written in the bible. it a paraphrase by me)
Third one I just heard tonight from my youth pastor: God asked "Who will go and be a lying spirit in the mouths of the prophets?"
So the Bible really focuses on angels and the fallen host (satan and his host). There has to be something else, right? Is this "lying spirit" maybe the ghosts we see...?
This forces the question, "Where do ghosts come from if the soul goes directly to one of two destinations"?
I think that spirits are mysteries of the paranormal. Maybe we'll never know...

Perhaps that's why many 'paranormal' beings are spectral/non-tangible. Who says they're not different here than in their own dimension.

This forces the question, "Where do ghosts come from if the soul goes directly to one of two destinations"? I think that spirits are mysteries of the paranormal. Maybe we'll never know... First of all, I think that the "lying spirit" may actually refer to the fallen host... though maybe I'm wrong. And as to the question where? Well, there is the possibility that ghosts are simply the dead who have not crossed over, or who come down from Purgatory, or the in-between-state. There's nothing to say that the spirits have to immediately go up or down. Ever read Hamlet? Hamlet sr. was unable to go anywhere because he was not evil enough for Hell, but couldn't go to Heaven because he had died impure.
