Science shocks us with the phenomenon of seeing 'ghosts'

Whether ghosts are real or not is a topic of research for many experts and scientists. Over the years, they have tried to find scientific explanations for cases of claims of seeing "ghosts ".

While some people claim to see "ghosts ", many have never seen one and are skeptical about the existence of ghosts.

Regarding this controversial mystery, abnormal psychology researcher Chris French at the University of London said: "We tend to see 'ghosts' because the human mind is very suggestible."

As French explains, we have evolved to pick up cues from the outside world as a way to escape ever-present threats, so when a cue comes along at the right time, it can make us see things that aren't there.

Mental quirks are so powerful that they can fool us even in real time, adds French.

In a study conducted by French, participants reported seeing a key bend against their will because people nearby also reported seeing the strange event.

From here, expert French believes that the desire to explore or see something with one's own eyes makes people more likely to approach things even when they don't exist.

Meanwhile, some experts believe that some people's "ghost" sightings may be related to mental health. Some people with medical conditions such as schizophrenia may often see ghosts.

Additionally, some people experience great grief when a loved one dies, so their brains "summon" their spirits as a way to relieve their sadness.

Research by some experts also shows that signal disorders in this brain region can cause cases where people feel they can see and talk to ghosts. They often believe in spiritual and mystical phenomena. (Photo in the article is for illustration purposes only).
