A (long) question for people who have experience with ghosts?

Many of you know me as the guy who uses my 41 years of experience with my own psychic abilities to help those who have legitimate questions about psychic abilities. Though I have experienced many different psychic abilities, I (unlike the kid in the fictional movie "The Sixth Sense") have never been able to "see dead people" - until perhaps recently.

About three and a half months ago, I was in the leasing office where my townhouse is, using their wireless internet. My "instant knowledge" thing kicked in, and I strongly felt the need to look out the floor-to-ceiling window to my left. Since that ability is never wrong, I looked, only to find that there were two "ordinary" women walking toward the pool. Confused, I returned my attention to answering my emails when I felt the need to "look again". By this time, the women were at a position where one was behind the other to my viewing perspective. The one in the back was wearing typical clothes and looked ordinary, but that was when I realized "what was wrong". I was looking THROUGH the woman closest to me and seeing the woman behind her. These two women appeared to be engaged in conversation, occasionally making hand gestures, while walking past the pool, only one of them was transparent.

Since my background is in science and engineering, I quickly looked out the front and side windows to scan for other people walking by that could have cast a "false reflection" on the back window, but there was no one else around that could have cast a false reflection, so that meant that I actually had seen a "solid" person talking to a "transparent" one.

When I looked back toward the pool, both women were gone. Then, a few nights later, I was skyping with a contact and telling her about what had happened, when I heard a loud mournful cry that sounded like it came from just a few feet outside my bedroom window. Since my bedroom is on the 2nd floor and there is no balcony or staircase leading there, I temporarily excused myself from the call, looked out the window, saw no one, and then ran downstairs and went outside and searched for the source of the cry, but found nothing.

Granted, the cry could have been from somewhere other than right outside my 2nd floor window and just sounded near because of an echo, but I can't "explain away" the transparent person.

For those of you with experience with this sort of thing - what in your opinion was this transparent person? For any skeptics tempted to answer this, I will state in advance that I don't do drugs, had not been drinking, am mentally sound, and I don't just "jump to the conclusion" that everything is paranormal. I first defer to my experience in physics and engineering to attempt to explain things.

    Sigh... I have nearly twenty more years on you, not only in science but also in the paranormal; a combination that's not too often found these days--- too many are either blinded by th dogma of one, or the lack of critical thought when it comes to the other.

    Here's my opinion: what you were seeing was what paranormal investigator John A. Keel would probably call a "distortion of reality." It has been said that there are lots of different universes nested inside each other. Now and again they collide, and you can step from one to the other, and this sometimes happens when people seemingly just disappear-- sometimes in front of witnesses, phantom animals appear and kill livestock only to disappear and never be caught or seen again; beings like Spring-heel Jack com out of nowhere to terrorize cities then vanish without a trace; and sometimes we see people from those other dimensions as insubstantial "ghosts" while we may appear to them the same way.

    Some UFOs seem to do things that are physically impossible for anything technological such as radical changes in shape, but it may be that they are not native to this universe and our laws don't apply to them. Things to ponder on... ;-)

    At times when ghosts and spirits reveal themselves there can actually be a message that they are trying to convey as well as they are trying to reach out to the living in order to be noticed for a reason. It can also be that at times a ghost or spirit will make it's presence and existence known as it must may want attention and wants acknowledgment and that's all. Those spirits that reveal themselves to certain individuals may be trying to not only get their attention but may be reaching out to the living in an attempt at possibly solving an aspect or component of their death. There have been reports of apparitions trying to communicate with the living to help them solve their death or that they were murdered and they want it known or their murderer captured. That you are sensitive in a psychic nature, it could be that you were a good conduit to not only see but be able to possibly interpret this revelation. There is another possibility that could help to explain your particular encounter. It could of as well just of been a residual haunting and not an intelligent one. This could be that there had been an event that was just stored in that particular environment and it is just replaying over. How or why you felt the need to notice and observe it could as well be tied to your psychic sensitivity. I would see if you can gather some information about these two woman and see if there is a back story about them. You may come to find that there is a further mystery yet to be solved. Take care.

    -If there is a spirit, it seems to be trying to attract your attention. Try acknowledging it. Speak out loud. There is a difference between a spirit and a poltergeist. A spirit has intelligence and can be addressed, perhaps asked to leave. A poltergeist is simply a force without intelligence. If you try speaking to the spirit, explaining that this is your home and asking it to leave, a spirit may depart or at least cease it's attempts to get your attention. If it is a poltergeist there will be no effect. If this is the case I would recommend that you consult a specialist who can cleanse the house psychically or a priest who is willing to do the same thing on a religious footing.

    It's just your imagination, search up ghost explanations on google, sound frequencies can easily manipulate the brain into thinking paranormal activities. It's based on evolution since those sound frequencies emerge from dying animals and people and also come from earthquakes which give an instinct to be scared. These frequencies are too low for our ears to hear so the "ghost" is probably cause by a broken fan or ventilator system that didn't get fixed.

    Though mathematicians have a theory that "ghosts" could simply be a result from quantum entanglement which takes forever to explain.

    I referred to unusual and mysterious light fixtures in a examined 'haunted' living house in New Orleans. I referred to an photo of my mom seem after she left this international. i have considered a ghost in a cotton shed in a farm positioned on a civil warfare conflict sight (later examined with suggestion from photographic info), and those days, I referred to a spirit mild throughout the time of a prayer/meditation/ assembly. It streaked ac flow the room, like somewhat comet. Oh, I very almost forgot, many years in the past, I watched this comet-like merchandise circling over my mattress as my husband replaced into asleep. This wasn't a speedy sighting, i replaced into waiting to video show it for extraordinarily a lengthy time period. i ought to close my eyes, then open them back and it replaced into nonetheless there. My own have self belief is that husband replaced into astral projecting in his sleep. there have been different situations, yet those are those i'm maximum particular of.

    Hi, B.D....I don't really have an answer but a memory came to me that was similar to what happened to you....but different. One day when I lived in a house on the beach I looked out the window and saw a man and woman. I think the man was younger than the woman. But...I saw TWO of them..i.e. I guess what they call "double vision". I got so excited (never having heard of double vision except in a song) I ran out of the house and said to them "I SAW TWO OF EACH OF YOU!" Of course they looked at me like I was crazy and kept walking. (That's one of the many things that I've done which now I say "STUPID ME!" when thinking about it.). I know this is not like what happened to you but it made me wonder if maybe double vision is actually seeing someone's spirit or maybe their doppleganger (sp) . Maybe that woman you saw in person is someone who is considered to be "crazy" when actually she really does see someone talking with her. Or maybe she is "possessed"..has a spirit inside her. I wish you would see them /her again and strike up a conversation with her. Be careful what you say or she might think you're crazy. lol Guess that "comes with the territory" though. I hope you find out why you were "drawn" to the window to see her/them.

    Think of parallel universes, Wave nature of matter, etc. Matter at the quantum level may consist of complex waves. These waves may have attributes say some phase or frequency that makes it "real " or "solid" relative to other matter having the same wave attributes.---This set of matter that is "real" relative to itself constitutes a "Universe"---Several such universes could exist in the same space and only be real to themselves. Not unlike how many radio station waves exist in the same air, but only the one we tune into is "real" to us.

    Should the wave attribute say a "frequency" of matter should be changed to match that of a parallel universe--Then it becomes "Real" or "Solid" in that universe.---If it is not quite "matching, but close, then matter made of it will look "transparent" in the other universe--not quite "real" because the tuning is not quite right.---Could explain transparent people--In some cases such "People" , well tuned in, can be as real as anybody else--until they revert back and vanish.

    We might also be dealing with temporary "Wormholes" in time.---induced by some kind of local glitch in the universe. It would appear as a "spherical" zone" in 3 dimensions, that may contain objects or people. EG. Living people in another TIME---would explain "ghost" clothing and inanimate objects also part of such apparitions.

    Remember "Classic Physics" died in the first decade of the last century--This stuff is indeed possible via modern physics.---If only we can figure it out

    There is more to the world than we know. I know a guy who saw HIMSELF coming the other way when he was out walking.. there were no mirrors nearby or anything. Freaked him out. I think you must have seen a ghost and the person who was talking to her saw her too.... keep a watch out for them and try to get a closer look...
