Sometimes people see ghosts because their brain tries to make sense of something strange. Imagine you're in a dark room and you think you see a shadow move, your brain might say, 'That’s a ghost!' But really, it could just be the wind or your imagination. Ghosts are like when our brain plays tricks on us.
Examples
- A child in a dark hallway thinks they see their mom walking ahead of them.
- An old man sees his wife sitting on the couch when no one is there.
