Something that has always puzzled me is this. A soul when it leaves the body, in certain circumstances, stays on the earth plane and becomes a "ghost". Why do the majority of ghost photos/sightings/stories involve ghosts that are clothed, do souls require clothes? We come into this world naked, why would we come back in our clothes, clothes are physical and don't have souls.

I'd be interested in your answers please.:)

AFAIK, Only the ghosts in the movies have clothes. That is due to the censor boards that said no for ghosts being naked in movies.

Clothes are not removed after the death of Human. So ghosts (nothing but human convertion) have clothes. They can't do any physical things of their own! :D

I've noticed another point regarding ghosts in movies. Some ghosts cannot touch anything, for example they can walk through anything. they are like vapor with shape. So if that is the case then how could they sit or even walk? if they try to sit (or walk) then they must penetrate the object and drop on ground. Then from ground to underground, then cross the center of the earth to other side of the world. Now once they reached other side, they cannot stand there because again they penetrate the earth n go to other side and same ping-pong continues... So what they show in movie is very illogical.. :grin:

^^ Same happens in case of invisible man movies, like gayab or Mr. India. Ye mana that they r invisible and can't be seen but how can their clothes be invisible? :D
They wear clothes but still remain invisible. lol

Concept of encpasulation comes here.

The person alongwith all the other materials attached to him is treated as a single entity. So when the function Be_invisible is called, the person as a whole is taken as a single object and is passed on to the function which makes him all at a time invisible.:p

^^ LOL.

But i think if ghosts exist they don't even have a body form or shape.
They are something like vapour of energy or something.
Scientifically we have to agree that soul is some kind of energy, when soul leaves the body, it might remain in atomosphare as energy as energy never gets destoyed it just changes form. And when we feel that there is a ghost we are just feeling that energy.
(Sorry for Bad english. I am trying to improve it.)
