 That's A Nice Outfit You Have
There has always been a question about ghosts and paranormal activity that I have had, but never could get a straight answer to. Why do ghosts wear clothes? Some of the answers to this question that I have found all boil down to one explanation - the ghost manifests the image of themselves as they remember during life. This explanation has never made sense to me. If a ghost were a spirit of a human being, then why is the ghost not naked - did they bring a change of clothes with them into to spirit world? This theory is based around what is known as a residual haunting, as these are the type associated with entities that wear clothing. My thoughts about residual hauntings differ than that of most paranormal researchers, as they feel a residual haunting is still a spirit, or being, although "recorded" in time.
I disagree completely with this, you cannot have it both ways, and since the latter would make more sense, I would say that a residual haunting is only a recording, and nothing else. There is no spirit or actual soul involved. The whole fact that the residual entity has clothing substantiates this reasoning. Where and how are these residual hauntings recorded? No one can say, but in theory, certain materials like wood and crystal can store energy, and when disturbed, the energy is released. If the energy is a projection, that is what will be released. That theory will not hold up either, otherwise we could just disturb some wood or rocks, and we should see an entity appear, but it does not happen as expected. Since full body apparitions are so rare, I would suggest that the residual projection requires a very accurate, and rare, combination of material and energy which is so precise that only by chance they are, in very few locations, a recipe that has come together just right. Why do clothes mean that a haunting cannot be a spirit? Again, common sense. Think about the clothes you wore yesterday - but not just what you wore, how they looked on you, how they wrinkled. Think about how the bow was tied behind you, and how that bow moved as you walked. Without looking down, how far does your shirt overlap your pants? There are just far too many details for a ghost to "project" through thought of what they looked like in real life, not impossible, but not likely. My bottom line on this theory is that a residual haunting is NOT a spirit or soul, but merely a reflection of the past no more real than a movie in the theater. It is a soul-less photograph taken by nature.
