You can take ghost tours in London and York. An amusing way to get a walk and see side streets of a city with an animated guide.
First I shall say why I don't believe in ghosts. But I shall end with suggestions for ghost tours.
Superstitious Singaporeans believe in ghosts. I don't. Why?
I've never believed in ghosts and used to think ghosts were explained by the usual suspects: People in white sheets play pranks. Miss a night's sleep and you are open to suggestion. Trees backlit by street lights cause shadows on the bedroom wall. After somebody dies you keep seeing them, wishful thinking. But now there's a sensible explanation.
I had read about this just after my late father's death. He was an optician. I scanned through all the copies of optical journals he'd saved because he was not a saver and I thought they might have something vital. One of the journals had an obituary of a friend of his. Another had an article on macular degeneration being a suspect you test for if a patient confesses to seeing worrying images.
if I remember the article correctly, it suggested that large heads and large hats might be blurred after images or negative images, especially if you sees white light in darkness with a silhouetted of a person or tall object and then turn to the light, you see the reverse.
But now, out in the daily newspapers, to reassure everyone, are accounts of sensible people suffering from Charles Bonnet syndrome. Add on a new theory. That when you have a blank in the middle of a picture, caused by deterioration of the eye, your brain tries to fill the blank with familiar images.
The eye and brain are amazing. You know if you acquire bifocals, invented by American Benjamin Franklin, or trifocals, you may have difficulty seeing through them. However, if you persist, as I did, some time between three days and a week, you will find you automatically adjust.
Back to the eyes and ghosts. The trick in life is not to allow yourself to believe that weird forces are performing spiteful or unpredictable random acts. Most of nature and science follows regular patterns. If you find a regular problem, a pattern, persist long enough until you find the pattern which provides the answer. That's what I learned today.
