Ghost Hunting Adventures
Participating in a Halloween-themed game retreat, one attendee shared their experience with a professional ghost hunter, generating discussions about the nature of ghosts. Among the theories discussed were whether ghosts are merely spirits of the deceased or if they represent psychic echoes of the past. The complexity of ghost hunting is highlighted by the use of devices designed to capture Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs), which often lead to misinterpretation of sounds, aligning with the psychological concept of pareidolia—seeing faces in random patterns. This conversation underscores the ambiguity surrounding the existence of ghosts and opens the floor to the possibility of alternative explanations for these supernatural encounters.
