What are they really?

It is actually a character from a very interesting book. He built a house inside out and decided to call the rest of the world the assylum.

He came to the conclusion to do this when he read the instructions on the back of a toothpick box. It makes quite a deal of sense when you hear him talk about it but he said that it is insanity to feel the need ot put instructions on the back of a toothpick box

That sounds really fascinating, actually. What's the book?

It's called So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

It's a part of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.

lol this thread went a bit off topic so here is my opinion lol,
Ghosts and Spirits are one and the same its just the Spirits that remain here on earth that do not know they are dead or have unfinished business that are considered ghosts some of the ghosts that ppl see are just spirits that are visiting the places that they loved most in thier lives

I definitely believe in ghosts, but I don't think they can all be lumped into one basket. I believe there are different kinds. Some may be simply overacive imaginations. Some are spirits who do not realise they are dead or who are not ready to pass over. Some apparitions are simply risidual energies from a traumatic event. Some are spirits who have passed but have come back to visit, give messages, guide loved ones etc. Some may be malicious spirits, after all there are malicious people...

Just as everything in life is different, so is everything in death...
