Dead or Alive

When people speak about being 'haunted', or feeling 'a presence', an assumption is made that it must be by someone who has died.

Could it actually be someone alive who is invading your personal space?

Do humans possess as yet unidentified skills and senses which are being used inadvertently? Could the act of imagining you are in someone's house resonate with them so that they 'sense' you are there? Can we project some part of our being that can have an impact on another person's environment?

Does casually reminiscing about a place you once visited mean that someone standing there at that moment has the experience of being watched, whether or not they have ever met you?

It makes more sense to me that 'ghosts' are actually living people projecting themselves, rather than dead people coming back for a visit.

Spooked?

So am I!

I love this idea. How can we test the theory?!

I suppose you could try 'haunting' someone you know, but check they are OK with this first! Could freak them out!

Problem is, if they were expecting it, it would be hard to say how much of the result was down to their imagination/expectation. It's an interesting idea...
