There is no doubt that we perceive a tiny sliver of the Big Picture. As for a reliable (hopefully valid) interpretation of the peeks we get (as well as what we perceive on a regular basis), that is where [enter trumpets] Science comes in.
Can Science help us understand the nonempirical dimensions of reality? Theoretically, I would say yes, but a big part of correct application would be to be aware of our own biases.

Humans arent capable of 'pure' reason, what makes you think that we can acquire non-empirical knowledge?

Just out of curiosity, was the ghost clothed or naked?
Originally posted by RZANot me though I know of 3 people that swear by it. Though I've talked to other people that have strange things happen. They seem to resemble either the figure of a woman or man or child, or an orb, or many misty shapes.........or a voice even....some say just a touch or being touched.........strange.
Can someone who's ever seen a ghost please answer my question. I'm quite curious.
^ Yes Debbie but my question is are they clothed or naked? The next time you talk to these people who claim to have seen ghosts just ask them that simple question and see what kinda response you get back. If you can see them then they can't be invisible or else you wouldn't be able to see them. And if they have in fact seen them then they should be able to answer that simple question.
Hearing voices is a whole other topic entirely. I think that's called schizophrenia.
Well from what described to me. Some where like very light imprints of someone in clothing, but a few saw something that resembled a white presents floating from out of a wall, through part of a bed that was in the room then out of the wall that lead to the outside......It was small, and little long..
I thought popular mythology on the whole thing has ghosts dresses in the clothing they died in, or clothes somehow important/defining to them.
Why old Governesses who died of malaria always appear in there work clothes or why the young man brutally murdered by his business partner out by the docks before being dumped in the water with rocks in his pockets always appears as if he had been in the water in his blood splattered business suit.
I'm not sure if all these things we see are actually ghosts, but perhaps peeks into some time dimension, or a different vibrational field or freqencies......Maybe there really is no "time."...and these are just imprints of the past imposing on our reality, but in the real reality there is no such thing as time.....Something our solid bodies with our 5 senses don't hardly pick up on.........Hard to explain.
