Ghosts

What are ghosts? Why are ghosts? How are ghosts? Pretend, for fun, and they aren't, in that order. Ghosts exist in the space of low resolution and little information. We ask the hard questions about the plausibility of ghosts as well as explore Haunted Person Syndrome (HPS). Are you haunted by a ghost? Tell us all about it!
