Abstract
Do Ghosts Exist? This question is dormant in everyone’s mind. Literature abounds in ghostly stories. Even some of our friends and relatives narrate their chilling encounters with Ghosts. What to talk of others, even I, myself, had experiences seeing and hearing the ghost of my late mother. Then why this doubt whether Ghosts exist?
The Human Mind is known to spring many surprises, and one of them is Pareidolia! Pareidolia surprises you by making you see or hear what doesn’t even exist, such as Ghosts. This paper brings to you the fact that Ghosts do not exist, and their seeming appearance could be Pareidolia at work. Even the seemingly credible evidence put forth by Paranormal Ghost Investigators comes under doubt because some of it can be counter-explained by Pareidolia, and the basic assumptions (on which their investigations are based) could be falsified as those assumptions could be explained by facts other than the existence of ghosts. The conclusions drawn are scientific and based on credible logic.
