Curious Cat
After my father's death, I had some strange stuff happen that nudged me to learn about the supernatural. What I've been finding out is life is way more complicated, strange, and wonderful than I'd ever dreamed. The best part? Science is starting to catch up. I focus on the place where science and supernatural collide. What does it mean to be a soul in a meat suit?

Theory of Ghosts
Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever seen one? Known someone who has? Would you like to? I'll have tips at the end of this episode that might increase your odds of seeing a ghost.
The telling of a ghost story around a campfire or a candlelit room wakes a primal strand of our DNA. It transforms a power outage into a lifelong memory, and might lead us to snuggle closer to our partner.
As the leaves quiver in the wind, and nightfall bleeds into daytime hours, the timing is right to examine the theory of ghosts.
Let's get into it.
Definition of a Ghost
Merriam-Webster defines a ghost as, "a disembodied soul
especially the soul of a dead person believed to be an inhabitant of the unseen world or to appear to the living in bodily likeness; a spirit or demon."
Synonyms for ghost include; apparition, bogey, haunt, phantasm, shade, spectre, sprite, wraith, phantom, shadow, poltergeist or (my favorite) visitant.
