Do people turn to ghosts when they die or does something else happen to them?
I can't claim to have an absolute answer to these, the same way I can't in totality believe what anybody says about it since none of us has a first-hand experience with regards to that topic.
What do science and our religious beliefs teach us about life after death?
Hinduism teaches that when you die, you reincarnate to either higher or lower level, it all depends on your deeds when you were alive. Muslims and Christians believe when you die, you'll go to heaven or hell. The Jewish Talmud and Torah share a complex view on this as they teach both the resurrection of the body and the reunion with the ancestors.
Science teaches that death has two stages which are clinical death and biological death. The clinical death occurs when someone stops breathing but his organs are alive and he still has a level of awareness. This stage lasts for about 6 minutes, after that the organs degenerate and the cells begin to die that is when the biological death occurs. After a biological death has occurred, if bodies are not embalmed or keep in a cooling place, they decay and get eaten by maggots or become manure for plants. Scientific research has not yet shown that any level of awareness can be attained after biological death takes place. Paraphrased Source
Back to the main focus;
Do ghosts exist?
In as much as science and most religious beliefs don't agree with the existence of ghosts there are stories that prove that the existence of ghosts is not a myth.
What is a ghost?
Ghosts are assumed to be the spirits of dead humans. Some believe ghost are telepathic entities projected into the world from our minds. Either way, do they really exist? Below are stories of my own encounter and that of those around me.
When I was seven years old, my younger sister and I were going to our grandma's house when we saw two ghosts for the first time.
It was in the early hours of the morning, as we walked down to our grandma's house, on our way, we saw two creatures dressed in black robe, their feet weren't touching the ground. It looked like they were walking on air, about 2 feet above the ground. I wasn't able to see their faces as they were fully covered with black cloth.
When I saw those creatures, I kept quiet and stood back because they were passing through the same road we were approaching. I thought I was the only one who saw them, but my sister noticed the same thing and hid behind me. After they left the place, we ran fast to our grandma and narrated the story to her. When my sister was narrating her own account of what she saw, I noticed her description were exactly the same as the images I saw. At least that confirmed I wasn't hallucinating because both of us cannot be seeing the same imaginary creatures at the same time.
Another encounter happened some years ago when my uncle's wife died. It is our custom to bury the dead in their father's land (women who are married are buried in their husband's house). My younger sister once reported that she saw the young lady's ghost standing close to her grave.
A friend of mine also told me how his dead father appeared to his younger sister in her dream and gave her the names of all the people who were owing him money before he died. To their greatest surprise, when they approached those people, they accepted owing him and paid the debts.
One thing I know is that no one, not even science or our religious books has the full account of; what this world is all about, where we came from, or what will happen when we die.
