Some people see ghosts because their brains make up stories. Imagine you're walking home late at night, and there's a shadowy figure in the corner of your eye, your brain might think it’s a ghost! It tries to explain what you’re seeing by making up something familiar, like a person or a spirit.
Examples
- A child sees a shadow on the wall and thinks it's a ghost.
- An old man hears his late wife’s voice in the wind and believes she has returned.
- Someone walking alone at night sees a figure behind a tree and jumps back, thinking they've seen a ghost.
