Why Do We Believe in Ghosts and Other Supernatural Beings?

We believe in ghosts because our brains like to explain things. Imagine you're home alone, and the lights flicker, maybe it feels like someone is watching you. Your brain says, 'That must be a ghost!' It’s like when your shadow moves on the wall, sometimes we think there's something else there, even though it's just our eyes playing tricks on us. People believe in ghosts because they feel the presence of something beyond themselves.
