The ghost of someone still alive.

I'm watching this docuseries that is taking a look at ghosts and hauntings and alternate theories on what they are. It says that it is possible to have a ghost haunting a house from someone who is actually still alive.

So....It says that if a man/woman is possessed by another spirit, then the original man/womans spirit is pushed out of the persons body and becomes a ghost that could haunt the place he/she died. Errrr...was pushed out of their body.

Then they would haunt that location while their body, now possessed by another ghost, would continue life as that same person. Only, it isn't that same person...and voila! A haunting from someone who isn't dead.

It's pretty confusing but does anyone think something like this could actually be true?

Since you asked...no. Ghosts aren't real. Neither are aliens or supernatural entities. They're part of a long line of fables that, for whatever reason, some are attracted to. It feeds people something they want or need. When proof and evidence don't exist it opens the door for conjecture and that's the seed that grows. It's where "faith" and "belief" take precedent over facts and that allows it to feed itself. Some may see it as harmless fun, others see it as pure lunacy and others go all-in because of what it provides them. Just my two cents.

@Ynotisay - I am definitely not saying I believe in ghosts. But I have always been interested. But you are right. The belief, I think, is to help people think we just don't blink out of existence. This is still a different take on what ghosts are I think.

@ReaperLinda I think you're right on the money in regards to belief and our (actual) blinking out of existence. Recorded history shows the influence of gods and greater powers over humankind. Maybe it's comforting to believe that there's 'more.' But that doesn't make it so. When evidence isn't required all bets are off. TV is particularly good at exploring those types of things.
