That video looked mostly bullshit.

I will say though. I don't believe in "ghosts," as in, a manifestation of someone who has died, from beyond the grave.

However after I first moved into my new apartment (I think I wrote about this here, but I don't remember, and it is four am) I kept waking up in the middle of the night multiple times for the first few days. I would "hear" something while I was asleep and jerk awake, feeling that the entire room was really muggy and hot and the air was very thick. About a week after I moved in I woke up and there was very clearly a woman floating right off the foot of my bed with a shopping cart in front of her. It didn't scare me so much as startle, and I flicked the light on and it went away. So I got out of bed, burned some sage and said a prayer, and haven't been bothered since.

I don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe that once someone dies we really have any mechanism to get in touch with them again. I don't know this for sure, obviously, but in my personal experience I don't believe this is the case. I don't believe the dead come back to us after they're gone.

I do believe, however, that people leave imprints on matter as they interact with it. That a person who lives in a home for forty years will imprint themselves on the walls of that home and could possibly manifest in a manner that someone might consider a spirit or ghost. Or someone who dies violently. Or someone who considered a place a happy spot and cherished its location. But I don't believe these things carry any conscious thought or rationale and are basically just residual charges in an electrical appliance after the plug's already been pulled.
