"It doesn't matter if you have convinced yourself that there is no life after death; we all have a gut feeling that there has to be something more. And there most certainly is.
Just because you can't see something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
Ghosts are very real. Some of them walk among us as if they're still alive; some don't even know that they're dead. You've probably encountered one at one point whether you realized it or not.
There are two kinds of ghosts: Shades and Specters. Shades are completely unaware of their condition; they have no idea they're actually dead. Specters are a bit more complicated. They know that they're dead, though they may not know how they died or why they're still in the world of the living.
Everyone is capable of communicating with the dead. But beware-- anyone can have bad intentions, ghosts included.
You might ask, why should I be afraid? They're ghosts; they can't touch me. That's not entirely true. A person is only as powerful as their mind allows them to be, and if a ghost thinks that they can touch you, they can.
When a ghost is "dormant", they aren't present in the world of the living. It's sort of like how humans sleep to restore their energy. Ghosts have energy that allows them to materialize in our world, and it isn't unlimited. They simply turn off when there's nothing to be done. When they come out of dormancy, they reappear where they last were.
If they run out of energy and have no where to "refuel", they go dormant whether they want to or not. In this case, they lose consciousness; after all, staying conscious and aware requires energy, too. In this case, their mind is in a limbo, of sorts.
Although they are technically just humans who have died, they have some exclusive abilities.
The mind is a powerful tool, and the mind of a ghost is no exception. Ghosts can manipulate their surroundings and their appearance using pure though. They live in a dimension that is separate from our world, but it overlaps it so they can still act and be seen by humans who can "see"."

GHOSTLY FAQ
Can ghosts do physical harm to humans?
There's no reason why they couldn't if they wanted to badly enough.
Can ghosts possess a human?
Not against their will. If a human offers themselves up as a vessel for a ghost to be in the world of the living for some reason.
Can ghosts choose when they want to be seen?
It's subjective. Some can, some can't. No one knows what determines that.
Are ghosts always stuck in the same place that they died or resided while they were alive?
Not necessarily! There are plenty of ghosts that can walk the world like normal. However, there may be circumstances that would bind a ghost to their place of death or former residence.
Can ghosts read minds or communicate telepathically?
Because ghosts don't live in the same physical dimension as the living, they are more prone to communicate telepathically rather than verbally. But they don't necessarily know exactly what humans are thinking; the human has to share their thoughts in order for them to be known by the ghost, and vice versa.
Do Ouija boards/tape recorders/etcetera really work?
Why don't you try and find out?
Just because you can't see something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
