Ghostly apparitions are a bit like people—some might be friendly, while others could be a bit grumpy! It’s not always clear why some spirits might seem malevolent. Did you know that many cultures believe ghosts are just folks who have unfinished business? That’s why some of them might hang around, and not necessarily to cause trouble. Science hasn’t quite nailed down what’s behind ghostly encounters, but most experts suggest our brains might be playing tricks on us, especially in low light or during stressful times. So, whether you’re dealing with a Casper or a cranky specter, remember—it’s probably not out to get you, but rather to resolve something or maybe just to get your attention.
