I want to believe in ghosts, and I did as a child. I loved the fear they inplemented, but getting older, my imagination is no longer able to keep me in the dark about certain aspects of reality. I believed in ghosts as I believed in god. I do not believe that someone can promote intelligence if they contribute superstition to reality, or act so gullible to think that there are mystical creatues which float around representing previously active organisms.
