Moomoo physics
My friend Jonathan sees “ghosts”. It started when he was in his mid-20s. One day at 3 am he was awakened by the sound of women talking outside his window. He went out and saw three women hanging the laundry. He thought they were his mom and aunts, and wondered why they were hanging out laundry at 3 am. When he got close to them he realized that they were not his mom and aunts. They were wearing old-fashioned clothing, and floating a foot above the ground. He stared at them in shock. They stared back at him, curiously. He ran back to his room.
I like the temporal anomaly explanation for ghosts. Some kind of time warp causes the past and the present to briefly coexist in the same space. To Jonathan, the three women were ghosts from the past; to the women, Jonathan was a ghost from the future. Or maybe those with “the sight” perceive past, present, and future as simultaneous occurrences. Which would make it very difficult for them to keep appointments and meet deadlines.
Jonathan’s “sight” seems to have been passed on to his daughters, who are 12 and 9. He asked them to draw what they saw.
