With modern day technology, present day ghost hunters have managed to capture some amazing things on film and audio. Pictures, video and audio recordings known as EVP have surfaced at an alarming rate. 

Granted, the same technology that allows for the capture of this evidence, also allows for modern day hoaxsters to create their own. This is an unfortunate situation, because it tends to discredit the entire field and lessen the value of real evidence. People have an automatic reaction of disbelief when given the chance of witnessing some of this evidence. 

Fortunately, these occurrences could care less whether someone believes or not and continue to happen, giving us the chance to capture even more startling evidence.

The purpose of this article is not to argue the validity of the current proof of ghosts or evidence that already exists. Rather, it is to discuss undeniable science and see how it could apply to ghosts and the paranormal. The main thing that I would like to discuss is thermodynamics.

The laws of thermodynamics are considered to be some of the most important laws in physics and are as accepted as the laws of gravity. When looking at these laws, we can start to see that maybe science has already provided proof that ghosts could in fact, exist.

The first law of thermodynamics states: "Energy can neither be created or destroyed. it can only change form." This basically says that energy does not die, it simply changes form. it also says that there is a constant amount of energy within our universe at all times. 

Think about it. If energy has been proven by science to be indestructible, but have the ability to change form, then what happens to the massive amount of energy that makes us who we are, when our bodies cease to function? This is something very interesting to think about.

Could this basic law of physics explain the existence of ghosts? Could it explain the voices recorded on a regular basis that were inaudible at the time of recording? The misty apparitions or mysterious movement of objects? The human soul?

I am not a physicist by any means, but by looking at this very important law, using a common sense approach, it seems as though these occurrences should be taken more seriously that they often are. Granted, people will say that our body becomes fertilizer and food for bugs and that is how our energy changes form, but take a look at yourself. 

Think of the amazing power of the human brain and body. Is this really a fair trade? Personally, it makes me want to take a second look at the current proof and evidence of ghosts. I hope that you have read this article with an open mind and will continue to question the unknown. Curiosity is the mother of all scientific fact. Whether we are right or wrong today, our curiosity will one day become undeniable scientific fact.
