Problem with ghost

Although some ghosts can be well explained by the above two hypotheses, there are many cases where the hypotheses simply cannot explain. These cases involve the conscious ghosts (some people call them spirits rather than ghosts, but we shall not distinguish them here and will use the word ghost in either situation), i.e. ghosts that interact with the surroundings and the recipients. This is actually what people mean when they mention the word “ghost”.If the two hypotheses mentioned cannot explain the conscious ghosts, what are they? Should we believe that they are in fact, human (or even animal) souls? If we accept this hypothesis, then we must deal with some problems. The biggest problem is why then inanimate objects are also reported in phantom forms? These include ghostly vehicles like airplanes, ships, cars, trains etc. For example, the junction of St. Mark’s Road and Cambridge Gardens in Kensington, London, are quite famous in the 1930s because of the sightings of ghostly double decker bus that traveled at great speed in the middle of the night when no buses were in service. Numerous accidents had happened when drivers tried to avoid the bus. According to witnesses, the bus had neither driver nor passenger. Even the local transport official had seen the phantom bus. The sightings eventually died out after the local authority straightened the road. Another example is the Tay Rail Bridge disaster in Scotland in 1879. The bridge collapsed in a storm, leaving the oncoming train to plunge into a river below. No one survived. Since the bridge was repaired, ghostly train was seen disappearing near the middle of the reparations. Another famous example is Abraham Lincoln's funeral train that was said to pass along the original route taken by Lincoln's funeral train, complete with a skeletal band on one of the wagons, playing an unidentified tune.If ghosts are souls, are we to deduce that trains and buses have souls too? Are we to believe that inanimate objects have souls, like the ancient Japanese who believed that anything can possess a soul if used for a long time?And for that matter, why do almost all ghosts are seen with clothing on? If inanimate objects do not have souls, then shouldn’t ghosts be nude?In fact, some people believe that ghosts do not exist because of this contradiction. This logic has been around since ancient Chinese!
