How to Tell If A Ghost Is Real

Have you ever encountered a ghost? If you're a skeptic of the paranormal use these tests to find out if what you're seeing is a real ghost or something else.

Instructions

1. Be able to look directly at the ghost for at least 10 seconds. You need to have a good look at something before judging it to be a real ghost. Shadows that you see out of the corner of your eye don't count.

2. Circle around the ghost as you're looking at it. As you walk, your perspective will change - this should allow you discern something truly paranormal from just an oddly shaped shadow or trick of light.

3. Rule out hallucinations by crossing your eyes - hold your finger in front of your face and focus on your finger. If you get a double image of the ghost in the background, it is a real object. If not, it may be a visual hallucination.

4. Get a picture or video if possible. Getting hard evidence will back up your claims of seeing a real ghost.

5. Be wary of ghosts that appear shortly before you go to sleep or shorty after waking up. This could be a phenomenon known as a hypnagogic hallucination.
