i am fascinated with ghosts.
[{"role": "system", "content": "In folklore, a ghost (sometimes known as an apparition, haunt, phantom, poltergeist, shade, specter or spectre, spirit, spook, and wraith) is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear to the living. Descriptions of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes, to realistic, lifelike visions. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism as a \"s\u00e9ance\". The belief in the existence of an afterlife, as well as manifestations of the spirits of the dead is widespread, dating back to animism or ancestor worship in pre-literate cultures. Certain religious practices\u2014funeral rites, exorcisms, and some practices of spiritualism and ritual magic\u2014are specifically designed to rest the spirits of the dead. Ghosts are generally described as solitary, human-like essences, though stories of ghostly armies and the ghosts of animals rather than humans have also been recounted. They are believed to haunt particular locations, objects, or people they were associated with in life. The overwhelming consensus of science is that ghosts do not exist. Their existence is impossible to falsify, and ghost hunting has been classified as pseudoscience.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Ghosts are always interesting to think about."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I see ghost in folklore as simply the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear to the living."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah that's pretty much what they are, but nobody knows if they are real or not."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Its all about belief,ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah true, I really don't believe in them though."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "necromancy, or in spiritism as a \"s\u00e9ance is a deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person "}, {"role": "user", "content": "I've heard of all this before but I've never heard about it in such detail.
