Why don't ghosts fall through floors?

D B Sweeney

We all know of cases where ghosts are seen to walk through walls, doors and other solid objects.

If they can easily pass through solid matter how do they manage to walk on solid floors and not simply fall through them and presumably continue to fall through the earths crust until they reach the core?.

The not so simple answer that I'll pre-empt - 'because they don't want to' begins to overly complicate the issue by putting in another level of speculation that raises further questions.

Isn't the simple answer that ghosts don't pass through floors simply because the ghost is not expected to pass through the floor?.

The ghost could possibly be to an extent bound by the same rules and laws such as gravity as when it was alive (for this period however long it may be - I dont believe any ghost remains that way indefinately) - in some instances it is believed that the ghost is fully aware of its current surroundings including the people there, but in others the ghost only sees the area it is in, as it was when it was alive - hence walls that were not there when it was alive - it simply cant see them

So how come they pass through walls but not floors?.

think about it db and see if you can come up with any possible explanations apart from 'because they dont exist mwahahaha Twisted Evil

I don't have your powers of logic Cactus Sad

I have quite rational reasons for doubting the existence of ghosts and spirits. The fact that they don't fall through floors simply confirms them.

Perhaps the laws aof physics don't apply to the ghost realm as they do here.
Science can't understand something it knows nothing about so the next step is denyal. Problem solved!

1990s, a report in uk. ghost seen 'walking along passage' but only showing from knees.
later found plans that the floor was made higher to accommodate higher ceiling below in 1940 so the ghost was walking on nothing 'the floor removed'

well i guess you would prefer me to state these things as fact, but thankfully i dont say anything to please anyone - for me the only fact is that ghosts do exist

I've got it... the ghost realm is sharing the same space as the Earth but in a differnt dimmention and some how when we see ghosts, it is these two realms overlaping.

Wrong there Cactus. I'm a sceptic and I simply need adequate evidence before I believe extraordinary claims. Everyones standards for what they're prepared to believe are different. I'm open to UFO's, Ghosts, Aliens etc and believe me I've studied them a lot and read hundreds of books and articles but 'stories' and YouTube videos aren't scientifically viable as evidence. If they are for you that's fine.

If you can't or won't answer the question I posed that's fine too - just don't respond with a comments that suggest I'm closed minded and not open to 'possibilities'. The 'evidence' you post would be laughed out of any third grade science class let alone a University physics group.
