Do you believe ghosts are possible? If not, what do you think people's experiences of ghosts actually are? (lazysoci.al)

No. It would be neat, but there is no evidence for it. I say this as someone who used to believe and made a website in ~2001 about haunted locations, our visits to some, etc.

As for what people see, it really depends. Pareidolia is a thing, so humans, I think, often see things not exactly as they are, especially if it's something in the vision for a very brief amount of time.
