Interesting, but it's bullshit. And anyway, this whole thing about ghosts looking human. The only reason we have a face, body, arms etc is to be able to physically operate and survive in a mortal world. A ghost wouldn't need a human body.

Then why was the '2' real hot on the thermal cam

It's fake. Probably where he was standing from the first time to the second weren't the same place.
The locker door is probably pushed in a bit giving the impression someone was standing there. Plus thermal cameras can't see past objects like a locker door.

Plus they said the number 2 was giving off red meaning it was hot, but when he moves closer a bit it turns white, and when he moves further back it turns another colour.

that guys own words sum it up.
"[...] when we catch something on the thermal imaging camera it's not very impressive."

Its intriguing, but I'm always a skeptic. Still, it at least appears these guys are taking it with a grain of salt, and are only concluding that they caught "something" in the thermal imaging camera.

Isn't the whole point of a "ghost" to be your soul walking around lost. YOU.

In other words, it represents how you thought of yourself. Thats why you dont see ghosts from hundreds of years ago walking around today wearing nike :dork:

Its many things to many people. I think the general idea is just a lost soul that hasnt been put to rest because of an unjust death or "lack of closure" to the death. As such the soul roams around looking for this closure, and the only way it can get it is to torment the living with its presence until closure is met. I think this idea fits into the notion of heaven and hell being how the dead are remembered by the living as opposed to being physical places where "souls" go, so if the living arent aware of the unjust death, then until they are aware of it and closure has been met, the soul of the dead one will haunt them or be around to ensure that someday closure is met.

...yadda yadda yadda.

Pop culture really skews the classic, mythical, and almost romantic view of souls, ghosts, and the dead.

true, today's ghosts are all samurai sword-wielding little girls with ninja powers

Newsflash. Ghosts do not exist. If they did you would be seeing them everywhere you go. Billions and billions of people have died throughout the planets history and if we are to believe they all had souls you would never ever be able to take a shit or have a wank in peace.

That's a very reasonable explanation: Ghosts do not exist because we couldn't shit and wank peacefully :icon14:

Why didn't they touch the number 2 to see if it was hot?

Beacuse they were waiting for the Ghost Busters to get there, dummy. You just can't go around touching haunted number twos without an ectoplasmic rifle handy. What are you, crazy?

That's in then, Dr. Drum has ruled on the matter.

That was a cool vid. My friend has a video he taped where him and some friends were going to a "haunted" graveyard. When they got there, right before they entered the graveyard, something red flew right by the camera. At first he didn't noticed, but then when they were watching the tape they noticed it.

Regarding the number two painted on the locker door. Some white paints have radioactive elements present (luminescent paints in particular) which show up on thermal imaging as heat signatures... which are just are just high elements of the light spectrum.

DRuM will be dead soon. He can tell us.
