Human beliefs that are related to ghost.pdf

Beliefs about ghosts vary across cultures and religions but generally revolve around the idea that spirits of the deceased linger in the world of the living due to unfinished business, sudden death, or improper burial rites. Many religious traditions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, view ghosts as souls trapped between realms due to karma or attachment, while Western folklore often depicts them as translucent apparitions haunting specific locations. In some cultures, like those in China and the Philippines, ghosts are believed to be vengeful or restless, such as "hungry ghosts" in Taoism or "white ladies" in folklore. Psychological and emotional factors, such as grief and fear of the unknown, also contribute to ghost beliefs, shaping supernatural experiences and ghost stories worldwide.
