If something is real, it's not supernatural.

"Supernatural refers to phenomena or entities that are beyond the laws of nature. The term is derived from Medieval Latin supernaturalis, from Latin super- (above, beyond, or outside of) + natura (nature) Though the corollary term "nature", has had multiple meanings since the ancient world, the term "supernatural" emerged in the Middle Ages and did not exist in the ancient world". (Wikipedia/supernatural)

"An engraving of the Hammersmith Ghost appears in Roger Kirby's Wonderful and Scientific Museum, a magazine published in 1804. The "ghost" turned out to be an old local cobbler who used a white sheet to get back at his apprentice for scaring his grandchildren". (Wikipedia/ghost)

In this text, I will not handle ghosts as jokes. In the beginning, I must just say, that there are cases where some people made jokes and fake things like ghost photos or dressed as ghosts. Same way in some cases the person who looks like a buried person causes ghost alarms. In those cases, the likeness between living and dead persons causes stories about ghosts.

Ghosts as a psychological phenomenon.

If we think that ghosts are real, we must ask what they might be. There is the possibility that ghosts are flashbacks. We see somebody who has often been in some place. Because that person has often been in some place, our brain will remember that thing. And that's why we see people, who we know but who passed away even if that person is dead. But in that case, ghosts are a psychological phenomenon.

In some cases, ghosts come in our dreams, and we could explain them as a message from our subconscious that we are forgetting something. In that kinds of cases, ghosts ask us for help to find the person, who murdered them, etc. We must remember that our subconsciousness operates while we sleep, and maybe we see that the police forgot something. So if we think something very often, that thing remains in our brain.

In some cases, places like cemeteries and ghost stories are causing psychological hallucinations. People might start to imagine things like ghosts and vampires when they are in places like cemeteries at night time.

Could quantum computers explain ghosts?

But could ghosts be real? Sometimes some philosophers suggest that ghost is the electromagnetic phenomenon. That attempt to explain the ghost is the model, where the ghost is some kind of intelligent fog. There is a small possibility that some atoms can turn into quantum computers. The idea is that energy transforms the oxygen atom in the water droplet into a quantum computer. And there is a small possibility that the EEG of the person can jump into those atom-size quantum computers.

In that kind of case, the ghost is the soul, that is separated from the body. The soul would be hanging around if the person dies too often. And then we might ask what is the soul? In some models, the body is like a machine and the soul is the electromagnetic phenomenon. So, the soul would be our body's operating system. But could the soul separate from the body? That is the question. If that thing is true, the ghosts would be explained by using some other than supernatural explanations.

Things like quantum mechanics are giving us answers about things like consciousness. And there is a possibility that the neurotransmitters of the animals or humans would transfer to another person's body. And the big question is could the brain read those neurotransmitters?

Maybe the origin of the dragon myths is the king cobra.

The UFOs are the technical equipment like some cars. And maybe the origin of the dragon stories is the vultures or snakes like king cobras.

When we are talking about the UFOs we should think that those things are machines. They are like cars or aircraft. Maybe they are more advanced than some T-ford. But in that model, the UFO is a manned or robot vehicle that can travel a little bit extraordinarily. The fact is that in that way thinking the UFO is not supernatural.

Today researchers know that something that we call "supernatural" has an explanation. We know that things like dragons are supernatural. Today we know that things like King Cobras and some other snakes act like mythic dragons.

Sometimes the vultures are suggested as the root of the tale of dragons. Sometimes vultures vomit things that they ate against the attackers. And that chemical mixture is quite toxic. But even if mythic dragons would exist they would be species, not anything supernatural. They would be species that have different names in modern times.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to form the blue giant or too small it can collapse straight into a black hole . If the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts. The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists model of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

"New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
