when ghosts are traveling in our universe (whatever they came from) they must obey our fundamental laws of physics.

Hmmmm as in the Ghost Busters Proton Blasters?

Fun discussion.

We don't fully understand our universe and we don't know all the laws of physics. We don't have all the information. There are layers of dimensions that may be interacting and we don't know about it so they could be following laws of the other dimension while it's interacting with this one. And there could be bleed over that causes the laws to fail.
Good discussion. I'm looking forward to the responses.
Proposed in the 1970s as a possible explanation for ghosts. The Stone Tape Theory speculates that inanimate materials can absorb energy from living beings. In other words a ‘recording’ or track is laid down during moments of high tension, such as murder. This stored energy can consequently be released, resulting in a display of the recorded activity. The replay can take the form of a full manifestation or partial sounds such as voices or footsteps. Paranormal investigators commonly refer to such phenomena as residual hauntings. Ghosts are not spirits but non-interactive recordings similar to the registration capacities of an audiotape machine that can playback previously recorded events. While the theory may explain some ghostly sightings, no one knows what the recorded energy actually is. However, the possibility that it could be composed by our natural electric and magnetic fields is one of the explanations that the Stone Tape Theory advances.
For years paranormal investigators have spoken about the 'Stone tape theory' as an explanation for some types of apparition. Referred to as the recording apparition, such manifestations characteristically are seen to perform some action without reference or acknowledgement to either the witnesses or to their surroundings. A Figure moving through a wall where once a door stood, or climbing a long removed staircase are classic examples of such encounters.
Rather like a TV programme can be recorded onto a tape or DVD, events or emotions can be recorded into the very fabric of buildings or indeed the surrounding ground. The events are then played back at a later time causing the viewer to interpret the recorded impressions as an apparition.

I don't agree with your theory,though interesting. If ghosts are made up of electrical/magnetic matter then they ARE made of energy. We do not know all the laws of physics yet,and I doubt if we ever will. Further more when you start factoring in other dimensions and how it interacts with our own,there is no telling what laws from one dimension supersedes another. Like I said,interesting,but I don't agree with what I know about energy. Energy can never be destroyed,it simply takes another form,therefore if ghosts are energy of ANY kind,they will not be destroyed,only changed.
