I'm thinking they're more like a glimpse into a different time perspective. Time, after all, is an illusion. The only thing separating the past, present and future is your perception of it. So ghosts are kind of like a bit of a radio signal you pick up from far away. It fades in for a second, and can be really clear, then it fades out again.
I'd like to see some living people go to where the Ghost Hunters or whoever have been doing an investigation, and see if they can "project" themselves back in time to show up for the team. That would be an interesting experiment.

I would say UFOs are definitely extra-dimensional origin. Seeing as how they move so quickly and can avoid radar. I remember hearing about a guy on Coast 2 Coast, David Sereda. He said that while he was at Berkley University a UFO was in the sky above during a demonstration. The object just appeared out of nowhere. He said basically imagine this parallel universe where the object originated from as a body of water and the object is a fish. Imagine our view from above the surface is our universe as the image of the fish is going to be obscured and hard to see because of the way light passes through water. And then imagine the fish jumping out of the water. Now the fish/object is in our universe and we can see it perfectly. Until it jumps back in the water. Make sense?
disembodied spirits or ghosts have many reasons why they might be entangled with the earthly physical plain.
typically due to strong emotions or sensations during life, which can impact the etheric field of an area. So the etheric field might recreate the experience, without necessarily the originator soul taking part.
Then there are ghosts of people who couldn't get into the spirit world for not being compatible, typically through excessive aggression or unacceptance of peers.
There are multiversal spirits which inhabit various thought tangents,
sometimes called demons, they live in a limited range of thoughts,
their purpose is to provide you with (new) information related to what you're already thinking.
Then there are spirits that are obssessed with physical life (some british soldier continued fighting parallel-dimension zulus over 200 years after death)
or unaware they have died (sudden traumatic death), or think they are confined to an area (prisons, mental institutions).

I am also skeptical of those who claim to have all the answers, because no one has all the answers to anything (which is why most of us come to ATS LOL)........there have been ghost sightings in new buildings though. As for the evps etc.....maybe something affects the ability to communicate....just like the early days of cell phones, when you got out of range or calling from a car, it would come out garbled and broken......who knows? I think all this is tied in to other dimensions/parallel universes, or whatever......even dreams and near death experiences.....eg. "the light" people see when dying. I think that is just the transition to that dimension or universe.

I don't like the different time period/parallel theory because, although they may often look the part, when 'ghosts' or 'spirits' communicate audibly (by EVP, disembodied voice,banging..etc) they almost always seem dumb and half-witted in their communication, like crazy people walking around mumbling nonsense and beating on the walls when you try to talk to them. Very much like the classic 'ghost' that haunts the old house and scares the local kids away. They seem to hide, play games, and don't like to be bothered by the living. Why?
I believe in the phenomena of 'ghosts', however I am sceptical whenever people claim to have answers. In my mind, we are only at the beginning of discovering what the phenomena really is, and most of the accepted theories ('spirits' of dead people...etc) should be taken with a grain of salt until we can get a better understanding.
Frankly, ' spirits' and their behavior rarely make sense.. some examples: a full bodied apparition commonly walks thru walls/doors, but not thru ceilings/floors/tables/chairs..etc? What keeps them on the floor when aren't walking/floating thru something? Full bodied apparitions are rarely nakid. We hear of dog/cat spirits, occasionally some other animal, but why no ghosts of bears? Deer? Insects? Rabbits? Shouldn't the ghosts of animals be all around our highways and freeways? Old -abandoned- buildings seem to be common places for hauntings, but rarely modern hospitals where patients die horrible, traumatic deaths nearly daily? etc etc...
