Beliefs about ghosts and their characteristics vary widely across different cultures, religions and traditions, the UK Paranormal Society explains.
Some people believe that ghosts are benign and may even offer guidance or protection, while others view them as malevolent entities that can cause harm or bring misfortune.
According to the Society, ghosts are believed by some people to be the spirits of the dead who have not yet moved on to the afterlife.
They are often described as ethereal, transparent, and incorporeal beings that can appear to people in various ways, such as through apparitions, sounds, and other sensory experiences.

Others believe ghost sightings to be a momentary glimpse into the past or another dimension, as per the Society.
From the mid-19th century onward, many have believed that spirits could be captured on camera. Nevertheless, there is no scientific evidence to support whether ghosts can be photographed.
Claims of ghost sightings in photos are often attributed to pareidolia, lens flares, or light anomalies.
While some people believe in ghost photography, experts generally explain these images as optical illusions or camera malfunctions.
