How come naked ghosts are such a rarity? Common theory says that ghosts project their own self-image. So, even if someone dies as an eighty year old man, they may remember themselves as a 22 year old fresh-faced recent college grad, in a fedora. Or a 22 year old fresh-faced college co-ed, if that's how they roll.
There is also a theory that says that ghosts get better at being ghosts, the longer they are ghosts. So, with practice, you learn how to move physical objects, make sounds and work on your appearance. This, I believe, is one explanation for "Shadow People." Shadow people are entities that appear as a shadowy person or a dark mass, sometimes quite small or sometimes quite large. If you haven't been a ghost for very long, you may not yet have the ability to gather enough energy to project a detailed self-image.
Some other theories on shadow people say that they are:
- Demons
- Aliens
- Some other life form
- The results of astral projection experiments conducted by the government
And, of course, when I say these are theories by other people, I mean, of course, kooks.
