ghost
why do ghosts come in definite patterns? A ghost in India always wears a white saree, associated with Jasmine and usually also involves delusions of smell, sound and vision (may include touch and rarely taste). A ghost in the western world is always about 100 - 150 years old and wears costumes of that period. Is it because the person who has been conditioned to see a ghost sees what he wants to see? If a child grows up with no concept of a ghost (like me) what would a ghost look like to him?hmm... now who was that behind me?

Thank you for writing about ghosts. So the ghost was personal to your mum? Did anyone else see it? You mentioned it was invisible to you. Do you agree with my hypotheses that ghosts are essentially inherent to a person. If he is a Tamilian, the chances are that he will see what he is aware of only i.e. Tamilian. If he has been exposed to other cultures he may incorporate that. But say for eg. he has never seen a Japanese guy, what will he make of a Japanese ghost? The eye will not see what the mind doesn't see.
opeh sir...any more of your ghost experiences? from your younger days, perhaps military school days. did you go to ghost well?
