Now this is just a theory of mine..
But I suspect that neurons and or dna have currently unmeasurable quantum level effects on our environment. There could be something left behind after one dies. The details of the something are yet to be discovered. But we also could leave quantum level imprints everywhere we go while living.
I've speculated there are three types of 'haunting':
1. a "ghost" haunting ....the leftover quantum 'spirit' of some deceased person or animal.
2. a "trauma" haunting ... the imprint of a very intense emotional event, or series of events.
3. an "elemental" haunting ... this one is not a residual from something once living, but strange variations in the quantum field resulting from something in the local environment.
Though I am highly skeptical of "metaphysical" things. I also do recognize that science does not know everything, and we are continually making new discoveries. Currently, quantum physics is a very new science where "smashing things apart" is the dominant method of observation. maybe once we can develop smaller, lower energy equipment to observe the quantum level (rather then multi billion dollar things like the LHC) we will discover an amazing realm of things once considered to me impossible or "magic".
Remember, things that are commonplace now, we're considered witchcraft not long ago.
This theory of mine is just that, a theory. I keep an open mind with all things. Something is happening with what we call "ghosts and hauntings", we just haven't developed the science yet to accurately measure them.
