Re: Whats your view on ghosts?
they do, but a whole lot of things are just our imagination. Back in the day when people lacked knowledge of mental illnesses, everything was attributed to Jinns. Who would understand things like depression 100 years ago? Health issues play a part also. For example, low and high blood pressure cause people to see and feel strange things. We know this now, but back in the day people just thought it was jinns.
There is a Q&A column in a Pakistani newspaper (Jang I think, its called Rohani Ilaaj), where a maulvi answers such questions. I have read it several times, and he himself has pointed this out. He often advices people to changing their diet, avoiding too much salt, red meat, etc. I know coming from a maulvi this is pretty impressive, one would think maulvi sahab would just give BS advice to keep his racket going, but the guy gives reasonable advice.
