Are ghosts capable of communicating with the living?
Under our hypotheses, they are very limited. From the science of neurology we know that memory is stored in the brain through electrochemical processes and the chemical part creates a problem. It cannot survive bodily death, meaning that “ghosts” would not have long term memory. Oddly enough, this could also possibly discredit electronic voice phenomena (EVP) as the “ghost” would not have the memory to answer your questions. (Although we still do the EVP thing out of curiosity) However, it may be possible that they have a limited memory of thoughts that occurred just before death. They would also have no ability to perceive the passage of time or be an observer (for that also requires memory). They would, in fact, be quite literally lost.
