1: I define a ghost as the remnants of a once living human that is seperate from the body. In my original post, I stated that this would, rather than "ectoplasm" or any other traditional material, I theororize that if they exist, they would be composed of information. 2: As mantioned before, I am only just out of middle school. I have no means by witch to test this. One way I believe this could be tested would be to develope an "omnisensor" of sorts that is able to collect information in any state. 3: When you turn off your computer, all of the information is stored in the hard drive and ROM.

This is my first time posting on this forum, or any for that matter, so I appologise in advance for any mistakes I may make. Also, as I only have an 8th grade education, I cannot describe my theory by use of equation or the like. My theory is that when a person dies, they become a "ghost." I mean a ghost in both the traditional term and a non-traditional term. Traditional in that the ghost is the remains of a human left on earth. Non-traditional in that it is not a soul and does not exist in a spectral state. As a human grows and lives out life, their mind collects information. When a human dies, their mind cannot support the information any longer. However, information cannot be destroyed. I theororize that this information takes on an intangable form. Intangable because information does not have mass. This collection of information left over from a human's death would contain said human's thoughts, personality, memory, etc. This would cause the ghost to, in effect, be the human that the information came from. I have researched this to the best of my ability and have yet to find anything that disproves this theory. If anyone does find something that contradicts this, please tell me.
