Even Hitch 22, the autobiog of arch-atheist Christopher Hitchens has one. I'm always fascinated by how many autobiographies contain an episode involving a possible ghost, premonition or prophetic dream. Strange things happen and nobody knows how or why. They know, by the circumstances, that it wasn't somebody's idea of a practical joke.

But they don't go away.Īt least one in three people I know has had an experience hinting at some other level of existence. The problem is that scientists tend to believe that everything in existence should be subject to human control, and ghosts are nicely outside the box.
