Why are ghost only seen at night?

Another common question I get is "why are ghost only seen at night"?  Because they are scared of people and people sleep at night so that is when ghost can come out and play. lol  No, that's not true so don't go tell anyone that.:)

Ok so here is a better answer.  In short, they are not only seen at night. Ghost are around us at all times of the day.  However, it is true that the majority are experienced after dark.  It is thought that most people die between the hours of 2am and 6am, which is why most occurrences are recorded at night.  Also, at night, their are less people around and some spirits would prefer it that way.  This is only a theory, but it seems to be the most plausible explanation. 

Another theory is that ghosts consist of energy and often take the form of light anomalies, which means that they are more difficult to see with the naked eye if the surrounding light is good.  This may explain why ghosts and light anomalies are not often seen or detected during the daylight, as a light is easier to see in the dark and easier to see with the naked eye.

You can capture some great pictures in the daylight.  Ectoplasm is said to be associated with the formation of spirits.  I believe I have captured a picture with just that.

Well hope that helps answer the question on why ghost are only seen at night.  If nothing else, maybe it offers somewhat of an explanation.

This is one of my favorite pictures.  It was taken on my lunch hour at an old abandon cemetery in Lake Dallas.  The Eason Cemetery.  What an awesome place!  Lots of unmarked graves, graves with dates back in the 1800's and as you can see from the Ectoplasm very active.  You can clearly see the mist over these graves.

At the Menger Hotel.  Hard to see but I circled an orb behind the gentleman.
