This is a website called the skeptics dictionary. It defines what skeptics/scientists think about ghosts. There definition of a ghost is an alleged disembodied spirit of a dead person. They go on to explain the science of why people claim to feel like they have a ghost watching them or why they are hearing sounds. They use the critical thinking process and they do the scientific research as well as experiments to prove that ghosts are simply not real. In this case this would be a firm sense of belief and would fall under the ideological support red flag.

Some people try to talk to ghosts by getting together around a table in a dark room. They call such a meeting a séance. The leader of the séance is called a medium. A medium is someone who says he or she can get ghosts to come to the room to give signs to living people that the ghost is real.

This is a website called ghost activities that is run by ghosts enthusiasts who post articles, pictures and paranormal sightings about ghosts. If you look through the website they are firm believers in the paranormal. This group is missing scientific evidence and the cause of critical thinking. There is no real proof that these photos have gone under analysis and/or have been interpreted by real scientists. I believe that these people believe because they have an emotional connection with a dead relative or they were brought up believing in spirits.

This article titled "Are Ghosts Real" published by Live Science it gives a scientific explanation on what scientists believe about ghosts. the author states thats it is a hard topic to discuss because there is no known definition of what a ghost is. Many scientists use different definitions. A reason for belief in this article is weighted on the side of belief or disbelief. The author of this article states, "If ghosts are real, and are some sort of as-yet-unknown energy or entity, then their existence will (like all other scientific discoveries) be discovered and verified by scientists through controlled experiments — not by weekend ghost hunters wandering around abandoned houses in the dark late at night with cameras and flashlights." This being said the red flag that comes to mind is ideological support because of the belief of science. In addition, ancient wisdom can also be used due to ghosts appearing in countless stories, from the Bible to "Macbeth".

Are Ghosts Real? — Evidence Has Not Materialized

One difficulty in scientifically evaluating is ghost are real is the surprisingly wide variety of phenomena attributed to ghosts.

This is a Ted Talks of a lady who tells a story that she was haunted by a ghost. She felt like there was a constant pressure on her chest she herd sounds and she constantly felt like there was someone watching her. She soon called a skeptic ghost hunter who gave her the idea that she may have a carbon monoxide leak which gives the same symptoms of what she was feeling. Low and behold she had a carbon monoxide leak in her home and the technicians said she could have died. In conclusion, she has been woking in this field for some time now and she proclaims that whenever someone calls her about something paranormal 10x out of 10 science is the answer.
I would say this source is highly credible and there is no denying that there wasn't a carbon monoxide leak. If she didn't ask for help she could have died of carbon monoxide poisoning and maybe would've blamed it on the "ghost" that was haunting her. I do believe in science AND the paranormal. most times scientists have the authority over a "ghost hunter" which put this video under the red flag appeal to authority.

This is an episode of Ghosts Busters. The men that were tracking down the ghosts in this episode are 2 men with no credentials in paranormal and they use EMFS monitors to see in any fluctuations which can mean that there is suspicious ghostly activity. People have reason to believe because it is fun and exciting to watch. Proof of verbosity is a good red flag example.
I choose this one because the ghost hunters are overwhelming watchers with information to create the appearance of thorough research. it is lacking proof that these machines they use actually work and they have never actually caught a ghost on camera before. They could easily be adding in sound effects and make things "magically move". In my opinion its quantity over quality and there is no real evidence behind it.

This is a new cast that was streamed live about a couple that caught a ghost on their phone at the Stanley hotel in Colorado. A reason to believe that this is true is because there was an infamous family that lived in this home that died due to a fire. The hotel is known for its "ghost tours" which explains the history of the home.
The famous movie the shining was recorded in this hotel.
I would say that this could be either appeal to authority red flag or emotional connection. I think this because people believe what is on the news and since they did broadcast this it draws people to believe based on the fact that it is CTV. It could also be true, and the ghosts are staying and appearing because of the emotional connection they have to the home.

'Ghosts' caught on camera at the Stanley Hotel

This is a famous photo that was taken in 1936 called the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall. It is believed that a lady called Lady Townshend who was married to Charles Townshend haunts the Raynham Hall in Norfolk. It is told that skeptics believe that it was grease on the lense that obscured the image.
Photo analyst Joe Nickel concluded that it is an obsured image of two pictures together. Due to a story Charles kept his wife captured in the home due to infidelity and she was never aloud to leave. She ended up dying in the home and has been haunting it ever since. It was reported that King Charles the IV saw the ghost while staying in the home.
The red flag that comes to mind is emotional connection. I believe she haunts the home because thats the only place she knew for her entire life and she has a strong emotional connection to the home.

This is a photo that was taken of a couple and there is a figure which looks like a ghosts figure in the frame. There is evidence missing because is could potentially be edited and fake. Skeptics believe that this is a faulty image due to long exposure of somebody that walked by unnoticed.

A family of Australia reveiled a photo of the family swimming in a lake that a girl died in 100 years ago. Her face appears in this picture.

There is very little evidence and information about this photo and it could potentially be edited and fake. Since this is a place that the little girl died the potential red flag could be an emotional connection. Since this is a photo we will never really know proof of evidence if this photo is real.
