We enjoy quite a few unprecedented technologies today, but much more of the stuff that we use has been around for ages. Ancient humans may not have been able to text or upload selfies, but they enjoyed everyday objects like flushable toilets, chewing gum and nice purses just like we do.I Inspired by imgur’s post, we decided to make an extended list of the oldest examples of everyday objects. Keep in mind that these are only the oldest surviving examples of these objects many of these may have existed or are known to have existed even earlier.

Thanks explorer .
let me share with you some experience, I leave you to believe if ghost exist nor not, am also a Christian, we dont believe in it also.
when I was in SS class a woman who lives two houses to us died immediately after giving birth, that brought the baby home, would you believe that people started noticing that the woman will come in the night and she will be crying by the window that she want to breastfeed her baby, she did that for more than a week, before they find a solution to it.
In akure, the capital city of Ondo state, more than ten years ago, there was an occurrence here, a woman came yo a particular house and told them her husband said she should come yo that house while he(husband) branch to buy something, not knowing that her husband has died more than 15 years ago, the ghost husband has fathered three children, all looking exactly like the man, that was the last time we saw the man.

15. The White House is haunted by a number of ghosts, including that of Abigail Adams, who has reportedly been seen hurrying toward the East Room, where she used to hang her laundry.
Psychics believe that President Abraham Lincoln has never left the White House. For more than 70 years, presidents, first ladies, guests and members of the White House staff have claimed to have either seen Lincoln or felt his presence. Lincoln’s ghost was particularly prevalent during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, as the country struggled through a devastating depression followed by a world war. The Netherlands’ Queen Wilhelmina was a guest at the White House during that period, and was awakened one night by a knock on her bedroom door. Upon opening the door, she saw the figure of Lincoln, top hat and all,standing in the hallway. The queen fainted, and upon recovering consciousness, she found herself lying on the floor. The apparition had vanished.

Once our heart stops beating, past few minutes we are considered dead. Person who passed away gets buried, cremated or burnt according to rules of their religion. However it is to be noted that only body dies spirit flies out of the body. Most of our sacred books support Body gets destroyed but the soul remains above all the pain.
It gets a new body in heaven like we change our tore dresses, and takes birth again. But few of the soul don't take the Arial route to afterlife due to many reasons and stick on this earth. Some people believes many spirits roam for revenge due to untimely killing, or because of their loved ones.
Though there is no scientific evidence whatsoever proves the existence of ghosts(intelligent spirits of those who have passed away). But some books and movies have shown much about ghosts.
