Brian Sterling-Vete, PhD, heads up the world’s first Paranormal Rescue service with bases in the UK and the US.

With over a decade of paranormal analysis, Sterling-Vete believes that ghosts are dying out, which he details in his Project Half-Life report.

“When all the data was considered, it was quite a shock to think that many of our once-famous ghosts could be literally dying,” he said.

The study included 100 well-known haunted spots, with reports of sightings and spirits spanning back hundreds of years ago.

In recent years, there’s been a serious dearth of reported sightings.

“It was apparent that famous ghosts in once-notably haunted locations were being seen increasingly less frequently, and some had not been seen in many years.”

“Project Half-Life suggests that sentient ghosts seem to have a limited lifespan, just like living humans.”

“In simple terms, the second law of thermodynamics tells us that energy tends to disperse and degrade over time.

“I would argue that our findings show ghosts do conform to the second law of thermodynamics as they appear to run out of energy.”

The ghosts that experts were able to “interact” with throughout their research were around 100 years old or less.
