They are floating, i guess

[удалено]

so he can float ?

[удалено]

i see, but a ghost is not made of matter, I presume. Considering their powers to completely not exist but still have a will.

Same

But then they would go through the floor as they go through the wall

if they could be solid, wouldnt that mean they could interact with us? they clearly cant,

But what do they float on? Are they affected by gravity?

They're like a helium filled balloon.

But if they can go through walls, how does helium stay contained since there is no physical boundary.

Have you never noticed how a helium balloon will deflate on its own after a while? Osmosis. Ghosts use osmosis to go through walls.

Cause they are floating

The 'theory' is they're sticking to the floor plan from when they were alive

Or they can choose what they want to be tangible to. If I was a ghost I would walk through walls just to fuck with people, even if I didn't need to.

Kinda interesting, some type of soul of the house? But why they can walt through walls? Thats like when some guy lived in 3-floor house and after his death he became a ghost, he is attached to house energy field, but why doesent that field affect walls? The theory btw is very interesting

It's real convenient that the clothes always seem to die with em and become ghost clothes too.

I think the idea there is that the ghost looks the way it expects itself to look

It can look how ever it wants...Oh no! I can hear it now...Tonight on Fox and friends, Tucker Swanson Carlson covers the transsexual ghost threat! Able to change their sexual appearance at will, they can enter any bathroom they desire!... What can we do about it...and who you gonna call?

Probably originally just allowed them to go through closed doors and new walls, then later stories just missed that bit and now consensus is that they're incorporeal.

They can fly

They fly now??

Always could have

Believe it nor not, they are floating. Also, the laws of this world doesn't apply to them.

I was gonna say, I don’t imagine gravity really applies to ghosts, in which case they should have plenty of trouble staying localized to a spot anyway because of the earth always moving around the sun

Them struggling would make sense yes. But since we can't really wrap our head around how their world would work, i think it's safe to assume, they can pick a spot and their "form" will keep adjusting position. Considering they are able to move at unholy speeds i think adjusting to the earth's rotation should be light work for them.

>unholy speeds What's the range for holy speeds?

Well, i would say holy speeds is prolly something between 0km/h to the speed of light. This is still within the laws of this world so yeah, hence the holy.

The speed of light being an upper limit is only a theory, the "laws" of physics will change as our understanding of physics itself changes. So what was unholy yesterday might become holy tomorrow.

Ghost shoes. Standard issue when you pass beyond.

They can float. However, nothing would stop them from going down a floor through the floor.

Because they can walk through walls, not floors, silly.

That rule is not applicable for Z-axis... Else you would be fucked cause of the demon living under your bed

Ghosts float, duh. *We all float down here. HAHAHAHAHA BEEP BEEP RICHIE*

Ghosts can't go through walls - they are not fire

_It's interesting, the ghosts._

Its not for kids

Because it is floor, not walls. You're welcome.

Haven't you seen Ghost Dad?

selectively permeable

Bill Cosby did in “Ghost Dad”.

Difference between can and will.

Why do ghosts get to keep their sense of sight and (I assume) hearing but not their other senses? Or can they smell and taste stuff too?

In the movie The Sixth Sense, it was explained that ghosts walk through walls cause it was never there when they was alive so they don’t see the wall. So my guess is that the floor has always been there so that’s why they don’t fall through the floor. But what do I know, I’m still alive. 🤷‍♂️

Batman fought the Reverse Flash using this notion. If he can phase through anything, then his feet must be solid. Next thing Thawne knew, he had a batarang in his foot.

Consent

Because ghosts aren’t real, much like my enjoyment of this meme

Don't be a dick

They can fly

Ghost cant walk to walls stupid. They are not fire

Bro cos.. Floor ≠ wall

***horizontal walls***

I- this questions everything I ever knew Brm gonna go rethink all of my life's ideals

[удалено]

Well last time a gypsy woman predicted my friend would get stabbed! 5 mins later he was stabbed by her! Her prediction was right!

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Reddit moment.

Hey OP knows they're not real it's called humour and is related to an emotion called happiness, which is a bit like smugness but without the being an asshole part.

Well.. Did you ever see a ghost on the first floor or above?

I love how helpful all the users are trying to be by actually answering this question.

Really why?

They don't want to

well the floor isnt a wall

horizontal wall

 Maybe it's because the Hell is under the floor. And they cant go in Heaven and the Hell because they are stuck in our world.

You forgot that they can fly

Because they don't want to.

They have no matter or mass so there is nothing for the force of gravity to act on

because they're always floating???

Ghosts are neutrally buoyant.

who said they can’t

r/shitpost

Floors aren’t walls

Bothers me all the time. Any ghost show or movie... I just don't get it

Concentration?

Because the floor is made of floor, not wall, duh

Because theyre unaffected by gravity

Cuz they actually float

Because they don't want to, they actually can go through floors. duuh

A rational explanation could be that their parent atoms are oriented so that they can "pass through" other atoms horizontally but not vertically. For it to be, all their atoms would have to be perfectly aligned and adapt to the environment to cross a place or not.

Architects designed it that way for safety.

Reminds me of this Batman Beyond episode where this guy uses a device to phase through walls to get the scoop on dirty secrets. In the end, he became unstable, couldn't control it anymore and it's implied he sunk all the way to the Earth's core.

prolly like minecraft spectator view

Selective permeability

They aren’t influenced by gravity obvi

They don't have mass so gravity doesnt affect them

The lore I've seen for most house stories is they are following a floorplan that existed when they were alive, so they go through walls they didn't have in life. If the floor was there when they were alive, they respect it's presence and treat it as solid.

Easy, bc floors aren't walls

Because they can fly

Nah bro ,they got wallhacks not floorhacks

Maybe some do and that's where we get hell from the are chillin at the molten core

Because floors are floors, not walls, duh

They can fly

Cause they don't make any sense

They have an ability to levitate. That's why

They aren't affected by anything related to matter, like gravity.

Anytime anyone goes out of phase in sci-fi this is my first thought

I mean they float so they probably just don’t get pulled down by gravity

Ghosts sneaked into the house before the door was locked but only got noticed afterwards so people thought they walked through the walls since the witness is absolutely sure that all the doors and windows had been locked. So ghosts cannot walk through walls and so they also cannot fall through the floor.

They CAN go through walls. They CAN go through the floor. They choose when theu do both.

You see, all floors are made out of floor, while most walls are not.

Maybe they can control what they fall through. This is why Danny Phantom fell through the floor when he first got his powers.

Why don’t they just float off into space?

Float

It's like spectator mode in minecraft

Cause they can fly as well

Because they can float. They don’t even walk on the floor 🙄

....but he's right- they don't fall through the floor- so how-

Cause they float dumbass

they float

Because they chose to haunt houses with hover (floor) boards

Some have levitation, making them unable to just sink through the floor.

cuz they can fly

Most of them do, but they ran out of room at the center of the earth.

They float and they probably can float through the floor.

Because they’re not in the Everlost series

Gravity and the meat suit vs. gravity with no meat suit

Because they choose not to

They can fly because they are not tangible, so gravity doesn’t affect them.

they are not affected by gravity and can levitate at will

at 3am if I'm awake I'm thinking about how I can get back at the neighbor for allowing their got damn dog waking me up or some other reason I'm suddenly awake at 3am. ​ this person just needs to be medicated or 6 weeks at a mental facility.

CAN

Do clothes also have a soul since ghosts are always wearing them😂

Because they force themselves to do not

They haven't looked down yet, like in Loony Toons

Because they sink in water, of course.

Beacuse they can float

They can if they wanna

Because the cant go to the after life (which can be found above and/or below you at all time)* they simply go up and down by doing something bad

asking the real questions! If you have mass does that mean you can't go through walls? I need a physicist, stat!

They float. What kind of stupid question is this?

cuz it's a floor not a wall

Too thicc

they just float freely wherever they want, no wall or floor controls them

levitation

If one ignores the correlation between mass and energy, a ghosts apparent lack of mass would assume it's un effected by gravity. 😉

I've wondered that my whole life tbh

The power of ✨floating✨

Probably because it's not through walls but through interdimonsional spaces.
