Yes i belive they can hide keys, it happened to us last year, our keys were not in their usual place ,we looked everywhere still no luck so i told my hubby we would look for them when we had done our shopping.
After checking his coat pockets to see if they were there, no luck there just his travel ticket and a few coins we set off out on the short walk to the bus stop when a voice in my head said tell him to look in his pocket again the keys are there and they were i didnt tell him how i knew because he would think i was going mad lol |

It was really strange because he hadnt worn that coat for at least a month and to find the keys in a pocket he had just looked in was weird to say the very least |

As I've said in another thread, playing with the living is the only form of entertainment much of the deceased know. |

Good point but it works the other way -Believing in ghosts is the only entertainment much of the living know.

also the ghost might not be 'hiding' the items - maybe the ghost died in his sleep or something and doesnt realise he/she is dead - and they are still living their everday lives in ignorance interacting with what is around them, until they realise - i would make it clear when i try to communicate with it - 'do you realise you are dead?' |

Ghosts can't die Cactus - they're already dead
Maybe ghosts choose to stay on the physical plane because heaven is full of self righteous Christians or perhaps there's lots of doors 'on the other side' but no keys?.
Or they've not all seen the movie 'Ghost'?.

i dont think its black and white - i dont believe there are any solid rules, only possibilities
one thing i do believe is that there are two types of hauntings - residual and intelligent, for what reasons this is the case i dont know |

We rely on what we know and what we know comes from science and the discoveries made using scientific methodology.
Of course - it's possible that ghosts exist and when we die our 'soul' lives on but there's zero scientific evidence to support that claim - despite science looking for evidence for the last 200 years.
This is how scientists think and the logical steps that they follow when evaluating any hypothesis or claim.
1. Keep an open mind but be sceptical of any unsubstantiated claim.
2. Make sure a claim or belief can be tested.
3. Evaluate the quality of the evidence for a belief (eg, assess the tightness of the controls and don't rely on anecdotal evidence).
4. Try to falsify a claim or belief (eg, look for disconfirming evidence).
5. Consider alternative explanations.
6. Other things being equal, choose the claim or belief that is the simplest explanation for the phenomenon (ie, the one that has the fewest assumptions - see Occam's Razor).
7. Other things being equal, choose the claim or belief that doesn't conflict with well established knowledge (ie, the laws of physics etc).
8. Proportion your belief to the amount of evidence for or against that belief - anecdotes and YouTube videos don't count as evidence.
We should certainly keep an open mind when it comes to the paranormal but we should be very sceptical of any claim that's unsubstantiated.

Also with science even proved conclosions are only tempruary and should something new be discovered they can be completely bined as the new understanding comes to light.
Theres a problem with some skeptics too, they are not skeptic enough and tend to accept the given knolage as fact. |

Agentscott, true - the first man to claim the earth was not the centre of the universe was nearly executed for such blasphemy |
