Why aren’t cavemen seen as a ghost

It is thought that ghosts are recordings, a repetitive ghost which when seen will seem to be doing exactly the same thing over and over again on each sighting. Could the emotional residual energy of a violent incident be stored in physical surroundings because the energy left behind from these incidents is so strong? Staircases are a good place to experience haunting due to the amount of times people have been up and down the stairs creating a psychic impression and energy imprint.  

Old battlefields and prisons are famous for their residual haunting due to their traumatic events which created a psychic impression or psychic disturbance. It has been suggested that the porous stones of castle walls may soak up the energy; caves, in which cavemen lived would possibly have been less porous so residual energy would not have imprinted itself as easily. 

So why aren’t cavemen seen, there was certainly enough trauma to cause an energy impression during the prehistoric period. 

There is a theory known as the "Stone Tape Theory", which works on the same principle as video and audio tapes where images and sound are on a film of special material that has been oxidised or rusted. Certain building materials, such as slate used in older castles and stone structures and iron nails used in many older buildings have properties similar to that of the tapes, so when a traumatic event occurs or a time of heightened emotions, then these materials record the event for future playback. 

Ferric oxide or chromium dioxide can record information; we use this process in everyday things like video cassettes. 

Iron is everywhere in nature, it holds information, if it is magnetised in the right way: ghosts could probably be repeats of information that is stored in natural iron. As the earth contains iron, this may be an explanation of how ghosts or residual energy would manifest themselves on the battlefield, it’s as if someone has rewound the tape and just played it again. If someone dies a traumatic death or pace up and down the corridor in a state of extreme distress, then this information is somehow stored in natural iron around us, then elements of our situation can be recorded and under certain circumstances, re-transmitted as headless ghosts etc. 

Magnetic fields are produced by moving charged particles, spinning electrons within the atoms which generate the field or materials that can be strongly magnetised. High temperatures destroy magnetic properties which can be demagnetised by heat. Magnet relies on iron, which goes under several phase transitions at high temperatures which destroy its magnetic order. 

Volcanoes have been part of the earth’s history ever since it has had a solid surface for at least 4000 million years. Could this have been responsible for the extreme heat, destroying the magnetic field or due to huge meteorites, sending shockwave's, as vibration is also a contributing factor in destroying magnets as well as heat which could cause magnetic reversal? 

Maybe the earth developed more iron rich minerals in which iron has magnetic properties, after the prehistoric period, possibly from falling meteorites, which contain iron; this would then explain why there are more recorded sightings of ghosts. As the earth contains iron, then maybe this is an explanation of how ghosts or residual energy would manifest themselves. 

The same should apply to prehistoric man, but no one as yet, to my knowledge, has reported having ever seen evidence of one.  So could it be that the old residual energy has dissipated or could it have something more to do with the magnetic field being affected during the prehistoric era. 

All information collected for this article was done by secondary research by way of the internet and knowledge passed on by fellow colleagues.
