But what happens when someone dies in space? There are no buildings for a spirit to hold on, there is no ground, there is not even air that a spirit could attach to, there is only room.
Perhaps if someone died on board a spacecraft, the Spirit could chase that ship in the same way that those who die at sea were sometimes claimed to have chased their ships. We have all heard the term “Ghost Ship”, but a “Ghost Space Ship” is a new concept.
Let’s assume that a spirit could chase a fixed point in space, let’s say that an astronaut died during a mission halfway through Mars on board a space shuttle. Within a few minutes after their death, the point of death would be thousands of kilometers away from the shuttle.
This is because the earth runs the sun at 67,000 miles per hour, when a shuttle rises from the earth, it has the same momentum, it will also revolve around the same speed around the sun, but if the spirit adheres to a fixed point in the room, the spirit stays in the room while the shuttle (and earth) leaves with around 18 miles per second.
Assuming that spirits have no physical shape, because we often have to believe, we can conclude that they also have no masses. This would mean that the mind is not subject to slowness or momentum in the same way as the shuttle. It would also not be performed by gravity.
To make this even more complicated, the shuttle not only moves in connection with the sun, to quote Monty Python: “Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars we can see, with a million miles a day. In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 km per hour of a galaxy.”
Of course there is no scientific evidence, or any evidence that exist, but it is quite unlikely that you would find something in space, because there have only been three people in space.
In 1971, Soviet Cosmonauts Georgi Dobro Volkski, Viktor Patsayev and Vladislav Volkov died while they returned to the earth from the Salyut 1 Space Station.
Their spacecraft, the Soyuz 11 landed intact back on earth thanks to an automated landing series, but when the capsule was opened, the three men were found dead.
A study showed that a ventilation valve had been torn and the cosmonauts stinked due to a lack of breathable air at 104 miles from home.
So, to answer the original question, are there ghosts in space? No.
