Here is the Gorilla experiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJG698U2Mvo
I am thinking that if there actually were ghosts that couldn't interact with us except for visually, we probably would have evolved so that we couldn't see them, because they would only distract us.
The funny thing is that I actually encountered something like a ghost one time I used psychedelics, and serveral times when I used to have sleep paralysis.

Visual art producing psychedelic effects
For individuals that have no experience with psychedelics, but want to get an idea of what it might be like, some types of art can generate visual effects that are similar to psychedelics. Staring at the animation below for a while seems to generate somewhat similar visual effects that last for a few seconds.
The animation seems to work by sending visual information to your eyes which causes your perceptive system to believe it is perceiving the world incorrectly. As your perceptive system adjusts itself to the unnatural object, you start to perceive everything else around you incorrectly. Reconfiguration of the perceptive system seems to involve the 5HT2A receptor, which also is stimulated by psychedelics.

Or, an alternative explanation:
---- REPORT FROM SURFACE ---- BUKOWSKI AGAIN, SIR. WE HAVE FOUND ANOTHER RESEARCH INSTITUTE. WELL, THE RUINS OF ONE, ANYWAY. THE COMPUTER HERE'S IN BETTER SHAPE, ALLOWING ME TO LEARN A BIT MORE ABOUT THE ANDROSYNTH'S INVESTIGATION INTO DF, DIMENSIONAL FATIGUE. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THEIR STUDIES ACTUALLY BEGAN OVER TEN YEARS AGO, AFTER ONE OF THEIR BLAZER VESSELS DISCOVERED SOME PRECURSOR ARTIFACTS IN ALPHA LALANDE. AS FAR AS THEIR SCIENTISTS HERE COULD TELL, THE DEVICES GENERATED DF WAVES WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE USER TO SEE INTO OTHER... WELL, OTHER DIMENSIONS -- REALMS OF EXISTENCE WHICH SHARE POSITION WITH OUR OWN UNIVERSE, BUT HAVE A DIFFERENT... GEE, WHAT SHOULD I CALL IT... REALITY PHASE. ANYWAY, THE ANDROSYNTH HAD HOPED THAT THE DIMENSIONAL FATIGUE TECHNOLOGY CONTAINED IN THE DEVICES WOULD PERMIT THEM TO CREATE NEW, FASTER FORMS OF HYPERDRIVE AND HYPERWAVE. INSTEAD, WHEN THEY BEGAN THEIR EXPERIMENTS, THEY MADE CONTACT WITH SOME KIND OF LIFEFORM ON `THE OTHER SIDE', A CREATURE FROM AN ALIEN DIMENSION. You can read more about this theory, in this thread.

Doesn't work for me. Reminds me of Idle Revolution, though. On the other hand, I've managed to have somewhat psychedelic experiences by just staring at the ceiling for long enough, so maybe I'm desensitized to that stimulus.

I have written more about the female archetype, which seems to be unique to humans:

Miiiight be. It's a 'just-so story' as evolutionary biologists have long ago learned to be wary of, since they so often turned out to be false.

And yet, just because something could be used for something useful and we ended up with that thing does not mean that is why or how we ended up with that thing. That is exactly the problem with just-so stories.

Are these moving graphics animated Venn diagrams?

Starting a new topic on the subject would be best. If it's this topic, say it here. If it isn't, do you mind if I delete your comment from here?
