Blah! I Vant To Suck Your Blood!

Whoop de doo. Not much to report right now. On to thoughts. I've been wondering about whether or not the soul survives death of the body, which has led to some curious scenarios. It of course begs the question: "How does the soul affect personal identity?" As to that, I haven't the foggiest. If we buy into emergentism, the conscious mind is a non-physical effect that emerges from the complexity of the human brain. Unfortunately, this tells us nothing about what exactly "soul" in the immortal sense is. Furthermore, the existence of some immaterial separate entity that affects our consciousness is not totally ruled out, though it does fall victim to Ockham's razor. So my question to my readers is this: What about ghosts? Discuss.
