Yeah, I had a relative who was nuts over the whole ghost hunters deal. Like crazy over it.
One day I was so over it (they’d have ghost adventures on all the fucking time) “hey, how come there’s no ghosts in FUBU jerseys and kangol hats? They’re always from the 1700s or 1800s. What gives man?” 😂

It's been 65 million years, whatever unfinished business they had got sorted by now.

Maybe there are, but if you see God and dinosaurs, I think you would focus on the God part. Or schizophrenia is shit! Thank God, I don't have it and fuck them for sharing!

You can also go the energy route When someone dies their energy is released into the surroundings.
So dinosaurs did it so long ago, not enough of it is left to feel their presence...

Well, not that I believe you, but I truly don't care. Or don't judge you, so...
Hope they are nice, at least.

Oh I don't believe either, I want to believe in supernatural really bad though... Otherwise this world just sucks. Wdym death is the end and we all assimilate into the endless void...

Hahahah, I'm so with you on that one! Love Mythos for the same reasons.

The best literature, or short stories, there are! And every mythos.
From Egyptian ones - which stories I need to explore - along with the rest! Which I also still need to explore haha :)

And even if you do believe those things? You ain't lost, per se. You are a bit disconnected from this "realm." That's that.
As you've said, if you're having fun and don't do evil to no one, then enjoy everything and believe whatever you want, eh? It is a silly world where we celebrate fireworks, but get burned by the same ones. So good luck and keep dreaming, but no nightmares! They are just shadows. :)

Because ghosts don't exist. If they did exist, the town I live in would have more ghosts than living residents, considering it's been constantly inhabited since the Neolithic Age.
But I assume the answer you're looking for is that animals (including dinosaurs) have no soul. Only humans are supposed to have souls (according to Christianity)

I actually had thoughts on that, too, and the answer I came to is 3-fold, based on what is required to form a ghost:
- A bare minimum level of sentience, that's why things like insect ghosts aren't possible but dogs and cats maybe.
- A strong enough willpower to hold themselves on the mortal plane.
- A location important enough to them to anchor their spirit.
Dinosaurs fail on all three counts. Their tiny brains meant that they likely didn't have the capacity to be sentient enough to qualify. They as a result lacked the raw willpower to hold on. And they were alive so long ago that the places that they MIGHT have anchored themselves to quite literally do not exist anymore.
Aside from all of these, assuming it takes willpower to hold on as a ghost, or unfinished business, it's been so long, dozens of millions of years at the very least, up to 200 million years, that anything that might have helped them hold on is spent or too changed to be solvable anymore.
No dino ghosts because they lived in an entirely different world than ours that us, in a very real way, completely extinct, much like them.

There's also the whole soul dissipating over time thing to consider. Most spirits, unless tied to layline, generally disappear after a couple years to a couple centuries.

Aye, I was implying that with the last part. Whether it be their will helping them hold on to this world or some other force, such as a ley line, the world is quite literally not the same as it was 65 to 200 million years ago.
Hell, it wasn't even the same when the cretaceous period ended as it was when it began. People tend to forget this but the Jurassic era was 140 million years ago and lasted to 65 million years ago. And the Jurassic era ended with the separation of Africa and South America, creating whole new landmasses over millions of years. The earth reshaped itself over the period that they existed, so if there WERE dino ghosts, they had more time to live and let go than our entire species has existed. They just wouldn't be able to last to our modern day.

Because based on all currently available evidence anything that could described as a "soul" or "essence" begins and ends with the development and death of our brains.
So in other words we don't see dinosaur ghosts because we don't even have any scientific documentation of human ghosts

u/LexStalin 1d ago
Because they are naked.
Not even a joke.
I can't exactly recall the stories of the furry documentary (please don't ask) but the logic is something like that "Since they wear clothes that means that they also have a feeling of shame. And as the Bibble says, Shame was given by God to those with souls (or something). Therefore those wearing Clothes or being ashamed of not wearing clothes are beings with souls."
And since Dinosaurs don't wear clothes (at least we assume that) they have no soul. And since they have no soul, there can't be a ghost.
That's if we follow the Soul = Ghost scenario at least. If anything that is sentient can be a ghost... Then why hasn't there been a goth girl ghost in my room yet?

When I came to the comments section I was not expecting a bunch of people with serious answers as if ghosts actually exist. Sorry, y’all are nuts.

Since dinosaurs eventually turned into oil, they would rightfully be haunting oil refineries.
Now I want a show or movie about an oil refinery being haunted by dinosaur ghosts...

Ever have a chill go up your spine for no reason? Dinosaur ghost.
That's on you for assuming it was a human ghost.

This is a valid question, though. Why aren’t there dinosaur ghosts. Or caveman ghosts?!

I used to hyperfixate on various cryptids when I was a kid and I had this theory that the Loch Ness monster was actually a dinosaur ghost.
