The second rule of Thermodynamics states: "No energy or matter can be created or destroyed"
By this reasoning, the matter is the essential presence of the human/living being.
But by ceasing the living, the energy was not destroyed, the matter left behind.
They have yet to explain where this ethereal portion goes.
By such, it can be induced that there may in fact be a spiritual realm, for which our limited visual and aural spectrum cannot reach.
However, there are haunting ways you can actually "tune up" or "tune down" the visual spectrum, and also applies to the audio.

Props for answering OP's question honestly. But here is my 2 cents on this statement:
But by ceasing the living, the energy was not destroyed, the matter left behind.
They have yet to explain where this ethereal portion goes.
When people die, the energy doesn't disappear either. The electrical impulses that drive communication along our neurons and through our brains comes from chemical energy that stops being converted into electrical impulses. The heat energy is simply radiated away.
In a way it is like assuming the spirit of the computer mysteriously goes somewhere else when you turn the power off. Without the base energy being produced to animate your computer, it's higher functions are what you see disappear.
There's no energy being lost when something dies. All the energy used by cognition comes from digesting food, same as with every other biological process.

Muh awesomely super smart roommate also said thermodynamics states that the energy and electricity that literally powers us does go somewhere but we don't know how it interacts when released back into the universe. We don't have a way to quantify the unique combination of electrical impulses that generate consiousness so we can't look of signs for consiousness not bounded to flesh.
I believe our thoughts have more power than we think. What we perceive as spirits are echos of past traumas. The more traumatic the experience, the stronger the presence.
I also believe that if enough people believe something, they give it more power. Basically YHWH is a tulpa.

Nope.
We are just carbon based biological beings.

About 10 years ago before I moved into my current house no now yes.
Multiple children play with a ghost baby and point it out on the ceiling and it's fuckn creepy.

I'm pretty sure we're nothing more than software running on our central processing system, which we call the brain.
