The Oldest Ghosts on Record

Ghost stories have been around a long time. The Old Testament even records a ghost encounter. In 1 Samuel 28, King Saul goes to a medium—the Witch of Endor (great band name)—and she successfully conjures the spirit of the prophet Samuel. That’s one of the earliest known written ghost stories.

Ancient Egyptian tomb texts, Mesopotamian tablets, and Greek plays all describe spirits of the dead sticking around. So it’s not like hauntings are a new concept.

But even those only take us back, what, 4,000 years?

Dinosaurs walked the Earth for over 165 million years, and died out 65 million years ago.

So what gives?

Theory 1: Dinosaurs Had No Unfinished Business

One of the leading beliefs in paranormal research is that ghosts are created when someone dies with unresolved emotions: trauma, anger, guilt, revenge. It’s why haunted houses are often tied to murders, betrayals, or deeply stressful deaths.

What was a dinosaur stressed about?

They just hunted, mated, and stomped around (Reminds me of a specific Spooky Boy member that I won't name at the moment) . No shame. No regret. No lingering soul fragments.

Theory 2: We Do See Them, But They’re Unrecognizable Now

What if dinosaur ghosts are all around us… but they’ve changed?

Think about it. Sixty-five million years is a long time for spiritual energy to degrade. A dinosaur ghost probably doesn’t pop out of the closet looking like a Jurassic Park extra. It might not look like anything.

Instead, that ancient rage, fear, or territorial instinct has boiled down into raw, unshaped energy. A presence. A feeling.

People describe hauntings as:

• Sudden, irrational anger
• Growling from nowhere
• Things being thrown across the room
• Room goes cold, but no visible ghost
• Just a heavy, hostile atmosphere

You might be dealing with a ghost blob.

You might be feeling the echo of a raptor that watched a firestorm blot out the sky.

Let's talk about science

Let’s get technical.

The fusiform face area (FFA) is a region of the human brain evolved to detect faces—especially human ones. It’s why we see faces in clouds, the moon, or a piece of toast. It’s powerful. Sometimes too powerful.

But it’s also limited. We’re wired to see ghosts as human-like because that’s what our brains are trained to register. If a spectral Brachiosaurus wandered through your hallway, your brain might just register it as “vibe weird,” not “ghost dino.”

In other words: you might not even recognize a non-human ghost if it screamed directly into your soul.

Some believe the building’s sharp angles and position over a convergence of natural energy—overlooking the intersection of lake, valley, and mountain—make it a hotspot for spiritual residue.

So… Are Dino Ghosts Real?

Here’s what the Spooky Boys believe:

• Yes, there is evidence of ancient spiritual energy.
• No, it does not usually present as a dinosaur in a bedsheet.
• Yes, what people call “poltergeists” or “dark entities” could be the fragmented emotions of non-human consciousness.
• And yes, being chased by the ectoplasmic remains of a Utahraptor would be terrifying.

So next time you feel a cold spot in your kitchen, or your dog barks at something invisible in the corner…

Don’t assume it’s a Victorian child.

It might be the rage of an extinct predator, swirling through time, trying to make peace with its meteor-induced trauma.
