Research have studied 100 well-known haunted spots over the course of a decade and found that many of the sites have experienced a significant decline in paranormal sightings.


Any ghosts that did "interact" with the experts at Project Half-Life were said to have only been around for a century or less and the experts think it shows that ghouls are similar to humans as they have a limited lifespan.


Brian Sterling-Vete, head of the world's first Paranormal Rescue service, said: "When all the data was considered, it was quite a shock to think that many of our once-famous ghosts could be literally dying.


"Project Half-Life suggests that sentient ghosts seem to have a limited lifespan, just like living humans.


"I would argue that our findings show ghosts do conform to the second law of thermodynamics as they appear to run out of energy."
