People used to have big families and lots would die at home. Also a lot of people would die at psych wards and many lived there.
Houses now have fewer people, and people are more likely to die at a hospital. Most houses today are not that old, while a house from the 1700’s would have hundreds of years for people to die in it.
If you want a modern ghost maybe look in an ICU unit or possibly a new cemetery. My friend once silently pointed out a ghost to me outside in the daylight outside an old mental hospital that had been converted to a school. She was a white mist just walking down the hill wearing a gown, no shoes but for some reason her head wasn’t visible. I want to say looked like maybe late 1800’s early 1900’s.
It happened over 20 years ago. I wouldn’t believe it myself if I hadn’t seen it and had someone point it out to me. My friend didn’t even say anything so there was no expectation for what I would see when I turned around. It wasn’t a creepy setting, being daylight and eating lunch. I haven’t seen any since then.
I make no claims on what a ghost is, it could just be residual or glimpses through time, glitch in the Matrix, who knows, probably not a conscious being and it did fade away so possibly not even permanently around. All I know is there appears to be some rare phenomena that can be pointed to and briefly observed by multiple people. Of course there is only my word on that and I am just a person online so it makes sense to be skeptical especially in modern times. Given the topic seemed a fun place to share my experience.
I’m an atheist myself because I have never personally had such an experience, but I think it is unwise to dismiss the experiences of others. Just because I have never seen something doesn’t make it an impossible thing. It just makes it very difficult for me to understand the experience because I have never had one like it myself. I always tell myself that maybe that will change someday and so will I.
I’m an atheist too besides some interest in Buddhist philosophy. I consider what I saw as more like something residual, not a conscious soul walking the Earth. But honestly I have no idea.
I do like the idea that something could exist still scientifically undiscovered though. In modern times we can’t just go into the wilderness or hop on a boat and make a new discovery. The low hanging fruit has been found before we were born, and in a way it has made things more mundane.

I’m not sure if I should laugh about how much you are playing along or if I should be worried about you
