A
spirit claimed by some
religions to inhabit an
individual person's
body. Supposedly contains or
conveys
personality,
intellect, and/or
emotion, depending on which
fanatic you ask.
Some religions believe that souls travel to new bodies upon death; some believe that they go to an
afterlife.
As with other spirits, there is no evidence of soul's existence, and many theologians hold that no evidence is
possible in the real world.
