The same goes for the Yeti, but a Polar Bear in a snowstorm.
Atlantis? Would have been found by now.
Spirits? Yes, through logic. Where does your essence go when you die? There is so much energy in your body when you die, it simply can't all just radiate out as heat. Bodies become cold too fast, all the energy simply would not dissipate that fast. Just take a moment to think of all the kinetic, electric, thermal, and chemical energy you use at any given moment...

that is such a flawed statement i don't know where to start...actually i do, from the beginning.
kinetic or mechanical energy is the energy used in motion. A dead guy doesn't move, therefore he didn't have any knietic energy to begin with.
electric energy, you're referring to nerve impulses right? if so, then you should know that these electric pulses are produced by certain chemical manipulations(not sure if its actually called a chemical reaction). When you're dead, your cells stop inducing these chemical manipulations.
thermal energy, well this is simple. You lose between 1-3(roughly) degrees fahrenheit every hour you're dead, unless there is an outside factor affecting this. This isn't convert into "spirits" its just energy diffusing back into its environment.
chemical energy. chemical energy is only released in a chemical reaction and in some cases physical reactions(i think). for a chemical reaction to occur, they need to be mixed, if your doesn't mix them(cause you're dead), then there is no reaction.
kinetic energy never existed in the first place
electric energy was never created
thermal energy naturally diffuses into the environment
if you believe this diffusion creates spirits, then you must believe that everytime you heat your frying pan up, you're making another spirit
chemical energy, never produced in the first place
in summary, the reason a living person has so much energy the moment before he dies than moments after, is because his body has already stopped the production/release of energy
