| Introduction If there's one thing I have never questioned, it's the existence of ghosts, spirits and other forms of hauntings. I imagine, since you are visiting this page, that you have an innate sense of wonder about such things. Why do I believe? It's simple, really; I grew up in a very haunted house. My experiences began when I was a toddler and countinued into childhood, and adolesence. Of course it wasn't until I was close to my teens that I realized that these goings on did not occur to everyone. It was an epiphany of sorts, as much as you can have on at 10 ir 11 years of age. Imagine that! I was one of the only people I knew having dealings with ghosts! At that point, the spirit world entranced me, so to speak. I could not get enough of it: books, television specials, folk lore handed down from my elders. I wanted to know all. Any inkling of fear in me or doubt from others was constantly overshadowed by curiousity. (and it has not killed me, nor any cats, thank goodness!!) I have developed my own personal theroies about ghosts from my own personal experiences. By no means are they all inclusive. My major belief is when it comes to these matters, above all else, trust your instincts. According to the most recent Gallup polls, about one-thrid of the american public believes in ghosts. Probably half of those have had personal experiences with them. (a poll of that sort has never been done to the best of my knoweledge). The belief has, in the latter part of the last century, stirred a new branch (though some call it a psudeo-branch) of science called parapsychology. The most famous institute for this research is The Rhine Reseach Center, a branch of Duke Univeristy. So if you've gotten this far, perhaps you don't think believing in ghosts is such a crazy, far-fetched thing. Which is good, because the rest of the content here-in is written for those who aren't complete skeptics. The validitiy of the subject is not up for debate and if you want to do so, please find another opponent. My intent for making these pages is to share with other what I have learned in my 27 years of living with hauntings. I hope to make it extremely understandable for those with no prior knowledge of spirits, et al. Now that we've that straight and settled, lets move on to the what you've arrived for... |
| Types of Ghosts The Benevolent These ghosts are not much trouble at all. They have not completed their journey through life, most commonly because they either haven't realized they have passed or some emotional tie has prevented them from moving on. Their manifestations range from playful in their contact, which may be an annoyance, to creating an atmosphere sadness in their location. Never is their malice or anger associated with them; they don't act out in negative or destructive ways. They also never leave you with an immediate sense of being threatened. I'd suggest no remedy for them, except for perhaps a small acknowledgement here and there and/or small, simple blessings or prayers that they continue on their journey safely. Other than those two things, their course shall continue naturally and you're best to leave well enough alone. The Messanger These ghosts purpose is simply that, to pass a message onto someone that is living. Often times, this is a ghost that someone in the haunted enviroment was familiar with. They use many tatics to get across that they are around you and need to listen. They are benevolent, of course, but they are also persisitent. It can be quite a disturbing thing if you have not run across ghosts before. Yet, if indeed this is the type of ghost you are dealing with, it will do something to make you wonder who it is. The best way of dealing with this type of ghosts is to tell them that you are trying to listen, but just aren't getting the message clearly. The Traumatized Ghost This type of ghost is normally stuck between planes due to the circumstances of thier death. Often ghosts of these types have been wronged in some way. This includes the love-lorn and murdered. This ghost often presents itself in ways that can make the living quite unconfortable. They can be rather angry, though the anger is not because the are 'bad' or 'evil' beings, but frustrated, fearful and on the defensive. There have been cases where these types of ghosts have made contact with humans to correct the wrong done to the ghosts. This is very rare, but not impossible. These ghosts can be quite taxing on your peace of mind, among other things. They do not react well to enviroments that are unstable (such as constant arguing, ect.) and can make the livings tense lives feel more tense. Some people can live with thses sorts of ghosts and some can not. Again, saying out loud that it is ok to move on can be helpful. Also, regular house/builidng blessings can be helpful. However, if a ghosts reacts in a negative way to these things, it would be wise to cease these actions and consult with someone experienced with these types of hauntings. |
