It has been brought to my attention that I do not have a section about 'ghosts' or 'manifestations of those who have died'
or 'scary stuff.' Well here it is.

     When a body has inhabited a place for a long time, it becomes accustomed to the energy of that place, in some ways, it even takes on some of that surrounding energy into itself, a merging if you will. When the body dies, if it is disoriented, its spirit will go to the most familiar thing or place, sort of like a security blanket effect. If that place is a house where the person resided before they died, then the spirit will stay there. Sometimes it can be a piece of favourite furniture that the spirit attaches itself to, or a piece of jewellery for pure metals are great conductors of this type of energy. Whatever it is, the spirit will attach to that thing (like an anchor in the third dimension)that will help the spirit to remain here, instead of passing over as it should.

     Sometimes, you will find yourself on the receiving end of one of these disembodied spirits (NOT poltergeist which is a different thing entirely) and you could find that you are either afraid or uncomfortable having them around. If the spirit is just living in the same house as you and not bothering you in any way, accept that they are there and leave them alone. You could try talking to them, they might be lonely :) Usually, this is the case. The person who died could not accept their death and need time to adjust to their new state of being (time is different in the fourth dimension so they could be there for hundreds of years in our time and a short time only for them) so it may take a while before they do eventually depart. If you can bring yourself to share your home with them and talk to them, tell them that they are dead and that they should pass over. Point out to them that there are 'helpers' ready to take them across to the other side and they will meet everyone they know there. If you do this in a loving, compassionate way, then usually the spirit will depart and leave you in peace.

     Sometimes, however, it is more of a problem. If there has been violence done in the building, the energy involved is much stronger and the spirit more unwilling to depart. Negative emotions make the problem worse.  With these ones you need to take a firmer line. You will need to be very strong willed and instead of just carrying on a conversation, you will need to put the force of your will behind the request for them to depart. If you are firm enough, they usually get the message (keep in mind that you are dealing with EMOTION and you have to get through this, to reason with the spirit. Sometimes it will take a while and have to be repeatedly done before any effect is noticed.) Once you have their attention by force of will, then send the love and compassion to soothe them as you request them to leave and to go to the 'other side.'

     On RARE occasions, there is a spirit of pure NEGATIVITY or evil. When this occurs, unless you are highly trained, there is little that you can do. An exorcism is the only way to remove it.
You will need the full implimentation of an exorcism ritual to have any effect at all. This is only done by one who is trained in the procedure for they are risking their own spirit to perform the ritual and their faith must be very strong.

     On RARE occasions also, the spirit will cling to a person, rather than an object or building. If the person has a deep bond with the spirit and it is by their will that they are there, then it is allright. They are simply waiting for the other spirit to join them.
If, however, the spirit is there and it is NOT by your will, then you could have a problem. You could find yourself dreaming more, mood changes,sickness, tiredness, all for no apparent reason. Another spirit that is constantly in your auric field will drain your energy. You will need first of all, to realise that they are there, and then you will need to ask them to leave. Again, as mentioned above, you will need to put the FORCE OF YOUR WILL behind the request. They are there ONLY IF YOU ALLOW IT. They cannot remain if you shut the door and ask them to go. It is so simple that people find it difficult to believe.

     A small note of warning:  Messing about with ouija boards will encourage spirits to come to you and to stay. By using the board, you are, in effect, issuing an invitation for them to come join you. Once they are there, it is sometimes difficult to make them go. I have seen cases where people experiment when they are in high school with the boards and don't feel the effects until they are in their 20's. Then they become unstable emotionally, moody, and in bad cases, addicted to alcohol or drugs or suicidal. A thorough cleansing of the aura removed the errant spirit that they had picked up years before and their life turned around from that point for the better. But, sometimes there is not someone around to analyse the situation and find the cause of the personality change before disaster strikes. If you are like this or someone close to you is, think back to using an ouija board at some point, or just being in the same room where one was being used.

     Another type of ghostly manifestation is your guides. If you are a little psychic, then you will see them, rather than feel them as most people do. They usually come to warn of impending disasters or if you are very ill. Manifestation usually occurs in the night and quite often you will see them standing, near your bed, watching you. Do not be afraid of these ones. They are your friends and guides.

     Whenever you do see a ghost, the first thing you should do ,after the initial fright, is examine how they make you FEEL. Are you not bothered at all, sad, happy, frightened? TRUST YOUR INNER FEELINGS. It is usually a good guide to their intentions.

     There are many types of ghostly manifestations, and many causes for these manifestations, these are but a few of the more common ones. I do hope that it has helped you in some way.
