I remember that as a kid I went to a field trip to the “Dean House,” a place that is supposedly haunted by ghosts. When I was there though I felt nothing; no drop in temperature, no sudden movements, and definately no sense of anything paranormal. What I believe is the fact that most of these reported cases of people who have claimed to have seen ghosts but are the only ones who have actually seen them appear a little to ironic for me. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that there are very few cases which show two people having seen the same ghost, and being alone people are a lot more paranoyed.
Overall I do believe that ghosts exist somewhere in the universe but are a lot less likely to connect within the range of real human senses, but who knows? Maybe a ghost is staring at you over your shoulder right now and watching you read this blog…
Many people have heard strange sounds at night, or heard the wind blow the door shut when the window is closed. Some individuals swear they can see strange shadows in the night, or even experience a dream that is so vivid they find a common connection to reality. Most of these events can be interpreted in two ways; one being a coincidence, and two being a paranormal phenomenon such as a spirit or ghost.
A traditional belief is that a ghost is the soul of a person who is deceased and is unable to move on and as a result are bound to the earthly plane. People who have studied folklore mostly believe that ghosts who have not moved on are prevented from leaving the world of the living due to a certain event that occurred during their time of life.
Some traditions believe that when a baby is born a soul is being put into the body which causes the infant to cry and be in that violent state, and that the soul is also in that same state when it’s ripped from the body after death resulting in a poltergiest. However some of these beliefs show to be untrue as poltergiests are ghosts that are very rare to come across. They only haunt places that are more modern and have a history of death or a significant incident that people believe binds their spirit to that place.
Some cases have even been shown in which poltergiests attach themselves to living people and follow them around wreaking havoc. Most people believe that this is do to the person being involved in the death of the deceased, while other critics argue that some individuals posses a negative energy that the spirit feeds on in order to sustain itself. There have even been reports of ghosts using abilities such as psychokinesis in ways such as moving objects or manipulating electrical appliances, some victims of hauntings have also found that ghosts leave messages in places of the haunted home or leave certain marks on people’s bodies. However, can this really be classified as documented evidence?
What about demons possessing humans, is that any differernt than poltergiest? like exorcism, whats ur take on that?
Don't people talk to ghosts as well? Though it's not particularly hard, talking to a ghost, it's getting the ghost to talk back to you.
