Ghosts
So where do we begin with this subject? It is very subjective in itself! Ghosts or presences take on many forms, from Poltergeists, to people actually having visits from friends or family members who are dead, even though they are unaware of the death. There has been HUGE study into ghosthunting and the science behind the strange supernatural occurances that people often are troubled by. Again as with nearly all the subjects in this section, opening up your psychic awareness can help - but cannot guarentee you will ever witness a ghost or presence.
There are literally hunderds of types of ghost. But what are they and why do they visit us?
Some types of ghost are infact what is termed as "recording ghosts". These are often of people who have had a very tragic end and their dispersion of energy leaves a recording of their last movements or even of them trying to right a wrong. These are more often than not passive ghosts who will have no idea that you are there. Sometimes they appear at special times of the year or even appear to be walking on their knees where the level of a building has changed over the years. They may or may not produce any sound.
More mischievious presences are often mistaken for Poltergeists. Many households will complain that they must have a ghost as things are constantly removed from where they are always kept. These types of ghost usually give off no presence, or if they do it is very slight, like a light scent of perfume, or a slight draft.
Ghosts of animals are very common. Seething dogs and creeping cats and the like. These ghosts do appear to know you are their - almost like they have died but have not finished with living and want to remain. There are human ghosts that are similar to this. Some are aggressive and slightly melevolent, but some are so "normal", they are often just treated like another human. There are many cases of people explaining they have spoken to someone at a given spot and described them, only to be told that that person had died some years ago.
Poltergiests are altogether different forces. They are not malevolent ghosts, they are infact manifestations of raw energy. Some may disagree to this point. But I have experienced many ghosts and have also suffered at the hands of someone's raw energy. It produced classic Poltergeist activity; items flying across a room, items moved, pressure on me as I slept, etc. Since telling the person of this, the activity has ceased. We both knew the reason they produced this raw energy and they actively attempted to be less angry. I would also like to point out that they are not a pubescent teenager either!
I discussed in the Psychic Abilities section about dispersion of energy at death. A simple example of this is when my first dog, whom I loved dearly, passed on, there were many occurances, which we took in our stride at the time, but looking back seem very weird. For months on end we heard terrible crashings of pans in the kitchen, only to find no pans had fallen down anywhere. On the night he died, we recieved a blank telephone call at around 3am. I phoned my brother to see if he had rung, and to my surprise he was just about to ring us as he had had the same type of phone call. As we spoke, the most tremendous force hit my front door - something like the force you may imagine a Great Bear might produced if he threw himself at something. I fully believe that this force was my dog attempting and succeeding to re-enter his home.
OK so that sounds a bit nuts!
So how can you explain away the funny doggie smells and odd dreams of my dog giving me messages. Over active imagination? OK, possibly.
But if you can explain that away, how can you explain why the next dog I bought kept running up the hall growling? And in fact has been seen by more than one person, pointing with his nose at the picture of my first dog - as though he knows him?
