What is a ghost, are they all the same, can they hurt us, why do they haunt us, these are some of the questions we would like to answer, of course you may have other opinions and we would like to hear them so send your experiences or opinions  to us and we may publish them for all to see.

Not all ghosts are the same, true they are all departed spirits, well departed from the physical bodies they had here on earth.  I will try and explain the different type of "ghosts" as some I do not like to call ghosts.  Some people are so wrapped up and connected to their earthly possessions that when they die their spirit will not let go of them.  Most of them don't even know they are "dead".  This might seem hard to grasp but it's true, some do not realise they have died and so carry on, or try to, as if they are still here.  Some do realise but still don't want to leave behind their possessions or loved ones.  What about the question of time, well time only exists as we know it here on earth, so to a "ghost" no time has passed.  So these types of spirit "hang around " places that are familiar to them i.e. they haunt the buildings or areas they know until they are helped or are ready to pass over to the spirit world (this will be covered later).  The reasons for Haunting's vary depending how the person died, under what circumstances (was it a violent death) and what their beliefs were when they were alive for instance they may think that they have committed a great sin and won't be accepted into heaven or they may not believe at all that heaven exists and so don't accept there is anywhere else to go.  What about "bad or evil" people, well they can create a realm where they stay until they accept the light and release their own negativity.  This can be a "Hell" of their own making.

In most cases when someone "dies" or passes over to spirit, they go to a wonderful place and are greeted by their loved ones or friendly people they used to know.  We must understand that the spirit world consists of many levels of existence or dimensions.  There is one level that is very close to the earth plane which all spirits have to pass through to get to the higher realms.  Some spirits get "stuck" in this level for some of the reasons we have just talked about, I don't want to frighten anybody here, this doesn't always happen and is not a bad place.

Some people report hearing noises or objects that move, they can become frightened by this, and yes it can be quite disturbing if you are alone at night, some of the noises can be explained logically, water pipes or the wind etc.  If it is a spirit, they are usually not there to frighten you, but to get your attention.  It could be a relative or friend who has recently passed over come to say goodbye or let you know they are alright  and not really "dead".  If a loved one has passed and do not realise they are "dead" they can become very frustrated when they try to talk to you or try to get your attention and you just ignore them, well you can't see them so you will ignore them.  They will eventually become so frustrated that they will generate enough energy to move things or make noises or create a smell that can be linked to a particular person or place to get your attention.  If this happens don't be afraid just speak to them as if they were still alive, but explain to them gently what has happened or if you are not sure who they are say a little prayer and ask for them to be guided over to where they need to be.  Any spirit that does become a nuisance, ask it to leave telling it that you are frightened by its presence, if it is a loved one it should go.  If it remains then tell it in a very forceful manner, leaving them under no misunderstanding that you want them to leave.  For those spirits that do get "stuck" there are mediums around who do What is known as "Rescue work", where they communicate with the spirit and try and guide them over to where they should be.  This is specialised work and should only be done by experienced mediums, channelers or a priest.

There are some negative spirits which want to stay close to the earth plane and can cause a nuisance.  They can try and attach themselves to someone, usually with a loose or damaged "etheric field", this is part of the aura surrounding each and every one of us and will be explained in another article.  They feed on a persons fear so if you don't allow yourself to be afraid (not easy at times) then they can't affect you, as they say there is nothing to fear except fear itself.  They can become a nuisance, very noisy and cause objects to be thrown around but they can't hurt us physically.

For us to see a spirit physically the conditions have to be right.  To explain it simply, spirits vibrate at a higher frequency to those still "alive".  This is why we can't see them all the time.  If conditions are right, our vibrational rate is higher and theirs is lower we will see them with our eyes as apparitions.  If they are so wrapped up in their world they will not see us so won't interact with us, but they will still be able to move through what we see as physical objects e.g. walls and doors etc.  Sometimes we will see a loved one or relative who has recently passed for a short time as they come to say goodbye before going on their journey, they may even talk to us, this is so special and should be remembered throughout our lifetime.  This could be in daylight as well as at night when it easier for them to manifest or for us to see them.  Spirit can also come very close during thunderstorms, this is probably why some people become afraid during storms.
