Ghosts

AppleTree2

Sorry I'm a novice when it comes to stuff like this. I've been thinking recently about death. If one dies with unresolved issues, is it most likely that one will not be able to "go on" ?. It's just that being a ghost sounds like such a lonely existence. Are ghosts just left wandering and lost without their family

MrStuffins

Well, if there IS another dimension where people exist as ghosts, it'll be much less lonely than here!

Sure there's just under 7 billion people alive but there's millions of times that amount who have died!

I'm pretty sure that i read somewhere recently that there are currently more people living on the planet than have ever lived (and died) throughout history.

Off i go to find it.....

Firstly, you should be calling it a spirit.
A 'ghost' is in fact simply residual energy or the playback of some event in the past.
A spirit is the soul of a person that has chosen to remain behind or comes back to visit.
If they come back then they wanted to come back. They most likely came back to their family. If someone dies, someone dies.

Hey OP you might get a better understanding by reading the thread here about peoples experiences with ghosts-Its a great thread.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I should have wrote 'spirit'. I'm 22 and I stay over in my Grandmother's house in Kildare every week, to help her with the housework. I have to get up the odd time, and I have recently sensed that my Grandfather is standing on the landing. When I close the bathroom door, it sounds as if he is quietly pacing up and down on the landing. It's not something that scares me, rather it is as if he checking up on anyone that has to get up during the night. I have no experience of anything like this, so I'm not sure if I'm just imagining things.

I wasnt aware we knew enough on the subject to be able to correct someone in the manner you have?

The language of discussing all things "supernatural" isnt written in stone and while some general meanings are accepted I think its bad manners to lay out your beliefs as fact.

Noone really knows, but heres one philosophy for you.

When someone dies, they leave their body and physical problems behind. They become spirit. But the ties of love and family are strong, and although they no longer have worldly concerns, they still want to maintain a link with their family. (If you went away to live somewhere else, youd phone home and write too, wouldnt you?) So its not as though your grandfather would be 'stuck' here, if he was hanging around, it would more likely be in a watchful and caring way, for your sake, rather than unfinished business on his behalf. I do not hold with 'the other side' being a place of different levels, where if you move to one, theres no moving back down again. Spirit have no physical limitations, they can be whereever they want to be, neither we, nor physical situations, hold them permanently anywhere.

As I said, this is just one philosophy, you will get many, as beliefs and understandings differ, according to peoples background and experience.

*Chuckles*, Yep Kildare is bursting with paranormal activity, I'm convinced there is a possessed cow in the garden Thank you Oryx, that is a truly wonderful philosophy. Perhaps it's purely psychological, in that I miss him being around. It's a fascinating topic, I think I may join the club. Do you have t-shirts??

Don't mock. We have Kilkea castle which has a locked room because one of the FitzGeralds apparently practiced black magic there. The Rath of Mullamast nearby is supposed to be haunted as well.

Yep the Fitzgeralds were notorious for all that stuff. They were well into their Black Arts

Ya I've heard something similar to that as well. Also heard that the level a person live his/her life at is the same level or sort of vibration they go to after theyre dead. At first anyway. What I mean by the level someone lives their life at is like,you'll get some people who are very good towards other people with good intentions, while there are others that take what they can get from people in manipulative ways but appear like they're innocent and harmless. There are always those polar opposites in life anyway
