Happy Halloween! Want to hear a ghost story? Just annoying. And getting rather expensive. It happened not long after we moved into my current home, purchased a decade ago in foreclosure and, at the time, looking more like a haunted house than a haven for a family of six.
While removing my contact lenses one evening after work, one slipped from my finger and fell onto the floor or bathroom counter. Happens all the time in my many years of wearing them. And after searching the upstairs bath and adjoining bedroom for a good hour, I gave up and ordered a replacement, chalking it up to yet another lost contact. His ghost had ensured that the accounts were level. Then there is the case of Khemchu, a half-witted Rajput, who drew water from the higher caste well in a remote village and filled up all the lower caste pots.
Khemchu died after a raging fever, and naturally, he was mourned more intensely by the lower castes than the higher castes. In village memory, this happened many decades ago, and Khemchu is still there—invisible, but always at their service whenever someone is needed to draw water for the lower castes from the higher castes well—the caste system has changed but still exists in several forms in some remote areas. You might see one ghost, but only be able to hear another.
Another spirit might not be able to communicate at all, but you can still sense its presence. One method of removing these types of ghosts is to communicate with them, find out what they want, and try to help them find closure.
Obviously, there are ghost and ghosts and all kinds of ghosts, but only a section of them are evil. We use the word ghost and spirit interchangeably, but there is a strong difference between them.
The simplest form of unfinished business can be as innocent as a person being attached so strongly to their home that they cannot leave it behind and pass over. Surprisingly, only a small percentage of paranormal sightings are true ghosts. Spirits, on the other hand, are not tied to one place. It is believed that spirits are discarnate entities, meaning that they are the soul that has survived when a person dies and no longer has a physical body in which to reside.
They are free to move from one dimension to another and can return to us at free will. Often it is just a genuine, emotional tie to a loved one, such as wanting a family member to know that a deceased relative is okay, that can be the cause of a visit by a spirit.
She was a longtime resident of Breckenridge, arriving in the s as a young girl. Thomas lived in the cabin for over 70 years, only leaving for a short time to get married and move to Frisco. While investigators did discover some evidence of pranks and fakery , it was believed that many of the poltergeist incidents were genuine. Some ghost hunters and paranormals propose that poltergeists are actually the emotions of troubled individuals — built up during times of stress.
This theory, known as Spontaneous Recurring Psychokinesis suggests that this built-up stress then unconsciously projects outwards in the form of mental energy, which effects the physical environment and produces the phenomena attributed to poltergeists. But there is little evidence to support this notion. Many people believe that spirits of the dead are responsible for poltergeist activity.
This is said to be because people who experience them perceive an underlying intelligence and meaningful communication with an otherworldly being. This view proposes that a disembodied consciousness — or soul — survives bodily death. Misinterpretation is most likely to occur when people believe a place is haunted and they are looking for evidence to confirm this.
In this way, a lot of poltergeist activity can actually be attributed to inaccurate perception of natural phenomenon. Take the case of the women haunted by a ticking clock, it was actually discovered that the noise was created by a tiny insect.
