Ghosts…..FACT OR FICTION?
I know. This is my first blog that has nothing to do with Depression or Anxiety. Today is a slight distraction from the “Heavy stuff”.
Let’s dive into some spooky topics today, shall we???? Grab a glass of wine and join me!
Do you believe in Ghosts? I’m talking about what we have seen in movies. The typical Family that moves into an obvious haunted home.
Lets see…….The house was built in the 1700’s and a million people died in it. It also has a cemetery in the backyard. But hey, It only cost $100k so why not buy it?!!?
Well, I do not believe in Ghosts per say. Let me explain. I don’t believe our loves ones stick around staring at us. I don’t believe in purgatory. I don’t believe in Mediums.
I believe we move on to a better place. I find cemeteries beautiful and relaxing. Funeral services don’t creep me out. I knew a few family members that couldn’t sleep after attending a funeral. They would sleep that night with the lights on. I thought that was so silly. The person that died is not going to follow them home. They are at peace. So please, go to sleep!
I won’t go into my religious beliefs but from what I have read and studied; we don’t linger once our spirit has separated from the body. We move on peacefully and wait for our loved ones.
However, I do believe in Evil spirits. Fallen Angels. Demons. Bad juju. Now they do walk the earth.
Again, the bible provides many accounts in the New Testament of possession and the Old Testament has proven evil spirits are constantly testing our Faith.
I believe in demonic spirits who want to make our lives miserable and are quite capable of haunting a person, place or thing. I think locations that have seen and experienced tragedies may have a haunting presence that lingers.
Such as a person who murders their family or a war zone like Gettysburg. It’s not hard for me to believe that something so sad and terrible would leave a trace of something. But I also believe we fuel that energy by accident and with good intentions.
Sometimes people who try to make contact with a spirit notice their hauntings amp up. I am not placing blame. Some people are genuinely haunted and its not their fault. They didn’t ask for it. However, I don’t think doing a séance or contacting a medium is going to help you. I think if you feel your home may be haunted, its best for you to fill that home with love and positivity. Do what you can to ignore it and it should cease. Hopefully, it should leave your home and never return.
If you’re religious, pray for healing and safety. If you’re not religious, do whatever you think is best. If you’re okay with an occasional ghost in your house, then so be it.
I am 42 years old and have never experienced anything considered paranormal related. Sure, I’ve seen strange things but nothing over the top that couldn’t be explained.
It’s not that I’m a skeptic. I just don’t think a nice old man is haunting a new family that moved into his old house. It could be something else ……..something dark. But not the old man that used to live there.
I’m not poking fun at anyone who has experienced scary phenomena. I find stories around the world absolutely fascinating. Histories of the pyramids.
UFO sightings. The Loch Ness Monster. I am open minded. If something is captured on film or photographed, I am willing to listen.
I watch Ghost Adventures on my downtime and spend hours watching crime documentaries. Trust me when I say I enjoy the spooky tales.
Halloween is and will always be my favorite time of the year. 😊
A few of my favorite “True Life” Stories/Crime documentaries are the following:
The Conjuring movies 1 & 2.
Amityville Horror
The Axe Murders of Villisca
Lizzie Borden
The Stanley Hotel
Vlad the Impaler
Stranahan House
Exorcism of Emily Rose
Those are just a few stories that I am totally obsessed with. And they all have one thing in common - something tragic was involved.
But I really do believe our imaginations tend to run wild. Sometimes, we see what we want to see. I have visited places that are known to be “Haunted”.
But I only felt peace and love. Maybe that’s just the type of energy I bring into any place.
So, with that in mind, have you ever experienced anything that couldn’t be explained?
Do you live in a Haunted House? If so, please contact me through my Spooky IG page. Spooky_Halloween_Chick. I would LOVE to hear your story and promote it!
Stay safe!
“And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!”
The Raven – Edgar Allan Poe.
