Ghosts - What are Ghosts?

Ghosts are earthbound spirits of human beings and animals that
manifest in both the physical and spiritual realms. Ghosts are spirits
and alive, retaining the mind of the individual. True ghosts are not
dead, for death is an illusion. It is theorized that some ghosts seem to
be residual energy left behind by a person before passing.

These types of ghosts are considered unintelligent, because they seem to continue to walk
the same paths and do the same things - with no interaction with the current physical
environment or people. This is called a “haunt.” Another theory is that an unintelligent
haunting may be just that the person is so trapped by their own mind that they repeat the
trauma, unaware of witnesses in the physical realm. In contrast, ghosts which react with
people and/or the physical environment are called an "intelligent haunting." Poltergeist ghosts
are typically believed to not be ghosts at all, but physical manifestations of mental trauma
through “psycho kinesis” by an unaware family member. Ghosts have been known to move
objects, flip light switches and even cause electrical disturbances. Often, they speak to us
through thoughts that many may discount as their own. Many describe the presence of spirit
or ghosts as goose bumps. The most common ghosts reported seen are shadow people.

Ghosts - History of Ghosts:

Every culture in the world has ghosts in their beliefs, although many disagree as to whether ghosts are real or just figments of the
imagination. According to some beliefs, a ghost may be the personality of a person after his or her death, and not directly tied to
the soul or spirit. There is much debate on whether ghosts are spirits of deceased people or just spirits or a naturally occurring
phenomenon. Yet, interesting ghost sightings of deceased relatives during near death experiences has been shared world-wide.

Most people around the world believe ghosts to be people who have died and cannot enter into rest or peace. In Asia, many
believe ghosts to be person who have died and refuse to be reincarnated due to unfinished business here on earth, believing that
ghosts can bring revenge on persons who wronged them in their physical life. Even Hindu scriptures tell of ghosts being people
who have sinned greatly in this lifetime, and are trapped to roam this physical world in darkness and puzzlement. Most cultures
believe ghosts to haunt the places they once inhabited or frequented during their physical existence; especially places where they
died…the place of trauma, once again. Usually ghosts that manifest are seen in the clothing they wore in their earthly lifetime.

Some of the earliest writings of ghosts only told of spirits asking to be buried properly, or to bring a message to a loved one.
Homer wrote such a story more than 2000 years. The Old Testament of the bible tells of the Witch of Endor bringing up the ghost
of the prophet Samuel to speak a message to King Saul
