What’s the Story with Ghosts?
What do you think about ghosts? Millions of people claim to have seen them. Stories about them haunting the living have been told since man could communicate. They seem to be part of our existence but what do we really know about them?
Lately I have been watching the ghost hunter type TV shows you find all over the cable TV channels. Most shows fall under the description of ridiculous with little happening and nothing found. A great deal of the show time is spent watching the cast preform the same ritual of setting up their equipment to spend a few hours marching around talking to the walls of so called haunted places or sitting in the dark asking questions to an endless stream of nonexistent ghosts. Rarely do the ghost hunters find anything that could be considered paranormal. After the cast conducts a fly by night investigation they pack up all the fancy gear and that is the end of the show. I would think at least a few different visits would be needed before any conclusions could be made by any investigation of any area that has been known to have paranormal activity. I also wonder why a daytime investigation is not done along with the short night investigations? How can anything be determined without a full complete research of the area conducted over at least a few full 24 hour day visits? Clearly this will not be the road to finding answers about that which haunts the living.
There are good ghost hunter investor gators out there however they are busy doing full credible investigations leaving little time to spit out weekly TV spoofs about unknowns we really should understand. I take my hat off to all those who truly want to find answers to so many unknown questions and simply laugh and shake my head at all the fools throwing out nonsense for a fast buck leaving us lost to what it is that so many people experience under the title haunted or ghostly. I know I have seen things I could not explain or understand and wish I could find some answers.
Many of us have had ghostly events happen to us when we think we see a strange image of a person that is no longer living flesh and blood or a shadow figure moving across a room that we could not explain. Others have had visits from loved ones who have passed or watched as a ghostly form crossed their path that did not belong there. These odd events happen all the time. I just wish we knew exactly what it is that we are witnessing.
There have been harmless ghosts reported as well as frightening ghosts. We have reported clear visible images of people seen as well as mist like clouds or strange orbs of light all reported by people from the beginning of mankind. Ghosts have been here with us from the start- this we cannot deny. The question is what exactly are we dealing with?
The main thinking and one I agree with is that some ghosts are the soul or energy of what was once a living breathing human. It is hard to disagree with this if you have ever seen a ghostly image of someone you knew and loved come to you in its spirit or ghostly form. I do not doubt for a moment that what we see has to do with the energy that was once the engine of a living person now located in a new form or dimension since the human body that once housed them has died. I am sure there are many people who would argue with me that this is simply ridiculous and once you die that is it. I am entitled to my opinion and giving this a great deal of thought really think that the energy that gave us life does not die once our human body ceases to exist. I do not know exactly the why or where or how of this but do think that energy continues on. Still the entire concept of ghosts and haunting remains a complete mystery to me.
I have been running in circles with my thinking on this issue and never seem to find a place to land that is comfortable or fully logical. I keep falling over the same questions and confusion that keeps me wondering what really goes on and why is it as a species we cannot get a true handle on it and instead leave it as a mystery we dare not truly want to solve. Although I believe our souls can visit those that we leave behind I cannot explain sightings of mists of cloud like material or shadow people or evil entities or orbs along with many other things I have not listed. All of them fall under the heading of haunted or ghostly however I have no idea what we are dealing with.
