I guess I'd just like to try it, to come back, like I said, if I could then that way it would be a heck of a way to spend eternity. BTW, sorry about the inappropriate word that had to be removed. I do apologize for the error. It was certainly not intentional. No problemo, dude. We have it set up so it does that automatically. I even let one slip myself once in a while. I wonder what it is that does cause ghosts to hang around here? If the afterlife really is without limits (which I kind of think it is also) why would a person hang around this rock? There must be some really powerful emotional connection keeping them from moving on.

Pardon the pun but it "beats" me. lots of theories why "ghosts" stay around various locations, usually related to their death, usually if it is sudden especially. Guess being shattered by explosive metal from a cannon ball exploding might be considered as sudden.

Check out the recent story in Peeple magazine about Diem Brown dying of cancer. It stood out to me for 2 reasons: She was totally in denial, all the way up to her death, and this was the third time she had cancer. Nevermind that I knew nothing else about this obviously "sparky" lady. Number 2, it was said that at the moment of her death, smoke alarms or fire alarms went off near her hospital room . Did she pull on that as she left?

Got some great books about the Civil War and "haunted locations"....problem is that still no one has come up with anything "new" that can explain what is going at various battlefields.

Cleaning up graveyards, family or any, for that matter, regardless of how good the intentions, simply might not sit well with those buried there, so to speak.

and why is that? Pardon me, I am becoming a bit more curious in this area. I don't believe in "ghosts" (as in, the dearly departed sticking around for more than a "hello" or "bye now"), but somehow this "issue" keeps coming up. Two of my kids (actually adults, now), do quit a bit of hanging around a place called "Warrensburg, Mo.". I've been there a few times lately, including last night for about 5 hours. 2 of those hours by myself . . . you know it sorted dawned on me that I was pretty uncomfortable there; at night only? Eleven miles from Knob Knoster, Mo. (ever heard of it?) and 14 some miles from Whityeman a/force base. last night I drove around the "base" right before dark. Really. The whole thing. Nice houses and all, everything fenced with barbed-wire at the top from some 6 square miles. No foolin'. I grew up close to Richards gebauer and IT should have looked this BIG from a kid's mind. Nope. That place (last night) is a community. And weirdest of all, I did not see one other person, or one car, the whole trip around. And I felt SAFE. I almost never feel that "safe" outside certain areas, so go figure. Ya, I've talked before about some pretty cool machines coming out of this place, and I got reasons to pray for the military, but never expected anything like THIS. I saw some pretty cool machines last summer in Wisconsin on a drive around, but no comparison in, ummm, feelings (type of hallucinations?).I head back to "town", Warrenswhatever, and that's when I start feeling "creepy". Small town, country feel, all the right stores, and college, and friendliness - what gives? It was still daylight when I passed Knob's national park, but didn't want to go in there, either. Start evaluating. maybe I just have "pleasant conversation" riding down there with a passenger, and the car is empty when I head back? So, a little bit on alert, I had dinner in town, stopped by the Walmart, and headed home. Just North (or partially West) of the exit to town (coming in), I happen to notice a sign that I have never noticed before. "Devil Branch" (not branches. and not "Devil Branch Bridge"). Those 2 things a little bit important when you get on the 'Net, you see. Otherwise, SO many bunny trails . . . Forgot about it after I got home. Safe. Much later, laying in bed, I remember and look it up. DUH. Warrensberg?? a base and a famous hill nearby? The mention of "Cole Younger" (who I know about), and the "proximity of the border wars"? Who am I kidding? All I need to do now is locate the local cemetary (day-time)

And I don't know yet if I'm ready to have this type of experience. Ghost hunting? At this point I'll keep my "hunting" to reading about it.

After chassin' ghosts, so to speak, for many years, I wonder now after just turning 69, if and when I pass-over, will I meet friends who have gone on before me or some P-O ghosts I bothered when "investigating" their "special places"?

BTW, if you visit ANY Civil War battlefield, near-by towns, POW locations, etc., if you expect something to happen, you might not get what you had hoped for. Sometimes "things" are simply quite. Other times, cameras, watches, cars, etc., won't act as they should or act at all. Enjoy "them" while you are "seeing them" as most don't hang around simply to please the tourists.

Any ideas on why they DO "hang around"? (A phrase I do use for a lot of things. Please don't pay it any mind). Shrug.
I have "my theories". Don't mind hearing YOURS. And others.
Hoping that your health is really not bringing you closer to the other side. 😊
I've been "trying" something "new" on my dear old dad. He's always (mainly to my mom; in private) claiming that he doesn't have much longer to live. She tells me he says this, and I pick up his "meaning" in other things he says.
If I'm repeating myself; let me apologize in advance.
I ask my dad, seriously, "Have you been dreaming of people in our family and friendships that have already departed?"
(and yes. I was initially concerned about "planting" this thought).
Thus far, his answer is "No".
On Parkinson's meds, I expect hallucinations, even with all the improvements (missed a couple pills? Withdrawals?).
The other day, unbeknownst to me, he was left alone upstairs. I slept in until 8 am, and found a note from my mom. He usually doesn't get up until after 9.
I found him sitting comfortably in his recliner, with the tv still off. As soon as I came in the room, he told me about "the nice man" that had been sitting in the chair (a real chair near by) and talking with him. (So that's why the tv is still off). My dad asked me "where did he (the man) go?"
I just wanted to know if my dad knew who it was. 😊
(Hope today has been a good day for You).

About any Civil War battlefield is haunted and the ghosts there will totally agree. Just going over this thread again. Telling you right now that I have "haf a mind" to "quote" all yer stuff.😘 😇 --------- What has HAPPENED to me?? Nothing new. Just never equated "ghosts" with much of the paranormal experiences that I have had. Been back to Warrensburg. Daytime. Actually for a "religious revival" type thing; 4 days in a row. From early evening to nighttime. Alone on the trip there and alone going home. This past August 2017. Very hot and humid. I looked up "parks" and such, but totally forgot about checking out cemeteries. There are a few caves there, too. I went to one "old park/family picnic area", broad daylight, (again, by myself in a locked and air conditioned car), and though there seemed to be a couple of young families there, I didn't like it that these parks were on "dead ends". Not trying to be funny here. Maybe it's the single, white female syndrome. But these parks were at the end of long, dusty, needing-repair roads, and shelters and pavement backing up to thick woods. It WAS hot enough that I wondered what would actually make someone choose to picnic here...... Just wanted to note that this town made me feel "odd" again...... but no such feelings RIGHT IN the town, like going into the local library (felt comfortable in town; though it is still old buildings).

If people would have prayed over that area a long time ago maybe there wouldn't have been a war there in the first place. I think that ghosts on a battlefield are still fighting. They are either trying to fight the war or fighting to get back to the life that was taken away from them so soon. I've been to a bunch of civil war battlefields but I've never seen a ghost at any of them. Maybe I just wasn't there at the right time or the right spot.

Am sure the fighting continues, based on too many reports of such actions from various battlefields and having witnessed several instances myself of such "ghostly combat".

"Them" as I call them are the remains of killed soldiers that still haunt the battlefield at Gettysburg. Some died instantly some took time to die on the battlefield but die they did. Some are thin, mist shapes, others as solid as you or I. Some I have spoken to, talk as if it was 1863, July to be specific and no clue they are deceased. When attempts are made to follows them, it can be confusing locate 1 "person' out of many participants on the "field". "Ghosts of Gettysburg" cites such instances, so I am far from being alone in confronting "ghosts" from another time that cannot leave where they were killed, simply choose not to do so, as if they have yet to complete a task yet uncompleted and are stuck in time, always repeating the same task, over and over.

Also, "them" relates to an event in 1963 when my cousin and myself were singled out at a family reunion to clean up the family cemetery a the original homestead where my fathers ancestors were buried and are to this date. It was early, about 1:00 o'clock when we started our "assigned tasks", and it was a fairly dirty job. Not just cleaning up the ground but cleaning off each headstone. Some of the old one, from the early 1700s were hardly visible as to names and some were little more than rubble. Anyway, we got around to the ancestors that , by DOB we figured had fought in the Civil War and a later review of the "family tree", as noted in the "family Bible" proved us correct. As we started to gather all our equipment to get back home and have word with our respective fathers who had volunteered us for this task, I happened to glance up, about 100 yards. away and thought I saw several "shapes" just standing there, I punched my cousin and directed him to look where I had to see what he could see and make of it. The longer we stood there, the hot, July afternoon began to cool off, more quickly that it seemed "normal" and the "shapes" became much clearer to both of us. In the doorway of a half ruined farm bar stood, we guessed, at about 8 to 10, "men" dressed n Confederate Gray, uniforms looking like new , complete with weapons, some apparently having a "drink" from what appeared to be a canteen of some kind, others were smoking homemade "corn cob pipes", others cigarettes or cigars, we were not sure, but all seemed to be intent on observing what my cousin and myself had been doing. No idea how long "they" were there but we figured out or guessed, that the possibility of cleaning up the cemetery had done "something" to the rest of those ancestor buried there, if the "men" we saw, were buried there, all did not die in battle, all lived to and old age, and were buried in formal ,Sunday clothing, which family photos verified. So why the Civil War attire? and who were they? After what seemed to be forever, my cousin gain control over the situation, grabbed all what was not already in the truck, grabbed me and we scrambled in the truck, pushed the ignition button, back then, not all vehicles had keys to turn to start the vehicles, and wasted no time getting the ****out of there. I looked back at the barn door and I think or believe I think I saw several of the "men" tip their caps to us, turn to walk into the barn and vanished from sight. A tall tale from 16 and 17 yo boys, who had spent hours in a hot July sun, so who can say what we saw. The heat can do strange things to people, tired and wet from hard work. When we got back, the first question from my father and his 6 brothers was "did we see anything unusual" as they phrased it. The reply was "yes", with several curse words mixed in with the single word "yes". Then we all went inside, cooled off, rested, then my g.father left the room, came back with the family photo album, I guess tracing family members, with the advent of the camera. As he flipped through the pages, he stopped at two pages and ask both of us to look closely at specific of the old, faded photos. Aside from loosing bladder control, I recognized the photos of my ancestors, distant cousins, taken before they left to fight in the Civil War and on their return and during their lives as part again of the complete family, which my g. father, my father, and I were the current part of. The part of the whole thing was that I recognized several of the faces I had seen standing in that farm door, now in photos taken before they had gone off to war, returned and died a natural death, at various homes, in the general same country area in eastern North Carolina. I expect no one to take this story seriously and being 67, parts of it might have gotten confused, except the memory of the faces of the "men" in that barn door, their graves, and the photos taken of them, now with names that matched several of the headstones that were washed, that had gone off for 4 yrs., came back home, went back to various occupations and passed away. The photo album was closed, g. father walked away, came back and nothing was ever said about it again, in my presence, anyway. The album, seems to have been passed to another cousin and hopefully to his children, never to be lost. I went back to that same cemetery years later when my father, then when other family members passed away over time. The cemetery is still there. The old barn has long since been torn down. I visit there, on times of my mother and father's birthdays but I don't care to linger because I have no idea what I might see and frankly, I don't want to risk it.

Big difference from what I thought were "investigations"minus all the "bells and whistles". I question most, like "over acting", dead give away. Stating "philosophy" about what is done and why, just some "leaders" of shows seem to get to edge of acting for their own egos. Won't name the series but been around too long to be faked, totally. I just sorta watch and enjoy. Am waiting for the day that a "full materialization" takes place and the investigators get "slapped" around. Been hit, bitten, punched, slapped and other ways of apparently "them" letting "off steam".Too old/sick to do what I started doing back in 1954 at age of 7.

Needless to say, I still have no desire to watch such shows. 😁
And, guy, I'm not "quote" your "stuff" so much this eve because I have some premonition that you won't be around..... NOT!!
It's more of "a feeling" to start collecting old books again; making copies of important stuff, etc.
Just a "premonition" that something is shifting (again). And confusion sets in a bit....

If my dad hadn't had someone to talk to, before I came upstairs, who knows what he might have been doing?? 😁
