A Word about Ghosts!
by James Van Praagh
July 24, 2015
I just returned from one of the most spiritually charged places in the country, Lily Dale, New York. Since1879, Lily Dale has been a mecca for spiritual development - in fact, everyone who resides within it’s gates has passed a test proving that they are a medium, a healer or a psychic of some kind. Visitors can tour the pet cemetery (all varieties of pets, from birds to horses, are buried there), or venture into the otherworldly virgin forest to receive readings from local mediums at the Inspiration Stump Ceremony.
Lily Dale is one of my favorite places to host a demonstration. Not only is it full of like-minded individuals – but it’s also home to countless ghosts and spirits. Once when I was here, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln appeared to me. Last week I spent some time at the old Assembly Hall in the center of Lily Dale. It’s walls are covered with drawings, paintings and tapestries, all guided by spirit hands, and the rustic old rooms are so crowded with ghosts that there’s barely room for the living!
Ghosts among us.
Being at Lily Dale made me think about ghosts and the mixed emotions they stir up in the living. When I was a child I could see dead people – and for the most part, they had a positive influence on my life. However, I soon realized that like people, ghosts can be good or bad. Most ghosts, or Spirit people, come to me from the other side after they have successfully passed over into the light. It’s the ghosts who remain earthbound who encroach upon our physical environment, and they can have a negative, fearful effect on us.
