GHOSTS

Ghosts are the precence of the soul, spirit, or the personality of a person who has died. Rather then pass over, for some reason ghosts has remanined on earth. It is thought the person may not be aware they have died, or are a lost soul, or the ghosts may refuse to pass over as they face some sort of hell on the other side due to crimes committed on this side.

Ghosts will often take on the look of a misty or semitransparent or fog-like human form. Sometimes Ghosts will make its precense known through moving objects or noises. Those involved in ghost research believe the ghosts may actually be a form of psychic or mental energy that was left behind.

The cities of York and Derby in England are famous for ghost sightings.

In cultures that hold a belief in reincarnation, they belive Ghosts are souls that refus to be "recycled", because they have unfinished business to complete first. The Chinese have some very interesting beliefs on ghosts that include a ghost can become immortal and become a demigod Or ghosts can go to hell and suffer for all of eternity. They believe some ghosts kill people to rob them of their rights to reincarnation. Ghosts can die and become a "ghost of ghosts".

While most people believe in ghosts there are others that are skeptical. Skeptics claim that often people claim to see ghosts when their senses are impaired, such as when waking from sleep. They also question the motives of others who claim to see ghosts. Sometimes people claim to see Ghosts for money.

Protection Against Ghosts:
It is sad Chalcedony and Obsidian worn on the person will protect against ghosts. Cetain metals such as silver are also protective. Also salt carried in your pocket will keep ghosts at bay. Placing an iron rod on a grave will prevent ghosts from rising out of the ground. Placing an iron horseshoe at the entrance to a building will stop ghosts from entering. Iron nails taken from a tomb and nailed into a doorway will prevent nightmares. When a person dies in a home all doors, windows and cupboards should be unlocked so as to allow the ghosts free passage out of the house and avoid any future hauntings. Corpses should always be carried out feet first so the ghost of the corpse will not return. During the funeral all furniture in the house must be rearanged so that if the ghost returns it will not recognize the place and leave. Also one must not speak bad of the dead or the ghosts may come and haunt them.
