It’s human nature to be afraid of things that we don’t understand, but should you be afraid of ghosts? For the most part, the answer is ‘no.’ Unlike the horror movie industry would have you believe, most ghosts, or spirits who are no longer living, have no desire to do you harm. If you’ve ever seen the movie The Others, starring Nicole Kidman, you got a taste of what it’s really like for ghosts. In the movie, Nicole Kidman played a woman who lived in a house that she believed to be haunted. However, it turns out, Nicole Kidman was actually the ghost, and not only did she have no idea that she was dead, but she didn’t realize that the ‘ghosts’ in her home were actually living humans. The Nicole Kidman character lived in her own world, had her own concerns, and was just annoyingly bothered by the humans who happened to be inhabiting the same home.
That’s what it’s like for the most part if there is a ghost in your home or in another area that you frequent. That spirit is so caught up in his or her reality, which is keeping him or her tied to the human plane rather than the other side, that the spirit really isn’t too concerned with what is going on in your life. That’s not to say that you and a ghost would be oblivious to each other’s existence. When a ghost is inside of a home, there are often sounds, smells and even sightings associated with it. You might hear creaking floors or footsteps when noone is around. You may notice flashes of light. You may notice doors moving; for example you might notice that the door to your guest room is open wider than you left it. Sometimes people report slamming doors and other loud noises in homes where ghosts frequent. It’s also normal to notice a change in temperature in a room where a ghost is located. The temperature tends to drop drastically in places where ghosts are. If you notice a sudden blast of cold air, a ghost could be around.
But should you be afraid? There are not many reported cases of ghosts having hurt the living. If there’s a ghost in your home, you might try talking to it. Many people live happily with ghosts in the house. Some even report enjoying the ghost’s companionship. However, if you are afraid and you want to remove a ghost from your home, there is something you can do. You can contact a medium, a person who has the ability to communicate with spirits. Some mediums help spirits move from the Earth plane to the other side. A medium can also speak with the ghost to find out why the ghost is still around. Sometimes spirits refrain from moving to the other side because they have some type of unfinished business on the earth plane. If a medium finds out what the spirit has not managed to complete, you may be able to do something to put the spirit’s heart at ease. A medium doesn’t have to come to your home to be able to help you. Talk to a medium by phone, by clicking here.
The most important thing for you to remember if you have a ghost in your home is that ghosts are nothing more than people who are at a different stage of their lives. There are likely other living people who’d do you more harm.
