When the physical body dies suddenly in an accident or traumatic way, the spirit may not
be aware that its body has died and so carries on as if it’s still alive. Alternatively, the
spirit may be attached to its surroundings for some reason and so will stay around long
after new people have begun to use that space for themselves. If the ghost you see is
someone you know then it is likely that they are there to be near to you to comfort you or
pass on a message. It is possible to see animal as well as human ghosts and I have been
lucky enough to see both. Neither was scary like you see in movies but instead was
surprising and peaceful. I think horror movies have a lot to answer for because they
cause people to be scared of a natural occurrence like this.

As children are more open to natural phenomena like ghosts they are more likely to
converse with them and show no fear. However, it is at quite a young age that we are
conditioned into believing that there are no such things as ghosts or they are scary.
When we are told it is all in our imagination we stop seeing and/or hearing them. Ghosts
are just spirits that have either come back to tell us something or are so attached to their
surroundings that they do not want to leave them. And it may be that they appear more
readily to children because they can get through easily. Unfortunately, the adults usually
dismiss them as imaginary friends so any messages don’t get through.

It is also possible that items in your home will be moved around by ghosts who are trying
to get your attention. If you find that this has been happening to you then try to sit quietly
and relax as it may be possible to feel who is there. Also, keep journal of your               as
there may be messages coming to you in your sleep. All you need to do is recognise
what is a message and feel privileged that you have been chosen to receive it.
Mind, Body & Spirit - Ghosts

Ghosts are spirits that do not leave the physical plane immediately
(or return for a reason) and some of us can sense their presence.

Not everyone sees ghosts. They probably only make themselves
visible to us if they want to and you are more likely to feel their
presence than see them.
