Earthbound Ghosts Ghosts can be earthbound for a variety of reasons. A person who died in their sleep might literally wake up dead. As funny as this may sound, they honestly wouldn't have any recollection of dying or be aware of their death. They could virtually go for years carrying out their day-to-day routine as they had in life. Imagine their frustration at wanting to communicate with the people around them and not being able to, or having strangers move into the home they still think is theirs. Another, more complicated reason ghosts might remain earthbound is that they may have unfinished business they are determined to complete.   A murder victim, for example, might remain earthbound to avenge his or her untimely death.   In some cases a ghost might choose to remain here to ensure secrets they so carefully guarded in life remain hidden long after death.   Thank You for sharing this Ghostmist*
