Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Ghosts But Were Afraid to Ask!

First of all... very simply put, a ghost is the soul of someone who is deceased. For one reason or another, they choose to remain earthbound rather than move on to the other side. Contrary to what you might think because of the TV shows that are popular today, most souls DO move onto the other side.
The way you can tell if you have a ghost is very simple...
1) Do you feel as if someone is watching you?
2) Do you feel a cold spot in your house where there isn't a draft?
3) Do you hear banging on the walls or footsteps?
4) Do your cats follow something in the room that you can't see?
5) Has it sometimes felt that there is a presence in the room you're in?
6) Do you sometimes get creeped out by the vibes but have no logical explanation for why?
These are indications that you probably have an earthbound spirit in your home or office or school...or or or or... Getting rid of them is actually quite simple. But it takes perseverance.
When you suspect you have a ghost you need to go into the room where you suspect it is hanging out, and be very FIRM with this intruder and tell them they MUST turn and go to the white light...RIGHT now.
You can't act afraid; you have to show no fear.
If there is a certain prayer that gives you courage, then say that prayer and if you are shaking in your boots just don't let them know it.
YOU are the boss!
Do they look awful? No. They look exactly like people except that they are transparent.
They do NOT necessarily appear as they did at the time of their death. But they have a grey energy, and a coldness that can't be mistaken. If you have the ability to see them, it is not uncommon to see them only from the waist up or even from the waist down.
It doesn't mean they're not all there... it just means they can't make all of themselves appear.
Do they all have unresolved issues?
In a sense they do... But the main reason they stay earthbound is because of guilt about things they did in their life, and they worry that God will send them to hell.
Another common reason why they stay earthbound is because there is someone on the other side that they don't want to see.
It's not uncommon to find the original builder in a home. They want to stay and protect it. Often they will remain quiet until the new homeowner tries a remodeling job. And that's when they start to kick up a fuss.
I have seen many teenage souls choose to remain earthbound because they think Heaven is going to be boring. They hang out at high schools and places where other teenagers are found. I ghostbusted a high school in Minneapolis that had 32 teenage spirits! They just wanted to hang out with their fellow classmates. They were from over a 30-year period.
Sometimes, a ghost will fall in love with an owner of a home.
Sometimes, children's spirits choose to remain earthbound and they will hang out in homes with other children. So if you're small child is talking about an invisible playmate, they may very well be seeing one of these child spirits.
What is the difference between an earthbound spirit and those deceased loved ones that are known to communicate with their families? The difference is that your loved ones have moved on, but come to visit from time to time. They are not earthbound. They are free.
What is the difference between a ghost and a spirit? A spirit is not earthbound... a ghost is. They are both spirits...or souls.... same thing. Just a different way of hanging out after life. If they are living on the other side and visiting, they are a spirit. Earthbound is ghost.
What is the best way to protect yourself and others if your with a group doing paranormal research? simply ask God or the Universe to wrap you in a white light of protection. Recently when I was doing a meditation, my guide gave me an image of visualizing ourselves wrapped in white shaving cream that went from the top of our
heads down to our feet.
The other image she gave me was that of a dairy queen ice cream cone with us in the middle!
Whatever works to be able to visualize yourself wrapped in that beautiful white light of the Universe. I think it would be good if we all started visualizing ourselves wrapped in that energy everyday when we wake up, and stay in it throughout the day. The energy on earth is very intense and will continue to be for quite some time. Doesn't mean we can ask for and receive protection. So imagine yourself wrapped in a dairy queen cone of white light protection.
