Ghosts

[Storm2008]

Do you believe in ghosts?

If yes, what do you think they are?

If no, why do you think so many people perceive them?

I'm not sure what to think about ghosts. Do you believe in ghosts?

[Storm2008]

I do, but not the popular conception of disembodied souls.

I believe that they're the memories of a place. Weaker ones are simply remembered, played out without deviation. More powerful versions wake the local consciousness to some purpose. For instance, they might try to prevent a tragedy from recuring, like the urban legend of the children who push cars off train tracks.

I believe in ghosts.

I think there are three types of ghosts. One is the memory imprinted on an area, they are harmless and can not interact with you. The second level are disembodied spirits, can be either spirits of people or elementals, these ghosts can interact with you and the environment, and can be benign or maleviolent. The third isn't really a ghost, but the poltergiest type. This is usually the excess energy from a teenager; most poltergiest activity comes from homes with teens in them, and disappear after the teen reached adulthood.

Anyway that is my take on ghosts.

Rev. Kelly...is this your take...or your reading and thinking you agree ....or have you had some personal experience to make you acknowledge the three types...

It is a combonation of personal experience and reading. What I read has backed up my personal experiences.

Well, I think you may figure out my answer well in advance:

I don't believe in ghosts, but I don't disbelieve in them either.

Notice that this is sort of a reoccurring theme with so many of my posts. As I've gotten older, I've become much more adept at being confused.

LOL, fair enough.
