“If our
personality survives death, then it is strictly logical or
scientific to assume that it retains memory, intellect, other
faculties, and knowledge that we acquire on this earth.”
Thomas Edison
All Hallow's Eve is
rapidly approaching. What better time to discuss ghosts, ghouls, and
goblins; how they communicate with us; and, more importantly, why?
October
31st is a time when we celebrate Halloween with a mixture of
anticipation and spine-tingling veneration. This is a time when the
veil (vibrational frequency) between our dimensions and those of
ghosts is at its thinnest. This is also a time when dimensional
portals are opened to the fairy realms as well as to other realms of
existence. Halloween is a magical night—a night of ghostly
communications and spectral visitations! If one is seeking to
establish contact with ghosts this is the perfect time to do so. It is
also a good time to explore other worldly beings and how they
communicate. Being a ghost hunter, a paranormal investigator, and also
a parapsychologist, I am always excited at any opportunity to explore
this amazing phenomenon.
Ghosts are disembodied
entities who have retained the power to reason and communicate.
However, our fear is the greatest barrier to first-hand communication.
Without a doubt, when someone suddenly comes face to face with a ghost
any chance of speaking to it, much less understanding it, is usually
lost. Initial shock and fear render the person speechless, and then
denial or disbelief totally alters their entire perception of the
event.
The ghost may be trying
desperately to communicate a message to its unsuspecting host.
However, if the person with whom it comes into contact is fearful,
this usually negates the possibility of establishing contact. It’s
hard not to react fearfully, especially if this is a startling first
encounter with a ghost. The person who is contacted is usually running
in the opposite direction so fast that they lose any possibility of
communicating with their unseen visitor. This, of course, is why there
is so little reported communication between ghosts and humans.
Communication with
"Ghost Worlds" is a fascinating area of study and research.
Parapsychologists and paranormal
investigators seek confirmation of spiritual voices in various ways,
such as allowing the ghost to communicate when and where it is ready
to do so. Although it isn’t a two-way communication, it is at least
a way of receiving their messages by the use of recording devices.
This way the encounter will not be a total loss because of a natural
human reaction to seeing a full apparition, ecto-mist, or by hearing a
disembodied voice from beyond. From my perspective, before any
assessment of communication can be established it must be acknowledged
and accepted that ghosts contact us—not the other way around.
Ghosts may attempt to
communicate their feelings in several different ways:
- They may try to send
thought impressions to us or use mental telepathy to allow
themselves to be seen. They may appear in period dress, as full
apparitions, or merely as an ecto-mist floating in front of us. Of
course, they could appear in a frightening persona if they are
intent on scaring us.
- They may appear to
speak; however, a discernible voice may not be forthcoming, due to
the misalignment of energy vibrations. A voice transmission that
may have started out as a full sentence may become mere gibberish.
As a result we may only be able to receive bits and pieces of the
original message that the ghost is trying to relay to us.
- They may use their
own mysterious language to try and convey a message to us. By
paying close attention to them, their gestures, and their
projected smells, colors, and manifestations, we can often get a
clear picture of what it is they are trying to communicate. I
believe that most ghosts try to communicate in simple terms that
are not scary.
Ghosts communicate when
and where they want to, and even then their contact may be very
subtle. Sometimes a whispered voice or perhaps a silent game of
charades is all that one may hear or see. They may point to something
or indicate a direction for us to follow. They may lead us to doors,
walls, staircases, or mirrors and pictures in an effort to relate
their messages. These ghostly mannerisms and activities may be clues
which will aid you in piecing together their cryptic communications.
Ghosts also contact us
through our dreams. This is possibly the easiest and least threatening
way for them to deliver messages. We are more receptive in our sleep
and not usually aware of the fact that communication is actually
taking place. When contact is established and messages from our loved
ones are received, they are very often heart-warming and become
treasured memories that never fade.
Ghosts may also
manipulate electrical objects such as phones, appliances, clocks, and
lights in an attempt to be noticed. If messages are received by phone,
they are usually initiated to say a loving farewell, or issue a
warning, and may take place on special occasions, especially if the
messages are from family members. They will sound exactly like the
deceased, leaving little doubt as to their ghostly identity.
Although no special
skills or supernatural abilities are needed to make contact with a
ghost, it must be remembered that communication is a two-way endeavor.
The ghost must lower its vibrational frequency to find a receptive
human who has perhaps raised their frequency through emotions such as
fear, anger, excitement, or meditation. It takes a tremendous amount
of energy on the ghosts’ part, to convey messages through a swirling
sea of vibrational frequencies and electromagnetic energy fields.
There are other ways to
entice ghostly conversations and once again, Halloween is an opportune
time to explore these avenues of expression because of the thinning of
the veil.
Although I don’t
personally recommend using a Ouija board as a method to contact
ghosts, some people do have success with it. If one’s desire is to
just have fun with few expectations for anything else, possibly no
real harm will be done. However, there are always exceptions, and a
seemingly harmless game of ghostly communication could turn into an
eerie haunting experience. Be warned!
On a lighter note:
there are other methods that are far less dangerous and much more
exciting.
- Visit a clairvoyant
medium for fun and enlightenment.
- Gaze into a crystal
ball for in-depth inner vision.
- Attend a séance for
messages from the other side.
- Ghost-hunt in
cemeteries and haunted houses.
- Explore divination
for guidance and knowledge.
These are all very
effective ways to communicate with ghosts, and Halloween offers the
ambiance and atmosphere for tantalizing results.
So this Halloween, if
you had the opportunity to talk to a ghost, what would you say? Or
better yet, what would you hear?
