Ghost Sightings
Ghost sightings have been reported in the darkest, most remote recesses of ancient Ireland all the way to the brightest most populated cities in North America. Folklore abounds with legends of those who have passed over leaving a lingering trace of their former selves or their personality. Some claim that a ghost sighting is not just a trace or residue of the personality, but the actual soul of the person persisting without a physical body.
What causes a living being to become a ghost? Does it occur only when death coincides with a traumatic event, or could there be other less tragic reasons? Some believe ghosts exist because they have some unfinished business in their lives, while some believe that everyone is a ghost as the soul is separable from the shell of the biological human form.
In years past, spiritualists experienced much popularity and were one of the most fashionable ways one could contact the dead—without accidentally bumping into them! Spiritualists used séances, clairvoyance and other psychic means to conjure up communications with those on the other side. Some spiritualists were very convincing and realized great success in helping people. Others were charlatans, ruining the respect and credibility of their profession with hokey fabrications and cheap attempts to sway the emotions of the bereaved for monetary gain. Throughout history, spiritualism has tended to bleed over into religion and religious beliefs. This is rightly so, since religion and spirituality are so closely connected.
Today, however, paranormal research is taking a more scientific direction. Through the use of film and electronic equipment, man is seeking more objective means of proving the legitimacy of life after death and the significance that presents. This is a revolution of mainstream belief as the existence of spirits is no longer in the imaginary realm of the mentally unstable, but is actually verging on scientific fact.
As to spiritualism and the history of paranormal exploration, we will attempt to delve into those matters elsewhere on this site. Meantime, we are researching ghost sightings and haunted locations. These locations will be listed with explicit instructions on how to find them so that anyone who wants to investigate will have the opportunity to do so. However, precise locations will be revealed only when such information will not jeopardize the safety and/or privacy of the owners or inhabitants. In any case, we will present to you the stories and legends. Hopefully you can visit some of them yourself to determine whether the stories are true.
We hope you will find our information useful and valuable in your search for answers to your own questions about man, spirits and his existence in either form.
Enjoy!
Ghostly Costume Tips:
Ghost sightings can be terrifying, except for when it's in your local neighborhood on Halloween. When you see the children walking past in their ghost costumes there's nothing too terrifying about it. Except of course, if they didn't learn how to make a costume. Then it can be tragic to see Halloween costumes that aren't up to snuff. Halloween traditions may never change, and you can never be too old for Halloween if you have a sexy costume to wear!
