Someone/thing lived in that house with us and never bothered us, it/he/she liked us we think. <br />When we finally decided to move, and people started to view the house - strange things began to happen. Hoses flew off machines and water poured into the basement. A chunk of the ceiling suddenly fell down. 3 offers fell thru due to strange weird occurrences like this. By this time we had moved into the new house, not far away, so I went over to the house to talk to the spirit. I went from room to room being kind saying "you know why we have to move" and " don't worry, we'll only sell to good people". Unbeknowst to me, my hubby went over the same day - stood in the living room and yelled "GET OVER IT". <br /><br />That night we got another offer. I met with the people and asked "why do you want to buy this house" (I wasn't taking any chances that this offer would get screwed up) Their response was "we feel a welcoming spirit in the house" (no, they were not new age hippies, he was in computers, she was an architect). So I sold them the house. <br /><br />When they moved away to CA three years later they came over and asked if we could watch over the house and inhabitant until it sold. They felt like they were betraying the house/spirit by leaving. I went to the house and told it that if he/she was lonely they could come live with us in the new house. My practical husband was furious at me that I would make this offer!! It didn't matter, the spirit stayed with the house and has not visited us. <br /><br />So...I guess I do believe in ghosts...or something.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409455543895086283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23830899.post-88946522284599695662010-03-30T07:12:50.797-07:002010-03-30T07:12:50.797-07:00There are so many ghost stories here and I am so t...There are so many ghost stories here and I am so terrified of them.

On our first night in this house so very long ago, my husband, me and my young daughter had all gone to bed in our new rooms, my mother took the couch in the living room. A little after midnight my husband and I were woken by loud voice, the tinkling of glass and laughter...we thought that mybe my mom had decided to hook up the tv, but it was too loud to ignore so we got up together to see what was up...my mom was sound asleep, tv and radio still unplugged..I think we had a welcome party. We've had loads of strange things happen over the years..and I believe I saw a spirit one evening watching me...these things happen less often since the kids are gone. On a more spiritual note after the death of the twins my friend who 'talks' to dead people spent an evening channeling the babies for my daughter.

It's one thing to be wrong about the existence of ghosts, but another to cheat people who are anguished by bereavement.<br /><br />Strayer said: "I heard that ghosts might be like ripples in plasma, that the energy is left behind in a sort of light memory."<br /><br />Natalie referred to them as entities that "vibrate" faster than most people vibrate, and are not therefore visible to most people. Such descriptions elude scientific sense or verifiability. Think about it--ordinary people can't communicate with ghosts; scientists with all their instruments can't detect ghosts; but paid mediums in darkened rooms can "vibrate" at the level of ghosts and then tell us what they said. However, the work of paid mediums can't be scientifically verified. I would offer that the belief in ghosts is like the belief in God in that people believe because they desperately want to believe, not because they can offer evidence that it is true. I love my ghost/God believing readers to pieces, and I would LOVE to believe as they do. I'm open to believing; I'm eager to believe; and I even implore them to give me a verifiable reason to believe. Some have said that they cant' do this because I am too skeptical. I would ask them why it is that, not just an openness to belief, but a rip-roaring desire to believe isn't enough--why is belief only available to those who require no proof? Doesn't this fact in itself imply that the whole structure of belief is as weak as a house of cards?<br /><br />Bernie said: "would you please read my post and tell me what you think"<br /><br />I'll be over soon.<br /><br />Rhymes said: "I know we disagree about the Holy Spirit."<br /><br />I grew up calling it the Holy Ghost, which made it a little hard to warm up to it.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23830899.post-81881387192473698242010-03-26T06:07:48.885-07:002010-03-26T06:07:48.885-07:00The only ghost I believe in is the Holy Ghost (old...The only ghost I believe in is the Holy Ghost (old-fashioned way of saying Holy Spirit).

Maybe some have a denser energy when living and it takes long time to fade out when we even move. How do psychics touch something and find someone occasionally? I figure it's like a scent trail, only not, some other sort of trail we don't understand. I think the two are connected via the same mechanism, ghosts, that is, and psychic trails followed.<br /><br />I had a ghost cat visit me. It was odd. Would wake me, kneading. Didn't recognize it.

I love this and I'm so glad you shared it. Ghost stories have an integral part of almost every family I know here in Louisiana. <br /><br />My dead Aunt who raised me comes to me in dreams. My younger daughter named her child after Aunt Mace....(my granddaughter's name is Mary Mace) and a few nights after the birth, Aunt Mace came to me in a dream and was laughing and holding baby Mary Mace and told me how happy she was to have her named for her. I get all teary just thinking about it. Yes, we NEED our stories, especially the ghosts, for one day we'll join them. <br /><br />And I firmly believe what the genius story teller, William Faulkner, from your own great home state of Mississippi said: "The past is never dead. It's not even past." <br /><br />and this one from 'As I Lay Dying':<br /><br />"I can remember how when I was young I believed death to be a phenomenon of the body; now I know it to be merely a function of the mind—and that of the minds who suffer the bereavement. The nihilists say it is the end; the fundamentalists, the beginning; when in reality it is no more than a single tenant or family moving out of a tenement or a town."<br /><br />and this great one from the same book: ""I could just remember how my father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time." <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your great stories, Snow! Blessings!!<br /><br />"The universe is not made it atoms.
