        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>I don&#39;t think that spirits actually get stuck here. I think if they remain, they have a reason for doing so. Once they resolve that reason, they move on. I don&#39;t think our free will just disintegrates once we die. On the other hand, a spirit may believe they are trapped - but does that mean they really are? I can think of a ton of reasons why a spirit might remain - just as many reasons as we have for staying in situations that don&#39;t serve us when we&#39;re alive. Off the top of my head, here are a few:</p>
<ol>
<li>They believe they are protecting personal property</li>
<li>They don&#39;t want to let go of people or things</li>
<li>Change is scary, so it&#39;s easier to stick with the known</li>
<li>They made a promise and they feel they have&#39;t fulfilled it yet</li>
<li>They want to ensure their loved ones will be okay</li>
<li>They are afraid they did something so terrible in life they will go to hell if they move on</li>
<li>They fear the unknown</li>
</ol>
<p>
	Probably many others, as well, but I&#39;d need coffee to really come up with them.</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;ve often wondered if ghosts are in a state of limbo, waiting to be ready to move onto whatever comes next.  I&#39;ve even wondered if that state is what we call hell and/or purgatory.   The Catholics believe that ghosts are in purgatory and it makes sense to me.</p>
<p>	I really think that some ghosts may be in what we think of as hell.   What could be worse than being stuck in a state where no one can see or hear you, especially if you&#39;re trapped in a place where you did something evil?  I&#39;m thinking especially about ghosts in prisons, at murder scenes, etc.  In fact, some EVP&#39;s I&#39;ve heard have said that they are in hell.</p>
<p>	I&#39;m certainly not saying that this is true.   It&#39;s just something I ponder.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>
	I feel that the spirits do have similar personas to what existed when they were in human form. Most people are friendly as are the spirits that I encountered. Except for a few exceptions, most of the spirits in my home are friendly. My neighbor who died many years ago was a very friendly and helpful person. I believe that he visited my home in spirit form and continued to help me for some time. </p>
<p>	When I share my experiences with others, they share their experiences with me. One person mentioned a house where a very unfriendly and just plain mean person lived. After he died, his spirit remained in the house and caused many frightening episodes for those who visited. In one case, the unfriendly spirit ran off some house remodelers who refused to go back and finish the work.</p>
<p>	Others shared stories about loved ones who died and who in spirit form came back for a visit. These spirits gave some signs that they were there and didn&#39;t in any way try to frighten anyone. I grieved the loss of my brother who gave me a sign that all is alright. My brother was also my best friend and travel companion. When we traveled together, I always took &#036;100 bills that I stashed in a zippered compartment inside of my belt. I keep a few &#036;100 bills stashed away in my home. One day, I found a &#036;100 bill on top of a cardboard box in my living room. How in the heck did it get there? I don&#39;t think the other spirits were responsible. Some of those spirits like to take my things and hide them. My thoughts were that it was a sign from my brother.</p>
<p>	Like most people, most spirits are friendly and mean no harm. I fear evil and troubled people. Spirits can also be evil or troubled. It is these evil or troubled spirits that I fear. These evil or troubled spirits have frightened me in the past.</p>
<p>	At times, I will share a web link about the paranormal. I do not in anyway try to promote these web links or web sites, I just find them interesting to read. <a href="http://www.ghostweb.com/nature.html" target="_blank">http://www.ghostweb.com/nature.html</a></p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>I do, yes. I think even in spirit form, we have certain personality traits that come with us. Key aspects of who we are in ultimate reality. </p>
<p>	That being said, I think the simplest explanation for what you&#39;re asking is this: The easiest way to make someone recognize you is by presenting as you did in life. Therefore, I&#39;d guess that one of three things is happening.</p>
<p>	1. A spirit is presenting to someone so they are recognized</p>
<p>	2. A fake medium is picking up on cues from the person they are &#34;reading&#34; using cold reading techniques and using that information to convey a personality their mark will recognize.</p>
<p>	3. Some aspect or energy of what was once that human being remains as an imprint, and the sensitive picks up on the energetic imprint, which is an imprint of the human being that spirit was in life, but not necessarily who they are in another realm.</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>A bit of a long winded question, for which I apologise, so please bear with me.</p>
<p>	I often read that when person passes to spirit, they enter a realm that is neutral and all knowing and hang around (playing Grand Theft Auto and stuff), waiting for their next re-incarnation.</p>
<p>	What bothers me is that, if this is the case, why do spirits maintain their earthly persona when communicating with sensitives? If they&#39;ve passed on, then surely their real persona should surface?</p>
<p>	Does anyone have any thoughts on this?</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>I saw various online polls that suggested between one third to over half of the people believe in ghosts and paranormal events. I am a believer because I have seen, heard and felt them. Unless one has experienced an event, how could a non-believer know?</p>
<p>	My belief is that ESP, channeling, clairvoyance, telepathy, dreams that come true and other strange happenings are all connected to the spirit world. I sometimes wonder where my thoughts come from.</p>
<p>	<a href="http://www.psychicscience.org/paraglos.aspx#DE" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.psychicscience.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.psychicscience.org/</a>.....os.aspx#DE</a>   Here is a good psychic science web site for a listing and short description of paranormal terminology and words. I am not promoting the web site but it has a long list of paranormal terms and words with a short description of each.</p>
<p>	I believe in UFOs and life on distant planets light years away. Our sun is a star. Looking at the night skies, I see millions of stars and wonder what planets with life orbit around those distant suns. I was never abducted by aliens or saw a UFO described by many. Years ago around the mid 1960s, I saw something up in the night sky that didn&#39;t make sense at all. It wasn&#39;t any aircraft or firefly that I would be familiar with. This blinking light that resembled the strobe light of an aircraft in the night skies went in a straight line and several times made sharp 90 degree turns. Aircraft that I am familiar will change directions in wide curves.</p>
<p>	My desktop computer is located in my spare bedroom and I have my cat&#39;s perch located next to my chair. My cat comes to join me when I spend an hour or two doing online research. When my cat comes to visit, I can see her walking toward me in my side vision. There have been a few times that I turned my head to look directly at her but she was not there. The same for the few times that she would rub herself against my leg and I would look down to pet her and she was not there. This has been happening for a couple of weeks now. It must have been one of the friendly spirits letting me know of its presence.</p>
