Interesting theory Ryan.

Doesnt work in my case though. My two experiences both happened

in the house I grew up in. A house that was in my family since around

the 1920s.

It was bought by my Grandfather's parents (when he was an adult).

When they died it became my Grandfather's house and he lived in

it until he died in 1990. My father grew up in the house and moved

back there with me and my brother in the late 60s, and lived with

my grandfather. My father still lives in that house.

It's been a home for decades with no break.

Might I ask what the activity was?

sure. i saw an old woman in my bedroom when i was a kid.

the room always terrified me from that day on. it's the room

where i hide my kids x-mas gifts and a few years later i was

there to get the presents and someone/something knocked

very loudly on the window. this is on the 2nd floor. when i

could finally make myself move and look out the window,

which over looked the porch roof, the snow was untouched.

so no one or nothing was out there.

It's believed that all living creatures are made up of energy. No one knows what happens to the energy after we die. Going by Einstein's laws then energy is neither created nor destroyed, so what happens to it. Maybe by making a house a home, we are giving some of our energy to the home. It can either override the incoming presence or strengthen it and allow it to remain. This all depends on us when we move into a new house.

Just something to ponder and debate.

Time to revive an old thread. I have often read that spirits or ghosts as many people call them are the energies left over when people pass away. All living things eventually die including animals, birds, plants and all things that have life. I have seen, heard and was touched or harmed by spirits. So if this theory that spirits are leftover energy, then anything that has ever lived would leave behind a spirit. I have seen spirits that looked human to me and I have seen the spirit of a cat. I don't believe that I ever saw the spirits of any other animal, bird, fish, tree or plant.

I know what the word "paranormal" means and recently I came across the word "perinormal" which is new to me. I never saw this word or heard it spoken. You can get a fairly good idea what the word perinormal means here: http://www.nationmas…rmal-phenomenon Again I am not trying to promote the web site but only sharing a source of information.
