I’m in the midst of a job as a tour guide for history/ghost tours in Lebanon, PA. As patrons asked me questions, here is what surprised me. I’ve never seen a ghost under eleven years old, nor have I seen an old person ghost. Maybe that’s because those ages are the least troubled, and they move on to another dimension and don’t hang around.
I only see the top two thirds of a spirit with no
lower half, and they float. From my ghost research, that’s common for other
ghost spotters. Some spirits wear diaphanous gowns and some wear clothes from
the period when they lived.
Ghosts are not scary to me, but disgruntled ones make
me uncomfortable. I’ve read they are wandering souls so it’s possible they
aren’t comfortable either.
The first time I experienced ghosts was with my Great Aunt
Naomi when I was about five. As we climbed the stairs of the Farmers Trust
building to her tiny apartment, she stopped to rest. I flattened my body
against the wall and said I was afraid of the ghosts. She told me they’re
harmless and that I should leave them alone.
Spirits talk to me but I don’t think they listen. This
is how they present themselves to me. I see them, hear them, smell them, or get
goosebumps.
Thirty years ago, a good psychic told me, you talk to
dead people. Horrified, I tried to pretend it wasn’t true, but I knew it was.
Since I’m a medium, I guess that’s my specialty. Can’t say I’m especially fond
of them though.
