Movies and books portray the spirit world, or ghosts as I’ll call them, in a negative way. I know that conflict sells, but it leads to misunderstanding. My favorite cartoon as a kid was Casper the Friendly Ghost, maybe because I’ve always seen ghosts. The friendly ones hang around places where they were most happy, and might be seen or sensed in an old building. If you want to connect with the spirit of a loved one who is gone, be open to it with all your senses. Believe and ye shall find.
Some spirits are full of mischief. Those are the ones who slam doors or knock things over. That can seem scary, but it’s just the unknown, so laugh or be fascinated or ignore it. Disgruntled ghosts make their presence known. It can be a flash seen out of the corner of an eye, or maybe a wavy presence. Some ghosts hang in packs of two or three, and they are the ones you might hear going WHOO. But is it really a sound you hear, or do you smell something odd, or do you feel a change in temperature? Don’t fear. Ghosts feed on fear.
This is just my belief system, so choose to ignore or adopt it. The winds of autumn bring questions about the spirit world. So much of it remains a mystery to me too.
