I think I’ve Seen A Ghost!
What you should do if you see a Ghost
First, let’s start with the knowledge they are just people.
If someone walked into your yard you wouldn’t run away screaming; or if someone bumped into you wouldn’t hide in your room with all of the lights on; or if heard some one talking or a baby crying across the house, you wouldn’t freak out and refuse to sleep in that room anymore, would you?
Ghosts are people (without a physical body). I could complicate things and give you a whole bunch of information about the Light, Spirit, Astral World, Heaven, Hell, (the list goes on forever) or I can tell you to go back to the very basics; think simply.
They are like you, your friends, neighbors, coworkers, family (they may actually be those people). They have thoughts and feelings. They make decisions and choices. If you can really wrap your mind around that they are just people, then you’ll be able to handle the situation comfortably and confidently. People. Can you trust everyone you meet? No. Is everyone you meet out to get you or trying to hurt you? No. What do most people want? To be listened to, recognized and loved, right? Do you know anyone, at all, that doesn’t want peace, security and happiness? No. We all crave those things. So do they; whatever those things may be to them. We are all different and the same at the same time, dead or alive.
So, what should you do if you see a Ghost?
- Remain calm!
- Surround yourself with golden Light and Ask your Higher Self to protect
(that eases panic, too) and guide you
- Listen to your Higher Self guidance!
- Eliminate doubt… even if you think you can’t do it, your Spirit can.
Now, you can:
- Send them to the Light
- Have your Higher Self take them to the Light
- Have your Higher Self get their perfect Guide to take them to the Light or where ever
- Ask them to leave, stop touching stuff, be quiet, etc.
- Have a conversation with them
Oh, and by the way… this is your world- not theirs. They don’t have a physical body, you’re in the physical world/plane (whatever you want to call it) you have more power here than them.
Don’t give your power away because you’re terrified of them. Or more accurately, what you can’t see or don’t know.
Side Note: They are not parlor tricks, they are not fun to have around or to brag about (it’s not cool to have a ‘haunted house’ or a ‘pet ghost’ unless it really is your pet that’s passed), they are to be treated with respect. Why? Because it is the right thing to do. They are people, who are stuck for whatever reason- in a world that hey don’t belong in anymore. How would it feel to be ignored by 95% (that is probably a very low figure) of the people you come in contact with? Could you imagine seeing the people you love every day knowing they can’t hear or see or feel you? What about those that wander around for all eternity looking for someone? Or constantly trying to get people out of your house because you don’t know you’re dead? What about reliving something awful over and over and over and over? Or knowing you need/want/ belong somewhere else and you can’t remember how to get there or where it is? Or that everywhere you go (and you can go everywhere) you are either exploited or rejected (ugh, running away from them or screaming at them to get out and/or banishing them does constitute as rejection.) And what about just trying to get some ones attention that they react by being terrified of you?
(You have to wonder if they are all thinking, “Why do they keep turning on all the lights?” or “What’s that awful smelly stuff they always burn?”)
It’s simple. Be kind; Be tolerant; Help them.
Be nice person, they’ll thank you for it.
And you’ll feel good about your experience with a ghost, you’ll trade that scared, fearful feeling for one of love and healing. Can’t beat that, can you?
