| It's the time of spirits and ghouls, and haunted house stories. Gather round and let's talk about the lady who haunts the third floor, we know she was murdered and died a horrible death in the 1800's and now she roams the halls seeking revenge.
Sound familiar? Or how about this one?
"I know I have a ghost, I've seen him, he's a Scottish highlander, at first he scared me and now I think it's kind of cool to have a ghost around. He's not hurting anyone so we let him stay."
Here's my favorite scenario.
The phone rings at ghost hunting command station.
A volunteer answers the phone, "Hello, ghost hunters, you hear em we scare um. How can I help?"
Caller replies, " We have a ghost, he's wrecking havoc on our lives, he touches us, moves things, throws books at us, we're scared, come save us now."
Volunteer, " Absolutely, we'll be right over with our truck load of equipment, we'll set up fancy cameras, and voice recorders, maybe some infra red stuff that looks really cool. We'll call that ghost out, we'll anger him by calling him names, and we'll take pictures and document our findings. Then we'll pack up and go home slapping each other on the back because we have good data."
Caller, "Sounds great but wait, how does that help us with the ghost activity?"
Volunteer, "Well, it doesn't but our documentation will look cool on TV, the Internet or wherever else we can post our findings to prove we are good ghost hunters."
More often the outlined conversation with ghost hunting command station is what happens to people seeking help with ghost activity. People find someone to document the activity but not to help with the release of the trapped ghost.
Maybe the caller finds someone to bless the house that chases the ghost away. Unfortunately, the ghost will come back and the ghost is upset and things really start to fly.
Think of it this way, ghosts are people without bodies, they are trapped between realities. All of a sudden they become aware of you, they know you are aware of them. Yet, you do nothing to help them. It's like the plane that flies over the island every day and waves at those stranded without sending a means of rescue.
In the case of ghost activity, the means of rescue is compassionate spirit release. A simple procedure where the spirit - dead person without a body, is taken by loved ones and beings he or she trusts to the next level where they can be more than they are trapped at your house, or the haunted mansion.
The next time you hear a story of ghost activity, think compassion, release the trapped person, it's the kind thing to do.
