Compiled Opinions About Ghost Presence.
After my previous article, “Why Most of Us Don’t See Ghosts” I find it fitting to follow up with another sequel since ghost stories are dreadful subjects when you’re alone but an exciting topic for dialogue when you’re with a companion. So be sure you’re with somebody when you read this article. I mean somebody alive, not the one just standing there beside you but you can’t see and talk (kidding). It’s a matter of how we see it really, although I’m faint hearted myself. Fear of ghosts could be compared to a person who doesn’t know what a mirror is. Seeing one, he was amazed with a shiny piece of ‘metallic’ rectangular thing with wooden frame at the sides. He took it and stared at it in close range and saw himself. Seeing his shocked face reflected he panicked and was overcome by dread.
As of 20 October 2009 (2 days ago) the world population was estimated by the United States Census Bureau at 6.792 billion (Wikipedia). If we should think about the beginning of civilization to the present with varied estimate of how old is our planet, you just have to imagine how many ghosts we could get. If you have watched “Lord of the Rings” at that part where Aragorn summoned the ghosts of dead knights to take part in the battle against the Dark Lord Sauron, perhaps you could multiply that a hundred times and you have the estimated number of ghosts in the world to date. So if you’re afraid of ghosts, you’re simply out of place.
The Portal– We may compare this from a science fiction concept of wormholes. Certain areas around our physical plane of being exhibits certain abnormality which serves as an entry point to another world, another plane of existence or a different place in the same physical plane. Like a door, you may pass through it and arrive at another place. Psychics believe that ghosts who are often seen on a particular area maybe simply passing by from the spirit world. This “door” doesn’t apply to ghosts alone but other creatures. We may have fairies, gnomes, trolls, elves whatever. An old tree along the curve of a road maybe more than a tree, your basement maybe an outlet to another world, that old painting on the wall may extend back to another horizon; that mirror…well, just be sure it’s your face showing up. There are infinite possibilities as to how these portals may appear before our eyes. Back in our old house when I was a child, we often heard strange footsteps on the staircase before gentle knocks on the door would follow; when my aunt opened up to welcome the would-be visitor, there would be nobody outside. At one time my older cousin lost sight of me while playing near the door and after looking for hours, she told my mom I just suddenly popped out in the same spot later. Only when we did have our house renovated and allowed a psychic bless it with a priest then we were informed by the former that our door was aligned to a “busy street” where ghosts and other creatures pass through. Well as a child, I had a vague recollection of where I’ve gone during my disappearance.
