Sometimes ghosts don't quite understand that their physical body is gone; it wasn't
really who they were anyway...all of us are spirits. Many times, ghosts may be afraid
to move on and into the light where a life review will occur, believing they may be
punished (such as in an eternal hell, which is a man-created idea...hell is a state of
mind, such as a person who has passed being afraid to move on toward the light) for
not being good enough while in the physical world. Or perhaps, they still enjoy the
people and places here on earth and don't want to leave; preferring to remain close to
those they know who are still in physical bodies. Some ghosts simply will not move on
due to former addictions, attachments, earthly pleasures, or what they deem as
"familiar." Ghosts can have unfinished business here on earth and may need help
getting a message across to someone, or an item found that was hidden by them.
Keep in mind that a few ghosts can be very negative; while other spirits may just be
visiting and have positive feelings and even messages for us - e.g. loved ones, spirit
guides and angels. Remain open-minded, trying to understand what the ghost may
be trying to communicate with you. Maybe then, you can help the troubled spirit move
forward in life and out of a self-created prison called hell. Read: Spirit Rescue
This may sound shocking, but ghosts can possess people. Some mistake this for
demons, but it is really dis-embodied human spirits co-inhabiting another's physical
body. These sometimes tend to be spirits addicted to earthly pleasures. Those
possessed tend to be spiritually dead, with all focus being outwardly. Marked signs
are personality changes, addictions, depression, etc could point to one or more
possessing spirits. This is not to say that all addictions, depressions and mental
illnesses are caused by ghost possession.
