​Ghost! Say the word and images of Halloween terror movies or TV paranormal investigators come to mind. The former have little to do with the actual state of being that a ghost is, and the latter may detect ghosts for entertainment purposes, but then do not clear the area of this energy. A ghost is an imprint or an echo of a spirit left in a location that either they enjoyed in life or was the scene of its body’s passing from this plane. Ghosts normally repeat a pattern of behavior, like a video loop. They do not communicate as a spirit would. If you try to engage them in conversation, they do not respond to you, but rather may make unintelligible sounds, words, or phrases that express no obvious meaning. Ghosts are usually easily removed from a space by cleansing the area with sage, lighting white candles, utilizing the energy of clear quartz crystals, and, simply, asking the ghost to leave the area. Most times, this dissipates the energy, and a sense of peace and calm is left in the area cleansed. During an investigation I took part in with Ed and Lorraine Warren, the well-known paranormal investigators, we detected the ghosts of six female students and a janitor whose spirits passed during a fire at the Fredonia Normal School in the early 1900s. After noting their presence, we said prayers and released the ghosts from the area. Ghosts are different than spirits who are trapped on this side for one reason or another. Those spirits need to be released and helped to go to the other side to rejoin their soul group and get on with their lives.

When we arrive on the other side, we normally look like we did during our last days on earth, albeit, healthier and happier. As time goes on, we learn that we can change our appearance at will to one more to our liking. During one reading, the sitter’s grandmother came in from the other side, looking much as she did in the last days of her physical plane life and I described what I saw. Yes, the sitter affirmed, that was what her grandmother looked like. Then the grandmother changed her appearance to that of a girl of about 12 years old with her hair in braids. The sitter, surprised, again said yes, that is exactly how she looked in a photo she had of her. Finally, the grandmother shrugged and smiled and transformed her appearance to that of a fairly pretty woman of about 25 years of age as she said she liked this look best of all. Since the physical look of those in spirit is by their choice, they can, after confirming their presence through recognition of the loved one, change to a time when they believe they looked better. In truth, spirit, whether in or out of a body, is a light body, differentiated by a distinctive vibration, existing within the Oneness of the universe.

There are some people who do not know they are “dead.” These include those who died suddenly and remain in a state of confusion for a brief period of time. Healer spirits on the other side tend to them until they are ready to awaken to their new surroundings. There are other people who accept that their situation has changed, but they are waiting for some sign or a greeting from some being, which their earth-based religion had taught them to be ready to see when they departed the earth plane. As a psychic medium, I have encountered a sitter’s loved one kneeling in prayer on the other side, waiting to be officially welcomed. The sitter will in these cases acknowledge the loved one’s deeply held religious convictions. I can often see helper spirits, loved ones, and guides trying to rouse the focused spirit, and I can only hope, and believe, that eventually the spirit moves on to their new life.

Those without bodies do not consider themselves as being dead. They are still very much alive, just without the bodies we believe are the end all and be all of being. THIS is the transient experience. The other side is the real reality. This is the dream. I know this seems the primary reality, but it really truly isn't. This is a series of classrooms in a very large school. You don't stay in school forever. Eventually you graduate to the next level. Oh! Did you forget something, not learn something completely? You come back for more lessons until you fully learn what you need to know.
