I am kinda interested in ghosts and I have heard a lot of really useful tips about ghosts that may help some of you or at least be useful bits of knowledge.
1. Ghosts can't really hurt you. They can mess with a lot of your stuff, do some pretty freaky stuff, but when it comes to actually causing harm, they can't really do it. And even the stories you hear about them hitting people etc.... it takes A LOT of energy for them to do that and is very very rare and it's usually something that isn't a "ghost". Don't worry, more than likely they are just letting you know they are there. If you don't mind that they are there, just do like some other ppl on here have said and say "hi" or whatever to let them know you know they're around. Usually they are pretty lonely (you think about living eternity alone in one place; you'd wanna make a racket too!) or are looking to send a msg of some kind, sometimes that they need to send to"cross over". If they aren't so nice, you can be firm with them and it usually works to make them stop pestering you. You can be like "Look, my sisters/brothers and I live here now and we are ok with you being here, but you have to stop busting open our doors at night/banging things/moving stuff etc... and we'd like you to stop" or if you want them to go, you can ask them to leave. This is much harder to do, but just keep telling them that this is your house now and they need to move on and "go to the light"(sound familiar, Carol-Anne???). They'll usually eventually listen, but things might happen right after b/c they are kinda annoyed that you are telling them to go. Ghosts like to play tricks a lot and move things, thats why the ring got misplaced for 3 weeks. If that happens and you suspect its a ghost just ask for it back, it'll usually come back within a day; sometimes within minutes. Ghosts are usually pretty easy to live with once you kinda understand that they are part of the house and might not be able to leave and you are gonna be stuck with them for a while and that it's your house and sometimes you have to be firm with them. A good way to get a pic of them btw. TV's frequently capture pics of ghosts. With the TV turned off, take a pic of it. You can ask the ghost to show itself in the TV too, sometimes they will do that but sometimes they are shy too so you may get good footage by going quickly. Also, if you have a "hot spot" for activity, put up a video camera for a few days, you might see them on there too. A really good website to check out ghost pics is ghoststudy.com There are some seriously freaky pics and stories on there. Oh and for those of you that are using Ouija boards to contact your spirits, BURN THEM!!! They are bad bad bad bad stuff. Black magic AND remember that when you open a door like that, you don't know who is coming in or out. Be careful everyone and I hope this helps ya get along with the spooks of your house! Oh and for the ASA girl, you guys should do an initiation just for her; it may put her soul to rest, or at least she'll be a much happier ghost-pledge
