Is Your Glo House Haunted

[bgsarah]

I agree wholeheartedly with nearly everything KateyAlphaGam said.

EXCEPT:

I would never ever ever talk to it. Because even if you think the ghost is good, there really isn't a way to tell. And there's nothing stopping a formerly "good' ghost from gettin pissed off and wanting to be mean.
[edited to add:] telling it to leave is ok, just like she said above. be firm, but not forceful because while you think the ghost is intruding on your space, the ghost thinks YOU are.

Otherwise, yeah. The really are just lonely. I have several in my house. My mom and I make it a game to try to figure out who they are. We've done it successfully twice and as soon as we figured the first one out, he left. He just wanted to be remembered!
The second we can't get to leave because it's a cat and obviously cats don't understand English.

our house was built for us in 1929- and our house mother from 1932 or so to 1965 died in 1981- and apparently Mother B haunts our house- a lot of times if you are upstairs by yourselfon the 2nd- 3rd floor and if there are boys in there with you- some creepy stuff happens- my great grandma said that she was up there messing around with this guy- and pictures started flying off the walls- another time- we were having a small party in our basement and one of my sisters went to go to the bathroom on the 1st floor- and she passed through the first set of double doors- but kicked one of our composites that was on the floor by accident (we're redoing our house) and as she was walking into the bathroom- the library doors that are directly across from her slammed shut and then when she was in there- they did it again- she came down all freaked out- we treid to hold somne seances but i don't know how successful they are- i try not to screw around with it anymore atleast...... our alumni are up at the hosue this summer and a lot of them have said that lights would get turned off in the middle of the night by themselves- and that stuff like carpets would get rolled up by themselves when nobody else was in the house- idk weird-

Addressing a ghost doesn't hurt anything. The part where you run into trouble is asking it to "show itself"...that's like giving an open invitation for it to wreak havoc. Just don't.

And the thing about the Ouija board...the boards themselves are not dangerous. They are just pieces of wood or plastic or whatever they happen to be made of. Ouija boards only become dangerous when people get careless in using them as a medium to reach spirits. Normally, the boards can be used safely IF you are careful...that means no asking to spirits to show themselves, no inviting spirits to "give a sign" as to whether they're there, and always moving the planchette to "Goodbye" when you are finished using the board. Supposedly, not doing so can allow the spirit to stick around.

well, I meant more in the context of carrying on a conversation with it. Like, I don't think saying "Hi" every once in a while to let the spirit know that you remember it is necessarily a bad thing, but I'm talking about like.. asking it do things.

And on the subject of Ouija boards, I've heard that you should keep the board and the eye separate?

You heard that from me sweetie! LOL I still don't understand how they work! LOL

[Katey Alpha Gam]

I have heard about keeping them seperate, but also, sometimes I know they have decided for themselves how they want to be kept. My cousin had one and she had all the pieces together and in the box. Put it under her bed, never moved it for a few years and then one day when she was moving she opened it and the planchette was gone! Nobody else even knew she had one or where she kept it!
If you want to use a medium board like an Ouija, I have what is called Psychic Circle. It's like an Ouija Board but much more in depth, it has a lot of different spots on the board including planet signs etc... I feel much better using it. Along with it comes a book with chants you are supposed to say before you use it so that you are inviting goodness into the circle and also asking for protection. It also suggests (which is a good idea whenever you are doing something like this) to place white candles around the board as a circle of white light and protection. You can't garuntee it's not going to bring in some mischief, but if you are careful and really aware of what you are doing and how to best use it, you should be ok. I've used mine a lot and I've never had any problems. Also, when ending I've always been told to not only say goodbye but also Amen 3 times and flip the board and tap it. Thats not in the book and I dunno if thats an old wives tale, but thats what I've heard and I do it now.

Ok, so I learned the whole Donna story. Donna was a pledge in 1971. On her way to initiation, she crashed into a tree and died. So, she hangs around, waiting to be initiated.
