Have you felt the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and a cold breeze sweep by you?
Maybe it’s your imagination running wild after watching a spooky story on the tube or is there someone or something haunting you?
Since the ghost no longer has a physical body, the form he /she tries to make, of their earthly shape, will look distorted and sometimes scary.
My last sighting of an unusual entity was this tree nature spirit. if you look closely at the circle on the birch, there is a face watching from the circle on the tree.
The tree is along my friend’s driveway and seems to watch all who leave her home.
Of course the nature spirit is not the same as a haunting ghost who may be scaring the bejeezus out of you but it is an example of another type of spirit that connect us to the Faerie Realm, a parallel dimension.
Trees have a close relationship with humans and can keep us grounded. They can transmute our negative energies and help us heal. Meditating beside one with a known tree spirit can be especially helpful in dispelling negative energies.
Now back to the ghosts....
When I was a youngster...eons before internet and cellphones, sitting around the old wood stove in the winter and telling ghost stories was a favourite pastime. This was usually at my grandmother’s home. She had the scariest tales of ghostly apparitions appearing and causing havoc with the living.
After hearing these stories my feet never touched the ground as I ran like the wind the half a mile home. It was the countryside and luckily not much traffic. I travelled, full speed, mainly in the middle of the road in case something otherworldly grabbed at my leg from the ditch.
Grandmother was the bravest person. I was confident my dear grandmother would protect me against whatever threatened me. She always told me if I left the presence of a wild animal or ghost to starting singing at the top of my lungs.
“Make as much noise as you can, Joanna!”
Looking back I think she was a psychic with the ability to pierce the veil into the unseen world
My loss was great when Grandmother died when I was thirteen. After all these years her wise words still resound in my head.
“Memorize a mantra to say aloud when afraid”...
”By all my good thoughts and the power invested in me, I ask the universe to remove all negative energy from my presence and fill the space with love.”
Every spring she would put salt around the house and recite a prayer or mantra to keep negative energy away. Sometimes the prayer would be part of psalm 23:
“Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
Salt’s spiritual power is often underrated. Besides expelling negative vibrations, salt has been touted to heal, cleanse, and neutralizer.
Besides actually cleaning your house and keeping it free from clutter, the use of burning sage, or smudging, is another way to cleanse out negative energy.
Often ghosts are harmless. Sometimes it is a beloved deceased family member trying to reach you to let you know they have passed successfully into the next plane of existence.
If a person is killed suddenly they may not realize they are dead and they keep trying to reach out to familiar people, thus appearing in a ghostly form. Often a skilled medium can communicate and explain what has happened. This helps the deceased to move out of this dimension to the next level of existence.
Other times they appear to help you through certain hardships or because your grief holds them to the earth plane.
If you feel the haunting is from an evil source, call on your angels to also help dispel the entity.
