I wanted to make this thread after an hour car ride with my boss, and 2 other people, who are very spiritual. Only one of them is very religious, but all 3 of them believe in spirits, ghosts, etc... For a solid half hour they all were explaining their ghost or spirit encounters, and I just say there biting my tongue the whole time. Ghost sighting stories usually aggrivate me because I believe the brain is very susceptible to hallucinations. I usually just interpret these stories as people's brians playing tricks on them, or people seeing what they want to see. I can let these go without getting too riled up. I start getting really on edge (for lack of a better term) when ghosts or spirits start manipulating the physical world.
My boss was the worst of them. She lives in a 200 year old home, and she says that in that time over 10 people have died in the house. Her encounters ranged from very subtle to really complex. As she got into the conversation, her stories got more and more intense, almost as if she was fueling her desire to make up a good story, but for the sake of argument we'll assume she was telling the truth.
*Some of her stories*
She started by saying that the ghosts prefer her basement. She has several of those light bulb fixtures on the ceiling with the pull chains that turn them on. She regularly finds the chains wrapped around the bottom of the light bulbs.
One time she was lying in bed and realized she didn't turn the bathroom light of. She got into a dispute with her husband about who should get up and turn it off. During their semi heated conversation, she claims a ghost did them both a favor and turned the light off.
Another story she had was a time where she had an injured back and was home alone. She was sleeping and got cold. Her pain was so bad she couldnt reach the extra blanket at the foot of her bed. A ghost took the blanket and pulled it over her, and then kissed her on the forehead.
I guess another time, she was sick and couldn't get out of bed to let her dog out. After a few minutes of her dog begging to go outside, the dog suddenly stopped whining. Next thing she knew, she heard her dog barking outside. She looked out the window, and there it was. By the time she got downstairs, the dog was back in the house, and the door was shut and locked behind it.
There was a time she heard on the radio while showering, that there were multiple robberies on the street her mother lived on. She frantically looked for her cellphone so she could call her mom. She looked everywhere and couldn't find it. She searched the living room high and low with no luck. After checking several other rooms, she returned to the living room. A deck of cards that were unopened, were now placed in a circular pattern on the center coffee table, with her phone in the middle.
*end stories*
Now, I don't believe for a second that any of these things happend. But I am going to pretend that they are all true and that spirits or ghosts can infact interact with physical objects. My question to everyone in the car was this... Why do the spirits only communicate with us through small acts? Why wouldn't they use their power to pick up a pencil and write us a note, or arrange the letter magnets on the fridge to spell things out? If I were a ghost, I feel like I would want to legitimately communicate with the living. Hell, I'd like to play a game of battleship or UNO every now and then.
