Who are ghosts and apparitions? Do they exist or is it a figment of human imagination? It is known that legends about ghostly phantoms were especially widespread in the Middle Ages. It is also known that almost all medieval castles were notorious. There were rumors that ghosts lived there and disturbed the lives of the owners. What's really behind these rumors? Today there is documentary evidence that ghosts really exist.

By the way, ghosts and apparitions are synonyms, although experts argue that the word “ghost” has a narrower meaning and is characteristic of the rest human souls, and any phantom can be called a ghost.

It should be noted that in the Middle Ages, haunted castles were not something special. On the contrary, family estates, in which the spirits of ancestors lived, were considered beneficial for their owners. Most often, the spirits of suicides and those who died a violent death, as well as children, wandered through the castles. The living heard groans, tapping, laughter, observed the movement of objects, and saw human outlines. It is believed that ghosts freely pass through any objects and walls, since they are subtle-material entities. And in fact, according to eyewitnesses, these objects are most similar to holograms, white clots of energy.

Now there are hundreds of specialists in the world who call themselves ghost hunters. They are equipped with special equipment that allows them to see ghosts in rooms and on open space. Modern cameras with increased sensitivity are able to record the movement of these objects, since they pick up vibrations of the subtle world, invisible to us.

Why and where do ghosts appear most often?

What happens when a ghost appears in a house? The air becomes heavy, strange things begin to happen, objects and even people can disappear. There are ghosts who behave calmly and do not bother the living, but there are also those who are clearly trying to ruin people's lives.

Why is this happening? Apparently, every dead spirit has its own purpose on earth. Some come to their relatives in order to warn them of danger and thereby protect them from misfortune. Others appear to take revenge, to remind the living of the sins they have committed. As a rule, the restless souls of suicides, stuck between two worlds, wander around their former homes.

Psychics and mediums are convinced that the energy of ghosts is destructive for people, because ghosts are energy vampires who are fueled by the emotions of the living. This is especially true for ghosts of children.

Contacts with ghosts

Mediums call ghosts spirits and work with them on those subtle levels where these spirits are stuck. They conduct seances to find out what the uninvited guests really want.

In our world there are many magicians who call themselves the chosen ones due to the fact that they are able to communicate with dead spirits, whom they see without any devices. Spirits provide them with assistance and protection in matters of magic.

There is documentary evidence of successfully conducted spiritualistic seances. But here’s a fact: everyone participating in such sessions soon goes crazy or dies under unusual circumstances. According to mediums, this happens because when invading subtle worlds and establishing contacts with spirits, a person gives up part of his own energy, which means he becomes vulnerable to otherworldly reality.

Therefore, those who wish to make contact with spirits should first think very, very carefully. These entities themselves, with rare exceptions, cannot harm a living person, but the desire to visit the other world most often ends very badly. So is it worth the risk?..

Every day there are more and more signals from people that they have seen ghosts, and the images can be completely different. Some people just hear noise, others observe an incomprehensible glow, and some managed to meet quite real creature with clear outlines. You can find it online a large number of photographs in which you can see silhouettes or see an incomprehensible haze.
