My answer to - Why Do Ghosts Exist?
There can be lot of answers to the question why do ghosts exist and it really depends on the ghost and the situation. Each ghost has its own reasons for staying in the living realm, or coming back to it.
There is a theory that in order for a ghost to haunt they had to have died violently, with great fear or with a lot of hate, or another strong emotion. It's believed that a strong emotion binds the ghost and doesn't allow it to move on even if it wants to leave.
This is not entirely true. Although a strong emotion can be a reason for a haunting, as well as imprinting on a place, it isn't the only answer to why do ghosts exist.
Ghosts have an endless number of reasons for a visitation or a haunting. The reasons usually boil down to whatever the ghost feels is important - and that can be just about anything.
- A ghost may be restless and attached to someone, something, or a place, and simply doesn't want to leave.
- Ghosts may have set themselves as the guardians of certain people, usually loved ones and want to check up on them, perhaps get a message to them.
- Some may not be aware that their time is over – perhaps they don't realize they are dead.
- It can also be that ghosts have a task to complete before they can move on.
- There are also stories where a ghost is 'bound' to a location, either by their own design – they don't think they can leave and are therefore stuck, or they have been bound by other means.
Truly, why do ghosts exist can be answered with endless reasons as each ghost and haunting is unique. So the cause of a haunting can be something very simple, or extremely complicated, depending on the ghost.
They should have a certain place.
That sentiment is shared by a lot of people.
Many people fear ghosts and therefore believe they shouldn't be allowed among the living. They had their time and now they should move on to a special place and stay there.
People fear what they don't understand. A ghost is someone who has died and has returned to the living plane. It scares us to think that something could break through that barrier. If they can do that, what else are they capable of? And at its base that is what we fear about ghosts and visitations, what they will do to us.
Most visitations, however, are friendly or neutral to us, sometimes even helpful and we have no cause to be afraid at all.
Usually if you can find out the specific reason for why do ghosts exist in the situation they, and you, are in, you may find you have no reason to fear the visitation and you can come to a good resolution for yourself, as well as for the ghost.
