			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why won&#8217;t ghost go away? That&#8217;s an excellent question. But the only way to answer that question is to ask the ghost or to become a ghost and find out first hand. If you ask 100 different paranormal investigators or ghost hunters, you will get at least 100 different answers as to why ghost won&#8217;t go away.</p>
<p>First we need to understand the theories behind ghost and why they remain and why some of them are never seen or heard from again.</p>
<p>The theories cover a wide range of topics and any paranormal investigator can make their theory fit the reasonable explanation they have come up with.<span id="more-58"></span></p>
<p>For those of us that believe in ghosts and spirits, we understand that most theories revolve around the fact that the ghost may not realize they have passed and may have un-finished business on earth.</p>
<p>I know it sounds crazy, a ghost having unfinished business but in a lot of theories about ghosts this is one of the main reasons ghosts will hang around.</p>
<p>For example, at some locations that have had a lot of violent crimes (murder) ghost are more likely to remain in that location.</p>
<p>Most of the theories revolved around the person were killed before it was time to pass on to the afterlife. In some cases the ghost may or may not even realize they are now a ghost. Then of course if the ghost doesn&#8217;t realize they are deceased then it is likely they will remain on earth.</p>
<p>Some people have posted theories of ghost tend to hang out in an area where there are a lot of different emotions and energies. For example, when I first started ghost hunting I never realized how many public schools have reported paranormal activity. As I kept researching the activities at the schools on theory I kept running across was that there are so many students in a school every school day and with those students comes an over whelming amount of energy. With the energy will also come every possible emotion you could think of all combined into one location. Since the theories states ghosts need energy, what better place to get all the energy a ghost needed.</p>
<p>Another location that seemed to have a lot of activity has been hotel/motels. Once again this theory all points back to the number of people there in a days&#8217; time and all of energy and different emotional that all the people bring with them when they check in.</p>
<p>Now also with the hotel/motel hauntings, I have also read a lot of the hotels have been built on haunted grounds. The ghost may have nothing to do with the hotel at all but because this was the location of their death before the hotel was built, the ghost has decided to hang out and watch you check in. Hopefully you can check out.</p>
<p>Of course then we have a lot of other locations that report paranormal activity and this include battle fields. Not a lot of explanation should be needed for a battle field but just in case a lot of people all died before their time and now hang out at the place of their death.</p>
<p>One of the most common places for ghost to hang out has been reported to be&#8230;</p>
<p>Are you ready for this answer?</p>
<p>In their own home</p>
<p>Home hauntings are one of the most common places people report &#8220;paranormal activity&#8221;. Now of course a lot of cases of paranormal activity can be explained away by an over active imagination. For example hear scratching in the night, one case this turned out to be rats in the walls but still to this day the owners believe their house is haunted.</p>
<p>Why would ghost hang out at home? Well first I think we need to think about ghost and who they were in life. Where is the one place most people are most comfortable at? You got it, at home. So with this theory it would be a common ghost hang out.</p>
<p>Some theories also revolve around the ghost having unfinished business like I said before. For example if a person was murdered they may want to stay until the business is completed. Let&#8217;s they were in the process of having a baby, the ghost my hang out until the baby is born. Once that unfinished business is complete, they may feel free to leave.</p>
<p>Some theories revolve around ghost will remain as they were when they were human. Let&#8217;s say the husband was the protector of the family, he might hang out to make sure nothing happens to his family.</p>
<p>We have all heard reports of &#8220;I started to remodel and all of this activity started&#8221;. It is believed that ghost when they decide to stay home; they want to make sure nothing happens to their home. Just like when they were human.</p>
<p>One location that I investigated we had reported of remodeling taking place and one of the people working heard her name called and when she answered no one was there. She looked around everywhere and no one. Finally she started talking back to the ghost and the next thing she heard as he was getting ready to leave was looking good. The ghosts were happy with the cleanup and remodeling.</p>
<p>So to answer your question as to why ghost won&#8217;t go away, the answer is one we will likely never know for sure until we ourselves become a ghost.</p>
<p>There are many theories and most all revert back to the unfinished business or the ghost does not even realize they have died.</p>
<p>One thing for sure, regardless of why they remain on earth may never be known for a fact, but it sure makes for some interesting paranormal investigations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People fear the spirit world and unfamiliar things such as spirits, ghosts and unexpected sounds. Would you be terrified if confronted by an apparition?</p>
<p>Millions of people would answer yes to this question and to the possibility of something prancing out at them in the still darkness, but is this ghost representation accurate?</p>
<p>We have all heard the many stories of different encounters like the cold breeze that we feel across our neck when there are no windows opened in the house, or ghost-like apparitions either in photos or in person. Other episodes may include Ouija Board experiences when there is movement and spelling without any help on its own from possible ghosts, rocking chairs that rock with no one in them, along with numerous other spiritual encounters.<span id="more-52"></span></p>
<p>If these millions of stories are true and ghosts do exist, should we fear them?</p>
<p><strong>Reasons Why People Should Not Fear Ghosts</strong></p>
<p>In thousands of movies, ghosts and spirits cause harm to people and animals. They have incredible force and powers to control and attack individuals, but is this truth or fiction?</p>
<p>Thousands of investigations and case studies of the paranormal show the exact opposite to what popular movies and books want us to believe.</p>
<p>The following are five reasons why people should not be afraid of ghosts.</p>
<ol>
<li>Paranormal investigations indicate that ghosts do not harm people.</li>
<li>Individuals do not change personalities after death.</li>
<li>Spirits of the dead are not vengeful.</li>
<li>Most ghost story telling consists of helpful encounters, such as when a ghost prevents someone from falling.</li>
<li>There has never been any documentation to show that ghosts hurt humans.</li>
</ol>
<p>Any type of evil manifestations that has surfaced from research noting demonic activities, have been linked not to ghosts or spirits, but to possible poltergeist activity. When people are attacked or objects are thrown by an unexplained force, it is usually believed to be that of a poltergeist such as the unconscious working of an actual human being who is not at peace.</p>
<p>We all have a spiritual being; does this mean then that we are all ghosts?</p>
<p>If you heard unexpected noises in the house, perhaps in an upstairs bedroom when no one else is supposed to be at home, would you not be reassured to find nothing or no one there, rather than some stranger?</p>
<p>People may well fear many humans rather than ghosts, as there is much more evidence of people being hurtful and dangerous than ghosts.</p>
<p>Perhaps people are afraid of what ghosts represent, and are afraid of the unknown.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With television shows like Ghost Hunters, UFO Hunters and even lighter shows such as the Ghost Whisperer there is a growing interest in amateurs wanting to take part in their own ghost hunting experiences. When you watch some of these television shows the professionals have thousands of dollars in sophisticated equipment to help them track down their ghosts and spirits. It can be a little overwhelming but rest assured, you don&#8217;t need all of the high tech gadgets they use to become an amateur ghost hunter.</p>
<p>Many years ago in University as part of an anthropology course I attended a &#8220;ghost&#8221; tour of our downtown area. There were many old buildings that had associated ghost stories that I had never heard of and I have lived here my whole life. If there are lots of ghost stories in my small town you can bet there are a few ghost hunting groups and books written about those ghosts.<span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p>If you want to start ghost hunting look to join a local group. You can find them via the Internet, a local College or University or even at your local Library. I bet you will be surprised how many there are. Research them each out carefully and even attend a couple meetings to find which one is right for you.</p>
<p>Do some research on local ghosts and legends. You will need to familiarize yourself with the stories and legends of ghosts in your area. If you live in a small community the internet may not be the best for you but a trip to your local library or university library should have exactly what you are looking for.</p>
<p>Use the internet and read up on ghosts, spirits and the paranormal. You have to learn the techniques ghost hunters use, learn the language they use and learn how to investigate ghost stories.</p>
<p>You will need some basic equipment to get started but it&#8217;s nothing that most of us already have in our possession. Take along a flashlight, digital camera, laptop computer and a tape recorder or recording device. Your laptop can do the latter for you. Also bring along a witness so they can back your story up if and when you do have an experience.</p>
<p>Have fun and don&#8217;t get discouraged. Not every fisherman catches a fish every time the go out.</p>
