MYTH: Only those that believe in ghosts will see them.

TRUTH: Being able to detect the presence of ghosts is like tuning to the right radio station by finding the correct frequency. Some people are more sensitive than others at picking up these frequencies. Children, because of their general willingness to be open, traverse through many different frequencies, and are much more likely to pick them up. Mildly sensitive people who do not believe in spirits will often ignore repeated attempts to contact them, treating unexplained incidents as imagination or another equally "rational" explanation. In one class, we asked if anyone had lived in a haunted house. When a 13 year old girl raised a hand, her mother looked startled. Their previous house had been haunted and all the things the daughter pointed out were things the mother remembered but had just rationalized away. In retrospect, the mother agreed that they had lived in a haunted house. She realized she had seen all the evidence of the ghost but at the time simply did not want to believe that ghosts existed.

Many fallacies and myths exist about the nature of ghosts, some that we have covered here. Do not believe all the stereotypes. If a ghost is drawn to communicate with you it may be because you shared the lifetime within which that spirit became trapped. You passed on and reincarnated, but they did not. Whatever the case, remember that ghosts are merely souls that are trapped on this side. They need our love, support and healing so that they can look to the other side and travel to the light.
