i always wanted to see a ghost, but they do not seem to want to come to me, even though i would love to meat one and help them if they need it, but yet, they come to my sister who is scaired of them, and does not want to help them. i do not understand it. someone that tryes to help them they do not want to show them selves to, but my sister has seen atleast three ghost according to her. why might ghosts not want to visit me?

First, try to explain to her that most ghosts are not mean. Not at all like the ones on TV. Second, don't try too hard to see the ghosts...you'll never see them. I generally see them out of the corner of my eye, but only when I am fairly clear in my mind, or when I am focused on something. Spirits tend to be near electrical items, computers, TVs, phones, etc. Try reading a couple of Sylvia Browne's books. They aren't that bad from what I've heard, and if you get the Montel William's show, she's on there fairly regularly.

Basically, meditation is the base of everything metaphysical. you must clear your mind for anything to really be able to come through. Next time your sister says she is seeing a ghost, try to make yourself open, and welcoming to the ghosts. They probably won't answer you right away, but this will let them know that you are here to help them. This could take quite a while, but if it seems like it will never happen, that is ok. Some people just don't have that ability. We are all different and each have our own abilities. This could be your sister's and hopefully she will learn to like the ghosts more.

Also, try to use some of the shielding techniques that Indigo Sky has talked about. Help your sister do them as well and see if they don't help her relax. Generally, the easiest form of shielding is visualizing a protective white light around youself.

I don't know if people are just inactive (I know a few are gone for a short while), but I am going to move this here again for a bit. I'll leave it here for about a week and then I'll move it back, OK cool m?

A few people are gone for a short while. And we have about 11 pages of members( about 187 users), but only about 6 or so are active. (and among those approximately 6 people, a couple of us are out of town, or have work all day, or school all day, so we get home and are dead tired. So that would put it down to about 3 people who are active daily? so..its slow going right now.)

Hey sorry for the delay
I've been doing a bunch of over time at work because of various flu bugs and viruses affecting both the staff and residents. So I've been coming home just wiped and not wanting to do much but relax before bed. burning_eyes

Trust me when I say that most people have seen a ghost, but may just not be aware of it. and yeah ghosts may be a bit freaky at times, but there is really nothing they can do to cause harm.

Anyway, Not all ghosts want to be helped or even need it. Some just want to stick around while they wait and watch over loved ones, while others either are unaware that they are dead, or don't want to admit it.

The ones who look for help are those who feel guilty about something or unfulfilled.

As for reasons why one person might see a ghost while another doesn't depends on the person. Most of the time ghosts are seen using periferal vision (corner of your eye), not direct line of sight. And quite often for those who don't know what to look for it may be shrugged off as an optical illusion. Look for slight movements of shadows and light, little balls and silhouettes of various colours and sizes.

There are those who can see them with direct vision (not in meditations), but I'm not fully familiar with how it works. Things to keep an eye out for are slight changes in light and shadows as if trying to look through waxed paper or fog when there is none, little sparks of light or darkness that were not created by banging your head off something or any type of pain and dizziness.


Hope this helps a bit
Take care heart

I am also sorry it took so long for a reply cool m, I've been a bit of a train wreck of late so I've only been able to handle the most insignificant tasks. But I would have to agree, I've only seen them with periferal vision as well, and usually its when I'm somewhere between the world of the waking and that of sleep.

In my experience I've never known the ghosts to be overtly violent, and in most cases rather harmless, just a bit unnerving. Personally I think seeking them out makes them all the more elusive.

Hope this helps a bit. i thought that that was the case with ghosts, that they cant cause harm!
Take care heart


the flu sure is a problem. i just got rid of it myself. it is just that, my grandmother, who is dead, came to my dad in a dream and said everything would be alright with him, the day before he went into the hospital with no pulse. my dad kept remembering the dream, and that is what saved his life. his mother saved his life! then there is my sister, a ghost came to her in the night, and said help me, well if it needs help, why doesn't it come to me, who wants to help it? so what i am trying to say is that alot of my family has seen/ heard from ghosts, but me who wants to, isn't. lol! my sister saw her ghost in a mirror, and my dads life was saved because his mother came to him in a dream. are either of those periferal vision, i am not sure? well i have seen a light on the seeling in my house, but i have been told it is not a ghost, it is just light. i do not know when it is a ghost, or when it is not. i want to see one badly. i do not know why, something is just drawing me too it, just like something is drawing me to psychic abilities, which i am also struggling with, but am still working on. it definately helped alot, thanks, and i am sorry i could not respond to this sooner.

it is alright, i understand that everyone has things that they have to do, and then there is gaia, which everyone has to do second, or third, etc. oh, thanks for the information. i guess it is the same as with psychic ability. i used to be able to use them, but i do not know how i used to use them. if i knew, i would repeat the behavior, and hopefully be able to use them at will.

The reason the spirit went to your sister and not you could be because it was a spirit more her age, or one that only your sister would be able to help.

Your dad's case is a little bit different. In this case, his mother was letting him know he was alright. This is what you would call a guardian angel. We have LOTs of them. They come and go as they have things to do, and they watch other people.

Neither of those are peripheral vision. Peripheral vision is just something at the corner of your eye. Look straight ahead, stick a finger up in front of your face, then without moving your eyes, move your finger to either side of your head. The point were you can just barely see your finger is the extent of your peripheral vision. Vision doctors test this as well as regular doctors during physicals.

i just asked my sister, she said that the ghost was around her age, possibly a little older. i never thought of that. it could be that only my sister can help the ghost, but she has never seen the ghost again. i thought that guardian angels were never people. i thought i was told that. oh, alright, thanks for the information.

You might have been thinking of a spirit guide. those tend to be animals (sometimes people...and sometimes both!) We've got SO many guides and guardians its amazing!

Guides are slightly different than ghosts

Guides are here to assist us as much as they can
(Like your Grandma helping to keep your Dad alive). They come in many forms and that depends on their relation to you, in this life or the past, what you are more comfortable with and suits the guides purpose and direction they have come to offer. So they can be person, critter (including bugs), object or thing.

Ghosts can be helpful, at times, especially if they think it will benifit them in some way, but usually they are more concerned about their issues than anything else. (the one that visited your sister)
