What is the difference between a ghost and a spirit?
A ghost is the essence of a person who has died, but has not yet gone through the Light and completely crossed to The Other Side. A spirit is the essence which has crossed to The Other Side. On this side, we are “souls,” on The Other Side, we are “spirits.”
According to psychics, it is possible for ghosts to hang around Earth. Usually, they do this by choice. They are not stuck. Ghosts may have had strong attachments to people or places. They may not be dealing well with the things they did on Earth and they may have unresolved issues. They may fear ending up in Hell.
It is also possible that ghosts don’t want to go to The Other Side because there is a person here who is longing for them to stay. A living person’s grief can hold someone back. The ghosts don’t know what will happen once they cross over and they wonder if they can be closer to the living person if they stay here on Earth.
One psychic commented that ghosts are often very-religious people who don’t know where they are supposed to go when they pass. They don’t think they deserve to go to Hell, but they also don’t think they deserve to go to Heaven. They think those are the only choices, so they don’t know what to do. They need to go towards the Light.
In some cases, people who have died under surprising or traumatic circumstances, don’t know they are dead. They are not sure what to do or where to go. Angels and entities on The Other Side search for these souls and shine a white light. It’s smart to follow the light.
Sometimes spirits hang around Earth because they miss it and they miss their loved ones. The grieving is on both sides. Even though they are in a positive atmosphere, when they come back and re-connect with loved ones, they realize how much they miss them and they want to continue hanging around.
Do psychics see ghosts and spirits?
Many psychics have seen ghosts. In some cases, this was the first clue that they were psychic; that they were different from other people.
As a young woman, one psychic moved in with a family who lived in a mortuary. She reported that there were bodies laid out in caskets in the living room. Spirits would walk up, look at the bodies, and walk away. It was her first experience with the deceased checking themselves out in the casket.
Another psychic had this experience as a child:
“My grandfather came to me after he had passed away. That was my first experience with The Other Side. I was about eight years old when he came and sat on the corner of my bed. I still remember it. I had a conversation with him. This was about three days after he had passed away. He came and sat on the corner of my bed and I felt him sit down. I opened my eyes and it was my grandfather. In fact, all of my relatives have come to visit me after they have passed. It’s like having a normal conversation with them.”
Here is another “ghost” story:
“When my ex-husband’s brother Vinnie died, I woke up at about 5:30 a.m. and felt him standing next to my bed. He had died in a trailer fire that night, but I hadn’t yet heard about it. I felt someone standing next to me all night. The phone rang around 7 a.m. and they told me that Vinnie had died. His ghost stayed in our house for about two weeks and I would see him standing around and walking down the hallway. At night, he would stand next to my bed and want me to astral travel with him. He talked to me. I started praying that he would go into the Light and after about two weeks, that is what he did.”
Sometimes, spirits who have crossed over are able to help us through difficult times. Here is one psychic’s story:
“When I was going through my divorce, my ex-husband and I lived on opposite sides of our house for a year until the divorce went through. His whole family lived in town, and I didn’t have any family in the area so I asked my grandfather who had passed away if he could come down and help me. Immediately, I felt him standing next to me. The next day, a videographer came over and told me that, in addition to photography, he also did readings. He asked if I wanted a reading. He told me that my grandfather was there and that he was protecting me with shields all around my body.
“At times, I could feel my grandfather standing next to my bed. When I went to my car, he would come with me and sit down next to me. I could see the seat sink down.
After the divorce: “When I was settled, I thanked my grandfather for helping me and I told him that my brother had cancer and I asked that he go help my brother. After that, I didn’t feel him around any more. About a month later, I went to one of my spiritual teachers for a reading and I asked if she saw my grandfather. She didn’t know if he was alive or dead, but she responded, ‘Oh yes. He’s in Heaven. He was helping you for a while, through your divorce, but now he is helping your brother.’”
One psychic told me that sometimes she sees little kid energy dashing by. It looks like white flashes.
Is it frightening to see a ghost?
One of the psychics told me that seeing ghosts can be scary because it is so unexpected. Most of the time there isn’t anything to be afraid of, but it is surprising to wake up and find ghosts looking at her. Occasionally, there are scary-looking ghosts, but most psychics are able to limit what they see, and choose not to see such frightening sights.
The psychic who, as a small child, saw her grandfather wasn’t frightened at all. She said it was just like seeing him in real life.
