Re: Hauntings
That still isn't very convincing...who really says whether the soul has the *choice* not to move on? And a ghost finding Heaven in an earthly place? Heh, I dunno, all those descriptions of eternal bliss seem alot more appealing than remaining forever in a decrepit (sp?) old home...
Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone could share the Eastern perspective on haunting? I've always been curious as to whether one with belief in rebirth can accept the idea of ghosts and spirits... |

Re: Hauntings
Some theories I've read about hauntings suggest that they are essentially psychic recordings of strong emotions attached to a particular place. Some think that it might have something to do with there being an abundance in that location of mystical energies which make it easier for those psychic recordings to linger and get noticed by people who are sensitive.
That explanation means that the ghosts are not souls at all but impressions or shells of strong emotions. |
