Ghosts

I believe in ghosts. I know I am a science fiction author, but Ghost stories always held a special place in my mind.

I believe there are three types of spirits sharing our world with us.

The first of these are the ones most people experience. Heavenly Father's children who are waiting to enter this world or just barely left are all around us. The Spirit World is here on this earth, separated from us by a thin veil, just keeping us from seeing it all the time. I believe these spirits are just visiting. They may not know they have passed, or they may just want to see what they have left behind. The personality they had on Earth follows them to the Spirit World. If they are angry, sad, happy or frightened, that energy follows them andbthat is the feelings they Before I became a teacher I worked as a certified nurses aide in nursing homes and hospitals. Being so centered around spirits just clinging to this world by a tenuous thread thinned out the veil and brought the spirit world close. I loved working nights at the nursing home. I used to walk down the halls and point to empty chairs and corners and describe the people there. Usually there were long time staff members who would then tell me the name of the person who had died anywhere from six months to many years before I ever started working there. One day I was walking down the hall checking rooms and I caught the glimpse of a woman standing at the foot of the bed. Thinking one of my very unsteady patients was out of bed, I immediately turned and entered the room. Both of women who occupied the room were in their beds, fast asleep. I described the woman to my coworkers and they were able to name a patient who had passed away six months before. It got to the point I would come out of a room smiling and all the other staff members would be waiting for me to describe who I had seen. I have many more stories like this and if you ask nicely I might tell you a few.

The next kind are the ones I don't like. These are souls who joined Lucifer when he was cast down from the Heavens. They were damned to wander the Earth without the chance to to gain a physical body. These spirits are desperate to have the opportunity to experience life as we do. When the scriptures talk about demonic possession these are the spirits mentioned. These spirits are pretenders. They can immitate spirits who have passed on. These are the demons who communicate through the summoning of spirits with tools like the ouji boards and tarot cards. I lived in an apartment that had been owned by people who used these type of devices. The spirit they had invited in to the apartment decided to stay after they left. It used to follow me around and watch me. One time he followed me into the bedroom. He was so close behind me I could feel the warmth of his energy heating up the back of my neck. I called upon the power of God and I felt a sudden wall of wind fly up behind me. I know I had an entire wall of angels standing between me and this spirit. A few days later I was standing at the top of the stairs preparing to descend when I felt a pair of hands thrust against my hips and I flew down three steps. I pulled a muscle in my leg and ended up having to call my dad to bring me to the hospital. I moved out of that apartment not long after that incident.

The final spirit is my favorite. These are the angels and spirits who perform the Lord's work. Angels are those who have already been born, lived their lives and passed on to the next life. They are about the Lord's work. These spirits are the guardian angels and messengers of the Lord. The other type of spirits have not been born yet and are working as messengers and guardians. They are the ones who whisper messages into our hearts and minds when they are needed. When my nephew was hit by a car he described spirits standing in the air above him. He said he now knew two things about angels: one, they did wear white robes and two, they didn't have wings. One day I was driving on the freeway to a friend's place in another town. My car had been acting up and he was going to repair it. My nephew was in the car with me and my mom and other nephew were following in a car behind me. I was passing a three tractor trailer semi truck and was near the cab when I saw his blinker go on. I had a sudden feeling he wasn't going to wait the required few seconds to pull into the next lane. I was in a tiny little Yugo and there was no way he could see me where I was. I laid on the horn and started shifting and slamming on the brake. I couldn't move very far because the center divider was a deep burrow pit and if I lost control I would have rolled the car. The entire time I had an overwhelming calm come over me. I suddenly felt the presence of two beings in the back seat of the car and hands on my shoulders. By the time the truck had moved into my lane I was hugging the edge of the road and the rear of the third trailer barely clipped my passenger side front fender. I was completely calm during the entire incident and knew I had placed mine and my nephew's lives in the hands of God. The guardian angels in the car had kept me calm enough to keep us safe. This is not the first time I have felt the energy of guardian angels in my life, nor will it be the last.

I know there are many skeptics out there. I also know there are people out there who will disagree with my theories. I'm fine with that. There are a few things in here that I know I believe and have seen with my own eyes. There are other ideas in here that are very much theory. I just like ghost stories so I decided to share a few things I experienced. If my readers share a few of their ghost stories I would love to share a few more of mine.(I have a lot of them). As long as your stories are clean and appropriate for all readers I would be happy to share them, real or fantasy. Oh, and by the way, these stories are as real as you want them to be. [image error]
