Ghost
While they can be beneficial, negative, or neutral, ghosts—the spirits of dead people—are often tragic. Ghosts often haunt a location or someone living, and they sometimes appear as a warning. But mostly ghosts are harmless beings that would no more hurt a human than a teddy bear could hurt a fly. Ghosts can also be invoked to help the living, sometimes with mixed results.
In the late 19th century, the Paiute Indians of North America practiced a ghost dance, including trances, lasting five days. Believing it would stop the westward expansion of white settlers other tribes adopted the ghost dance. Just before their tragic 1890 battle with the U.S. cavalry at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, Sioux warriors performed the ceremony, and entered battle wearing ghost shirts to protect them against bullets. Nonetheless, they died by the score.
Other western ghosts populate "ghost towns," once-thriving communities that have been abandoned by the living. Virginia City, Nevada; Silver City, Idaho; and St. Elmo, Colorado are famous towns where the inhabitants are all ghosts busily maintaining the traditions of a happier time.
There are also many different kinds of ghosts. Some are just called ghosts, others are called spirits, beings, and in one instance deities. The mischievous ones that can move and throw things are usually known as Poltergeists. Some people even make a living out of searching for the supernatural, ghosts in particular. And some even find proof, but it is up to us, as the third party viewer to decide what we believe in.
*Some of these pictures are obviously fake, others well, you can decide for yourself.* ^

I have a spirit haunting me . . . it's been around for a few years, but now it's getting out of hand. It's a black cat with no eyes. Just two black wholes. It likes to stare at me when I'm trying to sleep. If I don't look at it, the stupid thing will come over to me and sit on me. The other night I was lying in bed when it was sitting on me, but it was looking at something else. As I fallowed it's gaze, something dropped from my celling, I couldn't believe it! It looked like a human figure, crouching down. Then it stood up, I could see thru it, there was NO detail to it. The thing had a white outline, that's the only way I could tell that it was a human-like figure. I just shut my eyes and pulled the covers over my head. I have a bible by my bed, but I was too scared to do anything. Then I felt the weight of the cat lift and I haven't seen it since.

ghosts could be a number of things, you casn manifest one created entirly of your hate and anger and depresion. these ghosts are called poltirgiests and can be a big problem. They throw things and cause general destructions. Then there are demons; these are beings that have escaped from hell. the only way to get rid of them is to burn their bones, they generaly scratch, in threes, growl and ssault their person. Some ghosts are awoken by a disturbance, changes in the place they died and dont really do much. Then there are ghosts who have unfinished buissness on earth and stay, these often are the most friendly. They can be mean it depends on their life on earth... if you have any questions or storys please write me at PenguinsREatingMySis@Yahoo.com

I've had a ghost or two push me in to things when they didn't like what I was doing. In a old house I lived in when i was I was in high school had them too. In my mothers bedroom you could hear men yelling and a women crying. Then when you would walk in to the room it would go quiet and you would smell cigar smoke. Sometimes you can her the women yell out no and if the men where raping her. Also when my mother was up set, the doors to the bathroom and game room would fly open on their own.
