Ghosts and Haunted Houses

Much has been written about ghostly phenomena over the years, and despite countless investigations, debates continue regarding what actually occurs when a ghost is seen and whether any tangible, physical evidence truly exists.

Rather than attempting to prove or disprove the phenomenon through external validation alone, it can be more meaningful to speak from direct experience and informed interpretation.

From our perspective, and through the work we do, communication with non-physical consciousness is a regular and natural part of daily life. We communicate telepathically with our own spirit guides, beings who at one time inhabited physical human bodies and lived on this planet. Through those lifetimes, they gained direct experience of human existence and now assist in the ongoing evolution and understanding of humanity.

Based on this understanding, a typical ghost sighting is not the presence of a conscious, aware spirit attempting to communicate. Instead, it is best described as an energetic replay of a past event that has become imprinted into a specific location.

A commonly reported example is the sighting of a ghost walking through a wall. When examined more closely, this phenomenon becomes easier to explain. Buildings change over time, walls are added, removed, or repositioned as properties are renovated or repurposed. During the lifetime of the individual whose apparition is seen, the physical structure may have been very different. What appears today as a solid wall may once have been a doorway, hallway, or open space.

As a person repeatedly moved through that space during their life, their energetic signature became embedded within the environment. Over time, this repeated action created a kind of energetic imprint, absorbed into the fabric of the building itself. Under certain conditions, this imprint can be momentarily perceived.

These conditions are often linked to fluctuations in the surrounding energetic field, such as during a full moon, when electromagnetic and subtle energy patterns naturally shift. When these conditions align, a physical observer may briefly perceive this residual energy, witnessing what appears to be a discarnate figure walking through a solid structure. In reality, the observer is seeing a recording of the past, not an active spirit navigating the present.

These events are distinguishable from conscious spiritual interaction because they are entirely non-responsive. The apparition does not acknowledge the observer, does not deviate from its path, and does not react to external stimuli. The same sequence may repeat endlessly, sometimes witnessed by different people across generations, yet always unfolding in exactly the same way.

This explanation accounts for the majority of what are commonly referred to as ghost sightings. Importantly, these sightings should not be confused with hauntings or cases involving negative or disruptive unseen energies. Unlike residual ghost phenomena, such forces can interact with the living, influence emotional or physical states, and demonstrate awareness of their surroundings.

A ghost sighting, as described here, is benign. It is not conscious, not intentional, and not interactive. It is simply an energetic echo, an imprint left behind by human life as it once was.

In summary, ghosts do not communicate, respond, or engage with the living. They are not present-day entities but fragments of energetic history momentarily visible when conditions allow. Understanding this distinction is essential when exploring the wider topic of unseen energies and spiritual phenomena.
