ghost hauntings

teja · 05-09-2006, 07:02 AM

i am feeling that there is a ghost in my house. i have never seen it. when i cry, i hear its voice. it cries with me. Late at night 1 30 midnight i hear its voice. And when there is a death to any of the relatives of the family it is sorrounding the house. i dont know what to do?

i daily do poojas sing bhajans. but even then it is evident that something is there. When i chant the mantras it goes out of the house. but it never goes away.

i dont know what to do? i am always afraid.

Please help me.

First let me ask: was there an untimely death in your house? while or before you lived there? It could be an earthbound spirit with unresolved issues in that location, if this is the case.

You must determine if it is intelligient haunting, or a residual haunting. Does the ghost always do the same thing, at the same time? or does it act like it is trying to make some sort of intelligient contact? in residual hauntings it's the astral shell of the deceased that has left a powerful psychic imprint on the location; in intelligient hauntings there literally is an earthbound spirit haunting the location.

Are you sure this is not all psychologically related?

How do you know you're really being haunted, as well as your aunt?

I believe you, having been harrassed from the otherside myself. By fearing the presence of this entity you keep it around for it feeds off your fear. Chant Hare Krsna loudly and with full faith that Krsna will protect you. Play a recording of Srila Prabhupada chanting Hare Krsna continuously in your home. Either the ghost will leave or become a devotee, or both, and your consciousness will also benefit greatly. You can't lose in any circumstance.

Most people here will not like it, but someone has to do this. There are no such things as ghosts. A ghost is a physical impossibility.

You have a vivid imagination blurring the lines between the real and the unreal which happens to some people. You will have to use logic to solve this problem. Basic questions...How can a ghost have a voice? There can be no voice without a physical voice box. Has it ever tried to communicate with you? Have you tried to communicate with it? If not, you should.

You said earlier that you cannot see it. How then do you know it goes away for the mantras?

Also look into your past. You were most likely exposed to ghost stories and haunted house stories which had a profound impact on you. If you can understand that you are creating the ghost, then your problem will be solved. Try watching movies like a beautiful mind and flightplan. Else, you can consult a doctor.

Good luck

Nonsense. Do you nothing about the Meta-physical? Ghosts exist on the astral plane. They are in a subtle body.

What are you, an atheist? This is a 'spiritual' discussion board for spiritually minded people. The person is being troubled by a spirit being, and asked for advice. If he had wanted to hear atheistic advice, or those who say the supernatural is all in the head, he would not have come here. He could have gone to any shrink, to hear this psychological babble.

Yes I believe that is the case. But SHVU can answer for himself.

While I'm skeptical of ghost hauntings and such, how is the presence of a ghost a "physical impossibility"? Considering that scientists are just now beginning to speculate on the existence of other dimensions, who are you to really say that such a thing is "impossible"?

A ghost can simply be another entity living in another dimension, that is perceived by the topic creator, because he is somewhat sensitive to the other dimensions for some reason. It's a possibility, but of course I'm skeptical. I would not say it's impossible, since we don't know, and I haven't experienced any such thing.

I get the connection to a Beautiful Mind, but what does FlightPlan have to do with this? If you've seen the movie, you would have known that the woman's paranoia was actually justified (it was a ludicrous movie to begin with).

Maybe the topic creator is schizophrenic, or has some psychological problem. Then again, he might actually be having a valid experience of the supernatural. I don't think your questions are adequate enough to address this issue, as it IS possible for a ghost to speak to him without the use of a voicebox, either in his mind (sounds like an illness but may not be even if it's only heard in his mind), or if the ghost has sufficient strength to influence this dimension by producing vibrations in the ether to simulate a voice. Also, the current perception of schizophrenia is that it is an illness. However, I'm not so sure it is that simple. A person might be caught between two different realities, so he may see entities from both dimensions and may be unable to discern who or what belongs to one dimension or the other. A spiritual dilemma, more than a psychological one, then.

Of course, if you choose to go with the simplest explanation (which isn't necessarily true), it could be he's just schizophrenic and his brain is sort of "on the fritz". Maybe he should see a psychologist or neurologist. That could help or make it worse, but you never know until you try something.

Of course, the topic creator might want to try spiritual alternatives first to see if anything happens that's concrete. If indulging in spiritual activities works, keep doing it. If it doesn't, then he should definitely go see someone about it.

There is a Program in Uk called. (sorry can't remember the name exatly) Ghost something. In it a GHost Phychic (a Christian lady) who can sence ghosts etc. Visits houses which allegedlly contain ghosts. In one house a boy took a poloriod photograph of a man, he was mean looking. It was meant to be a ghost reflected somewhat in a mirror. A skeptic (a very big skeptic I might add) said it might be an acual picture. (it couldn't have been faked, too much evidence). Anyway the Lady GHost Hunter said and gave the same description of the ghost and even said too great details his life and why he was doing this. She said some Latin prayers. (very cool). And it went off. I think this is enough proof. And i was convinced beyond a doubt. Even the skeptic is starting to frail. !

whoa, stay away from the word "impossible". Most scientists believed quantum singularities were a physical impossibility but then along came Hawkins. I love it how you have totally disregarded the possibility - even if you have conducted an investigation you can never say for sure "what is not". Do you see what i mean? it is most unscientific.

Wait a minute.....

Mr.Shvu in his post said "ghost is a physical impossibility".....literally speaking he is correct.....a ghost does not have a physical body and hence it is impossible. A ghost is in a different plane not conspicous to the human eye, ofcourse. So, it is impossible to be physical and a ghost at the same time which is an oxymoron- ghost a physical impossibility.

Haribol!

>> "ghost is a physical impossibility"

Is the soul + subtle body = ghost ?
and subtle body is material ?

Vrindavan · 05-09-2006, 10:15 PM

you may also try ghost hunter or people who can communicate with ghost in your local area (similar culture).

Try more methods at the same time.

"There is more than meets the eye."

It is easy to use terms like impossible regarding subtle psychic phenomenon. For example, there was a tv show on truffles the other day. How would I know what they really taste like, until I have tasted them. Same thing with psychic phenomenon.

If you live in india, it should not be a problem. Go to your local temple, and explain the problem to the priest. He will definitely help or send you to someone who deals with such issue. Usually tantrists are very good in removing ghosts.

If you are outside india or dont know any priest, well that might be a little problematic.
