The Restless Dead

The Restless Dead

Spirits 101.

Spirits are the energy imprint, spirit body, projection or emotional idea. Some of them used to be living humans (ie dead people). Some of them did not. Energy does not die. It just changes form. When it passes from this place to another (as it naturally should) it goes back to through The Veil or astral to be reunited, healed, taught and/or reborn. 

On this plane spirits can see us but often can not touch or interact with things. Sometimes we even appear as ghosts or shadows to them. This makes most people (even dead people) get pretty pissed off when people ignore them, when they are frightened or lost. This is what most haunting is like.

The worst spirits to deal with (as a house clearing medium) are drug addicts and alcoholics. They often have no idea they are dead and are full of unresolved issues. For regular people, child spirits are the most terrifying. If you have never seen a full screaming snot bubble tantrum of a scared and angry 3 year old you can not imagine how that translates into spirit activity.

Spirits are supposed to "cross over" into the light. (This light is what Light workers and mediums are connected to).

A medium should be able to speak to the spirit, find out what is wrong. Calm everything down and cross them over (guides the other side often help).

Spirits who have "crossed over" and who are guides don't move things, or interact with the physical much at all. They often become guides and protectors of the living and will communicate with me easily messages and the like to the living.

The first thing to do if you are being haunted is to calm down. Spirits can draw energy from strong emotions and being frightened is not going to do anyone any favours.

If you are not a trained medium, find a reputable professional to help you. 

Poking at something with a spiritual stick when you have no training or idea what you are doing is really dumb.

Smudging can help.  

You can buy Banishing the Dark incense here

Crystals and charms can help protect you too.

You can have something created by an expert.

Cascarilla is used to create wards and protection too.

Ground eggshells and herbs can stop spirit from getting in or out.

Salt is your friend.

Salt washes, salt in jar or bottles, salt in circles. Salt (you can have it tailored to your needs) is not liked by most spirits, especially when charged with crystals, herbs and oils.

Most spirit is not evil, dark or unnatural. Most are just confused and lost.Compassion and kindness, light and love are the best idea.

If you are sensitive or find yourself drawing these beings to you, a good idea would be to train yourself with a decent group of mediums. They are unlikely to stop coming to you, all you can do is deal with them kindly.
