SEEKERS DOOR

OMG, I think i would seriously have a STROKE on the spot.

So... what is the difference between a "ghost" and a "spirit"? Same thing, different name??

The only thing (that I'm aware of) that sometimes comes around me is my dog, Muffin. My current dog (Mocha) can "see" her, and Muffin likes to mess around with Mocha quite a bit. I can't see her, but sometimes I can sense when she's near. But Mocha usually gives me the "heads up" on any visits from Muffin.

well personally id consider a ghost someone who has died yet never moved on from this plane... one who is earthbound for whatever reason ... whereas i would consider a spirit anything from a spirit guide to a person who has passed and then crossed over, or the same with pets (ones that are not earth bound) ect.. .
these are just my deffenitions on the subject so someone else may say something else about it lol

Love and Light
Myth

In my opinion a spirit is a spirit!

You have your own spirit as a living being and when we die our spirit still remains. The difference is wether or not they cross over or remain earthbound but in the end it's a spirit of a person or animal if you will (depending on what you encounter).

I suppose they are one and the same essentially, though I'm more comfortable with Myth's definitions -- I feel like a "ghost" would be one to come and scare the bejezus out of me, while a "spirit" would be aware that it better come softly or risk my joining them on the the other side... Very Happy

I guess I associate the term "spirit" with spirit guide, angel, or even folks that have passed who knew me in life -- with "love" I suppose. Whereas a "ghost" would be something that wants to get my attention for some reason of it's own need and not necessarily concerned with how I feel about it.

If that makes sense.

This too makes sense and it's all open to interpretation.

I had a few nasties come my way when I first opened up and I call them entities (lol)...Thank god I have not encountered that again since.

The way I figured out they were infact entities is I kept feeling wind and hearing it gushing in my ears......That's how I distinguished what they were.

I had visited one of my sisters in oregon. and while there at exactly 12:15
p.m I felt as though her living room became so over croweded. a few moments later the room became lighter . Then at exactly 4:30 p.m it happened again. It was as though a lot of people came thru the front door
and left out the back door. This kepted happening each day and early evening at the same time. So I went to the city hall and asked if the location of where my sister lived had once been a trolly car line. And the answer was yes. The trolly lost bussiness when cars and buses became
into use. in 1947. the trolly ran from 1898 untill 1947. and the tracks, or
I should say the residual energy of the people and the tracks ran right
through my sisters residents.

Isn't that something knowing.

It's like the castle I visited with my step-son which was haunted and they showed several images in photos of how they died.. One was an orb like figure jumping off the balcony and in another shot you can see the head of a man placed on a pole. I don't think it applies to residual energy but I do believe the spirits are replaying over and over how they died at the moment they did. You can see the images on the celtic vision site

Animals are very attuned to energies particularly spirit energies, they can see them, feel them and hear then when we can't. When my dog picks up what I can't she let's me know it.

I don't see or feel anything around my home now; but when I lived in Hawaii a lot of stuff went on - most particularly the bed shaking business. I finally got mad and told them to quit it and it stopped. LOL.
