FAMILIAR GHOSTS
Familiar ghosts are relatives, lovers, children or friends
who have passed over and may still visit from time to time.
When they come to visit, some people report hearing noises
or seeing objects moving or levitating. Often it is
easy to become
frightened by this, and it can be quite disturbing if
you are alone at night.
Some of the noises can be explained
logically, water pipes or the wind, etc. If it is a spirit,
they are usually not there to frighten you, but to get your
attention. It could be a relative or friend who has
recently passed over come to say goodbye or let you know
they are alright and not really "dead".

If a loved one has
passed and they do not realize they are dead they can become
very frustrated when they try to talk to you get
your attention and you just ignore them. Often they become
so frustrated that they will generate enough energy to move
things or make noises or create a smell that can be linked
to a particular person or place to get your attention. If
this happens don't be afraid just speak to them as if they
were still alive, but explain to them gently what has
happened. If you are not sure who they are, say a little
prayer and ask for them to be guided over to where they need
to be.
If a ghost does become a nuisance, ask it to
leave by telling it that you are frightened by its presence, if
it is a loved one it should go. If it remains, tell it
in a very forceful manner, so there is no
misunderstanding that you want them to leave.
My familiar ghost
again
Comes to see what he can see,
Critic, son of Conscious Brain,
Spying on our privacy.
Slam the window, bolt the door,
Yet he’ll enter in and stay;
In tomorrow’s book he’ll score
Indiscretions of today.
Robert Graves, The Spoilsport
