in your case Joe......you were lucky...i have a ghost here at my house...
i hear him (heavy footsteps) walking up the cellar stairs at least once a week.
it's not the best feeling ... and people who are
murdered or have unfinished buisness here, refuse to leave or trancend.
i detest what Hollywood has done to the paranormal... it's now a big JOKE.
take the herb
black cohosh for example... for women experiencing the hot and cold flashes from menopause it's a godsend remedy and works beautifully. My wife cannot believe it...how good it works,after taking it.
in days of old...
Mid- wives and herbalist's ( branded as witches,worlocks) imprisoned and then executed for being "Evil dooers" for the use of a plant went on for way to long. It was more excepted to drill friggan holes in people skulls to let the evil demons out of the body.... but use a plant to heal yourself...
let's gettum ...hangem ...burn em, dround em , off with their heads.
and it still is going on today... except it's in a different form, but just as nasty. Under those circumstances the body is DEAD yes, but the soul
refuses to leave for the injustice done to it. i absolutely hate halloween.
