Hunting Ghosts
March 20, 2009
Hunting for ghosts has become the favorite pastime for all ages. Television shows also add fuel to this ghost hunting fire and rekindled many legends.
Students and young adults are first to hunt for locations that claim to be haunted. They even go to abandoned houses and office buildings looking for something paranormal. Hazing is common among them and at times, they dare their friends to spend a night camped in empty houses, dingy cottages and even forests.
The movie Blair Witch Project is a classic example of teenagers exploring unknown places searching for something out there, to get famous. They rarely think of the consequences and all they seek is the thrill. Urban legends spring up from time to time and they go out to prove they are real and not just a myth.
Many try out séance and call out to spirits. What they fail to understand that only the evil ones linger. The good souls pass to the higher level. The wicked and treacherous souls hang around because they are afraid to move on because they know what it will be like on the other side. They would have to face the hellish tortures for their bad deeds done in their lifetime.
These evil souls then capture the mind and body of the innocent souls and enjoy controlling them. They use the teenage minds and bodies to satisfy their unfulfilled desires and also seek revenge on those who had troubled them when they were alive. Ouija board is used by most people for a night of fun and adventure without knowing the right technique and devoid of a spirit guide.
Most of the curious people go to libraries to look for spells, recipes for magic portions, to find ways to put a curse on people, how to make voodoo dolls and capture ghosts. But what they don’t realise that even if they succeed in bringing a ghost to respond to them, how will they make it go back.
Haunting occurs most of the time when the spirits are called and then they are not sent back to where they came from. The spirits hang around and instead seek thrill troubling the ones who summoned them. Book of horrors, directory of spells and many such books are widely sorted after. Only a trained spiritualist or medium will know how to respect these souls and request them to go back.
Different cultures have their perspective about life after death, the soul and their migration to the other side. Ancient rituals are carried out and most of them are related with the departing of the soul from the body.
Respecting the dead and allowing them to remain in their plane is the best way to lead a peaceful and productive life.

Orbs Captured In Disneyworld, Orlando Photographs
February 27, 2009
Few weeks ago, we rescued ourselves from the overpowering, frigid weather of New Jersey and decided to go to Orlando, Florida. Our cheeks needed some coloring and who can resist the charm of Mickey Mouse and his gang. We had a wonderful ten day stay there and participated in every possible activity. I will engage you in our fun-filled family adventure at Disneyworld in our next posts.
Before the fireworks could begin there was a parade with glittering carriages and dancing bears, glowing fishes, cute pigs all dressed up and glowing in lights. They passed through the main street with such pomp and gaiety that most people felt like dancing along with them, swaying to the beat.
Next Tinker Bell, flew down from the Magic castle waving at everyone and the crowd went “OOH!!” and a loud round of applause followed. Well, she was at a very high altitude and deserved all the credit for it.
To add to this excitement, the illuminated Magic Castle kept changing it colors. It was a spectacular site and I couldn’t resist but take pictures of every color change. Each shade created a different image of the castle. Now I know why Walt Disney gave this castle the name, Magic Kingdom.
As I continued snapping pictures, I could see the orbs on all of them. Some faint ones while others with immense density and depth. Some orbs almost looked like the Moon.
I guess all forms of life couldn’t resist the jubilation that Disneyworld offers.
Not sure what orbs are? Follow this link to get an indepth understanding.

Sudden Death By Terror
December 2, 2008
Death is inevitable. All living beings born are meant to die some day. But the nature of their death and the means to their end, makes a big difference.
In Hinduism, it is believed that the last thought that you have trapped in your mind at the time of death, decides on your rebirth and in which form.
So what happens to those who die a terrorizing death? The people who are trapped as hostages, terrorized in the hands of assailants holding weapons of destruction or those innocent victims who are lined up to be shot at. What would be their last thoughts?
Apprehension, trauma, helplessness…
Some could be thinking of their parents, spouse and children. The feeling of despair and knowing that they will die with a bullet hole in their head is certainly a ruthless way to die.
Sudden death due to terror can cause souls to become earthbound. There could be several reasons connected to this. For some, it could be because they are not ready to die, others want to say good-bye to their loved ones while others cannot understand that they are really dead. If a person has died at their workplace in a bomb blast, they can be earthbound mainly because that is a familiar place which they remember before death.
These wandering souls could be trapped for some time until proper rituals are conducted so that their souls can crossover. Many resist crossing over because they want to communicate with their loved ones and make amends. The thoughts and attachments for their family hold them back. It could also be that the souls maybe ready to move on but it is the family members and their unresolved issues that pull them back.
To end this tug of war between souls and material world, what should be done? Families should conduct the last rites according to their religion and forgive those who have passed away. Keep aside resentments and fill their hearts with love towards them. It is very easy to say to stop grieving but it should be curtailed otherwise the souls really find it hard to move on. The rest should be left to HIM.
