~Let The Dead Rest~

When one reads about anything to do with ghosts and/or hauntings, you will find that many paranormal investigators believe that if a person dies suddenly, or if they die a violent death, the dead person's spirit is likely to hang around, not realizing that they are in fact dead.

Another belief is that when a murder or violent death occurs, the energy from that experience can hang around where the death occurred. This is known as residual energy. So, while there are no real spirits or ghosts present, people can pick up on the intense emotions that perhaps were imprinted there by the person before they died eg: fear, panic, anger. They may also be able to pick up or sense how the person died.

I find that when it comes to people investigating places that are possibly haunted, too much emphasis is placed on calling on the spirit that may be present. You see this all the time on all of the latest reality ghost hunting/investigation shows. Yet, you never see anyone do anything to help that spirit to understand that it is indeed dead. You don't see any attempts to help that restless spirit cross over so that they can finally be at peace.

Many paranormal "experts" when carrying out an investigation, use varying tactics to lure a spirit into communicating with them. One tactic that I find rather disturbing, is when they attempt to anger a spirit in hopes of it manifesting itself.

As a human being that feels compassion and empathy for others, I find that practice very disrespectful. My thinking is that perhaps when a ghost hunter/paranormal investigator calls on a spirit or ghost, they may in fact be disturbing that spirit and preventing it even further from crossing over and being at peace.

And what happens when these "experts" believe that they have proof that a haunting is very likely taking place? What do they do? Nothing. Nothing other than state, "Yes, this place is haunted." Well that's wonderful and all, but how is that helping that lost soul that is doing all of the haunting?

Our society has made some tremendous advances in technology, and this is great news for people who like to study and investigate hauntings. Paranormal investigators now have access to all sorts of technology and fancy gadgets that can help them try and determine whether a place is haunted or not. However, I think more needs to be done to help the lost souls that are lingering around and haunting the living. They deserve to be guided so that they can truly rest in peace.
