Ghosts...

Now here's a question that should raise a few eyebrows and cause a few opinions, Do ghosts exist? If you ask a child, of course they do. There's loads of them in Hogwarts! If we ask people of science, the answer will most probably be no. There is no physical proof or any concrete evidence to suggest their existence while spiritualists and mediums will speak to them on a daily basis. The public will be split in their opinions with some saying that they have had experiences that can't be explained. Me, personally, I have a theory that there are ghosts but not in a way that they affect the living. To me, ghosts are memories that are stuck in a certain place or time, almost like a movie that is being repeated time and time again. I don't know of any other way to explain things apart from what I know. As none of us really know what happens to us after we die there is no way of proving either way.

But let's get away from the 'Grey lady' and the 'Poltergeist' for a minute and just go back to my theory for a minute. To so many people, ghosts do exist as unwanted memories. Veterans have to live with them every day. But it's not just veterans that are haunted by their past. Anyone that has survived traumas can relive these in their own personal flashbacks during the day and awful recurring nightmares during the night. I can only speak as a veteran and empathise with anyone who suffers in this way. If you do suffer in this way, my heart goes out to you. The good news is that these ghosts can be released and sent to their final resting place.

Of course, sometimes we need help to do this but it is possible to free yourself from them, please take heart. We all know that the help is sometimes slow in getting to us but there is one ghost that is always there to help. This is a great way to fight fire with fire. The Holy Ghost is always on call to love, guide and help us, all we have to do is ask. He is a spirit that we can take all of our ghosts to and ask him for help to deal with them. You'll be surprised just how effective he can be. As a bit of a sceptical person, I once thought this was a bit farfetched but I can now put my hand on my heart and say that in the treatment for my own PTSD, he has been the only effective help so far. So I will finish by asking myself the question, do I believe in ghosts? Most definitely, only not in the same way as Scooby and Shaggy.
