Ghost or Spirit?

How many times have you found yourself wondering what is the difference between a ghost and a spirit?

Are they the same thing?

Ghosts and spirits are not the same, however they can be, and often are, linked together.

Ghosts may be thought of as energetic photographs. They are usually seen wearing the same clothing, or

walking the same pathway of a particular place, or doing the same activity, over and over again, by many

various people. When ghosts are sighted, some sort of tragic event is likely to have occurred in the

circumstances relating to the ghost person resulting in their death. An energetic snapshot of the person

has been created, which often may be seen or perceived by folks still present on the earthly side of life.

Not all ghosts are sad or tragic. Happy ghost images may also occur, particularly if there is a strong

emotional significance to the deceased person.

So how are ghosts and spirits linked? If you or someone you know says, “well I saw a ghost

and we had a conversation", or tells you "the ghost told me information about their life or death..”,

then you/they actually saw, heard, and/or perceived the spirit of that particular ghost and had a conversation!

Spirits are intelligent, discarnate beings; capable of communicating their thoughts and emotions

to sensitive people.

Each person here on planet earth has, to some degree or another, abilities to communicate

with spirit people on the etheric side of life. Not everyone believes that they have, nor are they

interested in, these abilities. If you are one such individual that is able to perceive ghosts and/or spirits,

I highly encourage you to do some research, arm yourself with information, and learn to understand & use

your abilities. You are likely to be pleasantly surprised!
