Ghost Stories

Happy Halloween!

Did you know that there is a reason that we do ghost stories at this time of the year? At Halloween, otherwise know as “All Souls Eve” the veil between the living and the dead is very thin. I think more people die at this time of the year and it’s also very possible for psychics and sensitives to perceive the dead.

Actually the “death bed visitation” is the single most common psychic experience. This is when someone that you are close to dies and you have a visit from them shortly after their death. Maybe it’s in a dream, or you wake up and see Uncle Fred standing at the foot of your bed clear as day. And then you find out that he died during the night.

This kind of thing happens a lot more often around Halloween.

I tend to keep a low profile on this day and the ones leading up to it. My kids love to hang out in Salem on Halloween and I just can’t. I think it would blow my circuits so I stay home and watch horror movies and open the door to the Trick Or Treaters. And tell ghost stories, which I love.

Years ago when I still doing house clearings on a regular basis, I had a visit in my office from a priest of a nearby Catholic Church. “Father Joe” was sneaking into my office, with a big hat and scarf on, trying not to be recognized by anyone local since he had a pretty big problem in his church and didn’t know what to do about it. His church was very haunted.

Everyone who spent any time there knew about it and it was unnerving. It was a nice old church, a large, squat stone one and a bit gothic and gloomy for my taste but classic in a New England way. And according to Father Joe, the bell tower was haunted by a crying lady and there was defiantly another, nastier problem in the church basement where the class and meeting rooms were.
