what kind of chart would indicate a person who attract ghosts or is more sensitive to the presence of ghosts?

i live by three cemeteries:
resurrection cemetery
bachelor's grove cemetery
christ lutheran cemetery

both resurrection and bachelor's grove are considered one of the country's "most haunted places" (i often wonder how one calculates that...) while christ lutheran is just a regular cemetery without any stories but christ lutheran is right next to me - i can see it from the yard. here's some info on the place: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=vcsr&GSsr=41&GSvcid=23696&

resurrection is 11 miles away but i've gone on a ton of field trips and have driven by the area almost on a daily basis. every field trip i have taken inside the resurrection i have almost thrown up - no joke. it's not as if i get nervous because i'm afraid of anything, i just get sick as if i have stomach flu or whatever, i get a terrible headache, and then i feel like throwing up. once we get back to school i start to feel better. it's weird... resurrection is know for resurrection mary which i'm sure all of you have heard of at least once: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resurrection_Mary

and there are literally a DOZEN ghost stories about the place that you guys can google if you feel like reading up more.

bachelor's grove isn't as close as christ lutheran - 1.5 miles away. my friends and i used to drive up the road there and sit in our cars daring each other to go into the woods. the cemetery is closed off now i believe. we had one field trip there for chicago history class but i couldn't go because of a test . cook county is trying to cut off any access to the site now because people keep either vandalizing the place or too many ghosts hunters have bothered the woods. i've only been to the edge because honestly... i get scared, lol. i've read and heard numerous stories like this: http://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=35

info on bachelor's:http://www.prairieghosts.com/bachgrov.html

i just don't like to mess with the eternal resting place of the dead... but apparently they like to mess with my living space right now...

it's weird... every since i was little i've always seen things from the corner of my eye or have seen faces reflected in the window, blinked, and they would go away. i've always told my mom when it happens and she tells me not to attract ghosts or they'll never leave me alone once they "like me".

i've been living in this house since 1995 and i can say that i definitely notice bizarre things.

for one, my cat hisses at the doorway that leads to our backyard and our backyard faces the woods that lead to both christ lutheran and bachelor's the other direction. at night he gets attracted to something outside of the window and i'll open the door to let him get some fresh air. he goes halfway through the door, hisses at something in the dark, and runs back into the house. every time i look i don't see anything but i've always felt a weird vibe coming from this part of my house. i don't step outside at night because of it. i refuse to not because i'm scared of the unknown but of what i think i know is there.

even before we got the cat, there's always been something up with that doorway too. since we moved in, the door knob always gets loosened and has rusted even though the other doorknobs around the house are still like new. i always rescrew it tight, but by the next day or two it somehow comes loose. not undown, but loosened like someone was trying to open the door while it was locked. i told my dad about this and he got worried about someone trying to rob us or our sh*tty neighbor kids being jerks maybe so he's put in two bolts... the doorknob comes undone. i feel like taking a photo of it.

i also hear tapping from that window at night thinking it might be my brother coming home and ill approach the door and there will be no one there. ill go to the next room, hear the tapping again, and then go back and there won't be anyone. sometimes it happens during the day, but it happens at least twice a week at night. and i always feel weird vibes... like a man is looking at me from the outside... i put the lights on at night there to ease my mind and often vivid imagination... but even then... WEIRD VIBES.

You are sensing energy and is not your imagination. I have gotten this too from time to time in the places I have lived.

Just be clear about your boundaries and see white light surrounding you and your home. Around that, an extra layer of violet light.

I'm fairly certain (because a lot of other people have pointed it out...) that there is something supernatural attached to me.

Since I was little I have been fascinated with ghosts when I was 10 years old I'd ask for books on poltergeist on my trip to the library...

I feel like I have a higher sensitivity to the paranormal... a lot of friends have commented on it too... whether it's a white light next to me in pictures (*a lot* of pictures...), or flashing lights when I'm around, or weird noises....

Most notable is the "falling objects" when no one is home... literally, in the middle of the night, candles will fall to the ground...

Other stuff, is my dog freaks out and will act like she's staring at someone.

I get sore throats/respiratory problems... some say that it's because ghosts suck out extra oxygen/energy from the air...

OH ANDDD how could I forget? The missing objects. This is by far the weirdest thing... just last week I literally TORE MY ENTIRE ROOM APART, and the keys showed up hours later sitting on my bed, it was by far the eeriest thing I've ever experienced.

"There are more ghost stories and eerie legends told about this small, abandoned cemetery than any other place in the Chicago area. It is located on the edge of the Rubio Woods Forest Preserve, near the suburb of Midlothian, Illinois. This ramshackle burial ground is said to be infested with ghosts and more than 100 different reports of strange phenomena have been collected about the place... including actual apparitions, unexplained sights and sounds, and even glowing balls of light. There have been no burials here for years and as a place of rest for the departed, it has been largely forgotten. But ask any ghost chaser where to go to find a hauntings and chances are, this cemetery will be very high on the list!"

"Trouble began for the cemetery in the 1960's, when the road leading back to the cemetery became a popular "lover's lane". At some point, it was also discovered by vandals, who left the cemetery itself is in terrible condition, desecrated and forgotten. This became so bad that the graveyard was officially closed in 1965. Since that time, especially in the 1970's, things have gotten even worse. It is believed that satanic and occultist groups perform ceremonies here, sometimes leaving the ghastly remains of their rituals behind. Vandals have left few of the graves still standing and many tombstones have been stolen, and sometimes returned to the grounds, giving rise to legends that the grave stones sometimes move
by themselves. There have been over 100 paranormal incidents reported here including ghost lights, inexplicable lights and voices, apparitions, strange photos, anomalous recordings and
even sightings of unbelievable creatures."

It would be creepy to live near this place.

Ok, found the link I read: http://www.bachelorsgrove.com/

Click Ghost Research on the left
then choose whatever, but make sure you check out "photographs" and definitely "stories".
Some of the stories are lame and could be made up. But some... some make you wonder.

Moon Pixie,

I think most "ghosts" are people whose bodies have died and they don't have an inner Knowing that allows them to escape the material realm. Many without this inner knowing are pretty angry in life and even angrier without their body in death. You are just sensing the emotion, same as you would sense the emotion of a person sitting right next to you who is really fuming. I saw some good advice in the first few responses. You know how you feel when someone yells "F. You!" at you... well, this is a similar principal. They might be sending that energy in your direction (because anger is one of the easiest energies to feel) to see if they can get you to pick up on it. Just trying to communicate. That's why your mom says not to encourage them or show they are getting through unless you actually want to deal with them and have the energy to help them/pray for them constantly etc. You can do it if you want, but if you don't guide them to the Light and Love, they will hang around trying to learn more.

Those idiots who did all of those dark rituals probably attracted the angriest energies/entities. Hanging out with them will be like hanging out with the guys in prison for an extended period of time. If you don't have the qualifications, you will become drained. Also, many like that will feel powerful and think it is fun to scare you. It's best just to ignore the bad attention seeking behavior.
If you choose to help any of them, take a lot of time and research to look up how it is done and what protective measure to take... not because they have power over you, but because you have to take certain protective measures in any healing profession because it is draining to constantly help others with negative or fearful outlooks and you don't want to adopt those outlooks as your own.

I haven't looked at your chart but I've got a lot of 8th House action and I think that has something to do with much of my own experiences and thoughts on the matter.

I agree with some posts from above to get the white light energy flowing......though if you want to learn more about spirits then read James van Praagh books like Talking to Heaven, Reaching to Heaven and Heaven and earth - These books may give you some more insights into what you are experiencing.

Unmoved - I second you on that comment! Though she did post her chart to see.....I figure it would fall into two forums.... That is all I have to say about that.

The rest was just a suggestion from me, that's all.

Ever think of studying up on Spiritualism? It just may answer some questions. Read up on the Fox sisters etc. (I'm into this sort of stuff. I am A Spiritualist and go to a spiritualist church and have learned many things.)

Just an idea....

I totally feel the eistance of'GHOSTS' as parallel existance, time being an illusion, if energetic experience happened at a precise location and parallel time where you are at and if you are sensitive enough you will experience the 'ghost' phenomenon.
Physics isn't enough any more thats why scientists are moving even more to the META physics.

I've never really studied that much into the paranormal mostly because I hate to feel paranoid.

Which would rule ghosts and the paranormal in general: the 8th house or the 12th house? Either way, both my 8th and 12th Lord are in the 9th ruled by Gemini. I'm not sure if that means much.

I'm thinking of buying a blessed candle of sorts and lighting it at the doorway at night so that area has white light - literally. I'll also make a small recording my cat freaking out at "nothing" at night because its just... weird and funny at the same time.

I find my with My 12th house Saturn influences I feel like a hermit and at times don't feel like dealing with other humans and the complexities. (My life path in numerology is 7).

I'm not a materialistic girl and for the longest time I had a fear of falling apart or something....letting the flood gates go on my emotions. I've learned to listen to my intuition more and follow the advice of my gut - the only time I feel skewered is when I don't follow my intuition and something awful happens. I'm working on reaching out more to others as I need to open up more and come out of my urban cave.

This past week I have been wanting to read up on these mediumship books that I bought a while back ago cause I'm feeling the need.

The past two year I have been working on my "HIGHLY SENSITIVE SELF" and learning to flow with my emotions and instead of hoarding my feelings releasing them (Cancer Moon sextile Saturn and sextiling Pluto. Moon also widely trines Neptune which is conj Jupiter). Maybe I'm working towards becoming a medium, but in my own time....

I know I have no problem picking up on the emotions of those around me....that's probably why I can't watch the news or any violent movie cause it's too much....

anyhow that is my findings and I really hope I didn't hijack the thread....just answering a question...

MoonPixie - you're welcome have a great weekend
