2. Spirits have absolutely no sense of time.

3. Spirits do not always realize that they are dead. To them, its like they are stuck in an aweful nightmare.

4. Spirits can communicate with us in various ways. In dreams, through subliminal thoughts, automatic writing, via the use of a pendulum, and intuition. Other, more scientific ways are through white noise and evp.

5. Spirits are sometimes mischievous and always curious.

6. Spirits have a profound sense of smell! They are often attracted to certain scents.

7. Spirits are more active at night. Some people think that this is due to less electronic disturbance and that they are able to produce more energy when not having to compete with various electric and electronic devices.

In the same sense, you are more likely to experience ghostly disturbances when your house is quiet.

8. Spirits can and often do, manifest. Orbs, streaks of light, mists, dark shadows, shadows within shadows, and blurs within the air are the most common. Full-body apparitions are always possible, but are not likely.

9. Most ghostly disturbances are actually residue or residual hauntings. Events that play themselves out over and over again, often without the spirit having any control over it whatsoever.

10. Ghostly activity is often more prevalent around children and young adults due to the amount of energy they give off. The higher your personal energy, the more spirits are able to absorb.

11. Spirits often retain memories and emotions of their physical life. And most certainly the memories and emotions associated with the time right before their death.

12. Not all ghosts are "trapped." Some choose to stay within the earthly realm.

13. Spirits retain their personalities.

14. Animals and children are more likely to "see" a ghost.

15. Even the spirits of animals can "haunt."

16. Spirits can often be helpful.

17. Spirits can often be protective of the families they "haunt."

18. Ghosts may actually exist in a state of confusion and not have a clue as to what happened to them, why they are here, why you cannot see or hear them, etc.

19. When spirits are bored, they often cause trouble or become mischievous.

20. Certain locations are vortexes or portals where ghosts/spirits can transport themselves from one realm or place to another.

When I used to sit on the sofa, it was very common for the lights around me to go nuts. We had a "touch-me" lamp with four levels of brightness, and the light would actually turn on by itself, get brighter and brighter, then shut off. And come on again.

I had to learn to cope with this. Eventually I just used the time to honor my mother, not knowing if it was her or not. I think I may have learned psychic protection from this..or just gotten the strong hunch that my mother would keep other spirits away from me. I still have that feeling.

Then after my father died, I was at our huge county library reading about ghosts. I opened the book at random to a page about lights flickering. As I was reading, the fluorescent light above me started to flicker. It took me a while to recognize the oddity of that. I stood up and looked around the enormous first floor with its hundreds of lights. The only one flickering was the one over my head.

I've had so many experiences like this. Toys coming on by themselves, weirdly-timed power outages that coincide with me talking out loud to my dead father.

The university which I attend I have also experienced spirits sitting down next to me in the older buildings. I often get very dizzy and spacey when this stuff happens
