Can Objects be Haunted?
We get asked
often if a spirit or residual energy can become attached to an object. Yes, it
does occur. Again, popular Hollywood stories bring perceptions of cursed dolls
that move.
Most items
that are considered haunted are imprinted with residual energy. Some items can
store the energy of human emotions. Most items can relinquish this energy after
a few seconds to minutes, while others can hold onto and release residual
energy more slowly. Usually imprints are stronger when there was tragedy or
strong emotions involved.
In some cases
an intelligent spirit can become attached to an item and follow it wherever it
goes. When I say attached, I mean mentally attached not physically bound to an
item. Much like a spirit may decide not to pass into the light, a spirit may
feel the need to look after a favorite possession or if they are emotionally
distraught, find comfort in a familiar item.
How Can You Tell if an Item is
Haunted?
The easiest
answer is if you can positively identify that the activity began after a
certain item was brought into the home, the possibility is decent that the
object is haunted. You can confirm that the activity is the result of the
object by conducting a simple test. Remove the questionable item from your home
for several days. If activity stops, it could be that item. If it returns again
if you bring that item back – you found your problem!
How to Handle a Potentially Haunted
Object
Never destroy
it! The first impulse may be to destroy the offending article because you feel
that if you destroy it you will destroy the energy involved with it. If the energy attached to the item was not
residual, but an intelligent entity, they may latch onto whoever destroyed the
object and have a bit of an attitude if their item was destroyed.
Some people
claim that one can cleanse a particular object, but from experience residual
energy can be difficult to remove. Some claim that sage smudging will work,
while others bury small items in sea salt for a few days.
For
really dark energy imprints, it is important to either find someone who deals
exclusively with dark energy or to remove the item from your home. Throw the
item in the trash if you have serious concerns with a certain item. Some
experienced dark energy professionals will either bury an item off of the
impacted property or dispose of the item in deep water. (Please note, we are
not supporting littering in any way. Let a professional handle the item).
