Misconceptions of a Spirit’s Communication
Many times the intentions of a benign spirit
are often misunderstood. In some cases people take a harmless attempt to
communicate and add intent to them. We often hear claims that a house is
harboring a demon, a poltergeist or a malevolent spirit. Many times, the
culprit is a benign spirit that is often confused, distraught or even a bit
agitated that their attempt to effectively communicate has failed miserably.
Believe me, there are such things as
malevolent spirits and demons – and they certainly cause serious problems, but
this article will focus on benign spirits. A paranormal investigator can help
you determine which type of paranormal entity you have as well as possible
intention and help guide the spirit to the other side. Manchester Paranormal
Investigations provides these services for free within Connecticut and parts of
Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
If a picture falls off the wall or a door
slams by itself, the first thought many people have is that the offending party
is a negative entity. The truth is there just may be a benign spirit who just
may be a little agitated that you do not hear them or understand their
messages. There in fact may be no reason to fear. Sure, the thought of a
deceased person sharing your living space may be a tad unnerving, but we cannot
jump to conclusions about their intent without proper evidence.
Walk a Mile in Their Shoes
The best way to understand their frustration
is to imagine yourself in their predicament. Why are they slamming those doors,
flipping pictures off the wall, stomping on the floor? Think if it this
way.
Imagine for a moment that you arrive home
from a long day of work and you see someone sitting in your favorite recliner.
Your first instinct is to say “Who are you and why are you in my house?” Now
imagine if that intruder does not acknowledge your question or even look at
you. What do you do next? You will more than likely get in their face and
repeat yourself. If they still ignore you, you will then get a bit peeved.
So you start yelling in their face, “Are you
deaf? Who are you?” and get their attention anyway you know how to. You
make noise, lots of it. You know that doing something drastic will get their
attention.
If someone does not acknowledge a spirit,
they usually do something drastic to try to get your attention. Usually it
works. Spirits have many different reasons why they remain behind. The
above illustration can be applied to many applications. Whatever their reason,
the degree of difficulty to communicate causes them to do what they can to get
your attention.
Early Wake-up Call
It is often stated that 3am is the peak of
activity. Remember, paranormal activity can occur at any time and day - most
people notice it more during early morning. It is not that the spirit wants to
scare you (well some do) it's just that you will notice it more.
This is because there is less distractions -
televisions and radios are off, there is less traffic, less talking, and in
darkness your other senses are heightened. Some spirits also realize this and
take advantage of the fact that it is quieter and would be easier to be
noticed.
The spirit is not taking pleasure keeping you
up at night, they are not high-fiving their spirit friends telling tales of
their deeds. The majority of benign spirits do not want to scare or inconvenience
the living - they just want to be heard.
What do they have to say? Since spirits are
individuals, they all have different things to say. We as the living just need
to learn how to listen.
Before you jump to conclusions, ask yourself
"How would I react in their shoes?" Imagine yourself being lost and
every person you encounter does not see or hear you.
