Spirits and Ghosts

Some people believe ghosts exist. Ghosts that tend to stick around could be caught between two worlds-their world-and ours. They might have unfinished business with a loved one, friend or even business partner. Some ghosts can be attached to a house they lived in, an object that they held so dearly to them while alive, or have some anger or sorrow that they took with them when they died. Ghosts can also be unaware that they have even died. Ghosts are often thought to be residual- leftover energy that is simply re-playing an event in time. However, residual does not equal ghost, it equals leftover energy, like a blueprint that is frozen in time. Residual activity is not interactive; it is just a movie that constantly replays repeatedly. Ghost is different from spirit. The word spirit is a term used for spiritual beings like spirit guides, angels or other spirits who have a special purpose and are here to help the living with various things. Spirits are considered to be 'good', Among paranormal enthusiast groups, the difference between spirits and ghosts comes up as a topic quite often, and can lead to round and round discussions about who is right and who is wrong when it comes to defining the difference between the two. Some would say that a ghost is any spirit who has come back from the dead to haunt a person, place or thing, and it is a ghost regardless of what it is intentions are. Others would say that spirits and ghosts are the same thing, with no difference between the two.
