Nice thread, S&F
Ok, as promised I'm jumping in, but it probably won't be the standard take on the subject, lol
As I wrote in many of my posts, I believe that all our experiences are determined by our beliefsystem and that the perception of that experience
changes as we grow and widen our views.
Mine:
The circle of birth, life and death doesn't end until we get back at the beginning point, the point/place before birth, which isn't within our
space/time dimension. it doesn't matter what your beliefs or religion is, and although it's just 'another theory', this circle can be applied to
all.
I don't know how it works but I guess some souls can become stuck in between two points and as long as they stay within our space/time dimension they
are perceived as ghosts (in opposite to guides, which aren't influenced by space and time)
I also think that many mediums mistaken guides for ghosts (no offense meant to any medium reading this)
As you mentioned, a ghost that doesn't realizes what is happening to him or that simply doesn't want to leave can give you strange experiences. I
also believe that a lot of them simply have a certain message for the ones they leave behind. I had an experience like that when my brother died,
I'll post the link to the thread here because it's a rather long story.

My interest in the paranormal began with ghosts when I was 14 years old. I've played around with Ouija boards often, I even made them as an art form
for a while and hung them up on my walls. By the time I was 20 I knew I had several ghosts in the houses I lived in. A lot of people who came to my
house felt uncomfortable, they thought my house was creepy. I never felt fear once, in fact I felt very exited everytime weird stuff happened. It
would open doors, all at once, or drawers, candles that fell over every time I entered the house, things like that. I think it even played with my dog
(the dog wasn't afraid either) Not that I really knew what to do with it, there was no real communication,so I just talked to it often and let it be.
When I moved again I symbolically took a carton box and asked it to move with me to the new place, I labeled the box "ghost". LOL... well I think it
did move with me, but about a year later It seemed to be gone.
I'll see if I can dig up that picture I told you about, with the ghostly ectoplasm thing on it. When I find it I'll scan it to my computer and post
it here.
