When you die, where will you haunt?, page 1

First off, interesting post! It is a question that has crossed my mind a time or two. I naturally have no way of *knowing* but I'd like to think I could choose the place as well. However, from the little I understand of ghost lore, usually ghosts haunt the place where they die right?

Although, I find it interesting you felt that you would haunt the location of your honeymoon. Perhaps that place is symbolic of a significant point in your life and so you felt a connection to it. As far as your dreams go, I tend to think that when we dream of certain places they definetly hold symbolic meaning for us. Dreams are the language of our hearts, our emotions and they use images to describe things we try not to think about in our waking moments....our brains have to process all incoming images, experiences, information.....but some of that stuff are things we do not want to process.

I too watched AHS, and really loved it until the last few episodes.....it really made you think about the afterlife and how negativity can be a powerful energy that can leave a residue. There have been places where I felt very uncomfortable, and I have always wondered the history of those areas. Do you think this was the case when you were on honeymoon? Did you feel that there was a deeper *reason* behind all those terrible feelings you experienced while you were there? Why do you think you felt drawn to haunt that place?

I feel like I'd haunt the Atlantic ocean. For me, the Atlantic is symbolic of purgatory, being caught in between two worlds. I feel like I could roam the entire ocean but I'd never touch either shoreline.

AHS really was great until the last few, I agree! I do believe that day of my honeymoon became a turning point in my life because I came to the realization that I could no longer allow such harm and such sorrow to rule my life anymore. Before that I let it go on for so long and when I finally looked out to the ocean, I decided that my life should be like a vast ocean full of new possibilities. However, I knew that what happened during those days would stay in my mind the rest of my life. In that sense, I would be haunted by these memories forever. Perhaps, someone else had gone through those emotions before me and I felt them. After all, hotels have a constant stream of visitors and those energies tend to linger. Maybe at one point there had been another bride or another woman who had experienced those feelings as well.
