It is a generally accepted theory that a soul torn from its body suddenly, prematurely or violently, retains many of its earthly characteristics. Experimental psychology suggests that we also have the power to produce phantoms that are as real as the spirits of the departed.
When death is the result of the slow and natural degradation process, and the separation from the physical body has occurred naturally, it rarely leaves an imprint behind, save that of the memories we carry around with us of our loved ones. It is thought that certain physical elements retained by the spirit who has suffered a particularly sudden death will have left a part of its consciousness on the physical plane through which it can manifest certain feats of physical strength.
*Through the strong will of the subjective mind.
Those who have died under circumstances of great mental stress and tragedy are those most likely to produce certain elements of phenomena that we call psychic disturbances, or negative activity.
THOUGHT FORMS
A phantom or ghost can be created by a living entity as well as one that has passed from this plane of existence, as an intensified telepathic vision, (it's objectivity, power, persistence, and permanence being in exact proportion to the intensity of the emotion and desire that created it)
The embodiment of an idea or thought form is endowed with intelligence pertaining solely to that one thought.
Certain places are pervaded by a mental atmosphere which can correspond to the former inhabitants of that space. There are many sensitive individuals who, upon entering that space, can relate the incidents that have occurred there in great detail. This is especially true of cases where the inhabitant experienced great sorrow and emotional distress. The influence and its magnitude can be 'tapped' into for years after the initial event, sometimes to the point where people feel they have to move home because the influence becomes overbearing.
The difference between a telepathic vision transmitted from one living entity to another, and a phantom, or ghost of a deceased person, is of degree, not of kind; of species, not genus. Both are creations of the subjective mind; both are created for the purpose of conveying intelligence to others. In each case, the vision ceases the moment the object of its creation is accomplished.
Obsessing spirits or Ghosts cannot be commanded out of existence, they must fulfill their reason for being. Understanding what it is that the ghost or obsessing spirit is trying to achieve and helping them to do this will allow them to move on to their next level of involvement.
Photographic Anomalies
Sometimes strange things appear on photographs that were not perceived with the naked eye at the time of the picture being taken. There have been instances of unexplained extra limbs or the “orb” phenomena appearing in photographs.
Generally the “orb” phenomena occurs on digital images where the picture has been taken in a low light setting using the flash.
There are hundreds of pictures of “orbs” circulating on the internet that have been taken with digital camera's. On one of our investigations in Morganton in North Carolina, we managed to photograph some translucent diamond shapes in a room which was no longer used, in a Mental Hospital. The room in question had a very strange feel to it when you walked in, and we were told that there had been deaths in that room which were particularly gruesome as there had been a fire many years ago and people had been trapped in it.
Electronic Voice Phenomena
EVP can attributed to impressions recorded (left behind) after seriously tragic fatal accidents, or relayed messages from those who passed over and left a part of their consciousness behind.
Whatever the cause of this phenomenon, there is obviously a reason for it. Because most assume that they know the way the world works, they tend to assume that everything works the same way. Through the development of cultural ideas we should be able to utilize popular theory and “common sense” knowledge based models of perception to proffer a sensible thesis but more often than not this subject ends up in the demonologie section rather than in a meta-psychological investigation.
