Some ghosts remain on Earth

“Assuming that ghosts of any type actually do exist, there seem to be a variety of reasons for spirits to choose to remain earthbound. They range from the silly to the serious and sometimes determining why they’re staying where they are is key to understanding the activities at a particular location,” writes Patricia Marin for the Ghost Hunting Examiner.

“Many spirits seem to be able to move back and forth between their world and ours. This accounts for occasionally seeing, hearing, or sensing loved ones, including departed family, friends, and pets,” writes Marin. “They can make their presence known during stressful times to provide comfort and encouragement and can also choose to spend time with us during our daily activities and hope that we somehow feel their presence.”

Marin writes several reasons some remain here long after their time on earth should have ended.


Here are some of the possible reasons ghosts don’t move on:
1. “TRAUMA: They died so suddenly or violently that they don’t know they’re dead or simply refuse to accept it.”
2. “LACK OF A BELIEF SYSTEM: They expected non-existence following death and have trouble coping with the fact that they’re still around and aware.”
3. “UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Something needs to be completed; for example, an important project at work or home. An intense interest in “seeing it through” can cause a person to linger for a while on the earth plane. The desire to send a message to someone still living can also be a powerful reason to remain.”
4. “PROTECTION: A spirit may be trying to protect a loved one for some reason and is reluctant to move on until they’re assured of their safety.”
5. “LOVE: A very strong love bond between spouses, parent/child, or even friends can cause a spirit to remain.”
