Are suicides more prone to ghostification?

 
By Max Szabo at March 8, 2006 - 8:28pm | Paranormal Experiences

Does the nature of the suicidal act increase the likelyhood of a given person becoming a ghost, and haunting a location?

If so, why - in your opinion - and, if not, why not?

more prone?...

When I think of suicide increasing the chances of becoming a ghost... the pieces don't quiet fit together.

Most suicides are planned. *not all* The person wants to leave this earth as they see it as a painful place and wish for peace.
There are some that may come back with regrets. It's a very large blow to those that had loved them.

It seems more likely in my mind those that are full of life and not ready to die, their lives taken from them. Away from their family and loved ones. Whether so instant it is a shock or slow and brutle, those that are murdered fight for their life.

It makes more sense to me, a murder victim is more likely to haunt than a suicide, the puzzle pieces fit better.

GHOSTS & SUICIDE

By jbone74 on March 16, 2007 - 6:14pm

I'M NOT A PROFESSOR, BUT THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE FOR 3 YEARS HAS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THIS; THE NATURE OF THE SUICIDE(OR MURDER) DOES NOT PLAY AS SIGNIFIGENT A ROLE AS THE EMOTIONAL STRESS BROUGHT ON BY THE ACT,REGARDLESS OF HOW VIOLENT IT IS;EXAMPLE: A PERSON IS STRANGLED, OR DIED SLOWLY IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT (A BAD ONE), DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, THE SAME EMOTIONAL TRAUMA FOR ONE CAN BE AS GREAT AS THE OTHER.BUT THERE ARE A FEW MORE FACTORS THAT PLAY A ROLE IN THIS ,EXAMPLE: BEING THAT THE (SOUL) IS MADE UP OF PURE ENERGY, AND THE BELIEF IS THE ENERGY DOESN'T JUST DISAPPEAR( MUST GO SOME WHERE;HINCE APPARITIONS), AND THAT THE EARTH IS MADE UP OF MAGNETIC FIELDS, WHICH ARE STRONGER AT SOME PIONTS OF THE PLANET THAN AT OTHERS(AND NOT ALWAYS IN GREAT DISTANCE)MEANING ONE END OF A CITY BLOCK MAY CONTAIN HIGH MAGNETIC FIELDS, AS MUCH AS THE OTHER END, YET WHATS IN BETWEEN MAY BE AS DEAD AS THOSE WE ARE IN CONTACT WITH(IF YOU GET MY DRIFT). A REASON FOR THIS CAN BE A COUNT OF CERTAIN ORES IN THE GROUND,WHICH WHEN PRESENT WITH THE BEFORE MENTIONED ACT, CAN PRODUCE A VISUAL, AND, OR AUDIBLE APPARITION. WHICH SOME MIGHT CALL RESIDUAL HAUNTING, YET RESIDUAL DOES NOT MEAN SIMPLY A RECORDING, AS IT SEEMS THAT IN SOME CASES THAT IT TAKES ON A LIFE OF IT'S ON.(INTERACTING WITH OTHERS), AND AS FAR AS LOCATION GOES, WELL THAT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE SPIRIT, THEY MAY HAVE DIED IN ONE PLACE, YET RETURN TO A DIFFERENT DUE TO HUMANLY ATTACHMENT, FOR WHAT EVER PERSONAL REASON THEY HAVE.

Hi Max,

In our group, Spirit Trackers of Rural Michigan (yes, shameless plug, forgive me) the general consensus is that emotional energy fodder for hauntings so places of great emotional output (cemeteries, battlegrounds, churchs, etc) are wonderful places to find spirits. If there is truth to this theory, then it follows that suicide, a very emotional act, could very well result in a haunting, either residual or intelligent.

suicide ghosts

By carolann113 on December 5, 2006 - 3:19pm

in my opinion i think they do haunt the location they died in,because i have one in my home,her name is mary,ive captured her on evps giving her name,and she likes to scare the hell out of my guests and sometimes me lol,she hung herself in my garage over 40yrs, ago and is still here,she sometimes tell me to get out this is her home,i tried helping her cross over it made her angry,so i just let her be,and ask that she not show herself to me,so far so good,she did once to my mom and really scared her,i had to leave the lights on at night for her when she slept.when my brotherinlaw slept over she tried pushing him off the mattress,he got dressed and drove all the way home to n.j. from n.y said he'll never sleep here again.she scared my sons girlfriend when they slept over,she heard a voice say across the cieling goodnight goodnight but real erie sound.i just recently put tape recorder in garage and asked if she was here,got a long yesss then her name mary,and this morning 12/05/06 just got her name again on my pc record,so yes i believe. carolann113

suicide ghosts

By edoubleu7 on March 8, 2007 - 7:16am

let us consider what causes a person to become a ghost... and lets get pass the part
where we die, LOL, in short I spirit who remains around after they died are ghost.
you don't need to go through the light to avoid becoming a ghost, that’s just the
commonly believed path, thus you are shown what you expect, to help you get
past the death event. when you die, others who have gone through this, will come
and gather you away from earth. your body is like the one you had in life, just far
less dense, the spirits who are gathering you, have bodies too, they are far less
dense than you, so much so, that we can't catch them with our ghost hunting tricks.
you are taken to a hospital, where all the crap that has been your life it washed
away, you are healed, made whole. please relax, don't go jumping on me, this is
the short version.
the point is why do some become ghost when others don't, the answer to this
question is the same as the question about suicide... and please never every
commit suicide, the dead report suicide is a very bad choice which you will regret.
let us deal with such souls, many suicide, think they are going to hell, for taking
their life, so these spirits refuse to go into the light. if I don't go to God, I can't be
sent to Hell. congrads.. you are a ghost. some, have chosen to take there life with
drugs, with this, they depart life in such a confused state of mind, that they don't
know they are dead. to them their attempt did not work. with this, they go on and
on attempting suicide, failing each time. the problem is, this spirit is likely to
attach/ Haunt someone, imparting their depressed condition to that living person,
driving them to end their life.
then we have those suicides which are so gruesome, that they are in shock about
what they have done, they just lay there on the ground dead, never moving, stuck
in a point in time, the endless now, never looking up to see the better life. some
become stuck because loved ones mourn them so painfully that the departed hangs
around hoping to have the chance to make up for all the pain they caused.
so in these few cases I attempted to point out WHY spirit become ghost. and how
you die, and what you believe are factors in if you are going to become a ghost.
you can transpose these to other death events and understand how or if a ghost is
likely formed by a given death event.

Hey Carolann...this may be fate in a way, but I am working with the Paranormal Research Society out of Penn State and would love the opportunity to chat with you. We are teamed up with the A&E network and helping families across PA, NJ, NY, LI, NYC and beyond. If you have any interest or just want to chat please contact me at pahaunted@yahoo.com
I definitely don't want this to come across as a solicitation but more as an extended hand, if you need one. Regardless it's very interesting and my opinion of suicide is that the spirit does remain in the location of death. (usually tormented in some way)

Thanks Carolann,

David

problem ghost

By edoubleu7 on March 8, 2007 - 6:34am

Hi, carolann113, I had to deal with a problem ghost last year, it was attacking the home renter draging the father out of bed, breaking required health equipment, brusing arms and legs. after I got it on video, I set about removing the trouble maker. it took 2 months. in most cases they don't know they are dead. I take the approch of teaching the ghost about being dead, proving to them , they are dead is the best bet to getting the to wake up, look around and notice other spirits/ ghost are there to bring them home. this is not easy, they know they are not dead, they fight you all the way. I made audio files for home owners to play out loud at night, teaching the troubled ghost about its condition and how thing got this way. our break through came, when I got the departed's date of death, then got the obituaries of his siblings who died after him, they listed him as a brother who had died before, he is not listed as surviving, along with this, I went to the grave yard and took pictures of the grave stones of all his sibling and parents, placed all these on the table in plain view, so that he could read them. I invited him to come along to the graveyard and see if what I said wasn't true. then with some more light instructions the haunting was over. Ed
