Everyone,
I think this has been touched on before, but since ghosts seems to be part of the human experience, does anyone have any ideas about what they might be?
Love,
Patsy.

To me, a ghost is the emotional/mental body of a soul which has not properly crossed over after death, for some reason.
Ghosts can stay behind on the earth plane for a variety of reasons. For example, if a recently deceased soul believes they have done something wrong that they will be judged for, they may refuse to cross over. Or if a soul had an addiction when they were incarnated that they are not ready to release, they may also be reluctant to cross over. And when someone dies suddenly and unexpectedly and the person is too shocked and distressed to cross over and leave their life behind, they may choose to stay on the earth plane. Unfinished business can also cause a soul to keep a part of themselves in the earth plane, long after their life has ended.

Confusion is the most common reason for getting lost/stuck - although not always "on the earth plane". More likely in the grey area between here and the land of the dead.
I've always thought of ghosts as just a "memory" effect that has been "captured " in some medium or other . Maybe the minerals in a wall or earth. Sort of like a recording. You could have a ship or a suit of armour included in the recording.
These cannot be interacted with as they are just recordings.
Spirit or souls are whatever we want to call them are "active" identities and can be interacted with as it seems that they have not fully as yet left our material dimension for whatever the reason.
I think I said this earlier in the thread, but the "memory" is a memory of the spirits of the place. The memories can't be interacted with but the spirits of the place can. Part of what I teach is listening to the stories that the spirits of place are willing to share with us.
What scommstech calls the "active" entities are the free souls. They may become stuck here - this is easy to deal with. More commonly they get stuck elsewhere, although we are not going to interpret those as ghosts, of course. However,
it seems that they have not fully as yet left our material dimension for whatever the reason.
makes it sound as if they will leave at some time. They won't. At least not without help.
There are also body souls. These are often considered "ghosts". Also, some spirits - for example, house spirits - are mistaken for ghosts by people who know nothing about such spirits.
