EARTHBOUND SPIRITS
An earthbound spirit is a human spirit that has not
properly passed over. They have not gone onto the next
level, the light, heaven, whatever you choose to call it.
They remain behind, here on earth, and they account for many
ghost sightings and haunted places. The reasons for this are
varied. Some are complicated and unique to that spirit and
others are simple to understand and relate to.Sometimes a
spirit realizes that it is dead and that life continues
beyond that. They do not go to the light for reasons such as
the fear that their existence will end, fear of the unknown,
fear of going to hell or being judged for past deeds. These
spirits are bound here because of their own fears. Other
spirits stay behind to take care of unfinished business. It
may be to make sure their finances and their loved ones are
ok or to pass along one final message. Often these
earthbound spirits do not remain here for long, once they
can complete their goal, they normally pass over. |

If the deed that they are attempting to finish is
complicated they will often contact the living to assist them. In
many cases the living are unsure of what the spirit wants and it
adds to the length of the time the spirit spends here. Almost
anything that a spirit feels compelled to do before it goes to the
light can make it remain here until it feels comfortable with how
they have left things.
Guilt can also be a reason for a spirit being stuck here. They may
feel like they have left the family or loved ones too soon and
uncared for. This is also the main reason why suicide victims and
other spirits whose death was caused by their actions (alcoholics,
drug overdose, etc) remain behind. They feel guilty over taking
their life or contributing to their death.
The living can also hold a spirit here. By not letting go of them,
they can be bound here by our love and unable or unwilling to go on
until the living can come to terms with the loss. This happens when
people go beyond the normal grieving process and become obsessed
with the deceased person. They feel that they left things unsaid,
undone, etc. and they feel guilt over it. This keeps the spirit from
going over many times simply because it does not want us to feel
this way or be that upset.
Some spirits remain at or near the site of their
death, especially if it was sudden and unexpected. They remain
confused and don't know or accept that they have died. These spirits
remain in the area and try to make contact with anyone that passes
by that is sensitive to spirits. This type of spirit can be found
almost anywhere a death has occurred.
Earth-bound spirits that have not realized their
situation are prone to experience a great deal of confusion.
They may wander through their ghostly world, continuing
their daily routine from the most recent incarnation. The
problems arise when others in the physical world have taken
the place of the departed. For example, a job position has
been filled, replacing the deceased, or a favorite lounge
chair has been moved, or perhaps a home has been sold and
people unknown to the previous (deceased) owner are moving
in" In some cases, believing their property or job to have
been stolen or unfairly taken, the ghost may become
resentful, frustrated and angry. This can result in
poltergeist activity (moving objects, constant problems with
lights, unexplained opening and closing of doors,
televisions switching on and off, glasses smashing and so
on).
Because they do not know they are dead, some ghosts
do not understand why they are ignored. In extreme cases, confusion, anxiety or sorrow can
turn into hostility, prompting poltergeist activity. The trouble
usually ceases once the spirit is communicated with successfully, an
important message is properly delivered, or an understanding is
reached by the spirit, of its situation.
It takes a lot of energy for spirits to physically
appear and when they do, they may resemble a shadow or a hologram.
Sometimes they can appear as misty looking figures, or even as
light. More rarely, they may appear in solid form, completely
opaque, audible and life-like
Incognito, with
long hair in a green caravan.
She sits steady and speaks fast.
Building her future in front of a paused moment,
In the past.
The pale moist contains the key to a short life.
No more food to hide.
Witnesses perform a circus beyond the grave.
