A SEASON FOR GHOSTS?
Think October. What thoughts pop into your mind? If you are like most people, the cool, crisp temperatures that usher in the fall season will often turn your thoughts to the beautiful hues of yellow, orange, and red colored leaves that will soon fall to the ground, jack-o-lanterns, candy corn, and Halloween. If you are, however, a ghost hunter enthusiast, then you will think of autumn as the most popular time for hunting ghosts.
Why do our thoughts turn to ghostly encounters and haunted places in the fall? Could it be the intrigue of the coming Halloween holiday peppered with its usual ghostly tales? Could it be that the veil of energy between the two worlds is the thinnest on Halloween, making it easier for ghosts to interact with the physical world? Or is there some other explanation for the increased interest in ghosts during the autumn months?
Just like the cyclic pattern of nature where there is a definite ebb and flow of energy, so it is the same with haunted encounters. Reports of ghost activity seem to have a pattern to it that coincides with the energy pattern of nature. There are periods of quiet followed by renewed activity just like the decay of leaves and the re-growth of them. Like clockwork the seasons come and go, and the energy the season brings with it also comes and goes with us hardly ever noticing the subtle changes in energy.
Do you feel more energized during a particular season or time of the day? Does the higher humidity and thicker atmospheric energy of summer reduce your sensitivity to perceive the other world? Do the colder temperatures of the winter keep you focused on trying to keep warm rather than noticing ghost activity? So, why can’t there be a pattern to ghost activity based on the ebb and flow of energy that makes it easier or more difficult for a ghost to manifest?
Calls requesting ghost investigations have usually followed a pattern. There have been a greater number of calls in the fall than at any other time of the year, followed next by the spring season. The cool, crisp autumn temperatures are energizing to most which, I believe, increases our sensitivity to subtle energy fields. The increase in activity is not because it’s the Halloween season. There is, however, a cyclic factor often forgotten that could be another possible reason for the increase in activity. Until modern times, the greater periods of focused energy and increased activity centered around the “fall” harvest season and the “spring” planting season. Ghosts relive memories. Therefore, the autumn would be a ripe time for ghost activity because of the emotionally charged memory of this important time of year.
We will never have a definitive answer but it is that exciting time of year again. So, ghost hunters sharpen your intuitive sense, dust off your cams, digital recorders, temperature gauges, and other equipment and head on down to the nearest haunted building. Tis the season for ghosts!
