G H O S T ! ! !

If i Google the word ghost this what i get.....

* A ghost is said to be the apparition of a deceased person, frequently similar in appearance to that person, and usually encountered in places she or he frequented, the place of his or her death, or in association with the person's former belongings. The word "ghost" may also refer to the spirit or soul of a deceased person, or to any spirit or demon *

Now my question is can i believe this ? is there such ? life after death? spirit?
Proudly born as an Hindu, i grew up with this believes. Grandma stories, books, even in the religion there is believe of life after death.... but how true all this??

Going further regarding ghost in Hinduism, Hinduism teaches that ghosts are people without physical bodies, the souls of people who died before their time, typically by tragedy. When the physical life ends prematurely with the passing of the first body called the gross body, the person will remain in an ethereal state in the second body called the subtle body, until the remaining time of the life is complete and an entirely new body can be inhabited.

When we were young, I'm sure most of us were exposed to this ghost stories from the adults. I was staying in navy base since small. Growing up in a Malay culture i guess my first ghost story when i was 3 years old.

"adik jangan naik lift soran-sorong ke tingkat 13. Ada hantu." grrrr from that day onwards i didn't go to the 13th floor alone.





Recently i found a website call Ghost Study, here i found out an interesting article regarding types of Ghost. Below is some of the type ........

Ectoplasm, Ecto-mist, vapor, ghostly mist

Appearance & Characteristics: Cloudy vaporous mistThe term was originally used to describe the substance that oozed from spirit mediums during a séance from days gone by. It is now associated and referred to as a mist or fog, and it usually displays a swirl effect within a vaporous cloud. It normally appears several feet off the ground and can linger or travel quickly at will. It's usual colors are gray, white or black but has also been seen and photographed in several other colors. Ecto has been caught on both video & all types of cameras. It's important to note however, that a camera can inadvertently create this effect artificially in cold weather by a person exhaling to close to the lens when taking the picture. The exhaled breath looks similar to ectoplasm but without the swirls. Oh, and we certainly don't want to be smoking during a ghost hunt for obvious reasons.

Locations spotted: All locations but most generally spotted outdoors and most particularly at cemeteries, battlefields & historical sites.

Speculations: Believed by many to be the soul or spirit of those that have passed on from this life. It has been speculated that the spirit will transform to this vaporous state before appearing as a full-bodied apparition.


Vortex, funnel ghosts

Appearance & Characteristics: A vortex is a very strange and mysterious phenomena. They usually take on the appearance of a swirling funnel shape when moving about. They can also appear in pictures as being long and narrow and having a tread like design within their body. They are readily confused with a speeding orb when they slow down and take on this straight & narrow look. It's not presently known if a vortex has ever been captured on video tape. It should be noted that they are often felt as a cold spot.

Locations spotted: They are most often spotted inside homes & old buildings. At times they can also be spotted outdoors but that is very rare.

Speculations: There are many theories as to what voices are exactly, including a visiting relative or a former resident of the home. It is also believed by some that it is a vehicle to transport spirits in the shape of orbs from their realm to ours.


well there's a lot of theories, story and research of this "ghost" thing. Some of them have the prof such as video shooting or a photo. But how true is their prof? No one can answer this rite? Well i guess this "ghost" topic will only be answered if the person experiences it. Believe it or not up to the individual..... For me..... yes of course as i experiences few.

Last Monday, i came back from my hometown reach KL around 9pm. Brought "karuvadu Curry" with Fish Sambal from home. after dinner, we (my housemates) chit chat until 2am. Time to sleep, got to go to work the next day. I'm sharing a room with Raje. I was restless that nite unable to sleep well. I woke up suddenly @ 3:20am, i saw a figure near the window, first i taught i was my room mate talking to her mobile..then i realised my roommate was sleeping, ahhhhh, i just turn myself to other side,pretend didn't see anything, few seconds later i turn back to my roomate, myyy god.... the figure that i saw was playing with my roommate' s toe.... i get panic don't know what to do.... I called my roommate... "Raji...raji....." She responded. Then I asked her 1 stupid question " R u sleeping? Ur phone is ringing". By the time i ask this question the figure lost ... Then i turn back and sleep thinking this all over..... I was wrong.... I turn back to my friend again, this time the figure looking @ me, smiling and calling me...... MY GOD...this is freaking...... i close my eyes hope all this will end sooon......
