As matter beings, we are all energy beings on the quantum level. We are made up of atoms and neutrons. As matter/energy beings we have intelligence.
While we live, we have an energy aura that surrounds our living bodies. This aura is created by the millions of electrical currents that are created through
our bodies. Our brains creates brain waves, a form of pure energy that is transmitting our thoughts, what we see, what we feel, etc.
When our mortal form dies, the aura that constantly surrounds our bodies, leaves our bodies. We lose 6 ounces on the instance of death.
What is this 6 ounces? Perhaps it is energy leaving our body. Our soul. This energy, the aura, or you may even call it your soul, is carrying
the information of what we used to be. If it can do this, then why couldn’t it also carry our intelligence? If it can carry our former intelligence of
our previous life, then it should be able to interact with us intelligently. When we see this aura, we call it a ghost. If this ghost is able to interact with us,
is aware of us, can touch us, can communicate with us, then this is an intelligent/interactive haunting.
Reasons the ghost may be Earthbound:
Died as a result of a traumatic event, murder, car accident, etc.
Due to unfinished business.
The spirit may have died suddenly and not realized he/she died.
The living loved ones are so emotionally distraught they can’t let go.
The spirit is emotionally connected to their loved ones.
They cannot rest due to an injustice done to them.
Fear of the other side or The Judgment.
There are some individuals in this world who can see, hear or sense the presence of an Earthbound Spirit,
such as Mary Ann Winkowski, whose paranormal experiences are the basis for CBS's Ghost Whisperer
or James Van Praagh, a clairvoyant and spiritual medium.
Jennifer Love Hewitt portrayed Melinda Gordon, a gifted and sometimes tormented young woman in the series.
People such as these help the Spirits of Earthbound people cross over into the Afterlife.
