It has been awhile since my last post. Due to rapidly changing circumstance, life has lessen the amount of spirits I'm currently exposed to on a regular basis. Occasionally a picture or two gets shared with me.
The consensus seems to be that you have to be where others have said a ghost has been for someone to have an "experience". Spirits and Angels walk among us, they always have. Wherever you are, so are they; some are watching, some want to participate in life.
Many a ghost story has an underlying love story of someone who would sacrifice everything for another. In death, they become the ghost story, the ghost story of the man or women that returns for that which holds their focus of thought and emotion. Usually ill fated or unrequited the emotion that evokes such pinpoint focus is all that consumed them in life. The imprint of this obsession upon their very soul became the thought that would drive the focus of their afterlife.
On occasion spirits still come through my life. There is so many ways that they indicate their presence that it is all not as cut and dry as in seeing a ghost.
There is ghosts where I live, in the area. The land has been part of the heritage of the south since 1696 when it became part of a vast plantation. The first owner used a portion of land as a dowry for his daughter Sarah. She was eventually wed to a young man, Edward Lightwood. The two had built a house somewhere on the land here that had burned around the time of the American Revolution. The land became unable to produce any of the forms of local agriculture, so Edward decided to raise cattle. There is a ghost story here on the island about the six American Cowboys. These six spirits where former ranchers that cared for the cattle when the land failed to produce crop. They still ride the land those cowboys; six male figures on horseback. Pickpocket way it was called for its lack of producing a marketable crop of any sort.
During the 1780's when the American Revolution found its way to Charleston this part of the island from time to time felt the boots of the British marching to retrieve the colony for king George of England.
Besides the fact that slavery was alive and well during this time in our country's history. Cruelty was a daily reality for many of the persons suffering from involuntary servitude. The various acts of desperation and debauchery also has contributed to the inundation of spirits that remain.
Now a days, there have been a couple of neighbors whose soul left their bodies and found that they could not return. One stayed for Christmas with family and moved on. The other just moved on.
You ever heard "you are who you run with" the same is true about spirits. Surround yourself with that which is positive, the negative out here, is, well negative. There is in present day a crematorium just up the street from me.
As earlier stated Spirits and Angels walk among us they always have. They always will some remain forever lost in the bottomless emotion that swirled them in. Others with stay for a awhile but once what they stayed for has rectified, that spirit is moving onto to the next stage of spiritual existence. Where will your spiritual transition take you? Will you immediately move on or will you stop for what or who you leave behind.
