In a recent Colorado article about the haunted Tower of London, the writer talked about a Tower watchman who saw two ghostly figures. When the two figures vanished, the watchman wondered, ‘‘Was the past seeing the future or the future seeing the past?’’
That’s a good question.
When we encounter a ghost that’s not simply stored, residual energy, why do we assume that he or she is in our time?
Is it possible that we’re in a doorway–perhaps a vortex–and the “ghost” sees perceives us as a spirit, just as we declare that he or she is haunting our time period?
There are many instances when the ghost is someone who is visiting our time period for a specific reason. For example, the spirit may have unfinished business. The ghost may not realize that he or she has died, and is confused about what to do next.
But, there may be some instances–particularly in profoundly haunted locations–where the fourth dimension of time is transparent.
Or, both the ghost and the modern-day observer may both be at a spot where each can see into each other’s universe or time. (If that sounds vague or confusing, keep in mind that this is just a glimmer of an idea.)
In an episode of the BBC TV show, Torchwood, the “Captain Jack Harkness” episode includes a plot element that suggests another way for ghost hunters to experiment.
What if we don’t assume that ghosts are dead people lingering in (or visiting) our time period? What if we ask them to do something–leave a note, or move something specific–that we can find in our (later) time?
I’m not sure what would be necessary to suspend disbelief enough to actually witness the change or find the note that was requested. (I’m reminded of the line in the movie, Beetlejuice, in which the couple read that the living won’t see the dead.)
To many researchers, this may sound too fantastic. However, I think that it’s important to explore every possible theory and avenue of research.
If you encounter a particularly vivid spirit that may actually be in his or her own time period, ask them to leave a sign for you to find.
If that works, we’d love to hear about it.
Ok so I have movies of your subject and photos also and only camera can see them we can’t but they sure show up in a inferred camera several times and different sizes I live 8′ away from a cemetery and have video cameras running 24 7 and have see some startling things at my front door and I live up stairs and have them on my youtube account and if they live in the 4th dimension and know who I’ m because they see me ever day for the last 39 years so the feel comfort in showing up at my door They are some times a Ball of light and some time a light defused light sometimes 4 of them come from the cemetery to my side of the fence to my upstairs balcony they never cross the threshold and can remain their for hours just bouncing around and show up in the monitor the hole apartment came be to see for themselves what it was and sure enough they could only see them in the monitor not with their eyes and when they took photos with their camera phone’s they all showed up. Interesting.
This is the youtube link to my video camera taking photo’s of them the first and second are just photo’s of a ball of light under the stems and in the second photo is 2 of them coming from the cemetery to the apartment side and then them movie part is the light at my door step and all the people from or apartment building coming to examine the lights that they could not see it was their for hours and I just went back to bed they never came past the door it was open so what say you about these? Them come around often
