This quote from Louis L’Amour resonated with me on many levels.
Yes, if you believe quantum theories about parallel realities, it’s easy to see a connection with the Mandela Effect.
But, as a ghost hunter I wonder: What if some ghosts aren’t dead at all?
I’ve speculated about this before.
So have other ghost hunters, though they may not be as outspoken as I am. (Rosemary Guiley was among them.)
Many times, it’s seemed to me that what we detect as a ghost is actually alive and well… but in a parallel reality. Perhaps a world that – in our reality – is in our past.
It’s a complex tangle to consider, because we’d have to dismiss our usual views of time and how it flows.
Despite that, many of us have had ghostly encounters that can’t be explained any other way. It’s not just the entity that we sense at the haunted site, but an entire realm.
I’m not sure that explains the recurring procession of Anne Boleyn (headless or not) in the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula.
However, there are many other examples that suggest we’re not witnessing anything ghostly, but something that’s happening at that very moment, and – for reasons unknown – its resonance is affecting us in a different timeline.
Is this a radical idea? Yes. But, obviously, others have considered it, too. Including author Louis L’Amour.
I believe people will consider with increasing seriousness as we understand the quirks of quantum forces, and how they intersect with paranormal encounters.
Well, I’m not sure if this will support your theory or contradict it…but I actually died once and became a ghost. I didn’t immediately go to a parralel world. I was able to levitate, fly through walls, and could go places just by thinking about being there. Over time I gradually became more solid and less ghost like. So I went back to living and brushed it off as a really weird near death experiences. Then years later my brother and my uncle started asking me how I “got out” of where they had put me. It seems they became fearful when they had neglected to report that I had died so they his my body in some kind of space or chamber they found under a water pump where my uncle and I had been staying. Only I was never aware of being in any such chamber or water pump. I remember I died and was a ghost and gradually became physical again. So I’m not sure how all that fits your theory or not.
Johnny, that’s a bizarre experience, and I hope you didn’t just brush off how your brother and uncle hid your body rather than reporting the incident to authorities.
While your journey into an afterlife (of sorts) sounds credible and similar to what others have reported during near-death experiences and short-term “deaths” (during a medical operation, for example), it seems neither here nor there in terms of parallel realities.
Well… maybe. I’m not sure. There is SO much we don’t understand yet.
It is very intriguing, and I’m glad you shared it here. Thank you! I’ll keep it in mind as more evidence emerges, hopefully helping us understand these kinds of experiences.
