Ghosts - Jill Lane

November 2011

I really don't know very much about ghosts at all; we all read stories of people coming across them . . . I wonder if ghosts tell each other they came across a human; what would they say about us?

Maybe I should join the very active group, the Bi-ops. Who is prepared to join the Bi-ops with me? We could go and investigate the paranormal, visit a haunted castle, explore the shades, join them in their shadows . . . are they earthly shadows, or are they really the spirits of ghosts?

Now can we find out if spirits of dead people really are residing in the underworld amongst the shadows; how can we even find out, if the shades are allegedly unseen? How come they are reported to appear in photos, and when buildings are exorcised the clothes of the ghosts are described?

I wonder why people are scared of seeing a ghost. I would love to meet a ghost (as long as it was a nice ghost!)

I could ask my ghost the answer to the questions, but then I suppose he would disappear through the brick wall to avoid telling me!
