Recently I have been watching a reality show called “怪谈 (guai tan)” which mean strange talk (direct translation). This show is all about ghost. Well, basically there’s a group of Hongkongese who travels around Asia to experience ghost. Some of the stories inside are quite interesting. But we never know whether they are real or just faking.
Anyway, are ghost real?… Do they really exist?… What are they?…
Spirit or soul of a deceased person, or to any spirit or demon, they are referring to the word ghost.
As for me, myself I do believe that such thing exist. It just that maybe they exist in a different dimension. According to Bruce A. Moen, ghosts are just human beings not having physical bodies. Ghosts can be amicably, creepy, sharp, foolish and everything in between, but they’re just people like you and me. We are all multidimensional beings which exist in more “places” than we can see each other with our physical eyes. Most of us have little or no consciousness of our existence before entering this level of physical world perception and we’d also limit awareness of our existence beyond this world. The motive or cause for some of us can be aware of a ghost is because its interest is focused at the level of human consciousness.
Ghost may not be alert that they’re dead. Therefore, they stay close to common environs and community. Some of them are aware of their death, but puzzled about their next step. And some may have a message they want to present to someone that is still living in the physical world. That is the main focus of interest which keeps them here and brings them to your consciousness.
While watching Hayate no Gotoku, I came through the word Doppelgänger. The frightful image seen at the window, or staring back from the mirror, could be your own–a double, or doppelgänger (from the German for “double goer”), the sight of which could foretell your own imminent demise. Sometimes described as the soul embodied, sometimes an astral projection or aura, the double most often presented itself as a warning. On other occasions, a double — of someone else – -could be called forth or seen. It is said that Abraham Lincoln himself saw his own Doppelgänger before he die.
Is this all real or just something from Hollywood horror films would have us believe?
