What causes ghosts?
There’s a lot of debate about why there might be ghosts. I don’t think anyone is going to ever know that answer for sure, but I hold to the belief that there are different sorts of spirits that come about through different sets of circumstances.
There’s the traumatic death spirit. Say you’re involved in a semi truck accident, or murdered, or fall down the stairs or something like that. That’s a very violent death and could cause leave some unresolved issues that will have you sticking around.
Other spirits I believe stay around because they feel an obligation, like my grandfather, who likes to watch out for us, offer advice and keep the munchkin company while he sleeps.
I think there are others who don’t realize that they’ve died, and may stay around because they missed the way to cross over, and in many cases they repeat what they’ve been doing in life over and over.
