 DEFINITION

angels
apparition
This is a ghost who interacts with the living, either for better or worse. These are the spirits who can playfully hide objects, sit on your bed and frighten you awake, throw sharp objects, or plea for help. Apparitions such as these are thought to be held over in this world because of unfinished business or due to a violent death and need help from the living to resolve their issues before passing on to the next realm. This is considered “intelligent” haunting because the ghosts appear to be aware of the people around them as well as their surroundings.
apport
a physical manifestation of something with symbolic significance to the ghost.
astrology
aura
A colored outline, or set of contiguous outlines, emanating from the surface of an object. This outline is the spiritual aura or “life force” which surrounds each living thing




banshee

black art
blessing of the heart
 Inviting an ordained priest or minister into the house and have it blessed, will make an earthbound ghost very lethargic and laid back. You will definitely see an improvement. However, it will not make the ghost leave, unless it has only been there a very short period of time. DO NOT obtain holy water and sprinkle it around on your own that will only make the ghost angry. It is all right if an ordained priest or minister uses holy water, but not a lay person. After the service the results will be immediate and last for a month or so.
clairvoyant
a form of extra sensory perception which denotes the transference of information about an object, location or physical event through means other than the known human senses. A person said to have the ability of clairvoyance is referred to as a clairvoyant.

demonic possession in supernatural belief systems, is a form of spiritual possession whereby certain malevolent extra-dimensional entities, demons, gain control over a mortal person's body, which is then used for an evil or destructive purpose. Unlike in channeling or other benign forms of possession, the subject has no control over the possessing entity and so it will persist until forced to leave the victim, usually through a form of exorcism. An example of demonic possession is dramatized in the motion picture, "The Exorcist".

mugwort/dreams
When a ghost crosses over you can have a conversation with that person in a dream. Everyone dreams, but not everybody remembers their dreams. An herb called mugwort can help to clarify your dreams and also to help you to remember them.Make a sachet with one or two teaspoons of the mugwort. Then place the sachet between your pillow and pillowcase. In about three weeks you will start remembering your dreams. If there is some one special that you would like to talk to, say before you fall asleep” if I dream of (their name) tonight we will talk. Repeat that each night until you have the dream, this works really well. This is not recommended for children.

smudging
 This is a Native American ceremony that burns a smudge stick, made out of sage, sweet grass, or a combination of dried plants.
The resulting smoke is fanned around the perimeter of each room in the house.This will make an earthbound ghost very lethargic and laid back. This will make a definite difference in your house.
It will not make an earthbound ghost angry to do this. If you smudge on a regular basis once every three or four weeks, an earthbound ghost will eventually leave, but you have to be persistent. This will also help reduce negative energy in a house.
You should be able to find smudge sticks at some health food stores, some book stores, or any good metaphysical shop. Follow the instructions in the package, or ask for instructions from where you purchase the smudge stick.
