Ghostly figures, shadows, ghostly lights, pained and twisted voices, sounds, and other phenomenon are common occurrences during a ghostly encounter. Ghosts are thought to be the spirits of deceased humans either trapped on this earth for what ever reason you choose to believe, or still attached to the earthly realm due to some unfulfilled earthly desire or desires.
A commonly accepted definition of a ghost is "the soul of a dead person, a disembodied spirit imagined, usually as a vague, shadowy or evanescent form, as wandering among or haunting living persons.
Many people believe that ghostly activity is around us every day, but we just do not see it. Some people have more ghostly encounters than others and the reason why is because they are either consciously more open to the finer realms or simply naturally endowed with the ability to see them. Those with a natural ability commonly have other psychic powers at their disposal. There are a fortunate few who can turn that power on and off at will.
Real ghosts often appear in different forms. Those that have had a haunting or encounter report anything from a solid looking form, a shadow, or a transparent smoky or misty mass of a full body apparition. Sometimes it is just the head or upper torso. Ghosts can be perceived by the living in a number of ways: through sight, sounds and voices, smells, occasionally touch, and often they are merely sensed.
Ghostly encounters often have one thing in common; a chilling or cold sensation on the skin, however it is important to remember that a natural response to fear is your hair raising up on the back of the neck or arms and this can be mistaken for the chill thought to be caused by an unseen entity.
One of the most important and yet inexpensive devices for catching evidence of a ghost is a digital thermometer. It is believed that an entity trying to manifest itself in some way sucks the energy out of the surrounding location, thus dropping the air temperature. If you or someone you know is having frequent bouts of these type of chilling sensations then by all means invest in a thermometer to test out whether the situation is real or imagined.
The reason most people get scared when they have a ghostly encounter is that the fear they feel is a natural response to the unknown. Rare are the cases of a ghost or spirit causing harm to a human being. They just don't have the power or desire to harm anybody. If you are having ghostly encounters and are afraid, ask yourself, what do I have to fear?
If yours is in fact one of those extremely rare cases where a spirit is causing bodily or mental harm by all means call a priest or a psychic who is studied in handling these type of things. They will guide you in the proper management of your situation. Paranormal activity can sometimes be frightening, but one should not fear ghosts. Ghosts should be studied with the thought of learning more about what happens to some souls upon physical death. With this knowledge it may then be possible to help the disembodied being move on to their proper place in the astral realm.
The consciousness of a human can get very attached to a specific location while living. It is thought that the spirit of that person may remain at that location for some time after physical death due to the personal feelings and desires of the individual. In most cases it seems they do move on after a number of years. It is during this time that the living sometimes have a run in with them.
It does not seem to be that a ghost really cares who is living in their location as long as the atmosphere is relatively calm without a lot of anger or other negative emotions generated by the current inhabitants. Often times ghostly encounters are reported after starting a remodeling project of the home. This activity somehow seems to disturb them, but once the project is complete the encounters generally die down.

Very well written.
I have had quite a few encouters myself and have written some of my stories out on a lens called "Ghostly Encounters". I too believe that for the most part, ghosts don't mean you any harm or care that you dwell with them. My encounters have been wierd and scary sometimes, but I wouldn't wish them away.:) You can read my stories at http://www.squidoo.com/ghostencounters
