Ghost Stories And Creatures Of The Night

Ghosts (Phi) are alive and well in Thailand. More than 60,000 unconfirmed deaths have been reported and the owners of the property, construction workers and maintenance staff, and paranormal investigators have claimed one can see unnatural lights and phantasms darting around the premises at night.

Medieval Europe believed on two types of ghosts namely the souls of the dead and demons. Ghosts are portrayed as having a semi-transparent, unspecific form, loosely resembling the person they once were. To ghost stories combat this proliferation of evil spirits Thailand has its own special kind of "Ghost Buster", the Mho Phi or ghost doctor.

The end result was a $5.5 million dollar haunted mansion, with a number of bizarre design features intended to confuse the malevolent ghosts - doors to nowhere, vaults within vaults, windows that opened up to blank walls, trap doors, secret hallways, and staircases that lead to ceilings.

Spirits are the energies of deceased loved ones and friends who have died and gone into the Light. There is something that grips us while someone begins to spin the tale for us, we'll sit quietly while our hearts beat faster and faster, more than willing to go along with the storyteller whether we believe in ghosts or not.

In many cases, the ghost story involves some unresolved conflict within the family, which the ghost is striving to resolve in order to find peace. Furthermore, nerve cells in the bones of a skull, have probably retained historical data of a dead person's past life.

For me as a family historian, the final act of the mystery concerns the death of Arundel Everett, some seventeen years after he and his family fled from the haunted house. Many conventional beliefs report, ghosts as souls of the dead lodging on earth either for taking vengeance or incarcerated for the bad things they did during their existence.

Disembodied voices of several spirits were caught on tape - examples of electronic voice phenomena. One of the children, Emilie, who was the baby of the family at the time, saw a strange man on the stairs, and the older children also saw strange things that could not be accounted for.
