GHOST PROJECT

What is a Ghost?

There are many meanings associated with the word ghost. Of course the most common is that a ghost is the Spirit or soul of a person who is no longer living. This is correct however; there are many types of ghosts. There are those known as residual or repeaters. These ghosts are the type that is always seen doing the same thing or follow a particular pattern. It is not yet known if these types of ghosts represent the presence of a true Spirit in the house or area or if they are just caused by a sort of psychic video caught in time. This is the reason for hearing stories involving ghostly cars, airplanes or trains.

This photo is the famous "Lord Combermere Photograph", which was first published in 1895. It gained almost instant fame among psychic researchers and remains a mystery to this day. This photo was taken by Miss Sybell Corbett in December 1891 while staying with her sister at Combermere Abbey in Cheshire, England (see below).

The second of course is having an actual aware Spirit. These Spirits are active and do not always follow patterns. Therefore it makes them less able to predict. This is the soul of a person who for what ever reason has not gone on yet. We also have heard many stories of people having encounters with Angels. While these do not exactly qualify as ghosts they are Spirits but may not be of people who have lived. The same is said of what is referred to as demons. I do not believe these to be common. I think more likely what someone may call a demon is actually an unhappy Spirit. When we pass on we will carry our same personality we have with us in life. In a sense our essence will not change. Just as there are disagreeable people we meet in life, there will be disagreeable Spirits we will encounter. Some people believe all ghosts to be evil. I know this is not so. Just because a person does, not for whatever reason, go on after death does not make them evil or mean they are here to do harm.

The ghost sitting on the chair is Lord Combermere. The strangest thing about the photo was that, at the time it was taken, Lord Combermere was attending a funeral at the local churchyard in Wrenbury, a few miles away. The funeral was his own! Lord Combermere had been killed a few days earlier in a road accident in London.
