Did you know whole towns can be haunted?

Did you know whole towns can be haunted?It says it can happen right here:

Towns

Ghost towns are abandoned areas that are not necessarily haunted. A haunted town, however, is an entire town plagued by the undead, such as the town of Cahaba in Alabama.

I got this information right here: Paranormal Hotspots, Ghostly World
 

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Where? Cahaba only has Folklore in specific areas like it's garden maze.

Not the whole town.

The website I went to got it wrong then.:)

My husband occasionally travels to a small Alabama town for his job, so I checked online to find out how far Cahaba is from that town, and it's about two and a half hours away. I think that the next time I go with him to Alabama, I will go see Cahaba for myself, and if it's possible, I'll conduct a paranormal investigation while I'm there and post the results in a thread either the same day or the next day.

I'm pretty sure the whole world is "haunted" (infused with Sprirts). For instance how many millions/billions of person's and animals have died here?

... or the whole universe.
Even aliens in every corner of the universe that die a tragic death probably end up as ghosts. lol. Who knows.

Wouldn't we (some) be seeing some of our earliest ancestors if such was the case - including Neanderthals and all other such, for example? :oops:

Yes, there are human spirits everywhere, and the only difference between us and the human spirits all around us is that they are dead and we are still alive. There are also non-human spirits that can be seen in certain places, and sometimes they can be seen in places that they aren't normally. Although the majority of the living cannot see human spirits or other spirits, their bodies will still react to them. I sometimes refer to myself as a "ghost radar" because as a medium I frequently attract human spirits wherever I go and the occasional non-human spirit. I don't mind it anymore because I'm used to it, but I'm discreet when I'm out in public. I don't want people to think I'm simply standing there talking to myself. I can't remember how many times I've quietly whispered, "Not now!" while I'm in a crowded restaurant or while I'm shopping in a busy store. It's also difficult to avoid this happening to me when I'm in a hospital, a nursing home, or when I'm attending a funeral in a funeral home or at a cemetery. I experience the same thing most of the time at a well-known haunted site or a historical site, such as a Civil War battlefield. But this is my life every single day, and it is what it is. I've been able to see human spirits since I was 6 years old, and I was 21 when I saw my first non-human spirit. My very supportive husband once asked me if I ever got a break, and I told him not really. I can't turn it off, so I've accepted it and adapted my life to it.

The standard belief among more serious spiritual/paranormal people is that ghost are temporary states of those who still feel some unfinished earthly ambition. It is a temporary state and the majority are never in that state in the first place. Often ghosts are those who 'need to get an afterlife', lol

So those who describe the clothing of any ghosts are lying?

Not sure what you're getting at. No one's bothering to lie, that's for sure. Typical ghosts wear clothing of the type they imagine themselves in when alive. In contrast to the physical plane astral people can change their clothes by thought,

Yes, you are correct, George. Human spirits typically project themselves as they last perceived themselves before they died, and this includes the clothing that they remember to be most closely associated with their identity in life. For instance, I've seen the spirits of soldiers who were dressed in their uniforms, as well as other spirits who were dressed as was customary at the time of their passing.

So the immaterial spirits can somehow materialise clothing or give the appearance as to such? No problems with this? For example, the spirits deceiving any viewer - by choosing however they want to be presented. Unless one believes that truth and honesty are rulers in the afterlife. :oops:

Yes, they choose the clothes they appear in with intelligent hauntings. With residual hauntings they appear as they did when the repeating event took place. And, yes, deception is possible too.

The evidence comes from witnesses and those alleged to have beyond the norm psychic/clairvoyant insight to the beyond the physical.

Or you can believe it is all lies and imagination/illusions which wears thin as an explanation to me after reviewing many strong cases including those with multiple witnesses and physical phenomena.
 
Yes, I get reports from the public that Palm Bay Florida and Melbourne Florida are very haunted. People keep seeing ghosts in the region.

Like intelligent ghosts or residual hauntings? I've heard of the haunted battlefields in...I think Virginia. So why not a town? Makes sense.
