- 20. RESEARCH OF TOPIC – SPIRTS/ HAUNTING
- 21. What does it mean to be haunted? There are many definitions: • Having or showing excessive or compulsive concern with something • Showing emotional affliction or disquiet • Inhabited by or as if by apparitions
- 22. Sanel Why Do Spirit Haunt People? G •Some spirits haunt their previous home. They feel comfortable existing in the same house that it once inhabited. Some spirits choose to follow a familiar person or a family member. •The spirit may now exist with the feeling of fear because it doesn't know what to do. It usually doesn't intend to scare the living, it is just haunted by fear of the unknown. •A spirit who feels it was had lived an evil life when it was alive, may seek out like-minded evil living people because it feels a kinship to the negative feeling. •Even though those spirits may appear evil, they are just frightened. They often scare the living in order to get attention. They are seeking help, asking someone to rescue them and guide them to the light. •The transition that follows physical death is not final until the thought pattern that holds them earthbound is released and they can see the God light.
- 23. Sanel What type of things can happen to you G when your haunted? • You may feel cold • They might watch what your doing • They can leave marks on your body • They can play around with things e.g. Switching on the light or opening the tele. • They can play tricks on you. • They can throw things at you. • Might make freaky noises • They can touch you • Sudden changes in mood or behaviour

Here are those 9 types… • Guardian angels • Lost souls • Are we dead yet? • Unfinished business • Self-appointed guardian angels • Wasting time between lives • Messengers • Still living
- 26. Kaya Guardian angels It is know that everyone has at least one guardian angel. They are your own ‘Guard’ throughout your whole life. They are usually some kind of relation to you that died before you were born. Most of the time you won't know who they are or were. They watch over your entire life and help you out through the rough and dangerous times. For example, they're the little voice telling you not to take your usual route the day a huge pile-up happens on the motorway.
- 27. Kaya Lost Souls These are spirits who know they're dead but don't know where to go. They can also fear moving on and are afraid to leave what's known to them. They linger around until the day comes when they're ready to leave.
