What is it like to be a ghost?

Answer 1

When you're dead, it feels like it did before you were born. When you were growing in your mother's womb, did you have any awareness? Well, that's probably what death feels like. Dying is a different issue altogether. I suppose you can feel yourself slowly slipping away. It is said that it is similar to walking through a dark tunnel with a light, an angel or God Himself at the end of the tunnel. But in those instances, it really wasn't the person's time to go, and he or she experienced a hallucination. Otherwise, that person wouldn't be around to tell about it. Death is just nothingness, no feelings, no sensation, and no awareness, like being in a coma or a very sound sleep.

Answer 2

Nobody living knows...

Or there is someone who is dead and can contact people, though this is very unlikely...

If you have had a near death experience or a prolonged out of body experience you may get an idea of what it is like to suddenly enter a world where you are alone and whilst you can see people around you there is no way to communicate.

In this state you may not realize that you are actually dead and carry on as before. If you were an elderly person living alone then life may be pretty much the same before you died. Things may change every now and then and you may wonder where these new people came from who are also living in the same house as you. You may resent their presence and try to persuade them to leave. Nobody can see or hear you. But wait, one of the members of the family can sense you. They can sense your frustration, shock and misery. You never did all the things you wanted to do and now you are stuck alone in this strange place that seems like a never ending dream.

Maybe you died suddenly or were a victim of a horrible crime. You may want to stay to see justice done. So you find the person or people who wronged you. Perhaps you do realize what has happened and are shocked. This isn't what they told you would happen?

Perhaps you died and have taken up residence in someone else's body and consciousness. You'd be surprised how many exorcisms (or correctly spirit releases) are from dead people rather than the demonic or other entities.

One day a group of strangers enter the house. They carry strange equipment and sensors which they place around the house an in your favorite rooms where you spend most of your time. They stay there all night looking at their monitors hoping to see something interesting. A couple of days later they leave and you are somewhat agitated by their presence. Your feelings towards the family in the house become negative.

Months later you notice somebody else talking. They are talking to you. How can this be? Are they also dead? Maybe they can help you or maybe they want something from you. They identify themselves as a priest and are threatening you with words of redemption and casting out devils. After they have finished you become very annoyed with the family who live in your house. Your anger is felt everywhere and you take it out on the most sensitive members of the family.

When you have just given up hope a voice speaks softly to you. This time it feels different. This person is offering to help you. They feel genuine and loving. Something you haven't experienced in a long time. Soon they bring people who you know or angels to take you to a better life. Thank you. Thank goodness there is kindness still left in the world.

These lyrics may give some insight:

Haunted House

I can't seem to leave my house

It's as if I am living in a dream

The last thing I remember well

Was trying to stay warm in the freeze.

Who are these people who have moved in?

A family who I see night and day

Using my kitchen and bathroom things

But they can't seem to hear a word I say

This is my house that you are living in

I paid the mortgage for twenty years

Now they have come with their kids

And I am stuck alone with my tears.

Hello, you are looking right at me

Why don't you see me here?

I've been shouting in your face all day long

But you seem to be totally unaware.

The little one can see me sometimes

She looks at me with dread and fear

She tells her parents who don't want to know

That the ghost in their house is standing near

So they brought in a priest who threatened me

He told them I was a demon from hell

Throwing water and chanting his words

It had no effect as far as I can tell.

I just want someone to listen to me

For I want my family to know

That I'm sorry for all the bad things

And I deeply love them so.

I will go to any means to make myself be heard

When they sleep I pull them and shake

I talk to them in their astral state

But their memories fail when they awake

What have I done to these people?

I have scared them all away

They eventually left the house

And another family has come to stay.

And so it repeats itself

The endless existence of my life

Doomed to be trapped inside this house

Watching another husband and wife

Then one day when I had given up hope

Two men came to the door

They were not priests or mediums

But something I had not seen before.

They walked around the house until they were close

Then one of them spoke to me and said

That I was to move on from this place

As it had been ten years and I was actually dead.

One, only a ghost knows. Two, ghost aren't real, therefore the feeling of being a ghost is non-existant. And three, if there were one, it probably wouldn't be a good thing to know.
