Technically speaking, "mythology" is a collection of stories that serve as explanations of the workings of the world, but it has come to mean the historical legends and folklore of a society, including creation and gods.

The term is usually applied to the gods and goddesses such as "Greek Mythology", or "Norse mythology." Mythology consists of legends or stories that provide a common system of beliefs. The Greeks worshipped the gods of their mythology.

I'm often asked that question since I actively search for ghosts and spirit activity.

The easiest way is to remember that ghosts were once people too, and that not all ghosts are actually intelligent (meaning they can interact with you). Most aren't there to hurt you, and only are looking for attention. Our fear of the unknown and lots of scary movies scare us more than anything else.

There are 2 kinds of hauntings, intelligent and residual. Intelligent hauntings are such that a spirit has the capability of communicating and interacting with you. A spirit might move an object, say something, touch you, or do something else to let you know "they're here".

A residual haunting is like a video recording of the past, and theories are that's exactly what it is. Video devices record movies, music, sound, etc. by imprinting images and sound onto a media by magnetic or other means. Such things exist in nature as well - it's believed that certain minerals are more able to "record" past events than others, like crystals. It is believed that intense emotions in the area at the time of the event provided the power necessary to "record" the event into surrounding elements. When you see a ghost from a past event walk by you without acknowledging you, and it has been seen doing the same thing by others, it's just a previous even replaying itself over and over no matter what or who is there.

While there are malevolent spirits, the trick to avoiding them is not to do anything that will attract them. Stay away from Ouija boards - nothing good has ever come from using one. If you enter a place where they're at, you may not be able to avoid it, but many people can sense a bad area and don't tend to stick around to find out why.

Keep in mind too that some ghosts may be spirits of departed loved ones watching over you - it's not that uncommon. especially in cases where cremated remains are kept.

The point is, unless a ghost has done something malevolent, they're just trying to let you know they're there, and not much else. You can try and communicate, ignore them, or treat them as part of the family. Always remember though that it's your house, and if you don't want them there then tell them that.
