Fri, 23 October 2009 In this HollowHill.com podcast, Fiona Broome answers several questions from readers.Q. Is ghost hunting related to some religion or faith?
A. No. Some groups are formed by members of one faith, church, temple,
coven/circle or grove. However, ghost hunting -- in general -- isn't
related to any specific set of spiritual beliefs.
Also, remember that TV shows & movies -- and the public ghost tours and events that emulate them -- are not the best resource for questions about spirituality. Simply: Don't look for spiritual answers in the entertainment field. Q. Is there really a "witching hour"?
A. Traditionally, the witching hour is midnight. There's also a
tradition that 3 a.m. is Satan's time. Are they accurate? Fiona
explains that neither of those have relevance to ghost hunting, and
talks about her favorite times for ghost hunting.
Q. I was at a ghost tour (or a ghost hunt, or saw a movie about a haunting, or a TV show, or a website that claims that ghosts travel through Internet and phone connections). Now, I think a ghost is in my home (or business, or car). Is that possible?
A. In this part of the podcast, Fiona explains that your home or office
may be haunted. However, it's not likely that the ghost followed you
home or arrived via your TV, phone or Internet connection. Music: Zombie, by Devin AndersonRelated link: HollowHill.com Comments[0] |
