All the Attributions
Countless numbers of people create their own ideas about what ghosts are, their characteristics, and what they do.
Come explore these common attribtions constantly make about ghosts and find out if these are some things you too believe in.
There are many attributions made about ghosts, from what they are to what happens when you see one.
The most common beliefs are the ones most people are not sure about.
One of them is that they are made up of a misty, airy, subtle material, and even if we never know if ghosts are made up a certain material, anthropoligists think that this belief may have come from the early beliefs that a ghost was a person within a person who died, their soul or spirit, which might have actually created some ghost-related words like pneuma, from Greek, and spiritus, from Latin, which can mean "the soul".
This idea may have actually originated from how a person's breath appears as a white mist in extremely cold weather, sort of like what people explain when they think they've seen a ghost.
Additionally, ghosts are mostly thought of as spirits of dead people looking for revenge for something that happened to them when they were living or who were imprisoned on Earth for doing something bad.
This is usually the case in traditional accounts of ghosts, so this is possibly what you have thought about ghosts since you first heard about them.
This is not always the case, though because people think that some ghosts may have stayed on Earth because they chose to. They might have felt like they hadn't lived long enough or don't want to leave their friends and families behind.
After reading these sentences, I bet you are now reconssidering all of the ghosts stories you have heard over the years. You are probably now saying to yourself, "Oh, so maybe that story I heard about that lady that died and haunted that house was wrong. Maybe she didn't stay to haunt all the people who annoyed her when she was alive. Maybe she just thought she wasn't ready to stop living."
Anyways, one last attribution made about ghosts are that seeing one is an omen of death, so what I'm hearing from this one is that if someone from your family or one of your friends die and comes back to visit, that mean your going to die too?
Even if I think this common belief is the most rediculus yet, I guess it can be interpreted in different ways, like if you see a murder victiim you never knew, so what this belief most likely means is that if some evil spirit or victim of an act of violence comes knocking on your door, you should watch out.
Have you ever heard of seeing your "ghostly double", though?
Well, seeing a "you" in ghost form is also considered an omen of death.
Also called a "fetch", if you see your spirit-self wondering around in front of you, well, that most likely isn't a good sign for your future, so your on your own with that one.
So, as you can see, people think tons of ideas about ghosts.
Do we know if what people think about ghosts is true? No, and even if we never know the truth, people will keep thinking these ideas for years to come.
