Читать книгу Meeting Place of the Dead - Richard Palmisano - Страница 8

Visions of terrible things creeping around in the shadows, in closets, and under beds can play havoc on your nerves. Things that should now be dead and gone but still linger, just out of sight, bring thoughts of “What do they want?“ and “Are they going to get me?” to the forefront of your mind.

Most of our ideas of what ghosts and spirits are is formed in our early, impressionable years by television, movies, and stories told around the kitchen table or camp fire. It’s when reality meets imagination that the real terror starts.

However, the majority of things banging about in the middle of the night or, for that matter, even the middle of the day, are at first glance horrifying, but then reason sets in, followed by the realization that most of these ghosts are not so very scary at all.

They are people like you and I, only removed from their physical body. They may be deceased relatives or strangers whose old home we have just moved into and now call our own. Many of these ghosts have a story to tell; some are trying to voice an opinion on what you may be doing in or to their last place of residency; and others just want us to acknowledge that they exist. But for whatever reason ghosts exist, it is fascinating and life changing to discover that life continues well beyond our physical tenor in this plane of existence. But until we break down our old, preconceived ideas of what ghosts are, our encounters with them will always cause fear.

I would like to tell you that the story you are about to read is not scary at all, but that would be untrue, just like I would like to say that there are not bad things, evil things, lurking out there … because there are.
