Everyone assumes that ghosts are hostile.

Actually, most of them are not. 

You either believe in the existence of ghosts or you don’t. It depends on whether you’ve encountered something supernatural or not. ‘Seeing is believing’ as the saying goes. But when you share a home with several companionable spirits, or discover benign ghosts in public places who appear as real as any living person, scepticism is abandoned and the myth that ghosts are to be feared is realised as nonsense.

A genuine Medium or Spiritualist will not need to demand, “Is there anyone there?” but will immediately notice a presence and simply offer a welcoming, “Hello.”

Here in North Devon, spirits from the past might be encountered where they would be expected – on battle sites, in old pubs and inns, walking the corridors of old houses or lingering on the dockside where tall ships once dropped anchor. But they can also be found beside busy roads, strolling along quiet country lanes, and even keeping an eye on a modern car park. And lingering spirits are not limited to people, for animals remain among us as well. It is comforting to know that our loved ones – human and pets – are, in some way, still with us.

Whether you believe in the supernatural or not is a matter for individual consideration, but for those who have the gift to see, hear or be aware of people from the past, meeting with them in today’s environment can generate a connection to years gone by. Those who came before us and who chose to remain among us, whether strangers or relatives and ancestors, are to be welcomed, not feared.

Kathy and Mum Helen Hollick, have come across several such departed souls; in  GHOST ENCOUNTERS: The Lingering Spirits Of North Devon, mother and daughter share their personal experiences, dispelling the belief that spirits are to be feared. Everyone assumes that ghosts are hostile. Actually, most of them are not. 

Ghost Encounters will fascinate all who enjoy this beautiful region of rural South-West England, as well as interest those who wish to discover more about its history... and a few of its ghosts.

I opened this blog to compliment the book 'Ghost Encounters' of North Devon with the view of adding any additional sightings of 'ghosts' in my area of North Devon (or beyond!). So far, I've been concentrating on promoting the book (it's doing well, thank you for asking!) but I'd now like to expand this blog to feature anything interesting regarding our friends 'on the other side'

I'm not interested in the fake scary stuff that they trot out on TV. 

Most genuine mediums or seers know perfectly well that 'ghosts' (or whatever description you prefer to use) are perfectly benign. 

So leave a comment below if you'd like to - oh and I'd really appreciate some more reviews/comments on Amazon  https://viewauthor.at/HelenHollick for the book!

A general question/opinion

I believe that the majority of spirits/ghosts are benign - basically either friendly or indifferent to us - and most are as unaware of 'us' as most of 'us' are of them ...

Do you agree, or what is the opposite fascination (especially on TV) for believing most ghosts are hostile?
