I'm rather confused about the facts of ghosts/spirits just haunting a house because it was my understanding that neither one of those could appear unless they were called up; either purposefully or accidentally but always called. Or perphaps they were just not visible until then.  |

That would be very blissful only if it were true. Ofcourse you can call out an spirit and it may choose to stay but there are the spirits we call ghosts. They are the souls of the people left behind or of those who stayed. And there are two sorts of ghosts - the concious ones and the unconceous ones. You see the first ones have chosen to stay back or are left here for some reasons I've already discussed on the board, and they use their knowledge and their powers to feed on peoples fears or to contact them. And then there are the second ones - the ones that have lingered but know not of that. They are the ones that tend to materialise a lot but they don't see you, they don't know that they're dead. They are most often seen doing their common doings of their living time. By that I mean that if a ghost can be 'brought' to the house only by calling it, it should know of its state and what's going on, for you must contact it and aski it to come. In one word - ghosts are mostly the souls that have wanted to stay or who just can't get to the other side. I hope my mess cleared up yours at the least for a tad bit  Ophelia |

But isn't summoning caused by a paticular facet of thought. could a stray thought be enough to summon one on accident.

As I said, indeed thought is the greatest force of a human and is most definetly enough to summon a spirit or make it stay either conceously or not but it is not the only way. Spirits may choose to stay or be left here aswell. What I am trying to say is that your theory is not wrong but it is not the only one Ophelia |

Do ghosts have fun? Do ghosts remember having fun?

I suppose it would depend on why they're a ghost. If they chose to be because they like this world then I suppose they could have fun. But if they were forced to become a ghost because of something bad that happened to them or there was some task they couldn't complete then I imagine they'd be the gloomy kind of ghost. Not that I have a clue about them really.

It quite often heard of the existance of the 'jolly' ghosts that play out tricks on the living people. As Elentari already mentioned, those who have stayed behind of their free will make the most of them, but it is also heard of ghosts who haunt because they can't find their peace and just can't go to other side untill thier problem is solved, who also have kept their good humor. But about the fun .. The above mentioned ofcoursley can have fun an it is consentious, no doubt, for there's no reason play jokes on people (harmless ones, ofcourse) if not for fun. A sort of a 'wasting of time' since there's no nothing better to do  But the unconcious ghosts don't seem to have a chance to have fun, since they don't know they're dead but have noone around them (of the ghost kind) which would actually be a sort of a state of denial which excludes having fun. I think ... But that is just theory really .. ;D ;D Ophelia |

are ghosts kinetic and/or telepathic?

Erm.. You meant telekinetic right Yes, I am not sure of all cases but mostly they are. Since they are living in a paralel dimension and are themselves something that you have to be more or less gifted to communicate with, I dare say that they are at the level of these powers. Aswell, you have to do telekinetics if you are nought more than an unmaterial vision, gathering of energy or call it as you may, but still capeable of moving objects. The best example is poltergheist activities. They are even able to make an object on the floor or even miles away from the spot disapear and materialise it right above your head or on any other place in the house, area etc. And even though this is a very interesting and debateable topic, I rather stop explaining while it's short and understandable Thank you for the nice questions quickbeam!

Are/can spirits be bound as part of a specific element?

Long time since I last visited, eh? Terribly sorry for that  Well now, ghosts actually can be bound as a part of a specific element, if I got the question right. As mentioned before, ghosts can be attached to a certain place, building, room a part of the room or even an item. In that case it is this item, room etc that makes them stay behind. Either their death is connected with this object or place or it is the reason for them to stay behind after their death - to guard it. Ummm.. did I get the question right? Ophelia |
