What is spiritual
energy?
Spiritual energy is best described as a residual footprint left
in a place during a specific point in time. Many people believe that
emotionally charged or traumatic events leave bits of energy behind in
locations and this energy can be felt or otherwise experienced by visitors to
these locations. Battlefields, cemeteries, hospitals, and prisons have all been
considered places highly susceptible to spiritual energy. While these places may
be prone to energy footprints, other less public places are also said to have
the capacity to hold on to energy.
Some places teem with energy
Our Homes
Imagine going through life feeling uncomfortable in your own
home. For many people, this is a reality. There are numerous tales of people
moving into a home and being overwhelmed with a sense of dread, paranoia,
unexplainable anger, or depression. These people claim to feel better when they
leave the home but upon their return, these feelings also return.
For paranormal investigators, this is a clear sign of an energy
footprint. It is believed that the human psyche is susceptible to the effects
of negative energy and that this energy can actually make us sick. While this
theory remains unproven, many people who believe that they have suffered from
this phenomenon claim to have been helped by home energy cleansing.
Historic Buildings
Courthouses, libraries, hotels, and drinking establishments also
top the list of places prone to energy footprints. Visitors claim to feel a
sense of dread or see shadows which can lead one to assume the location is
haunted.
Paranormal theory does define this type of activity as a
haunting, however, there is no interaction between the energy and the human
inhabitants. This is what's known simply as a residual haunting.
The Outdoors
Even outdoor locations can hold on to energy.
Like a battlefield at Gettysburg. Cemeteries,
forests, parks, and town squares can all provide us with a sense that there is
something more around us than what our eyes can see. New Orleans visitors often
recount ghost sightings in the city.
My home is surrounded by the historic and famous Kisatchie
National Forest. There are many tales of energy in this forest. Some say the
faint sound of Native American drums and chants can be heard in the forest in
the dead of night as it was once a popular hunting ground for the Apalachee
tribe.
My short story, Remembered, from the Haunted Collection, touches on the paranormal activity in New Orleans, Louisiana during and after Hurricane Katrina.
