Supernatural: Non-Visitational Ghosts - Bound

There are a few different types of Ghosts that can haunt a house, building or bit of land. These two main types are Visitational and Non-Visitational Ghosts. The first that we are going to discuss is Non-Visitational Ghosts. These types of Ghosts are bound to a particular place. There can be several reasons why some Ghosts can be bound to a place. One of the main reasons is un-natural death, dying before ones original time. People who die in traumatic ways such as murder can end up bound to the place they died.

This doesn’t happen in every case of murder, war or un-natural death. Some people when they die move on to the Spirit Plane without a problem. For some people when they die through shock and confusion of leaving their bodies in such violent actions well, it leaves them sometimes feeling very lost and confused. When these people die they are shocked by what has happened to them so they tend to cling to the earthly plane, not wanting to leave for fear of losing their families or sometimes it is their own general fear of the unknown that bounds them here.

It can also be at times that for some people because of the quickness of their death’s they don’t realise that they are dead, they are confused and need a little time to settle to the idea that it is time to take the journey to the Spirit Realm. Sometimes a bound ghost can be bounded to a place where they died. Or more often where their family once lived they can tend to stay in those places that they once lived or died in.

In many cases it is act of violence that can bind a ghost to the place where they died. This also happens during wars and battles with so much violence and death, soldiers get confused that they have actually died and so due to the quickness of the death.

Many Ghostly soldiers don’t know that there dead after they leave their body they are always looking for something, like friends or family but more often than not because of the violence of the battles. They end up bound to the battlefields and with some of these military ghosts they don’t feel the passage of time so hundred years after the battle they can still believe that the battle is still going on and there trying to find their military commanders to give them orders of what to do next. Some search for enemies that are no longer there and some just are continually trying to get back to their families who are long dead. For the majority of these types of Bound Ghosts, once they realise that they are dead most just want to cross over to the Spirit Plane to be with there families.

Supernatural: Visitational Ghosts

Unlike Non-Visitational or Bound Ghosts, Non-Visitational Ghosts are not Bound or attached to a particular place. They generally can come and go as they please. They don't haunt like other Ghosts as such, but they do visit certain places usually on a regular bases.

One of the best examples of a Visitational Ghost I found for you was in a book called 'The Unexplained' by Rueben Stone:

This story is about a woman called Frances Little, who with her husband moved to a house in California in 1968. After a few weeks of living in their new home they had just begun to settle in when both of them would have a paranormal experience with a Visitational Ghost.

In there new home one day Frances Little's husband saw a woman cross the window outside the house. He thought it was his wife because he had just seen his wife leave the room and assumed she had went outside. After a short time he realized that the woman was not his wife Frances and knew that it was a ghost that he had seen. Frances wasn't sure what to believe, was there a ghost in there new home or not? That was until she saw the ghost lady herself.

Deciding that she needed to find out who this lady was she researched on her new home. Frances asked neighbours about the tall slim woman in the old fashioned clothes she had seen. After finding some things that the previous owners had left, she came across a old photograph and there in the picture was the ghost lady.

She made a few enquires and with the help of the photograph was able to find out that the woman in the photograph had been called Margaret. Margaret had once lived with her husband in the exact house in the 1920's. The same house that Frances and her husband now lived in. She had loved the house so much that when she died she came back in Visitation to the house she had loved so well.

So as you can see from the story most visitational ghosts tend to be sighted in many places not just one area, room or building. Visitational Ghosts tend to roam places that had meaning for them when they were alive.
