It is old beliefs and thoughts of people regarding the unexplained mysteries as well as the haunting unsolved mysteries or incidences.

Even several members of the society laugh on that person. Thus at present time, there are quite less people who believe on unexplained mysteries as well as the haunting unsolved incidences.

With Halloween conveniently placed at the end of half term why not get the kids interested in some of Britain’s rich heritage (not to mention spending some quality time with the family) with a short break in your motorhome? Thanks to recent media sensations, the paranormal is more popular than ever with the younger generation so why not take this opportunity to really spark their interest in history and with a motorhome at your disposal, no corner of the UK is out of your reach. Here are just a few places that have a fascinating enough history to excite the children, intrigue the teenagers and even entertain you.
Let’s start with perhaps the most well known of haunted place in Britain, the Tower of London. Most famously known as a royal fortress to imprison those of high standing within society, the Tower is a great place to start educating the younger generation about the history of Britain and the monarchy without boring them, even the ghosts are educational. The most famous allegedly being that of Anne Boleyn who was beheaded on the orders of King Henry VIII. British history may have connotations of being boring and stuffy, Anne Boleyn was anything but, held on charges of adultery, incest and treason her life is bound to capture the interest of your children, maybe you can spot her ghost wandering around the grounds carrying her severed head under her arm.
If you want to take your motorhome to explore some of Britain’s tranquil scenery and escape the hustle of the big cities, the stunning Thirlmere Lake in the Lake District boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes in the UK, originally two smaller lakes the water hides a sinister secret, Armboth House. Legend has it, the occupying family were arranging the wedding for their daughter due to take place the next day, when they were informed their daughter had been pushed and drowned in the surrounding lake. Although the murderer was never caught, strange happenings were still reported at the house long after the family abandoned it, lights would be turned on, sounds of the wedding feast being prepared could be heard, always on the same day every year, the day of her death, Halloween. The house has lain submerged beneath the waters of the lake for over a hundred years now but many who visit the area still report to feel a chill and strangely unsettled especially on Halloween. While the kids enjoy the eerie mystery, the picturesque surroundings are bound to keep you enthralled too.
If you would like a little more education with your paranormal, it might be worth taking your motorhome down to Sussex. The battle of Hastings took place in 1066 in a small town that is known today as Battle and is often included in most schools history curriculum. Whilst this may not necessarily capture your children’s interest, the site itself is of course rumoured to be haunted. Battle Abbey was built to commemorate the battle and help defend England during in the 100 year war, and although part of it now lies in ruins, it is open to the public and is supposedly haunted by a whole host of ghosts including an apparition wandering around with a spear in his eye (King Harold?), a knight on horseback and the plaque on the alter to mark the death of King Harold running with blood all of which seem more likely to make an appearance on the October anniversary of the battle. With all the paranormal activity in this small town, it’s impossible not to get your interest in British history sparked.
With a motorhome at your disposal there is no corner of the UK that you can’t explore, and with so much on offer you’re bound to find something to capture the imagination and interest of the whole family without having to spend a fortune on expensive holiday packages, so whether it’s just an overnight trip or a week away – enjoy!
Florida Auctioneers Charles Fudge of Professional Appraisers and Liquidators of Crystal River & Kale Albritton of Lakeland Will Liquidate the Contents of Upstairs Downstairs Antique Gallery on Saturday, October 3, 2009 at 10am Along With the Late 1890’s Victorian House, Which is Rumored to be Haunted.
Ocala, FL, October 1 2009 – This Saturday, will be an important day for Antique Collectors, Dealers, curiosity seekers, and ghost hunters alike when a Crystal River auction firm liquidates the contents of Upstairs, Downstairs Antique Galleria at 725 E. Silver Springs Blvd in Ocala Florida beginning at 10am. Besides over $200,000 worth of antiques that will cross the auction block, the 1885 Victorian Mansion zoned for commercial use, which is rumored to be haunted, will also be auctioned. This is the second “haunted” historical building in the Fort King district to be auctioned during the last year.
The Historic District of Ocala is an important spot on the map for those interested in all things paranormal. Sci-Fi Channel’s Television Show “TAPS Ghost Hunters” featured The Seven Sisters Inn on an episode last year. Ocala Ghost Walks, a local firm offerning walking and carriage tours of the district, features several historical buildings in the Fort King area including Seven Sisters and the Ritz Historic Inn. The ghost tour owner, Catherine Wendell said, “The hauntings throughout the area seem to be in clusters of 2 or 3 houses near each other, with no rhyme or reason”. The former Upstairs Downstairs Antique shop building is an important stop on their tour.
When Professional Appraisers & Liquidators was hired to liquidate both the contents and Victorian building at 725 E Silver Springs Blvd, they were told that the painting of a gentleman, circa 1840s, that was hanging in the shop was NOT for sale. The owner stipulated that it “went with the house” and would be given to the person who purchases the Victorian seven-bedroom mansion. Why? Because it seems that strange occurances seem to happen whenever that painting is moved.
Auctioneer Charles Fudge stated, “The comment about the painting sparked our interest as to the history of the building”. His firm’s research led them to an Ocala firm that had investigated the mysterious occurances in June, 2009 and posted audio and video of their overnight surveillance of the Victorian home on their website. According to a spokesman for American Paranormal Project Inc, the not for profit volunteer based organization, made up of citizens, each with unique backgrounds who have an interest in the paranormal, “It is truly one of the most haunted places I’ve seen”. Besides their findings of EVPs and ENPs, they heard footsteps upstairs while the entire team was “locked down” on the first floor. He also said that “something” besides a member of their team turned a light on during their overnight investigation.
Whether you’ve always dreamed of owning a Victorian Home, which happens to be commercially zoned in a high traffic area, or you’d just like to own a building that has been “verified” as haunted, now is your chance. The building will be auctioned at noon to the highest bidder (upon owner’s approval). If a haunted house is out of your price range, then you still might want to take home some of the fine antiques that will be auctioned from 10am until about 5pm. Who knows? Maybe one of the antiques you purchase will bring a spirit along with it. And you’ll have it home just in time for Halloween.
The haunting of premises or environments is caused by negative vibrations and energies residing there such as those of ghosts and departed ancestors.
Spiritual research has revealed that most houses around the world have some form of negative vibrations. These negative vibrations can be caused by a number of factors such as:
• The residents in the premises – are they doing any spiritual practice? If yes, does it conform to the five basic principles in spiritual practice http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/spiritualresearch/happiness/spirituality/basicpricinples_spirituality_d.php ? What is their psychological profile?
• The premises – The type of construction, cleanliness of the house, the items in the house and their placement, etc. The plot of land that the house has been built on and the surrounding area – is it located in a spiritually conducive area or an area laden with negative, distressing energies?
• The purpose for which the premises is being used.
The Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) conducted research on some haunted houses/premises through the medium of ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) or an advanced sixth sense. Here are some results of this research:
1. In 50% of cases the haunting is due to the spiritual level of the residents, for eg. if the residents have a lot of personality defects such as anger, greed, addictions etc. they would attract ghosts or departed ancestors who have similar personality defects.
2. Up to 30% is based on the purpose for what the premises is being used. i.e. it could be used for tamasik purposes such as indulging in addictions, tamasik music such as techno or rave, etc. which can attract ghosts to the premises. The principle to remember here is simple and Universal: Like attracts alike. Good attracts good and bad attracts bad.
3. Up to 10% depends on the premises itself such as hospitals where many have died unnatural deaths, or jails where inmates have been tortured to death.
4. Up to 6% is due to other factors
5. Up to 2% is due to the plot of land
6. And the remaining 2% is due to the surroundings eg. a cemetery or graveyard nearby.Acknowledging the fact the House or Premises is haunted
Most people never realize till it is too late that there are distressing vibrations in their premises. This is because they are themselves affected by the subtle black energy of ghosts. They therefore do not perceive the presence of ghosts, departed ancestors nor the negative vibrations. The presence of a subtle black energy covering (on an average 4 cm.) over most people and lack of sixth sense makes them insensitive to the subtle distress due to the presence of ghosts.
This can be understood by the analogy of how medical personnel do not pick up or are not disturbed by the smell of medicines and disinfectant that permeates a hospital setting. So also those with an established covering of black energy feel good when raja-tama activities are abundant in the premises. What are the measures one can take to overcome haunting and negative vibrations in the premises?
Spiritual healing measures such as:
• Sprinkling of Holy water etc. http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/spiritualresearch/spiritualhealing/incensesticks/usingholywater.php
• Lighting SSRF incense sticks
are extremely effective and tried and tested tools to reduce spiritual negativity in the premises. These healing measures have increased potency when done with devotion, spiritual emotion along with one’s regular spiritual practice.
There are various other remedies for the spiritual cleansing of premises with varying percentages of importance such as:
• Spiritual practice of residents in the premises – 30%
• The pleasing personalities of the residents – 30%
• Rituals performed to cleanse the premises on and off or on a regular basis -14%
• Visits by Saints to the premises -10%
• Keeping the doors and windows of the premises open -2%
• Miscellaneous – growing the holy basil plant – tulsi -10%
Summary:
Only spiritual practice that conforms to the 5 basic principles of Spirituality is a sustainable way to eradicate a ghost from the premises. The probability of an average exorcist/sorcerer/ psychic being able to remove ghosts is very low.

Intelligent Hauntings are the type of haunting that people usually think of when they think of a haunting. In an intelligent haunting, the entity is aware of its surroundings and interacts with the present. These hauntings are considered to be intelligent because communication with the living usually occurs. This ghost is best described as the spirit of a person who once lived and has stayed behind in our world instead of “crossing over” or “going into the light” to get to the other side. This sometimes happens in the case of murder, a traumatic event or if there is some unfinished business in the person’s life. If these things happen, the spirit may be unable to or may even refuse to cross over. In some cases, the spirit may not even realize it’s dead. This can happen if the person died very suddenly or unexpectedly. The spirit will usually manifest itself in physical ways like slamming, opening and unlocking doors and/or windows; weird sounds, disembodied voices, disturbance of electrical devices, cold chills and a strong presence like the feeling like you’re being watched or the hair on the back of your neck standing up, goosebumps, etc. Sometimes these spirits will hide things, move stuff around, turn things on and off or do other annoying things like a child lookinf for attention. These are examples of ghosts trying to get noticed so it can communicate from the other side. The spirit might need help to cross over or maybe it needs to take care of some unfinished business. Maybe it needs to deliver a message from the other side or just wants to watch over loved ones. In some cases, the spirit may be afraid of death and moving on to a new world. It has also been documented that the spirit may just be lonely and want some company. In some cases, as has been my personal experience, a loved one will visit in dreams and visions, especially right before or after sleep when we are most open to contact. I remember asking my father a question a few days after he passed away and he answered it in a dream that same night. Believe it or not, it’s fairly common to actually see a ghostly loved one. It’s most common for ghosts to materialize between the hours of 11pm and 4am. This time period seems to be the easiest time for entities to manifest themselves because it’s darker between those hours. Most spirits aren’t stong enough to show themselves during the daylight because it takes too much energy. It’s similar to turning on a light in the daylight; you can hardly see it and it’s pretty much not worth the effort. This is how spirits work as well. If they use too much energy during the day they will be too weak to show themselves at night. These spirits can be benevolent or mischievous, depending on the reason they’re haunting a location. Perhaps they used to live there and they want you to leave. If they discover that someone can see them, they might decide they want to stick around. In some cases, there might be some kind of object or keepsake they are are emotionally attached to and want to be close to. They could also may be looking for something or someone. Sometimes the spirit may not be willing to accept that they’re dead. When people die, their spirits keep the same personality they had while they were living. Negative spirits are usually people who were angry and bitter in life. If the spirit was a kind and caring person, the entity will most likely hang onto those qualities in the afterlife. Negative spirits can be frightening, and in very rare cases they have been able to harm the living, but that is generally not the case. It is much more common to hear of an encounter with a positive spirit than with a negative one. There are many spirits remaining in our world who have left behind relatives and loved ones and don’t want to leave. It’s possible they feel they can’t leave until they finish a certain task or deliver a certain message. They may not rest because they suffered some injustice and want to help solve the mystery before they go. Sometimes they just want to see their children grow up. Overall, knowing that some spirits hanig around is actually kind of sad. Although we might think it’s cool and exciting to encounter a ghost, we have to remember that many spirits are confused about what has happened to them and may not even know they’re dead. Alot of them died suddenly or traumatically. Others cling to the life they know and are afraid to let go and move on to something new. These ghosts frequently need help to be convinced that they don’t belong here anymore. They aren’t demons and don’t need to be exorcised. Most likely they just seek direction to find where they should go. They need to be made to understand that there’s more for them on the other side than there is here. It’s possible to help them by simply talking to them or maybe calling in a priest of minister to pray for them.
You’ve probably noticed that the most accurate, credible online psychics are also the most expensive. They offer a valuable service, after all, and have an overabundance of requests for their time. Here are some tips on getting the most out of those readings in the least amount of time, which means a better quality reading for less cost. *Make a list of your questions.
Write down any questions you want to ask during the reading before you start. It’s easy to forget important questions when you have so much new information being thrown at you from your reader. It’s also helpful to jot down any questions you think of during the reading, so keep a paper and pen nearby during readings.*Light a candle, brew some tea. Relax.
More often than not, when you get a psychic reading it’s because you’re having some kind of problem that is stressing you out. All that stress and frustration can actually block your psychic’s flow and make it harder for them to read you. So try to get comfortable before your reading and you’ll notice a marked increased in your psychic’s ability to get connected.*Let your energy flow.
Just as stress can lead to blocked energy and a stifled reading, a calm, meditative state can provide a flowing, more accurate reading. Release any negative energy you have pent up and focus on positive energy before and during your reading.*Remove distractions.
This goes along with the ârelaxâ tip above. Wait until your kids are napping or at school, turn off your TV, and then get your reading. You’ll have a hard time listening to your psychic while chasing your four year old. *Let your psychic know she’s connected.
Yes, your psychic should be expected to actually be psychic and know things without you telling her. However, psychics occasionally pick up on the wrong people. For instance, if you’re blocking your energy, but someone close to you is spewing out positive energy all over the place, there’s a small chance your psychic could be picking up on someone else’s energy. Just a simple âyesâ will suffice.*Ask for guidance.
When you get a psychic reading, your psychic is giving you information about the future IF you don’t change your course of fate. We all have free will, so what happens when we get a reading and we don’t like the outcome we hear? We change our path, and our fate changes with it. If you don’t like your psychic’s forecast for your future, ask her what steps you can take toward a different, more beneficial, path.

The human aura is a three-dimensional energy field that surrounds the bodies of all living-beings and things. It extends in all directions, normally in an elliptical shape around the body. The healthier you are, the further the aura will extend out from the body.
There was an era when many people were able to see auras. In paintings of Spiritual leaders like Christ and the Buddha, we often see golden haloes around their heads. These haloes are nothing but their auras. The artists and painters of that age were able to see the auras, and hence reproduced them in their artwork.
Seeing the aura has got nothing “paranormal” about it. It is very normal, and one of easiest things to learn. With some time, practice and perseverance, anyone can see auras to some degree.
Why do we need to see auras ? : Learning to see the aura can reveal a lot about a person. The colors and intensity of the aura can tell us what the other person is thinking. Since the aura cannot be faked, the person’s true nature and intentions become clear as a mirror.
Someone has said that the aura is our spiritual signature. How true! A person with a radiant, clean aura is spiritually advanced and a person with a dark, murky aura is someone with unclear intentions. So if we know how to see and understand the aura, we know whom to befriend and whom to steer away from.
Also, by reading the aura it is possible to diagnose diseases even before symptoms become evident. If all doctors were trained to see the aura, it would be a boon to mankind.
How to read the Aura : Preparation : Find a place where you can practice undisturbed. Relax your mind by doing some deep-breathing exercises. Make sure the light in your room is neither too bright nor is it totally dark. A soft dim light is ideal. It is also important to have an open-minded attitude. The belief that you can see the aura will give you success faster.
Experiment 1 – See the aura around your hands : The background color, against which you will practice viewing the aura, should be preferably black, white or gray.
Hold one of your hands out in front of you and gently spread your fingers. Your palm can either be towards you or away from you. Take a few deep breaths and relax. Now, here is the trick… look at your hand but keep your focus on the background. That is, you do not focus on your hand, but you look beyond, and gaze at the background.
I repeat, relax your gaze and don’t try too hard. Don’t look at your hand. Look at the background beyond your hand. Try not to blink. In a few moments, you will see a fuzzy haze around the fingers of your hand. It will be a kind of a glow surrounding your hands. The color is generally white, silver or gray. Congratulations! You have just seen your aura!
This haze will disappear if you focus on your hands, and re-appear if you focus on the background. You will soon learn to hold your attention so that you can see the aura for a longer time.
Experiment 2 – See the aura around your body : With practice it will be very easy to look at the aura around your hands. Once you are good at it, you can try to look at the aura of your body. For this experiment, stand in front of a mirror. It is advisable that you are not wearing any clothes. Just like the previous experiment, have a dark or white background behind you.
Look at the mirror, and don’t focus on your body. Focus on the background. As you stare past your body, you will very quickly notice a fuzzy silver or gray outline surrounding your body. This is similar to the aura you saw around your hands. The aura will appear and disappear. You have to train your eyes not to revert to the normal focus. The trick is to stay de-focused. With practice you will see it quite prominently and it will stay for a longer time.
Experiment 3 : See the aura around other person’s body : When you are good at seeing your own aura, you can train yourself to look at other people’s aura. The process is similar to looking at your own aura, but this time, you will be not be requiring any mirrors. The person will stand in front of a background, and you look beyond the person, and focus on the background. De-focus your eyes so that you can see his aura.
For the advanced student : The layers of the aura : If you venture to get deeper into the subject of Aura-reading, you will find more interesting facts about the aura.
You will see that the aura is made up of several layers. The first layer, called the Physical aura, starts from just above the surface of the skin and tells you about the physical well being of the person. The second layer, called the Mental aura tells you about the mental state of the person. The third, called the Spiritual aura gives you information about the spiritual advancement of the subject. All the three layers overlap each other. Together, they might extend up to 4-5 feet from the human body.
The common colors of the aura : When you advance sufficiently, you will start to see and distinguish the various colors in the aura. The location of the color, the intensity, and the shade can tell a great deal about the subject. But it takes sufficient practice to understand and interpret the colors. Each color can tell you something about the subject.
The most common colors that can be seen are : Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, Black, Pink, White, Silver.
Conclusion : When we were infants, we all could see auras. Most children up to 3-4 years’ of age see auras naturally. If a child doesn’t like the color of the aura of a person, they start crying! If they like it, they smile and readily go into the arms of the person. As we grew, the materialistic world enslaved us. We forgot to use our innate abilities to see the aura.
If we want to re-learn to see the aura, we need to give ourselves some time. We should not expect to become experts overnight. But have heart! Learning to see the aura is not a mystery. If you have the desire, and really want to see it, follow the experiments outlined above. And you will see your aura within a few minutes!

Richard Shaw Brown, Jr ( www.agt-gems.com) writes that the Vedic texts which state that pure flawless gems have auspicious powers ( Garuda Purana, Agni Purana) are correct. ” After 25 years of researching and experimenting with gemstones, it is our carefully considered opinion that the Vedic texts are correct. Flawed gems are simply a source of misfortune, not to mention their being ugly ! Think about it ! How many people are prepared to tolerate defects in their clothing, or any other personal items they possess?. Even a single scratch on a nice automobile is an eyesore, so why do people tolerate flawed gems? ” Howard Beckman ( www.p-g-a.org ) writes that different Chakras absorb different cosmic colors and nourish particular glands in the body. Diseases can be cured by using appropriate gems.

Food was verily born before all creatures: therefore it is called the medicine for all” declares the Upanishads. By stating that food is the root cause of all ills & illnesses Vedanta have formulated one of the foundational principles of holistic health. At least half the ailments of man can be traced directly or indirectly to the problems of food. Regulation of food is not easy, because it is an addiction like alcohol. Problems like obesity, higher cholesterol level & irritable bowel syndrome crop up if food is not controlled. By controlling food, the whole body comes under control. “When taste is conquered everything is conquered ” averrs Vedanta. What really matters is not how much we eat but how much of what we eat is transformed into bioenergy & the building materials of life. Sir William Osler pointed out many years ago ” Only a small percentage of what we eat nourishes us; the balance goes to waste and loss of energy”. In holistic health, food should be revered & a proper attitude towards food should be developed. ” Be thankful for all food, for food is Brahman ” said Vivekananda. Six hours have been prescribed for all even though requirement of sleep varies from person to person Research studies have indicated that even moderate levels of exercise bolster the immune system. No amount of sleep is sufficient for unwinding the mind for it is always in a tense state under the stressful conditions of modern life. Antidotes to stress include yogic techniques like Meditation, prayer, cultivation of the Witness attitude & practice of absolute self-surrender to the Divine, which enable us to avoid a lot of unnecessary stress. Doing nothing or simply lying down is not relaxation. The muscles when stretched bring in relaxation as it frees them from the tense condition. Some of the yogic Asanas are highly effective because they can relax the muscles. There will be focal point in the body which reflects the mental tension which one finds oneself in. That focal point of mental tension should be identified and you can choose that type of yogic exercise which will relax the muscles & tendons of the specific focal point of tension in you. A good site where you can get quality information about Holistic Medicine is www.holistic-alt.com Regulation of Breath “Breathlessness is deathlessness ” averrs Yoga. Regulation of breath gives tremendous relaxation.Pranayama, without the help of a bona fide Master, can lead to serious complications. What is needed is the practice of breathing deeply ( as deeply as possible ) through both the nostrils & then slowly breathing out ( without breath retention ). This kind of regulated deep breathing can be done at any time, even in your office. Psychosomatic pain can be alleviated by these simple yogic techniques more effectively than allopathic pills or tablets. Here we employ the internal pharmacy of Skill power in lieu of the external pharmacy of Pill Power! Vedic Holistic Medicine ( Ayurveda) gives priority to the Whole and not to the parts, contrary to chemotherapy which treats the parts only. More info about Ayurveda can be had from http://www.chakrapaniayurveda.com Astrology & Yoga All knowledge is threefold (” Thraigunya Vishaya Veda “). In Freudian Psycho-analysis we have three impulses, Id, Ego and Supergo. The Vedantic Satwa, Rajas and Thamas correspond to these impulses. The mind is always gripped by these three impulses. Sometimes we are Rajasic ( worldly ) and go after wealth. When intense anger and other negative emotions grip us, we are Thamasic. When divine qualities like Love and Peace influence us, we are Satwic ( divine ). The Ego with its ten heads ( symbolised as the ten-headed Ravana ) is the major block in attaining Self_Actualisation. The ten heads of the Ego are Lust,Anger,Pride, Avarice, Sloth, Covetousness, Attachment, Mind, Intellect, Conceit & Egoistic Mentality. Only when the ten heads of the Ego are removed can we hope to get Self-Realisation. ( Symbolically only when the Ravana in us is destroyed ). When we do our yoga, we will be assailed by three type of Ego. Rajasic ( wordly ), Thamasic ( bestial ) and Satwic ( noble ). In order to overcome the three types of Ego, we are given certain commandments. ” Ma the Sanghostha karmani ” – (Let there be not in you any attachment to inaction. ) This commandment is given so that we can overcome the Thamasic ( bestial ) ego. ” Ma Karma Phala Heturbhoo ” – (”Dont expect any reward”) This commandment is given to protect us from the Rajasic ( wordly ) ego, which always expects rewards for work done. “Ubhe Sukruta Dushkrute ” ( “Be beyond good and evil ” ) This commandment is given to us to overcome the Satwic Ego, for one should not hang on to Punya ( divine merit ). In other words, during the process of Yoga, we will be assailed by all sorts of negative thoughts. Our aim is to identify with the Source of all thought, the Self. We will find, as we progress on the path of yoga, that these negative thoughts leave us slowly and steadily. Conquering our negative aspect is not easy. The negative elements in man are the true villains. Alone, powerful & cruel are the dark and dreadful forces that profit from the reign of Night and Ignorance and they dont want any change in the body. We have to annihilate them one by one. In tragic life, God wot No villains need be, passions spin the plot We are betrayed by what is false within ! The entire Vedic wisdom is contained in one word ” Transcend “. Transcend both pain & sorrow, transcend the triune attributes of Nature. Transcend negativity !.
