I can honestly say, I am not afraid of the dark. However, this comic is a little personal in nature. I have lived in a few haunted houses. It is ALWAYS unsettling when you get up at night to go to the bathroom or have that gratuitous glass of water.
I do a fair amount of ghost hunting these days. Short of an adrenaline rush, I don’t find myself fearful. Yet, I feel nervous in the dark of my own home when I’m alone. Perhaps it’s because I’m not REALLY alone… Somehow, it’s comforting to know I am not entirely alone. It’s a double-edged sword.
I heard on the news this morning, the singer Adele is upset because the home she bought came with a ghost. She is afraid to be alone there. The truth is, she has nothing to worry about. Most spirits are benign. It is best to just make friends with him or her. Always remember you are dealing with another human being. It is likely this was their home first, so respect that. Ultimately, you need to encourage them to move on, to go with their family. Assure them they are forgiven, and that you will protect their home. Tell them they will be allowed to visit and that you only wish them to be happy.
Kindness – that’s all it takes.
Eat Cookies, Hunt Ghosts!

I know what you mean. My home was peaceful, until a lost soul decided to approach me. All I could sense from this spirit was total mind-bending fear. After a few hairy moments, I managed to slip into a trance state and negotiated with it. It stop scaring me and I won’t try to kick it out. It even apologised for scaring me as it didn’t know it. Next day I spoke to it as it was curious about my computer. I gave the “No Longer Alive” talk. It went away, but it was back next day. So I opened a portal for it, and while I was doing this, it held my hand. Just before it left, it gave me a big hug. On other days I got rid of two more lesser spirits. Now all is quiet, and my house is no longer haunted. 🙂
That’s an amazing story. It’s great you are willing to help. It’s so important.

But it has left me a nervous wreck. LOL! I’m waiting to ‘stabilize’ and get more training before I do anymore. Yes… I’m in a training circle now. 🙂 Things are happening to me now, and it’s fascinating.
Keep me updated! This is exciting! 🙂

My Spirit Guides are now interacting more often. 🙂
Now this is an update: … I’m now a clairaudient/clairvoyent medium that can draw the spirits portraits. 😀 Times have changed.
That’s awesome! Nice to follow your progress!
