Hauntings People a lot of the time ask me exactly what a ghost is, so I tell them truthfully they all are different. Ghost is a term used loosely, but shouldn’t be because it means something different then what people think it means. Sometimes people really mean spirit but say ghost so it is implied. Spirits are made up of a bunch of energy pulled from different things, a computer, batteries, or even a living thing. There are many different types of spirits, Ghost’s (orbs), spirits (also can be orb’s), poltergeists, demonic, residual, and fallen angels. Many women in my family can feel the difference, communicate with them, or even see them depending on how strong the energy is, we are all known as mediums.

After we had taken the picture I put a blue filter on them so everything was easier to see, and too this day the picture gives me chills. In this picture the lay out of the room can be seen, wall desk on the right with a closet some posters then a window then another poster and an old chair frame that no longer had the cloth in it If we look closely something stepping out of the wall into this frame can be seen, no feet just legs, torso, and a head. The spirit looked like an Indian Skwa which is the term they used to refer to a woman in the tribe that would take care of all the children, cooking, and cleaning. There she was in my room I couldn’t believe it but she was here, I don’t know why but it just made me happy to know she was in a sense looking over me and my …show more content…
I was always washing my hand, changing my clothes, showering, or wearing a hospital mask and gloves. Whenever I would go out of the house that is what I would have to wear was a hospital mask and gloves, even when I was home I would still have to wear it. I was never able to do what my brother’s and sister’s went out and did, my room was all white including my pillow and bed sheets, life had become very dull at that time. But as I got older I started to g out and do more. Going out slowly without my mask and gloves, then I got to decorate my room.

"I am a result," claims Markus Zusak's Death in his novel The Book Thief (Zusak 8). This state of being for the persona commonly seen as malicious and destructive provides a good view of the unique image of Death presented in the novel. Far from the scythe toting, black hooded robe wearing Death of culture's common perception, the Death here is amiable, affable, and agreeable (1). He poses to the readers wishing to find out what he truly looks like to "find [themselves] a mirror" while he continues to narrate the tale. The being here hold much more of a resemblance to a beleaguered old man with an exhaustible deep supply of dry gallows humor. He is not taking joy in the deaths of humanity, or even causing them. He is the result of our dying. Someone (not just something) to clean up the mess we leave behind. And after millenia of witnessing humans at their best and worst, Death has developed a special love for them.

In her famous The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende documents the life of several characters during the Chilean reality in the 1930s. Her notorious feminist ideology is, at times, extremely obvious. Elements such as the clash of social classes and the social, political and economical conditions of Chile during this period of high turmoil are also well portrayed. Isabel Allende achieves to give us a good image of what life in Chile was like during those years. Some particular characters specially exemplify all of these elements very clearly.
The Nelly Butler hauntings is referred to as the first recorded ghost story in American history (LiBrizzi 5), and possibly the most exciting hauntings to date as there are still many unsolved mysteries. The apparition appeared on more than 30 separate occasions to over 100 witnesses in Sullivan, Maine, just over fifteen years after the American Revolution (5-6). Although the Nelly Butler apparition is one of the most convincing ghosts of all time, it was subject to suspicions of fraud. These claims turn out to be groundless as the evidence reveals the ghost to be genuine.
