Why Does a Ghost Manifest

This article is from Ghost Investigations

When a ghost is responsible for a haunting, there might have been an emotional situation in the house that triggers a disturbance. For example, you have a house in which someone committed suicide a hundred years ago. In the meantime, a dozen families may live there and never experience anything out of the ordinary. Then one day someone moves in who is bent on self-destruction and immediately activity starts up. Here an emotional interaction has occurred.

Another reason a ghost will manifest is based on the need to communicate. In these cases the spirit is so caught up in its own tragedy or unresolved state that it will manifest to anyone in order to communicate its plight. That’s why lights will be switched on and off, or you’ll hear knockings, or see small objects move. Here the spirit is trying to gain attention.
