Learn More About Ghosts

The world of the paranormal is vast and mysterious, and that's why we talked to spiritual experts to help fill us in! Here's what they had to say:

  • Psychic medium and shamanic healer Kelly Ferguson tells us, "Haints can appear in ways similar to other ghostly or paranormal activity. Experiences may include: objects moving on their own; unexplained voices, footsteps, or sounds; sudden feelings of a presence nearby; visual sightings such as figures, shadows, or fleeting movements. Some hauntings are location-based, while others may seem to follow a particular person."[1]
  • Medium Jennifer McVey, Cht, says, "[Spirits] are still very much alive. And they were conscious, they just don't have a body anymore. So they can still communicate the way they used to. We just can't hear them."[2]
  • Astrologer and psychic medium Jessica Lanyadoo says, "Without having evidence, it is really hard to know whether or not you are communicating with dead people." It's important to have evidence before you claim that something is paranormal![3]
  • YouTuber and paranormal activity expert Dylan McElliott says, "I don’t know about 'catching' ghosts. But I do think spirits can get attached to things—like the haunted doll—or even to people. That definitely seems possible."[4]
