Zombie Outbreak in Texas!!!

Hail Survivors!

I recently received a very grave -no pun intended- warning from Survivor Miles who I believe may be located in or near Texas. Survivor Miles recently survived a vicious zombie attack, armed with only his wits and hedge clippers. His parents unfortunately were not so lucky.

Ghosts

YOU MAY BE DEALING WITH A GHOST

First, the good news. Ghosts are not ALL malevolent, grudge-filled spirits of children who have suffered an untimely abuse-death.

The bad news? Some of them are.

Is your apparition one of those snarly spooks with a vengeful agenda? Or just a harmless haunter with some small unfinished business, like a half-eaten sandwich or a plant that needs watering?

Obviously you don’t need me to tell you how to know the difference. When your bathroom walls bleed and/or your closet growls at you, safe to say it’s a nasty ghosty – no further research required. Do NOT investigate! For the love of dog do NOT go down those stairs or up those stairs or through that door, into those trees or watch the DVD marked DO NOT WATCH. You get the picture.

Problem is, sending your spectral friend back into The Light, does require a bit of research. The key here is SAFE research:

1. If you’re already on speaking terms with your spook, try asking her very politely to spill her story. Then just listen helpfully. Never judge or minimize her eternal pain. Above all this means NOT trying to trump her tale of woe with a better one of your own, ie: no, “Oh that’s nothing, one time MY mom did this…” No matter how boring or convoluted her story gets.

2. If your ghost is less articulate, you will have to work a little harder. Start by researching your building, the builder, its former inhabitants, for example:

  • Google your address for any mysterious news reports.
  • Find the names of former inhabitants and search them.
  • Contact your city or town for info about the property developer.

Talk to your neighbors; it’s possible that your ghost been contacting others. If so don’t be offended. While arguably it makes you a little less special, it could save your life one day. When these neighbors start disappearing, you know it’s Plan B-gone time!

3. Once you have a rough understanding of his ghostly agenda, propose some possible ways you can help him achieve lasting peace. This could be through the proper burial of his remains, the feeding of his beloved dogs, the prosecution of his earthly abuser or just the ultimate destruction of civilization as we know it.

4. When nothing else seems to work, you could be dealing with a ghost who is not vengeful or helpful or busy or reluctant but one who is simply lost. Understand, post-mortem eyesight is far less sensitive to light – an excellent adaptation for those glowy heavenly environs but an impediment to actually finding one’s way there.

This explains why they sometimes get trapped in artificial light sources like TVs and DVDs, computers and photo flashes. To prevent these luminous mistakes, try wrapping all distracting artificial light sources in your home with red caution tape and leave the window open. If your ghost needs better directions than that, try drawing a map with arrows on the wall to clearly indicate the direction and distance to the nearest heavenly light source.

5. If you have one of those ghosts trapped in an old mirror or another shiny old object, you need to follow safe disposal protocol. Call before you dig! If you don’t know a good ghostbuster in your neighbourhood, do your research! Some things have to be incinerated while others call for a midnight burial in a symbolic location. You can’t just put that haunted mirror in the dumpster! 

If The Ghost is You…

First and foremost, don’t despair! Try thinking of yourself as not so much dead, but just corporeally challenged. Sure you may have trouble being seen and not heard, but think of all the perks. You can blink in and out of uncomfortable situations and even hunt down the person(s) who killed you and suck their souls into a secure container for all eternity.

Remember you can always practice incorporeality tricks like running cold water over your hands to re-manifest your old self. Just please, don’t douse yourself in sand or blood. I can’t stress this enough. Sure it’s dramatic, but there are better ways to wake up those phantom limbs. Practice in the mirror until you can manifest your body anywhere, without any external touch cues. Why do you think ghosts are always appearing in mirrors anyway?

One thing to be aware of however, there’s no such thing as a lazy ghost. Unfortunately, unlike vampires or immortals who can choose to loiter for all eternity, your ghosthood comes with a price, normally an important job or mission you will be forced to perform. You may be a banshee soul hunter or a reaper or just a generic grudge keeper but in any case, whatever you are, get ready for a busy and exciting afterlife!

    I believe I’m living in a haunted area.
    We have recently been hearing crying during the night. It varies from 10 pm to even midnightish. The Sister in law to our landlord said that where we’re living used to be a native american burial ground. Just last night I went to turn the lights off, I swear I thought I saw a tealish orb of light fly at me. That got my heart pounding as I turned the light back on, looking around frantically. Then when I turned it back off and went into bed, about 20 minutes later I could’ve sworn I saw a face looking at me but vanished as soon as I looked up.

    • Hail Heather,

      Hi. I hope that you are keeping on keeping on. Is there any update to this this spectral situation. Is it still occurring?

      Ancient aboriginal burial grounds are a hotbed of hauntings and often but not always the cause of ghostly complaints. I suspect it’s no accident this happens in your house, always around the same time. Does it always involve the same room? Have you inspected the closets for clues? Get a good flashlight and take it into the closet. Shine it up as high and as low as you can, looking for clues, marks on the wall, anything.

      Also do you recall anything about the face you saw?

      Seth

  • Slash Black Blood Howl

    Maybe it’s a werewolf ghost cause of the Indian part

  • Seth i saw a youtube video about a ghost this guy is asking for help. Go to youtube and look for markapsolon on youtube he need help bad!

    • Hail larkolycan,

      Welcome back and thanks for the tip. I sent him a link to download the Monstrometer and a link to the Ghosts page. Hopefully he will be able to use that to help him survive. I haven’t hear back from him yet but I am still going to put you down for a life saved.

      How have things been with you?

      Keep on keeping on.

      Seth

  • Well things have been great and damion… well he is the interesting one. He has no heart bet and he has a scar where his heart should be. The most interesting part is what he.said.

    • Hail larkolycan,

      Glad to hear that things have been great with you.

      Heartless!?! That doesn’t sound good… you need a heart to live. So what did damion say?

      Keep on keeping on.

      Seth

      P.S. Have you made any more zombie videos?

  • … he said… that hearts remind others of love… his heart reminds him of his time.of death…

    • Hail larkolycan,

      Hmmm… that is pretty cryptic. I am going to try to do some research and see what I can find out about this. In the meantime if you have any more information that might help shed some light onto this mystery then please let me know.

      Keep on keeping on.

      Seht

  • I’ll see what i can find but I’ve relized i have never seen his parents… and his right eye is always wrapped in bandages… i haven’t seen damion around lately I’m gonna go see if i can find him… hes most likely at a cemetary. I will report back in a few weeks to months till then. Wish me luck.

  • Shadow

    One of my closest friends is the ghost of a kitsune. He knocks on my bed at night. But, however, because I am a werewolf and he is a kitsune, bad luck is always what we get. The werewolf hunters are getting closer, and the kitsune ghost is being pursued by evil spirits. Also someone nearby has a ghost problem. He managed to snap a photo of a ghostly face. Shadow Wolf, over and out.

    • Hail Shadow Wolf,

      Thanks for stopping in with this ethereal update. Just to clarify, what kind of WW hunters are after you? Are they werewolves who are hunters because you are hanging out with a Kitsune? Or hunters who hunt werewolves either for sport or business or out of fear?

      There is a survivor here on the site, goes by the name of “Supreme Fire,” who has been known to channel kitsune spirits. I will try sending him to your post and see if he would help you communicate with your Kitsune friend. However I don’t know if it will work. The channeling seems to take a toll on him. In any event, you could try talking to your ghostly kitsune friend. Can he talk? Or just with knocks on the bed?

      Thanks for keeping on,

      Seth

    • Supreme Fire

  • Vampire28

    i think ppl misjudge ghosts. they think they want to haunt them but they rlly only want to go into the light. Many people are afraid and then shut them out. Forcing them to roam in thiis relm forever.

  • Vampire28

    When a ghost comes to you with the problem of not being able to get into the light what are some ways you can help them. Usually when i say I cant help them they threaten me with haunting me for life, untimely death, or keeping me in this relm with them for eturnity. What do I do???? :?:

  • Thecastawaysghost

    Hello seth I heard about you through a werewolf freind of mine I was hoping you could help me I am a ghost but I`m trapped in the computer do you have advice on how to get out? thanks castaway

    • Werewolf13

      Welcome to the site Castaway! Just how exactly did you manage to get stuck in a computer? I might be able to help you find an exit. What kind of computer is it?

    • Zyboragon

      Talk about cyber ghosting, Hail Castawayghost! I’ve been in a situation fairly similar, there should be a command file somewhere, if you find it, you should manage to find a list of commands, from there you’ll need find a clearing command (clear cache), the computer should then just sweep you out. Don’t worry about being erased, since you’re a ghost there’s no permanent way to delete you by means of computer.

  • Necrotis

    The things you mortals use as a substitute for magic. Computers are a technological form of a scrying glass or astral form.

    • Zyboragon

      Being an angelic, cyborg, ghost, dragon, I’m not sure I agree with that too much, but I’ve used both magic and technology before, perhaps to the right person you may be right though.

  • Necrotis

    Magic is quite medieval. But that being said, you are forced to use technology. You are half robot.

  • Thecastawaysghost

    Thank you for all the help guys I am officially out of the computer!

  • Mitsuzo

    Is it weird to suddenly have spirits trying to contact you? Because I have at least five at my house (Helena, Dustin, Patty, Robyn and 2, whom I posted about in the demon section)

  • imavampireforreal

    my house is haunted the people there is ben,nick,sheb,july,jeff,ackmed,and carrie carrie is the mean one she almost KILLED me!

  • freewolf

    I don’t know what to do I don’t now if this is a ghost or a demon. Every night I hear foot steps up and down the stairs, at around 10pm, somtimes the room that i am in will be eather cold or extremly warm. tonight I got realy angry because what ever it is made something fall in the kitchen I got spooked and told it to f**k off this made it realy angry because the hallway got pitch black the light went out and I heard foot steps toward me and then intence heat, poor choice of words.and at 2:10 every night I wake up to ether being to hot or realy cold and then my bed creeks. I wish it would stop and I think it’s realy angry at me I am realy scared. I recorded a video and only got a staticy voice could not understand it.

  • Well free wolf, it’s your fault for making it mad. It probobly didn’t mean to knock something over, how would you feel if you were dead, you knocked something over by accident, and then someone cursed at you for no reason? Exactly

  • ?wolf

    I have this weird abilityish kinda thing with ghosts. When ever I see one — and it has to be completly for real — my eyes get watery and my hands are skittish. :?: :?: :?:

  • Wolflily

    Being a Ghost Werewolf I talk to ghosts a lot but how do I help one with no set goal she’s changing it all the time. So how do I help her?

  • Half vamp.

    Hey so I have a problem with this “man in black” I call him he watches me in the night. I can feel it, his frustration, his anger, his sadness, and he for some reason wanted to come to me . I don’t know why, he keeps on getting closer every time I start to think about why is he here? what is he going to do? Is he incubus? Why me? What does he want from me? I hear silent screams in the night I just roll over and try to go to sleep but I can’t. Sometimes I wonder why do spirits want me. Spirits follow me everywhere I go there’s that woman who died in a 1924 train crash, there’s a little boy and a little girl. There’s that boy spirit who stroked my hair at William knight elementary school in Canby. I think he likes me, what should I do Seth??? Why do they keep going for me?? Why me??

      • Hail ?wolf,

        Thanks for helping out Half vamp here with a pretty solid ghost-busting supply list. What do you recommend she do with the iron?

        I know for fairy portal protection you want to wear it on your person but how is it used for ghosts? Is it something you hang over your door? The door of your closet?

        Have you ever tried the cherry pie solution to get them talking?

        Seth

        PS – Thanks for keeping on during that gruelling antelope hunt.

    • ?wolf

      Do you have anything that brings the paranormal to like you more than other people. Im great at finding ghosts but not expert on the subject of what attracts them. Do you wear anything they might hate so much that they are coming to try to destroy it? IF YOU DO, TAKE IT OFF AND USE IT AS BAIT!
      The bored WW
      ?wolf

    • Hail Half vamp.

      Another good point from ?wolf here. I would also add, do you have something they like? Also do you have an old mirror? As you probably know there have been recent reports here on the site about ghosts trapped by old mirrors, the ones with the silver backs.

      Let me see if I can find that link. Here it is. Did you happen to buy a used mirror on e-bay? Have you checked the mirrors in your house?

  • Wolf boy

    Wolf I thaught you’re went crazy for muffins

  • ?wolf

    Did you say MUFFINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

  • Wolf boy

    YES I SAID MUFFINS MUFFIN MUFFIN MUFFIN
    my favorite kind of muffin is strawberry

  • Wolf boy

    The date for one of my comments is red why?

  • ?wolf

    STRAWBERRY?!?!?! YOU DISGUST ME!!!! BLUEBERRY IS DA BOMB!!!

  • Knewwolf

    I think I saw one once. At least I think I did. You know how it is, you get away from the pack and all at daybreak before you all accidentally attack each other. Anyway, it was more a wisp then anything else, and lurked just beyond the edge of my vision, though I could never see it. It spoke in ghostly tones I could not hear and even now I wonder if I imagined it. I almost died that night, as it was then my pack was attacked and killed, and I was grateful I was not there to see as well as hear. Now I hope I will never see it again.

  • posibilities

    Oh I know a way to know if it was real or not! When you saw/heard it, were you thinking about ghosts or spirits at the time? Or was it the last thing you could think of? If it was totally in the back of your mind, it was real. If not well… You might want to consult a phyciatrist (or however you spell it). Anyways, trust me, I’m a ghost WW, and the spirits in my house like me, well, half at least. I speak with and see them all the time. Seriously. It can get creepy. But, I guess that’s how it’s gotta be!

  • Alex

    Guess I’m under this catagory.

  • Phoebe421$$

    I hear foot steps my dad sais it’s just the ac,but even when the acs off I still hear it,and my old dog used to bark alot in the house at night but she passed away.!!!???
