2 Weeks of Talking to Ghosts 👻


It’s been about two weeks since I made it a habit to acknowledge the unseen. It’s not as thrilling as one might think. Most days, I forget to speak to them and just go about my normal life. But then there are moments when I remember.

I try to connect with the unseen everywhere I go; the grocery store, at work, at home, or somewhere in between. I start with a general greeting before politely asking for privacy if they choose to linger. The idea of a spirit watching me feels weird, like an invasion of my privacy. But I wonder- does privacy even mean anything to them anyway? I don’t know, but just in case, it’s one of the first things I ask for.

I feel self-conscious when I talk to them because I imagine a random person overhearing me and think I’m insane. Still, acknowledging the unseen makes me feel balanced, like the reality I live in is more real than the average person’s. It makes me feel in tune with life and more efficient, like a properly calibrated human being. We all die anyway- might as well talk to the ghosts in your house at least once.

When I talk to them, I imagine one or two spirits silently watching me like I’m some kind of circus freak- and honestly, maybe I am. I end up spooking myself more than anything. Once, after going over some basics with them like privacy and being organized, I played music on my phone and walked away. When I came back and heard the music still playing, I nearly jumped out of my skin! How embarrassing. They probably think people from the physical realm stay scared. Apparently, they wouldn’t have to do much to scare me.

Still, I’d love to get some feedback from them. I once encouraged them to make their presence known, but then I stopped to think about what I was really asking for. Did I really want to hear voices or see objects moving? That would be way more frightening than just hearing music.

But just because we can’t see a ghost in the room doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Not only that, they might hold more weight in this world than we realize. They probably know as much about what goes on in this world as we do- maybe even more! The unseen might have a lot to say, so my ears are open, even if I’m a bit jumpy.


Love,

P.S.

👉 I’m not crazy. I’m only talking to ghosts because my kids think we have a ghost in the house.👈
