You are the second person (that I know of) who has come from an abusive home that has had a lot of paranormal things happen. Thinking it is a connection somewhere. Negative energy?
Certainly the mental health community labels the paranormal as schizophrenia and the like. I take the route that ghosts are never just ghosts, they represent something else that we are not allowed to think, see, or talk about, i.e. abuse/incest/rape...
Oh no, I don't play with the ouija board. I don't even do Tarot anymore. I still own the Witch Table - it was once just a regular tea table and I believe it can be again - it is in storage awaiting resurrection.
I know now that I have been getting help with my mental illness - complex-PTSD - the mental health community labels my paranormal experiences as hallucinations.
My experiences with ghosts were not like what you see in scary movies. Mostly my ghosts just wanted acknowledgement - to be seen or heard was enough for them.
Which is interesting because that is all I wanted growing up - to be seen and heard - to have my needs taken care of and to be loved.
See, the way you think about ghosts is very much the way I think about ghosts. Mind you, I am not even slightly trained in psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, but it feels like how I deal with ghosts in a spiritual way. The number of times I've spoken to someone who had a narrow escape and they said that *person who passed away* was looking after them I can't even count. It's a very Irish way of looking at those who have gone ahead of us. Definitely a sign of the grief we have for the people who have passed away. I didn't get on well with my Dad in some ways and really well in others, and after he died I kept encountering signs that he was around, keeping an eye on things. Not so much now that we're nearly 10 years on, but sometimes

There is a lot of nasty shit out there...using a ouija board attracts its attention. That's why I don't go on ghost tours or stay in haunted rooms; I do not want something nasty that likes the way I taste to latch onto me.
