Soul, Mind and Body by Jayanathinathan

Chapter 9 - Ghost - Real Story


Ghost or spirit can be good or evil. We have indicated that the soul who could not live up to its destined period, will wander in the wilderness till the completion of its period. It can even enter the living body suppressing the original soul for a short period. Though soul has no gender distinction, the ghost or spirit does not normally lose its gender difference.

One of my close relatives had undergone the agony of the ghost creating tremendous problems for a few years. One of the male members was afflicted with a ghost. When the ghost entered his body, the original person’s entity would be lost. This could be known by the voice of the ghost which would be quite different from that person’s original voice. A male ghost could enter a female person and vice versa.

In the incident which was known to me, the male ghost would be speaking from the body of the person suppressing his original soul during that period. The ghost would demand that he was hungry and that he wanted food to be served. The food that was served would be eaten by the ghost in no time. The ghost would tell the relatives around in the house that he would come again on a particular date at such and such time on the same person and that he wanted a specific food to be served, as otherwise he would create problems for the person under his control.

Believe me, the ghost would come again on that person exactly on the same date and time as revealed! The ghost would eat all the food served with gusto. When the ghost had left the body of the person, that person would come back to his normal sense.
Actually, he would not remember anything that had happened when he was under the spell of the ghost. Even his appetite would not have been affected in spite of his taking sumptuous food served to the ghost. You would be surprised to know that the person regaining his normal composure would demand his normal share of food.

When the ghost was confronted with the question “Why did you trouble us? Why did you not go away from that person?”, the ghost would answer that if any one in the house was willing to offer his body, he would leave that person. But, who would be willing to be ready for the ghost’s request? And hence, the ghost’s ability or otherwise to enter other person could not be known. Further, there is no logic or reason for having chosen originally that person to ‘live’ within him for a short period.

After a few years, the person was cured of the ghost. Because the ‘life period of the ghost’ might have expired!
