If you encounter such beings, you can tell them to "move on to the light," and there are other rituals that will help them move along.
Whenever you move to a new house or a new, old house, you can sage to clean the energy of the house and ask any lingering spirits to move out of your environment. There are people who specialize in doing rituals to assist stuck spirits in moving on.
"Move on to the light". Sounds like a line from the movie 'Poltergeist'. So if you ask them to move out of your environment, where exactly are they supposed to move to?

and magically managed to control our minds?????,you beleive that but you wont beleive peoples experiences
One thing that seems to be common with ghost is that people need to be "open to the idea" first of all. This also works for psychics and other such otherworldly endeavors. That should tell you a lot right there.
Not that I never have weird moments every once in a while. One such event was when I heard a voice coming from my bedroom when nobody was there. Really, I knew for a fact a voice came from my bedroom, yet I was the only one home at the time
What was going on? I anxiously went into the room to check things out. I glance at my computer screen, and notice in the bottom right corner a bubble stating "virus definitions have been updated." Seems I had left my CPU speakers on and was unaware (at the time anyways) that new anti-virus software vocally alerted you to when it updated
Of course......was that really it, or could it have been something else? *Twilight Zone music starts to play*
I don't know about you, but I'll stick to my rational explanation of the event. You're free think what you like of my "supernatural encounter."

OK.... but what about people like me, who once was working on a model kit down in the basement, heard little footsteps going down the stairs above me, then turned around to see a little girl in a white dress who shouldn't be there staring at me for a few seconds before vanishing before my eyes? And that was the 3rd time I've seen her.
Hallucinations? Maybe, but the doc said everything was OK (I was that worried about being crazy).
Mistaken identity? Not a chance in hell. She was there, solid, plain as day, just like a living person and then suddenly she wasn't.
And the real kicker? After some history research following my first brush with weirdness shortly after moving in (including tracking down and talking with the 95 year old son of the origional owner), I learned a 5 year girl did die there in 1918 of typhoid (probably spanish flu).
I'm far from the only person who's had similar experiences. Utterly unexplainable things happenand that's that. What such experiences really mean is still very much unclear, but I still believe there is a valid, scientifically plausable explanation that continues to eludes us...
Before that wild speculation, I was more convinced that ghosts are magnetic residues left over from life.
Used to work with the sjuper secret side of national security, and we were always taught that even if you use the latest wiping software on a disk and run it through a powerful magnetic field, there was no guarantee that a few bits of data would remain on the disk. The only sure way to make a disk safe was to grind the recording surface off the backing.
If human beings can be likened to a CD, or better yet magnetic tape, then there will always be a magnetic field. Whatever caused a magnetic field to strengthen and manifest itself, it does not mean that the ghost is some kind of life energy trapped in the material world, but rather a recording that is replayed from time to time.
You have articulated what I have always believed to be the case of "lingering spirits"...however, what I've experienced when my father died is something that boggled my mind even more.
A few nights after he died, a mist-like silhouette woke me up from deep sleep and "spoke in my head..." commanding me to grab a blanket and place it on the floor for me to lie down on...so that when I wake up...I would know it was not a dream. Somehow I knew it was my father...so I obliged. Sure enough...the first words I uttered were, "what a dream..." until I realized that, indeed, I was on the floor.
I pondered upon this phenomenon for awhile before I came to the conclusion that, my father's spirit came to assuage my morbid fear of "death" and that this life is not the end.
I have shared this experience on a different thread as well...

problem is with that kind of thinkin is you dont give people the credit they deserve,besides your ''supernatural encounter'',was just you being paranoid,you've made that clear,but dont think that everyone in the world is as paranoid as you,unless youve actually experienced somethin supernatural then how are you meant to know,others do listen close to what people have to say though,not everyone is tellin the truth,but to think that everyone is either lying or paranoid is a bit weird imo.i only seen somethin,never experienced anything close and personal,thank God,i wouldnt like that,but that dosent mean that 150,000,000 americans alone are lying about their experience's ar just paranoid,its clear that people that dont want to beleiv e in an after-life have narrow minds about these subject's.
it cant be proven you say,,,well prove that dark energy exist's,cant be proven but they know its there!!!!!

or maybe these body's are not the all-in-all of what we are,maybe we have a body within this body,a subtle body that is not made of matter as such,and that our consioussness dosent vanish at death,and we really are eternal beings,??
being stuck in the ghost stage could be the living entity waiting to move on,onto what though?maybe the next life,and due to fear or somethin else they are either forced or bye choice stuck on the ghostly platform.
WHich is not exactly color blind. At least we perceive a different color in the place of scientifically what we must regard as essentially the named color. Lemons are yellow, and limes are green, and the sky is tranparent (We can't escape the last One).

Thats a big jump with no supporting evidence. There is NO evidence of a "spirit" existing in the body and parting after death.
More likely it would be a recording of sorts left in the environment, perhaps only translatable though the human brain (in other words a hallucination produced from the right environmental stimuli). Maybe it's crossing parrallel unverses along the lines of M Theory. Maybe it's random ELF waves messing with brain functions. Maybe it's caused by model glue fumes in enclosed spaces.
It may look like the dead wandering the world and I can see why most people jump to that conclusion, but if you honestly look at the phenomenon from a truly open, impartial perspective, you can see that wouldn't necessarily be the most logical possiblity. The existence of ghosts does NOT equal the existence of an afterlife, just a bigger and more complicated world than we previously assumed.
