Ghosts and past lives

If you believe in ghosts this chapter is special for you.

Some people tell stories about ghosts like the fist story. It talks about a large house with a horrible building in 1863. The house became famous because many strange things happened there. A ghost of a young woman was there. The people who were lived in that house sometimes saw terrible messages on the walls and strange noises. The house was destroyed in a fire that seemed to be the end of the story. Then local people began to talk about strange things happened in the Borley church. Many people tried to film the ghosts but all the equipment in that church was destroyed. Two filmmakers saw a young woman in the garden for twelve minutes. And after then other crazy things happened in that church.

There are many others stories about different famous ghost in different places. Like in India, “Acheri” is the ghost of a little girl who lives in the mountains. Or in Japan, “The Buruburu” is the ghost of fear, it lives in dark forests. But Are that stories about the ghost true?

The past lives.

Sometimes we think “I’ve been to this place before” and maybe we are right. There are three stories about people how discovered their past life.

Virginia Tighe’s story is one of the most famous in the world. She was the wife of a business man, in the US. In her past live she called Bridey Murphy, she was a young Irish woman. Virginia never travelled to Ireland but she knew many important things about it: the language, the names of local shops and people, even popular songs. Experts have checked Virginia’s story for thirty years but they aren’t proved that it isn’t real.

Other stories talk about Shanti Devi. She was only four years old when she began to talk about her “other life” as a wife and mother in Mathura. She remember specifically many things about her other life and her husband. She died when she had her second baby. Shanti and his family went to Matura, she saw her husband’s brother. She immediately knew who he was. She found her house, her bedroom and some of her things there without problems. But Shanti always missed her first life and never married. She died sad and lonely.

All families are strange but not like The Pollock Family. The only children, two sisters, were killed in a car. The Pollock found happiness again when Mrs Pollock had more children. But something was strange about these children. They knew all about their dead sisters’ dead. And sometimes their parents found them crying. All of this stopped when the girls became older. And they couldn’t remember any of it.
