Ghost Whisperer: Melinda Gordon

Ghosts have been a controversial debate for a while now and there is no scientific proof to their existence. However many people so seem to have the belief they are out there. People have retold several stories and personal experiences proving that ghosts are a living thing. If it is proven in the future that the existence of ghosts are not real, it could be a good thing knowing that there is nothing harmful out after us. Although if ghosts do exist it would be cool to be able to communicate with the dead and have their spirits in our presence. Do you believe in

In the article "The Haunted House" by Valerie Worth it talks about some people go in and explore a old, earey haunted house, but they are not scared. I the article it says “Its echoes, Its aching stairs, Its doors gone stiff at the hinges, Remind us of its Owners, who Grew old, who Died, but Who are still Here: learning In the closet like That curtain rod, Sleeping on the cellar Shelf like this empty jelly jar.” (Worth 9).

In conclusion, people are addicted to being scared, and hearing these stories of people talking to the dead which simply can not be understudied, or even scientifically

Ghosts are not there just to haunt, they have a purpose (same goes for other supernatural creatures found in literature)

In the article “Whispers From The Grave” by Katia Bachko, it shows how people were interested with ghosts stories because in them you could talk to the dead, which is something you cannot normally do.

Many people ask what are ghost. A ghost is an apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or become manifest to the living, typically as a cloud/hazy image. They are all over the world and most likely in your own home. I have had my fair share of experiences with ghost. For example I was pushed down the stairs by a ghost and or I was not being careful. I was also with by brother and we heard footsteps and laughing upstairs when nobody was home except us. My brother had heard a demon and that's why I am a firm believer of the supernatural. You never know, you may have some experiences like me.

The problem with this is that social anxiety often cripples it’s victims from reaching out to others in social occasions. With the help of the internet, specifically social networks, those who struggle with social anxiety can reach out digitally to others without all of the fear that normally builds up in social situations. Social networks allow anyone to easily find new friends or catch up with old friends. Over 70 percent of teens connect with friends through social networks, with 57 percent claiming to have made new friends via the internet. 83 percent of these teens say they feel more connected with their friend’s lives and 70 percent report to have connected with their friends feelings through these social websites. With all of the possible connections, someone with social anxiety can work their way into a social group and feel comfortable in social

Ng stood as the Asian American viewpoint, Cisneros as the Mexican American, and Esquivel solely the Hispanic. These writers offer an alternative definition for how societies portray ghosts. Movies and novels in the Western society depict these entities as horrors and unnatural forces representing the devil and satanic worship, a few examples of the movies are: Sinister, The Conjuring, The Shining, and The Others. These three writers questioned everything. Not everyone holds the same definition of ghosts, but the most autonomic response in the Western culture, are the creatures depicted on Halloween. The ghosts that appeared in these novels are the authors way of commenting upon the conversation regarding the purpose of ghosts. Their stories have several things in common: the ghost characters in each novel (focusing on Lydia from Everything I Never Told You and the two other ghost characters from the other novels) are all female, they serve the purpose of warning, and appear almost as if they were summoned from another character(s) in distress. Each author implemented the ghosts in different ways, Cisneros used a ghost who strengthen her familial relationships after death. Ng made use of metaphorical ghosts, and Esquivel used a ghost with strained familial relationships both while living and dead to make her point stronger. Interestingly, each author kept the ghosts primarily among family

The article “Whispers From The Grave” by Katia Bachko, it talks about ghost whisperers or people who talk to ghosts, it also talks about why people are so interested in ghost stories. One example to show that people are interested in ghost stories is they are spooky. The article states “Sarah Winchester starred in terror at Adam Coons, trying to comprehend the chilling words he had just uttered” (Bachko 4). Sarah was the wife to the man who owns the company of the Winchester rifle, this shows how the ghost story is spooky because, it makes the reader spooked of what could come next. If someone didn’t know what going to happen next they would wonder and question what would happen and generally people like stories when they have to guess what

According to Avery Gordon, a ghostly encounter, is a reference or an acknowledgement of some social spectacle or event happening that has taken place. Avery Gordon would use the 9/11 and the most current event of the Paris terror to describe he theories on ghost encounter “the fear of

Ghosts can be created through several methods from mentality to death. The narrator in the story Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston has her own ghosts, as do I. Her ghosts are generated through the past before and after her birth, while my ghosts are simply people from my past, such as Andrew and Jordan. Maxine's and my ghosts share numerous similarities and differences, such as mysteriousness, regrets, and broken hearts/dreams, but they are ours to conquer. "I am telling on her...." (pg. 16) as Maxine and I can agree, we are revealing the ghosts to the world.

Would it be because of the ongoing death or the vicious revenge that the characters have towards their enemies or maybe the love that is shared between the main characters? Now everyone is different and their reason for coming back to a television show or short story will be different. For example, if a person does not like a story or television show that revolves around the idea of death, because they think it is to goory or gruesome, then they will most likely stay away from not only that show, but shows alike. In contrast, the same idea can fall under anything, like a rollercoaster ride or scary movie. It is a known fact that if a person is scared of something or does not like it, than they will stay away.

Okay, I shall say with a scared heart or whatever a door has, that I definitely believe in ghosts. Let me explain. So I was hanging there on my hinges, like a normal door should, when suddenly, out of nowhere, SOMEBODY FLIES THROUGH MY FRAME. Yes and did I mention that that somebody happened to be Jacob Marley? The exact guy that has been dead for 7 YEARS! So as I’m trying to cope with the fact someone just flown through me, my friend Doorknob started to speak up.

Ghosts, as with any other misunderstood group or people, have been preyed upon by others without understanding. The lack of knowledge about ghosts and haunting activity has led people astray as to what they really are. What Hollywood and television portrays is very inaccurate and cannot be relied upon as truthful. They show these spirits of the dead as being evil in nature, filled with malice and harmful intent. But that this is not the case. The field of paranormal activity is amazing. It has caught the imagination of people from every walk of life. It has always interested me and has influenced me to pick this as the topic for my research. Through this research I wish to uncover the truth about the existence of ghosts.

There are many important and significant factors in a human being’s life. Without those elements, life stays incomplete. For instance, food, recreation, hobby, fun, and emotions are fundamentals of a normal life. One of those elements is every day talk. Everyday talk is the process in which people interact with each other and communicate their points of views (Tedpower, n.d.). This is a way for them to stay in contact with each other. This is important because human beings cannot live alone. They are social animals by the nature, which means at every point of their lives they need someone to talk to or communicate. If a person stays alone for a long time, he starts being depressed and frustrated which can lead to many odd behavioral traits. People who talk to each other or have a decent conversation with each other can be friends, family, colleagues, siblings, sub-ordinates, employers, or strangers.
