 But my whole reason for posting was the confusion over Ryobi's comment. lol. If she could clear that up for me, that'd be great. 

[onishadowolf]

Yeah that would be good.

[Ryobi]

Wait, what am I clearing up, beyond confused here 

[Kadesh]

To be honest Ryobi, what would be the difference. Or do you mean is it a ghost as we assume it to be or is it a creature of the non-corporeal world that never was a person? As for bringing itself to the corporeal world oni, you mean making itself corporeal again? Like a solid ghost? As far as I understand it takes a lot of energy for a ghost just to be seen or heard so manifesting itself as a solid being could be possibe but I doubt indefinitely.

Well if all ghosts are simply spirits who passed into the corporeal world, then 'the sight' would be obsolete. If mediums can see ghosts as the people they were instead of seeing into the non-corporeal realm, then that would drastically change the limitations of that gift.

 That

It would mean that a 'medium' with this ability would instead be identifying a persons life-force and percieving their past form instead of percieving a spirit in the other realm. It would mean that a person who can see ghosts doesn't necessarily have a stronger contact with the other realm but with energy manipulation.

In other words, some people can see the future, these kinds of mediums can see the past when triggered by a specific energy.

I like that Ryobi.

[Kadesh]

 Hmm... that actually helps me a LOT.

[Ryobi]

Glad to know it helps, took me a while to realise what I was talking about as well.

[onishadowolf]

Now what?

[Kadesh]

 Back to trying to figure out how they draw the energy to manifest themselves like that?

[onishadowolf]

Oh yeah, that's what. Let's see, how about like a psychic vampire.?.

[Kadesh]

 But if it's one of the hitch-hiker stories, it's most likely out in the middle of BFE, so what are they drawing from?? Are spirits really powerful enough to draw from distances? And, if so, wouldn't someone with sight notice and do something about it?

[onishadowolf]

What if it's the environment, or other unknown source?

[Ryobi]

Well, excess energy is usually found around generally manic people, cities (large crowds etc) or much older places that bear traces of energy that has been left behind in a sense.

One question, why is it that water is able to transmit electric energy however it is usually seen as a cleansing force when faced with a buil up of negative spiritual energy?

Otherwise, places that get a lot of rain and often or established cities built on the water would probably have the highest number of ghost sightings... logically.

[onishadowolf]

Hmm, good question. Seems a little paradoxical.
