Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a
general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits
(crossed over). Here's this week's question:
Q: What causes a spirit to linger in this realm? How common
is this?
A: Ghosts are the entities who choose to remain Earthbound.
Spirits have crossed over into the light. I made that distinction in my
breakthrough book "Ghosts and Spirits" because they're not the same.
It's "Location, location, location."
As for what "causes"
people's or a pet's ghost to linger in this realm - it's actually personal
choice! Some people stay to try and
"help" grieving family members (but Ironically they can only do this
if they cross over and become a spirit), or they may have unfinished business...
or they may be seeking forgiveness for something they did to hurt someone. Or
if they're deeply religious, they may fear the other side (because we have an
awakening when we die, which is a life review of all good and bad things we've
done).

There are many more reasons,
but it's an individual choice. My advice to everyone - Cross Over ASAP! Lingering as a ghost is like living in an
eternal purgatory of sorts because they can't speak to spirits, and only a
medium (who is needed to cross them over).
It isn't common
for people to stay as ghosts. I would say that 95% cross over. Paranormal
investigators and mediums are called to help the other 5% cross (because for
some reason, after they're a ghost for a short time, they lose the ability to
cross over).
