Recently I received a great question about the length of time ghosts stay trapped on Earth: I now think about all of these remote, inaccessible places in the world where people can't easily be helped. Part of me also wonders whether some kind of limit is placed on the length a ghost is suffering in isolation for, only since there don't seem to be any truly ancient ghosts reported.
Q and ;A: Is there a Length of Time for a Ghost to be Earthbound?
A: That's a good question about a limit of time a ghost may linger. Having been over to England I encountered many ghosts from the 1100s to present day so I do know there are many ancient ghosts around.The reason why there are not a lot of ancient ghosts is that when some entities cross over into the light other ghosts follow. When light opens, it's a doorway to the other side, and ghosts can often sense peace there. So, it would make sense to me that Earthbound ghosts would follow others into the light. I get the sense that it happens often in hospitals, prisons and cemeteries where the light can often be found.
There are, however, exceptions. The ghosts who choose not to go into those doorways of light likely stay behind for their original reasons like fear of the other side, or being happy in their earthly residence. It all comes down to individual choice.
