Entry 1.2: Internet Research

A Ghost is considered as a spirit of a human being appears in visible form after the death. The existence of ghost is always controversial between different various points of views and also one's religion, culture or belief in general. I am a Catholic who was taught it is sinful to try to contact or control the dead spirits; at the same time I'm an Asian where the culture is generally built on Buddhism and we have different visions of souls, spirits and ghosts.

Until I decided to post this entry of research about ghosts, I completely forgot about the group name which happen to be Ghostface. Maybe I meant to be this group or I was meant to have ghost in my new apartment. I decided to do a research of ghost and haunted houses when a strange woman's laughing sound from somewhere inside my room woke me up last saturday night. I usually don't get scared by ghosts but this one really bothered me because it woke me up when I only had 4 hours to sleep. This was going to be a problem if it was to happen again.

There is this wonderful community called Ghost Research Society http://www.ghostresearch.org/ where a group of people take reports of the haunted houses, they take action by visiting the site and actively investigate. They also analyze spirit photographs. After my long hours of research in a hope of scaring this strange lady soul from my apartment, this was the only organization that real people are serious about this kind of unexplained issue.

Western ghosts includes like Vampires and Zombies are all scary but to me Asian ghosts are the scariest thing ever. I thought it was only me because I'm from that culture and I was educated to be afraid of them, but this New York Times article is stressing that Asian ghost stories are the best. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/08/movies/08RAFF.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5062&en=85cb99708b1fb724&ex=1055649600

I was trying to tell the ghost to leave me alone in a nice way, but I wasn't sure whether I had to tell her in English or in my language. Do people get to understand all the universal languages when the die? Can they read minds already without me having to say it? So many questions but I guess we'll never have the clear answer.
