Q&A for How to Talk to Ghosts

Say "Thanks for your time, we have to leave now." Then leave the area with a blank mind, having the intention only of getting on with your daily chores so that you're neither scared nor arrogant.

If they say "go away," they are obviously not appreciating your presence. If something like this happens, just politely apologize and end the conversation. Remember you didn't end the conversation because you were afraid, you simply did it to be respectful.

If the ghost/spirit/demon is not causing you physical or mental harm, and is acting like a friend would, sure!

Ask the ghost if it is still present and be observant. However, don't be fooled by your senses -- if you're tired, anxious, worried, gullible, fearful, intellectually lazy or simply enjoy being scared, anything and everything could be a "sign" of a ghost in the house. Be on your guard.

It depends, some ghosts appear totally clear, others may be a black cloud floating around. Sometimes you can just see the outline of a person. If you see a ghost don't be afraid try to communicate with it. Ghosts are just spirits with unfinished business

Do not attempt this alone if you are inexperienced. Being alone could make you appear vulnerable to negative spirits. Not something you want.

Try going to a place he loved. Take out your phone and turn on the voice recorder. Speak to your grandfather, ask him questions, and pause after, giving him time to answer. When you're finished, play back the recording.

Have the intention to talk and the ghost will know. Think about it and will it to happen.

It depends on the way you are trying to contact it. If you are doing it through a ouija board, ask "spirits are you here with us?". Keep saying this at a normal speed, and stay concentrated and calm. A spirit will eventually start talking to you.

Just say a goodbye or a prayer. If the ghost doesn't go away and/or is too aggressive, try pouring salt out.

Try to make the spirit bored or tired with you, or try to please it and make it happy enough to leave you in peace. If these things still don't work, just keep stalling for time. Do not anger it; if you anger it or are disrespectful to it, it will be displeased and will do anything to rid you.

Because they are easily scared by things and start to imagine all sorts of bumps in the night. Having other people around reassures them.

I wouldn't recommend accepting help from any spirits, nice or mean, for your own safety. However, if you were willing to take the risk, then you could let the spirit help you with whatever your problem is.

There's no way to know this for sure, but it's definitely a possibility.

You don't. Try asking to find out.

Be calm and polite.

If you've tried multiple times and nothing is happening, there could be two reasons why. First off, it might just not want to communicate with you in the first place, so I wouldn't push it. It could also be that they don't have enough energy to communicate, so you should try again in a few days.

I'm sure some would talk that way to confuse people, but they most likely wouldn't normally. It would probably take more effort for a ghost to talk backwards. As for the library question, yes, a ghost or spirit can reside anywhere that a person once lived or died. If somebody died in the library or on the land before the building was built, a spirit could haunt it.

Yes, you can. Just make sure you're polite, and don't try to change anything. Being stuck in sleep paralysis can cause you to be paralyzed for a couple of minutes.

If you are talking to a spirit, and it wants to respond to you, it will make it very clear that you aren't just talking to air. A lot of spirits want attention, so if nothing obvious happens, it is likely that there are no spirits around who are willing to talk.

You may notice changes in temperature or strange sounds if a spirit is present. You can find a spirt anywhere a person died or at a cemetary but be cautious because not all spirts are friendly.

You don't know if the spirit is good. I would advise keeping Holy Water, saying a prayer before you start, and say "In the name of Jesus our lord do not come home with us" at the end.

Then you should try communicating with that ghost. Ask them why they are there or why they are haunting you. You should try talking to a priest or someone you can trust.

You should use a Ouija board to communicate with the spirit and ask it why it is following you.

Consider using a Ouija board a few times until you have some experience. Try to get a good ghost, and try to get the same a few times. Then, when you feel you are comfortable enough with the ghost, you may ask it politely what might happen with future humans talking to ghosts.

You could try talking, as you would to a normal person.

They possibly could, which is one reason you need a clear and focused mind.

Ask if the spirit is present, and look for a sign. If something points to the ghost being with you, then make it clear you wish for it to stop following you and to go back to its world. Make sure to be polite, and not to come off as scared or arrogant, that might make the ghost question if you're serious. If the ghost still doesn't leave, contact a professional and stay in a circle of salt. Also smudge, the area with the ghost.

You do not have to believe in ghosts. However if you do not believe in them, you may have a hard time talking to them.

It’s better not to, considering other spirits can disturb your conversation. The best place to talk to your grandma is a place she loved, a place that she was in often. The cemetery may not be her favorite place, so don’t meet up with her there.
