Ghost Hunters and Spiritualists

G goblins, ghouls and ghosts H haunted houses, blood running cold with fright O ornery children threatened by them S so they will submit to harried parents T truthfully I do not like the connotation of the word ghost H haunting is fascinating to eleven and thirteen-year-olds U under guise of slumber parties now called sleepovers N nervous giggling, as they get out the Ouija board T tittering, in an uncomfortable pre-teen way E each pushing it toward certain letters R reacting in horror at what they spell S sleeping fitfully not in their own beds, imagining the worst. A am I confused these are lumped together? Yes. N Not able to understand how they are the same D daring to enlighten an open-minded reader S spiritualists follow their heart P paranormal things happen to them I intuition shows them a new way of thinking R reality of theirs must be perceived or understood I it cannot be explained, it must be felt and lived. T true to themselves, they know without knowing how they know U under fire sometimes for beliefs thrust upon them by unseen forces A angelic messengers seek them out because they receive messages L long-time persecuted for living with God’s gift of psychic perception I it has to be experienced, for it cannot be imagined in its fullness. S Sensing, smelling, occasionally seeing wisps of T tantalising flecks of something S Spirit, showing herself, in safety of a believer 9-19-2018 Ghost Hunters and Spiritualists Contests Sponsor: Kevin Shaw
