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
