Ghosts of the Living
by Dave Juliano
Often we hear of cases in which a person sees an image of a person they know
while they person is really miles away at the time, alive. That's correct,
alive and breathing. This type of apparition is called a crisis apparition
and it is often studied by ghost researchers due to the similarities in these
apparitions and ghosts of the deceased. This phenomenon can also manifest
in the person hearing a voice of a friend or loved one with some message or
warning while the person who is heard speaking is no where near and totally
unaware that this has occurred. Most of these crisis apparitions occur when
a person is in some form of danger or pain. It appears the person in danger
makes psychic contact with a loved one miles away to let them know something
is not right. The person in crisis is not aware that they are doing this.
Here are a few examples of phenomenon:
December 1943: Mrs. Violet Almond was awakened by an apparition of her
husband that floated above her for a few minutes. She learned later that her
husband, who was on a battlefield in North Africa, was being shelled heavily
and was praying to God to save him so he could see his wife again at the
exact time she was seeing his apparition in their bedroom.

1951 - Helen Crone saw an apparition of a close friend who was alive miles
away. The agitated apparition instructed her to go check on her baby. When
she did this she found her child had managed to open a drawer full of sharp
knives and was about to play with them.

These crisis apparitions may help us understand how and why we see ghosts.,
especially deceased human ones who are earthbound or just visiting. The
person in crisis some how projects an energy to another person. The
receiver's brain translates the energy into a human like figure that
resembles the sender. Is this the same energy that is left behind or
accompanies a deceased human spirit? Some people who are more "in tune" with
a particular spirit's energy may see a full bodied apparition just like in
many crisis apparitions. Others may not interpret the energy the same or at
all and just see a light, a mist, or nothing. We can apply this theory of
the spirit energy interpretation to spirit photos as well. The majority of
photos are not full bodied apparitions but what researchers believe are
spirits energy that the camera translates into the form of orbs, mists,
vortexes and light rods. I view crisis apparitions as more proof that
there is a part of us that can leave the physical body or live on without it
and still make contact with others, accomplish tasks and operate as an
intelligent entity. I think this is what we call the soul.
