Why do disaster victims often remain earthbound?
Residual energy can be attached to places, people or objects a spirit has loved, for decades or even centuries after a death.
Traumatic deaths in particular tend to leave behind quite a bit of residual energy due to the fear, panic, and sometimes anger, they generate.
In Yarmouth, where I live, I always got a funny feeling crossing the River Bure. I’d feel dizzy and sick every time. It wasn’t until years later I learnt of the Yarmouth suspension bridge collapse in 1845.
On 2nd May that year, a crowd had gathered to watch a bizarre circus stunt, featuring a clown in a bathtub, apparently being pulled by four geese, on the river below. When the bridge gave way 79 people, including 59 children, were killed.
On one investigation of a bank building near the site of the tragedy we had a little boy come through, talking about a clown and a boat and we made the link.
Objects linked to a disaster can hold a lot of energy. When we investigated St George’s Theatre in Yarmouth, we were confused when a ship’s captain came through. Then we learnt that many of the wooden beams used to build the theatre had been reclaimed from shipwrecks!
Water conducts energy, so you tend to get a lot of paranormal energy by rivers or seas. There are numerous reports of ghostly galleons spotted out at sea. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the spirits of the Titanic – and the ship itself – lived on.
It’s hard to hold a paranormal investigation in the middle of the ocean for obvious reasons, but I’m willing to bet if you did, you might well glimpse the Titanic, or even hear her engine noise…
