I was just going to go out my kitchen door to get my newspaper, and there he was. About 5' tall, completely white, and never said a word (later, I realized that he probably didn't speak because he had no physical voice to speak with).

Still on my two steps entry, he looked over my shoulder--and I looked over my shoulder also to see what he might have been looking at--and I saw nothing unusual

Later, I surmised, he maybe was just curious as to what the inside of my house looked like.

Then I gained courage as to how to send him on his away.
----

As it so happened, there was a metal pan lid on my kitchen counter, which I picked up, and slammed back down on the counter. (I suppose he couldn't hear it, but it gave me more courage.)

Next, I told him, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I demand you to disappear and never return again", at which point he did just as he was instructed to do, and disappeared.

I kid you not.





















a was a metal lid on my sink counter, which I picked up, and then slammed down again, and then announced to the ghost, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to leave, and never come to my door again".

Snicker as you may--it worked for me.

I kid you not. :)

So ghosts have to use doors to gain access? The whole point of ghostly immateriality is the ability to pass through walls etc.

And it sounds like this ghost had never heard of a newfangled invention called a "window."

One theory of ghosts is that they are time slips or some kind of recording, so going through a door is what they used to do. My parents' house supposedly had a ghost, which would go through a former door every day at a certain time... which was blocked off by the time my parents moved in there.

what are the checklist and test procedures for authoritatively identifying a ghost?

If you reach out to shake its hand, a ghost will reciprocate but you won't feel anything because s/he doesn't have a physical body.

I thought you'd know that, DB, fine priesthood holder that you were!

Mormons have obviously never heard of ectoplasm. Or that scene in "Ghostbusters" where Dan Aykroyd gets another part of his body "shaken".

Be nice to 'ghosts'!!! I have never seen those passed appear that way, but I would have tried to communicate with him vocally or using telepathy.

They are US!

It probably sensed your fear and left. Ghosts are telepathic so you can communicate with them if you want. Otherwise they are like regular people. Some good, some bad. Most have attachments here that keep them hanging around.

Now that they know that you can see them, word might get around and you could see more ghosts. If it was me, I would try to get them to prank my friends.

Interesting. I wonder if he used to live in your house?

You can just firmly ask the ghost to go, as you would any other stranger standing by your door.

If it's only been a week then how do you know this "ghost" may not return? Now I know of two missionaries and a branch president who were on the top of a mountain and saw two beings who appeared to them. Not ghosts, and they were told not to tell anyone after their told the mission president and stake president. One of them told me before he died. So here were three Latter-day Saints praying on a mountain and had a "vision of two beings?"

Hair dryers work really well too or a strong electric fan. The War in Heaven was actually fought that way. That's why spirits are so afraid of Jesus. He had a really big air hose and compressor and satan only had a Chinese paper hand fan. It was never a fair fight.

I'd ah mentioned it.

Besides, a ghost is not a physical entity--that's why he is a ghost. (Geese--do I have to tell you everything about them?)

I don't get no respect from some of yous. Now--maybe--I'm not going to tell you about other ghosts I've seen (and I've seen more than my share, but mostly good guys/gals, with an exception here and there).

I can be coxed.

I saw a ghost in an old hotel in a very old building in England, and I don't believe in ghosts. But there he was, and he left by the transom window, not the door.

That's the PROBLEM with Mormons/ LDS Patterns, Behaviours, Beliefs... (Christian) Practices

Which would only work on Christ Jesus- right? Because the devil, being in command of negative/ evil/ scary, visitations?

If if were negative, we can Lucidly be aware we are dreaming, and Command Them Ourselves... By the power within all living life-

Fight or Flight-

I would usually flight, but once, while reading a book on - and practicing - Lucid Dreaming, I became aware of the fact that I was in a dream when this "monster"/ beast/ "scary deamon"/ whatever appeared, and, prepared, I let out a ROAR/ Warning Shout/ whatever, which, scaring the 'shiFt' out of the beast, sending it running in the other direction.

I haven't had any scary or intimidating/ wake-up/ almost awakening dreams in a great many years.

Now I mostly fly, or lose or find things, meet incredible people (like in real life, sometimes), or (good?) friends/ family/ like family "strangers".

Good luck!

I think "JESUS CHRIST", though us, is fine, and whichever tool we have is fine.

I (think I) use my VOICE and ARMS... because You Can't Always Rely On Your Legs. Everyone knows that.

We just have to be greater than the beast, sometimes, like if/ when facing a bear, or other scenario, when we have to become greater than our attacker/ demon/ conflict/ experience/ episode/ scene/ scary person...

Lucid Dreaming

It's worth looking into

Please let us know if you have any further insights or thoughts about this experience.

I believe you saw what you said you saw. And I think at some point in the future you may know more about this.

When my father started to see ghosts, it turned out to be intraocular damage including floaters and retinal detachment.

In my mother’s case, she has visual hallucinations in her right field of vision, even though that side was affected by a stroke.

In college, one of our classmates suffered hallucinations caused by schizophrenia which appeared every bit as real to her as everything else.

The brain works mighty hard to interpret all inputs to the point of guessing very badly at times what it thinks it’s experiencing - and strongly believing it.

Seek medical attention to rule out disease related causes.
