We get asked all the time whether or not ghosts are harmful and whether or not it is safe to live with a ghosts? The simple answer is an astounding YES to the first question and a definite NO to the second one. Ghosts (we’ll use that term generally to refer to all non-living beings, but you learn the different types of ghosts look at our other articles) are definitely not safe to live with and if you believe you do live with ghosts or other spiritual entities you should definitely not try to ignore it or gut it out.
Today ghosts are often popular and some people may even consider living with a ghost to be “cool” or comforting, thinking that dear Uncle Gary is hanging around you, looking over you and keeping you safe, they are actually very harmful. Most people with ghosts report living in a constant state of fear, which is, of course, very harmful to your health and mental well-being. So even if the ghost simply hangs around and does nothing that appears outwardly harmful it will draw energy from you leading to stress related problems.
The big problem that living with a ghost causes is that they draw energy from you. While you are living you draw your energy from an infinite supply but a ghost does not have that ability and therefore to survive it has to draw energy from you. The ghost may follow you and siphon off small amounts of energy here and there, or it may fully attach to you and draw as much as it wants.
When a ghost or other entity draws our energy it can lead to feeling run down, lazy, confused, disorganized, erratic, short tempered, and even very ill. If you live with a ghost sooner or later it will compromise your mental or physical health.
Lastly, living with a ghost is also harmful to the ghost. The natural order of things is for spirits to move on to other planes of existence after death and continue their journey. A ghost is often stuck and unable to move further; left alone the ghost will only forget more and more that it was every anything more than a ghost and become more and more lost. Helping the ghost “cross-over” to the next level of existence is not only good for you but it is an act of kindness towards them.
