Apparitions Of The Living
There is a phenomenon that is referred to as “Arrival Cases”, and is basically a situation where an apparition of the person appears in advance of the actual person. People who see the apparition of the person have been known to interact with the apparition and the projecting person is not usually aware of appearing at a location until told they were there.
There have been some noted cases of this phenomenon and one of the most notable was one Mark Twain actually described. He told how he was at a dinner party and met a woman he knew however, the real woman was on a train on her way to the town where the dinner party was being held.
There has been some research done on this phenomenon by the Society for Psychical Research in London, and it was determined that in some cases, intent and state of mind seemed to be relevant factors. Basically, a person is expected to arrive, and in transit is intent on getting there.
How many times have you heard people talking about someone who walks into a room and the room lights up and becomes livelier? Or, the reverse happens when someone dynamic leaves a room. I think we all exude a certain amount of energy and it is felt by those around us. If you walk into a room that you think is unoccupied, but you still feel a presence and learn that there is someone there you did not see.
This is obviously just a theory, but I truly think that our own energy can and does play a part in some paranormal phenomena. In fact, our group have gotten some very compelling EVPs while we are all talking and laughing amongst ourselves on an investigation. Our energy is providing the necessary energy for the environment to cause us to capture paranormal activity.
