Haunting

What haunts you?

What lays so heavily on your mind that you can't shake it off?

Ghosts? Boogie men? Great Aunt Sara? A fear of being poor, or that dogs will attack you? 

Whatever you are deathly afraid of becomes the ghost that hones in on your sonar.

It doesn't matter if other people feel the same way or not. If that feeling is overhwelmingly real for you, it affects you just as if it were as real as rain. Because it is.

If that ghost doesn't show up on an EVP, or whatever, but it still makes your heart thud, or keeps you awake nights, or causes you to react without thinking, it is a danger to you.

At the very least it is real as your reaction to it.

Are you haunted by the possibility of loose dogs being nearby? I am.

Perhaps you are haunted by the way you treated someone in the past? The result of your actions may very well come back at you.

We are cause and effect creatures and our feelings create both of those.

Our sensibilities create personalized ghosts, ready, willing and able to haunt the one they belong to.
