What Makes A Place Haunted?


World over there are places believed to be haunted. Several hotels, mansions, cemeteries and palaces have their story to narrate. Ghosts and spirits often stem from places where there is pain and sufferings involved for few people.

These places give an eerie feeling, when visited. The ghosts and spirits are found in places where they believe they have a connection or where they were prior to their death.  Ghosts are known to make their presence felt to all sorts of people when they visit such places. They are known to be stronger when they possess the energy they require to be stronger and the reason why they settle for isolated and lonely habitats.

As per some peoples accounts, some ghosts are so powerful that they can manifest themselves in a physical form to narrate their tale of woe. They are not known to have preferences for people who believe in them or not. Irrespective of the person and the place they exist. Most are believed to hold onto their past memories and try and avenge their death from those responsible for it.

Why Are Ghosts White?


Legends have it ghosts appear before people draped in all white. White is known to be a serene color and after a person  dies even they become calm and more serene and only lose their temper in case of an impending revenge. They get back at those with a vengeance from whom they want to avenge their death. But most ghosts are harmless.

Because the ghosts are universally invisible they appear in white as it is the only color that is visible even in pitch darkness. Ghosts are associated with all things scary, the reason why they are said to appear in the night. White for long has been the universal color for the ghosts.

Halloween, the day when all things morbid are celebrated the ghosts characters appear in all white to accentuate their presence. The reason behind ghosts being white may have probably emanated from here.
