We have all heard of and/or experienced the stories of "Haunted Houses" which are possessed by the Souls of the Dead or somesuch, but I was just thinking that whether paranormal activity we experience in our own homes is caused through the manifestation of our own emotions? -- Recently, I have been have been experiencing a fair bit of anxiety and I have noticed more and more paranormal activity at home. Raw emotion is pure energy after all; Whether it could heighten the activity of an already functioning ghost or be powerful enough to create its own functioning manifestation is quite puzzling but either way I do believe that it has some effect.

can raw emotion leave a footprint.i think so.i also believe there is some fact in what you have posted.does our energy stir them up,after all they were like us once.

*Sigh*, no, Ghosts are not the "manifestation of emotions", they are not "energy" either. And Emotion is not "pure energy". Emotion is a word that describes your manifestation of energy and what you do with it. You can have an excited person that displays little energy, or a scared person that has no energy at all. But if the person cranks on the energy, then what you will see is what the person is doing with all that energy. Like a hose, the water rushing though the hose could be thought of as energy. The nozzle gives control over the result the energy will have as it influences the world around it.

So emotion is what the person is doing with with his energy. There is no such thing as no emotion because you are always doing something even when seemingly doing nothing.

And as for ghosts, I am afraid your explanation needs work. Look all you want, but if you look for energy, you will never see yourself or another, only what you or him become.

It has been considered, that some hauntings could be a form of subconscious psychic manifestations. But if this is the case, then all paranormal activity will cease, when the person responsible, is not present.

Some people think that the poltergeist type haunts are caused by a stressed persons emotions creating its out "entity" that acts on it's own. That may be why those type of hauntings can have major activity at one point and cease after days or weeks when the persons stress has gone. I think it is just a theory but it's interesting.

I believe there may be something to this idea, that a person's emotional focus and intensity can cause what seems to be paranormal activity, but in reality is more of a psychic phenomenon such as telekinesis appearing to be the activity of a poltergeist. However, this intensity and focus of emotion could be caused by despair over a loss or the death of someone close to the person(s) experiencing the phenomenon. Also, I believe that maybe healing from hypnotic regression to an apparent past life may actually be the manifestation of an emotional need for an exotic explanation for the illness or phobia and in cases of people speaking a language fluently after no apparent experience with the language may actually be a case in which they simply weren't aware of knowledge they gathered from unconsciously overhearing conversations by people speaking that language, perhaps at a very young age. They may just have been blocking the acquisition of the skill in question until they felt a need in some way. Sometimes, people make significant leaps in the acquisition of skills or knowledge at amazing speeds. The same can also be said about regional, cultural, and historical knowledge or any other kind of knowledge that an individual may have an affinity for. Also, I think that a parent can pass on talent, skill, and maybe knowledge gained before the conception or birth of the child in question. Humanity still has a lot to learn about the nature of talent and all the possible ways someone can learn something new. I think all of these ideas are worth further investigation/research, especially if they have the potential for improving mankind's abilities to master ourselves and our interaction with our environments.
