10 Unexpected Ways to Communicate With Ghosts

If you are looking for a way to make contact with a departed friend or relative, Megan Grant lists ten unexpected ways to communicate with ghosts.

Even since I saw Casper, I wanted to be able to communicate with ghosts. As an adult, I became jealous of psychics and mediums like Lisa Williams and Sylvia Browne for their ability to communicate with the dead. So, I just spent a whole bunch of time researching unexpected ways to communicate with ghosts. Because even though I'm not nearly as cool as people like Williams and Browne, I would still like to know how to summon the spirits of cute little ghosts with giant heads like Casper.

How to Speak With Spirits Using a Pendulum

You may have heard that to speak with spirits, you must develop your psychic senses. That is true if you want to see or hear spirist, but listening is not the only way to get information from spirits. Using a pendulum is an alternative method that doesn't require any psychic ability. For most people, it is easy to learn and can be used to give quite detailed answers.

Pendulums are easy to find in New Age stores or online, but you can make your own if you want. Take something like a small crystal, pendant, ring, or other small, weighted object and attach it to a necklace chain, ribbon, string, or some other kind of strand. To use the pendulum, hold it by the end of the strand with the weighted object at the other end.

Automatic Writing: Communication from the Spirits?

The Haunted Museum explores automatic writing. Is it communication from the spirits? To learn how to do it yourself, read my post Automatic Writing for Divination.

Since the early days of Spiritualism, automatic writing has been accepted as a way for trance mediums, and sometimes ordinary people, to receive communications from the spirit world. Man has always longed to communicate with the spirits and thanks to the founding of the Spiritualist movement, he now had a method of doing so. The original communications, like those of the Fox Sisters in Hydesville, were little more than knocks and raps that spelled out long and elaborate methods. Most became frustrated by such slow methods of communication and began looking for something faster -- and much more direct. Not long after, the art of "automatic writing" was born.

Automatic writing is essentially writing that is done in an altered state of consciousness that is attributed to spirits of the dead. It is believed by some that the spirits literally manipulate the writing utensil in the hands of the medium to communicate, as the writer is often unaware of what is being written and often even scrawls out text in handwriting that is markedly different than his own.
