Welcome to Gaia! ::

"A Ghost can have any form."Professor Crest began."Most,though, apeear as their living selves.European folk tales say that ghosts could eat,dirnk and carry out other bodily functions.This is false for ghost cannot eat or drink."She took a deep breath hoping she was doing good."The Egypitians belived the spirits of the dead could come back into their bodies.Many other cultures belived they could take on other forms.Such as demons,and even animals and plants.Some cultures honered the ghosts instead of fearing them.The Romans had a festival called the feast of Lemuralia."She looked around at her students hoping they were taking notes.The owners of the home would wake up in the middle of the night and march around the house leaving a trail of black beans behind them."Professor Crest walked around the room,looking at every student."'With the beans,I buy back my house and my family.'The men would say as the marched around the house.They would repeat this nine times so that the dead could gather up the offerings.The the men would clash a bronze symbol and shout,'Spirts of my ancestors depart!'They belived after this that the restless ghosts would leave their homes until next year.There are ways to get rid of a ghost.Some people hire exorcists.But some ghost,however, will leave if you bury their bones by a crossroads.Thsi should confuse then for eternity because they have a poor sense of direction.Any questions?"
