| MEMORY POSSESION |
Author: Lisa
This is a new theory by one of my favorite paranormal researchers/authors: Vince Wilson. I
have never been so excited about a ghost theory before. I'm going to take some information
directly from his book "Ghost Science," which I highley recommend by myself to all of you to
buy-it's not that expensive and has a wealth of groundbreaking information.
According to VW:
Many haunted locations have areas in them that have brought about human experiences like
the feeling of being pushed down the stairs or the feel of a cold breath down the back of the
neck or a feeling of dread, sadness or some other emotion. The theory of memory possession
claims that these aren't ghosts having this effect on you, but rather you are possessing the
residual memories/emotions left over from another person in another time/place. For example,
instead of you feeling a ghostly presence pushing you down the stairs, what you are feeling is
instead what another person felt when they were pushed down the stairs, and you are picking
up on their psychic imprint at the time of the incident.
He backs up this theory by suggesting it is very similar to when a heart donor patient receives a
new heart from someone and immediately begins to change, personalities can change,
emotions can change, even tastes such as food, friends, music, et cetera. Heart donor patients
may even find that they have retained some of the memories of the person they received the
heart from. This is known as systemic memory and is well documented in the medical sciences
as a transfer of information electromagnetically between the brain and the heart. Similarly, if an
area can acquire an electromagnetic resonance (EMR), (for example when someone dies they
can leave an imprint in the area) which is close to or the same as the wavelength and
frequency of the human brain, then maybe they can influence the electrically stimulated
proteins of the human brain that store memory given the right circumstances to do so.
This is how VW feels memory possession corresponds to what we currently know
about haunting types:
Residual hauntings: In a residual haunting, the ghosts are not beings who are aware of your
presence nor do they participate with you in any way. Instead, the phenomena are merely an
imprint on an environment that has somehow managed to replay itself over and over. What if
those imprints are so strong that not only can you see them taking place, but you could also
experience the events as a participant?
Intelligent hauntings: If it is true that when the conditions are exactly right, an imprint can be left
on the environment as a residual event, then in the case of an intelligent haunt, why not an
entire copy/imprint? "Maybe when conditions are right, not only can the events of the past be
saved into an area via EMR, but a copy of a person's mind!" That is how an intelligent haunt
can seem to interact and respond to it's environment, although it cannot retain information
because the copy is just that; a hard copy.it cannot be added to but can answer questions, et
cetera, for EVP work.
