Places near water

Hey Guys,
I heard of a theory that places near or on water are more likely to have paranormal activity.
Why?
Tim
Sounds interesting...Go on.

PPI Tracy

Yes.  I sure have.  It is said that it somehow fosters the energy that spirits need to manifest/exist.  That is all I know, but yes, I have heard that before.  I'm not sure what the reasoning is behind it though. 


PPI Tim

I also wondered if places near fresh water had more paranormal activity then places near saltwater?
Sounds interesting...Go on.

That is an interesting theory to ponder.  I would think it might be saltwater, because we hear of rock with a high content of say, Limestone or Granite, having the ability to 'hold" paranormal activity.  Could minerals be the key?  Could I be completely nuts?  Do I need more coffee?....yup.


PPI Tim

Do you think it has to do with the salt content?
Sounds interesting...Go on.

Some theories, however, say ghosts don't like water. When I was in South Carolina people would paint the roofs of their porches "haint blue" to ward off ghosts. The theory was that ghosts don't like water and that particular shade of blue closely approximates the color of water.

Until someone actually starts collecting data that shows some type of correlation, I think it's all just speculation.

I think that it all depends where the ghost resides.
If the tragic event happened in or on the water, you will hear stories of hauntings on or near a source of water.
If the tragic event happened on land, you will hear stories of hauntings that are on land.

I believe that Jason is right. This would be one of those issues that a collective database would be good to have so statistics could be generated.
Sounds interesting...Go on.
