Question about ghosts...?

Question

I saw an episode of "A Haunting" earlier where an entity entered the body of a medium/deamonologist and spoke through her via pen and paper. The entity/ghost in this haunting was from 1888. I would like to know why, if this entity/ghost was from 1888, why was it writing in modern day english rather than the english spoken from the ghosts time when he was alive? "Geteth outist of thine abode, kind sir" --- instead of "get out".

And why don't they ever write in a foreign language?

LOL

Answer 1

Because that junk is fake.

Answer 2

my guess without know the full facts of the case is the "medium/demonologists" was a fraud and you caught on to one of there tricks  quicker then the people they were tricking

but for the sake of the show it was a reenactment so for time and money purposes i'm sure they didn't think of that many details

Answer 3

ask the movie director

Answer 4

You are a fool.  The language you suggest would be similar to elizabethan, from like the 15 or 1600's.  The late 1880's was like the old west, cowboys and such.  If you want to poke fun at other people believing stupid things, you shouldn't expose your own ignorance in the process.  Makes you look that much more stupid.

Answer 5

My mom and dad have a friend that is from Finland and my dad did pretty much the same thing your talking about it is called automatic writing and this is where a spirit takes over and writes through the person. Here is what happened. The friend from Finland's father had passed away and her father spoke no English what so ever and my dad didn't speak Finnish at all. My dad was taken over by this lady's dad and my dad wrote out a several page message from her dad completely in Finnish. My dad said when her father came through him to write his message he experienced a very intense pain in his chest and that's when she told my dad that her father had died from a heart attack. After this happened my dad said he was done with all the readings and automatic writing stuff because he didn't like having that feeling of going through someone's heart attack. I do readings for a few friends and I prefer not to have the spirits come in and speak through me and just come through by mental images. Have I ever had someone speak through me? The answer is Yes! And I also hated the feeling and won't allow it to happen.

  

Answer 6

You make a fair point. I think most of these shows are faked. When evp is captured in other countries it is almost always in their language and dialect. It all depends on the geographics, I think.  

Answer 7

It all depends on the translator.

Answer 8

They do often write in foreign languages and I think you misrepresent that particular show. I believe that they said that it did communicate in old english.  

Answer 9

I know! I love watching those shows just to laugh at the things the parapsychologists say. It's hilarious. It'd be much funnier if the ghosts said something rude in old English!

Answer 10

it's becuase they are in another dimention, not to mention God gives them the abiltiy to do this.

i don't beleive this c**p.

Answer 11

Because it's a reenactment. Honestly though, if they started talking a foreign language, most people would probably think they were talking gibberish. Also, when a spirit goes through a medium, it sees inside them and knows their memories as well, so modern english does make sense in some cases.

As far as foreign language. I encountered one that spoke Arabic one time. Scared the living h**l out of me when I finally translated what it was saying. I'd never heard, seen, or read Arabic before that,and I certainly don't care to hear, see, or read it ever again.

Answer 12

Ive heard this one before and it was answered by Derek Achora a well know Physchic and medium....

Apparently there are no language barriers in Spirit....Thats it...

Answer 13

I agree that those programs are a crock of excrement but to be fair I don't think you'll find that English in 1888 was hugely different than it is today.

Although it would be interesting to see a transcript and see if you could catch them out using words or phrases not known of in those times.

But I am sure if you believe hard enough and hold your tongue at the right angle you will find an almost plausible reason for any discrepancies.
