I have seen people get scratched by spirits. Some people have had their hair pulled. Can spirits physically hurt us?
Yes. Spirits can physically hurt you, but they would rather control your mind first. They need you to be curious, so they can begin to gain control over you.
I have never been physically hurt. So why should I be concerned?
Remember, the spirits are trying to gain control over you. In order to achieve their goal, they need to influence your mind. They need you to be a willing (active or passive) partner in their activities. If they physically harmed people all of the time, many casual investigators would stop seeking out spirits or would look for ways to defeat them. They are going after your mind and they are much smarter than you are. As you continue to engage spirits, you give them additional opportunities to influence your mind.
How do spirits influence my mind? (This is a question that could take many pages to answer. The website has a lot of detail on this question, so please be sure to study the entire website carefully.)
Spirits will start by making you curious. They may make noises, cause things to move, or appear for brief periods of time to make people curious. After you engage them, spirits will almost always try and trick you into believing they are someone or something that they are not. Remember, spirits are more intelligent than the average human. They may pretend to be someone you once knew. They may speak or even appear like a relative or friend who passed away. They may also pretend to need your help. They will sometimes act like little children who are sad or lost. They may act like a lost soldier from an old war or another sympathetic figure. The sky is the limit on what a spirit will pretend to be. If they can get you to feel sorry for them, they have a better chance at getting you to do what they want. They will often answer questions that only you will know the answer to. In these situations, they are trying to get you to trust them. In other situations, they may just resort to making you afraid. Either way, they are working with your mind. They are trying to manipulate you into doing what they want.
