Ghosts
Whether you believe in ghosts or not, we certainly behave with certain similar attributes. We appear out of thin air. It is similar to how you can never remember the beginning of a dream can you? You cannot remember quite how we appeared. We just did. We seemed to coalesce into your life with the ease of a ghost walking through a wall. We arrive and ghost into your life. In the same way as seeing a ghost, when you experience us, it is not an event that you will forget in a hurry. We sidle up to you, insert ourselves into your lives and make connection after connection with you as we feed from you. Like some wraith we attach ourselves to you and steadily begin to suck the life force from you as we gorge on the fuel that you provide.
Often we will vanish just as we arrived, without any warning or announcement and try as you might you cannot find us again. It is as if we have disappeared off the face of the earth. Naturally we chose the moment of our vanishing act without any concern for its effect on you. We slip away like a mist evaporating. Once we were everywhere, woven around you and captivating you. Much in the same way as one might be transfixed by the appearance of some spirit. You are entranced by our appearance, there is something ethereal and mysterious about us that causes you to be drawn to us and then we are gone.
We are that elusive spirit that can now not be found. You might go to the same place where we first manifested but there is no sign of us. We have left no footprint, no trace of our existence when you try and seek us out, just like our spectral cousins and then suddenly we have returned. We ghost back into your life and continuing our haunting of you. We are incessant and ever present, drifting about you as we resume our extraction of fuel. We resume our draining of your spirit, leeching it from you as our cold, dead hands take hold of you once again.
People have many theories as to what ghosts are if they indeed exist. Some suggest that where there has been a sudden explosion of emotion, a heightened experience, then an imprint has been made on the fabric of existence. This imprint appears to those who are attuned to seeing it. That imprint is seen doing the same thing over and over again. It walks the same route, passes through the same wall and then vanishes only to appear the next night in the same place. The spirit follows the same routine like a piece of video film stuck in an endless loop. Just like such a ghost we engage in the same behaviours over and over again. The same actions all designed to haunt you as we extract our fuel. The same gestures, the same actions all of which must be replayed. Some believe that a ghost is the soul of someone who has suffered eternal damnation. He or she has been denied entry to heaven or hell and instead has been consigned to walk the earth for eternity, stuck in an unceasing routine. Our endless quest for fuel finds us in such a similar position. We must make our way through life, restless and never finding peace. We move from place to place, unable to rest and be satisfied. Instead we are driven onwards, plagued by the curse of our need for fuel. Thus we must haunt others, our appearance bringing dread and fear in the same way as terror follows the appearance of a spectre.
Unable to quite fit in we are ghost at the feast. Even when we have vanished there is a lingering coldness that strikes you to your core. You still sense us, able to feel the effect of our chilling appearance. You are wary and anxious as you know we will appear once again. Quite when is a mystery but as we first arrived and as we first disappeared we will ghost into your life and continue our haunting of you. Better consult that exorcist.

HG my ex narc disappeared/ghosted me and has been no contact for maybe 4 months. He created a new Facebook and started ‘following’ me on facebook. Did not try and get in touch apart from this and remains a ghost to me. What is this? Is it a hoover or is it just a way to let me know he is watching me? He is also a diagnosed sociopath….
It is a hoover.
Thanks HG for your insight 👍😊
You are welcome.
Thanks again you were 100% right again HG. Received Hoover’s via messenger shortly after. As you are skilled at reading the plays like a book- if he continues being ignored by me will he get mad, ramp it up or disappear? Every time I block he creates a fake account so I have taken to ignoring.
Indeed and thank you. Yes, I can read the plays/hoovers for you, that is what I do. I will need more information to do this effectively, rather than respond with “if this happens then this happens, if however that is applicable, then that will happen” so I can get precise information from you. You will be best served by organising a consultation.
Do you believe in ghosts, HG? (Of the more traditional spectral variety, rather than the narcissist variety.)
If it served my purpose to believe in them, I would do so. I remain unconvinced that they exist. It is interesting that since most people walk around carrying a camera and a video recording device these days (i.e. a mobile phone) the footage of ghosts, aliens, BigFoot etc are so evidently absent. I form the view that previous sightings were either made-up or honest mistakes (it was some other occurrence which was mistaken for a flying saucer or the Grey Woman of Tudor Towers) or something was seen which was a temporary alteration in that person’s perception of reality.
Maybe they’re just camera shy with all this new technology? Have you considered that as a possibility HG?
Intresting you should say that HG, Arthur C Clarke said something similar.
A very realistic opinion HG.
Though, are you sure there isn’t a Grey Woman of Tudor Towers?
An Englishman’s home is his castle, and Tudor Towers sounds like it would be full of discarded grey women 😉
Not unlike the asylum!
This reminds me of when JC asked the audience on one of his stand-up shows, “how can you tell if your home is haunted”, his response, “it’s easy, it isn’t”. Then he continued with some sexual innuendo re a woman in the audience, her step-father and the resulting ectoplasm.
Mmmm Jimmy Carr….Alexis sighs with a contented grin.
I do like Jimmy Carr
He is very funny and has such presence.
What school/cadre do you think he is NA?
Trick or treat? Requesting a visit to a nursing home for N-ex using his email address seemed appropriate this evening after watching HG vids on youtube. Better than sweeties!
Such incredible arrogance. Once the victims know what your kind really are, which is no empathy and pure evil, there’s not one moment the victim wants that evil in their life again. You seem to think you will always get the victim back, you’re wrong! But narcissists don’t live in reality so you wouldn’t understand.
1. There is no such thing as an objective reality. Only subjective realities so we do not live in YOUR reality, but that does not mean it is the only reality, as we have our own reality. Your reality and our reality are different and subjective.
2. Interestingly, experience based on evidence supports that the victim does come back more than they do not. It is this evidence that the proposition is based on, rather than an emotional railing against the actuality of what happens more often than not.
