Ghosts and suicide

Hare Krishna. I know if you kill yourself you have to suffer as a ghost. Now if you kill yourself and  get a ghost body do you remain here on this  earth planet to suffer as a ghost or do you go to a different planet to suffer when you become a ghost?

    • Hare Krishna. I am not worried about that ghost visiting me again. I have a big photo of Lord Nrsinghadeva at the head of my bed. I am actually glad that the ghost visited me when he did. Otherwise, I may have ended up being one of those people who think ghosts don't exist.

      • Hare Krishna Pandora Hinson,

        I hope your ghost wasn't that bad , atleast he didn't appeared so , as you mentioned .

        I really enjoyed the part when you said of him as a cool biker guy ;) I hope he wasn't the Ghost Rider Nicolas Cage. lol . Just Kidding .

        I have never seen any ghosts , but i believe in their existence , since our human eyes can't perceive everything , and that doesn't means they don't exist . Few centuries ago there were no microscope , yet micro-organisms existed , and if me or you were alive back then and told the public of that century that micro-organisms actually exists , then they would have called us lunatics. lol .

        So yeah , i have never seen any ghosts with my naked eye , but had some weird dreams . The house in which we used to live 10 years ago was kinda haunted . A boy performed suicide there , and when we started living there , we started having weird dreams about that boy whom we have never seen in real.

        In one of my dreams i saw him sitting in a squatting position , head totally shaved , face buried in between his kness . So i wasn't able to see his face . Kinda creepy dream , isn't it ?!! lol

        And i did have my first Sleep Paralysis in that house . It was midnight , between 2 AM - 3 AM .

        i was lying on my bed , on my back , having a normal deep sleep. And all of a sudden my chest became super heavy as if some unknown force was pressing hard on my chest . and my eyes were still closed , was afraid to open them , i mean who knows what kinda horrible creature i might end up seeing if i open my eyes . i was really terrified by that experience and i started to chant the name of the Lord and slowly it went away . There were a few more times i had sleep paralysis , even after we moved out of that house. But never had any OBE (Out of Body Experience) or Astral projection.

        What about you ? Did you ever had any of that stuff ?

        Peace and Hare Krishna .

          Yes, it sounds like you were living in a haunted house. The boy killed himself, became a ghost and stayed In his same home.  I think demons are much more dangerous than ghosts. I have always thought of "sleep paralysis" as being an attack from a demon. That must have been very frightening to feel the demon pressing down hard on your chest! Yes, chanting helps to get rid of ghosts and demons.  I haven't had any sleep paralysis ,OBE or astral projection experiences.

    This is slightly off topic but related to Ghosts and Suicide. 

    We have a gross body and a subtle body. So is the subtle body a transparent form of the gross body? I got interested ghosts a few days ago (not like ghost worship but "what are ghosts, spirits, etc") and I read people's descriptions that ghosts look like people. So I was just curious.

    • The ghost I saw looked like a human. We talked to each other using "telepathic communication". The ghost tried to present himself as just a "harmless hippy biker type guy". The ghost didn't fool me. I knew he was evil. I could see in his eyes how very surprised he was when he realized that I could see him.

        If you don't mind, could you share some more details about this experience. Particularly how you got rid of such an evil spirit and even met it. 

        I wonder if they are human like because they are shape shifters or because that was their material body. Perhaps the demoniac spirits are shape shifters?

        • I was 17 years old and had been sound asleep in my bed. All of a sudden something jolted me out of my sleep and I was wide awake and fearful. I jumped up in bed  and saw a man sitting on the side of my bed. I was shocked. I think our communication only lasted one minute. He acted like he was just "a really nice guy" after he got over the shock that I could actually see him. My guess is that he was planning to take possession of my material body while I was asleep but God woke me up so he couldn't. He then just disappeared.
