I had a conversation with a certain someone that pricked my curiosity nerve. He told me that one of his colleague is being disturbed by creepy “things” at night. He would go to bed only to be awakened in the middle at night by sounds of knocking on his bedroom door. Some nights there were even sounds of his guitar (which is in the next room) being plucked.

I asked him what did his friend do. He said “Now he just sleeps with his door opened.”. I salute his courage.

Obviously, i’m a believer of spirits and if you would like to call it… ghost… and guess i have a bravado of a size of a bird brain. If it was me i would have moved out quicker than you could say “Boo!”.

That aside, my brain began to formulate a plan on how to help him eradicate the spirits problem. I was convinced that it’s bad feng shui. All he needed to do was to hang a feng shui “wu lou” (bottle gourd) at the door or something and his problem will be gone. Better still, hire a Taoist priest or a Chinese ghostbuster for a session of peace offering. *That’s how all the Chinese ghost movies go right?.
 

But then, it hit me. What if he’s a Christian? Which turned out to be true. He is a Christian. Then he should instead hire a priest from the church or something right? Problem solved…

But what if the spirit is a Buddhist? Does hiring a priest from a Catholic church work?

But what if the spirit is from Islam or any other religion?

And why haven’t we heard of a Buddhist ghost haunting a Catholic or Islam?

The big question.

Does spirits have religion or does spirits remain the same religion as when they are still human/alive anyways?

Mr. Bf came out with an interesting theory. Maybe when a person dies, the spirits becomes indifferent or detached from religion. (I am in no attempt to say this true. It is just a spontaneous theory. Don’t get angry or sensitive please). We (those that’s alive) perceive the spirits according to our own personal spiritual believes. That is, if i believe in Buddhism then the spirits would be in the form of my Buddhism beliefs or if i’m a Hindu then it’ll have some Hindu influence. It’s purely psychological.

It does sound logical and it make perfect sense. But then a free thinker like myself will have a very colourful encounter of spirits. If it’s purely psychological, then the ghost i might encounter *touch wood, touch wood, touch wood! would look like this.
 

What do you think?
