Charms - Charm Jewelry Back to Ghost Hunting
Some ghost hunters wear jewelry called charms because they believe the charms provide
protection; because it is enchanted jewelry and charmed with powerful spells - which
some believe make it an effective weapon against harmful spirits - ghosts. An example
of a piece of common charm jewelry might be a crucifix - a cross. I believe the object only
is powerful to the mind that believes in its power.
