I recently reviewed the book, Haunted Stuff, by Stacey Graham. And while it was a good read I must admit that it made me think more than provide me with answers.
Most of what I have seen or read out in the paranormal community (TV’s Haunted Collector included) concerning the haunting of inanimate objects has left me wanting.
It would appear that few have experimented with haunted items to see if more could be learned about them, especially, the nagging question of “why.”
Even if John Zaffis (aka “the haunted collector” and self-proclaimed “Godfather of the Paranormal”) is right that if we remove haunted objects the paranormal activity will sometimes end, I have yet to hear or read a theory as to why or how objects become imbued with a negative spirit energy. I guess I am suggesting that there needs to be more experimentation with “stuff” that exhibits ghostly behavior in order to learn more.
It is my hope that someone takes up this charge and writes me about their findings. If not, I’ll add it to my list of things to explore in the future. – Louis
