Aftermath...

My mothers house in now gone, destroyed in the tornado, and the remains have been cleared, the basement filled in.
Where do ghosts go when the house is gone? Are they still attached to the land? There is one house left in the neighborhood... Will the spirits go there? I am hoping they raise the curfew in town before mom sells her lot. I would like to go take pictures, ask questions, see what answers I can record. I lived with those ghosts so long, it's like losing a member of the family, leaving someone behind.
Is it possible to invite spirits to live somewhere else? If they wanted to move on away from this plane of existence, they would have, right? There is a reason they are still here, and what makes them stay in a place? If they are attached to the land, they are still there. If they are attached to the house - where do they go? Are the forced to move on?

I can't find an email address to contact you so I hope you get this. Did you see this article in the Wichita Eagle, http://www.kansas.com/news/local/story/157307.html
I thought of your website when I saw it.

Oh yeh...I am so in on this. Between you and me and the fencepost I have gone to places and I end up with these scratches...they just show up...they burn like heck and have letters. I am totally sane Anita...this has happened and I have no explaination.

I believe you... After the things that I grew up around, I believe!!

Just a thought...Do you know the history of your Mom's house and land? Were there previous occupants? Were there Native American settlements nearby?

This whole county was Kiowa land. The house was built in 1942. The woman who mom bought it from owned it most of that time, I think. I can't find anything that says what was there before, or that anyone has died in the house.
Half the basement was not dug out, we always wondered if there was someone buried on that side that hadn't been dug out.

Just my theory--as far as the ghosts are concerned the present doesn't exist. They are attached to the past when they existed as real human beings. From that perspective, the house is still there.

Of course! Why didn't I think of that... Because we knew the history of the house, we thought they were attached to the land, but maybe that wasn't the case...
