This isn’t really a story of ghosts, per se. I’m a musician and was driving home from a late night songwriting session at my guitar player’s house. The route from his house to mine is just a straight shot down the main street of the town. It was a very dark night, a little cold, but nothing out of the ordinary for the season.
It was about 1 am which is about 6 hours later than we would normally work, we were just on a roll that night. As I was driving home a very heavy sleep came over me and I was just trying to get home and crash.
The speed limit on the road is 35, but when I got to a point on the road that I knew no cops hung around I started doing 55. Main street leads right through the heart of downtown but I saw absolutely no people or other cars on the road from the time I left his house.
As I was about 300 yards from an intersection that was closer to my house than his, a very strange feeling came over me. My entire body felt tingly and I was very uneasy, shifting in my seat. I just chalked it up to fatigue.
At about 200 yards I started hearing a voice in my head telling me to switch from the right lane to the left. I ignored it and continued my speed of 55 mph.
The traffic light at this intersection was fast approaching and the closer I got the more powerful the voice in my head became. When the light was about 50 feet away the voice became so powerful and distracting that I just switched to the left lane hoping it would go away. As I whizzed through the intersection now doing a good 60 (I was very close to home) I saw what had to be the reason for the voice.
In the crosswalk in the middle of the right lane was a small African American girl. When I looked in my rear-view mirror I couldn’t see if she was playing or what, but she was definitely sitting down.
I can’t explain how or why this happened, I’m just thankful that I switched lanes when I did.

Hi Darren,
The moonlight has a gentler, more emotional, content to its energy. Since ghosts feed on emotions, its good for them too. So do living people. Think how good we feel when we are happy and at peace.
In the dark the world is usually quieter (though not in most cities as far as I can tell), and we are often more relaxed. There is less to look at, and so people tend to be more introspective (which means we look at ourselves, and think about things more – which includes worrying, fretting and fearing). In that sort of atmosphere, ghosts get more energy from us – and when the moon is full it affects the tides – not just of the ocean and rivers, but also inside our bodies – because the energy of the moon pulls at the water in our blood and cells – and so people often say they are ‘affected by the moon’. Me being one of them .. I sometimes can’t sleep when the moon is full, or have very vivid dreams, and my mother an daughter are the same. And I know of many other people who are affected the same way.
Ghosts, being still more people than spirits, are drawn out into the full moon because of all the energy/emotion in the atmosphere, caused by the moon and also created by living people.
Love & Peace
Ama
Hmmm…. Actually, it’s not the moon that bring out ghosts. It’s ghost themselves who attracted with the moon. Full Moon brings out a great energy, and that energy is negative Not negative that means it’s bad, but negatives that’s similar to electicity, it has their negative and positive part. Sun is “positive” and Moon is “negative”. Since ghost have negative energy, it’s normal for them to attracted to another negative energy. To add their power…. That’s their purpose.
I don’t think the moon is negative, but I agree with Ama. Some of the best arguments I’ve had with hubby to be have been under the full moon. Oh, they’ve been absolute corkers LOL. But then some of the best most romantic nights we’ve had has been lying in the garden, under the full moon, having a little midnight picnic, just talking, snuggled up together. Its the emotion that ghosts feed off, and the moon is a great emotioncatcher!
If it wasn’t for the moon, we’d have tsunami tidal waves all over the world. I’d say having the moon is pretty darn positive!!
