The Difference Between Human Spirits Who Have Crossed Over and Those Who Have Not: Don’t Leave Them Caught Between Worlds!
By Father Bob Bailey, PWSM

In is an excitement-filled experience to have found proof of true spirit activity in a particular place. It’s the brass ring you grab - the holy grail of paranormal investigation. But do you realize that there are really two categories of human spirits that you may encounter?

The first are spirits (or ghosts) that have already crossed-over to God and are in His care. They are able to be in two places at the same time (the Heavenly Realm and on the earth) because they no longer are bound to space and time. For whatever reason they are allowed by God’s permissive Will to enter our realm from time to time. Perhaps it is to visit a familiar place that the soul was attached to once upon a time. Perhaps it is that they have a purpose or a job to do such as watch over a loved one or give a message that needs to be conveyed. In either case, these are benign spirits that we can leave be as they will hurt no one.

There also may be spirits that are angry about whatever transpired in a particular place once upon a time. These need to stop harassing people or else made to leave by spiritual means and Divine help.

However, the second category of spirits is those who have not yet crossed over. Perhaps it was an untimely death such as a murder, suicide or sudden death. It could also be that their free will is so strong that they use their free will not to cross-over using that God-given gift. Some also would argue that the survivor’s unhealed and intense grief may actually be preventing that soul from going to their reward. It must be stated here that this is not the usual way for a soul to end up after death. The usual way is the immediate judgment and assignment to the proper reward. These are anomalies that are somehow allowed in God’s permissive Will for reasons only known to Him.

In this category, the soul needs our help to cross-over to God…to be persuaded that there is a better place for them to be with God. It is one thing to allow a crossed-over soul to stay in a certain place because they have already gone to their proper place and are simply visiting a familiar earthly space. It is an offense against charity to leave a soul such as this helpless and not help him or her. Once they cross-over to God then they can return if they wish, but that is theirs and God’s desire. I can tell you from personal experience of crossing-over a number of trapped souls to God, they are so grateful for me doing this because they finally find peace where they should be. It is a fulfilling experience for me as a priest that words cannot express.

How can one determine whether a spirit has crossed-over or not? A sensitive with good psychic abilities are an important and welcomed part of the investigation for instances such as these as they can determine this by communicating with them. Once determined that they have not crossed, you really need to find clergy open to this phenomenon or experienced holy people to do the crossing-over.

My strong advice to all paranormal investigators is that you please find out whether the human spirits you encounter are crossed-over or not. If they are not, find someone to help them cross. Please, for the sake of charity, do not allow them to stay in that condition!
