There are a living people and there are a dead people and it should be easy to tell the difference between the two. According to Stephen Hawking, a British Physicist, "nothing would be supernatual; it's just some things that we don't understand well enough. For me, I have made a research about supernatural based on true story and i've found that the existence of ghost or supernatural things cannot be denied. There are many mysterious things behind supernatural that interesting to tell about. So today, i would like to inform you about the history of supernatural, the type of ghost, and the effect of supernatural to the human life.

I have spoken a roughly about supernatural, now I will share more knowledge about supernatural with you. Let me start with the existence of ghost.

There are many reason why ghost ca live together with human and at the same time disturbing human life. Generally ghost is the spirit of dead person, it is consciousness without the body form. With other words, ghost had been a person's consciousness along with the person's memory and experience. One of the reason is their soul are not accepted by both the land and sky. That is why in the film, the ghost usually appeared with no legs or flying. According to the 'spell & spirts, demon & ghost' magazine, the reason ghost can live and haunted human life is...

• They are worshipped by someone such as shaman - anything in this world, if we keep on calling and worshipping, finally it will come to you as you wish. You can try it and my suggestion is play the Ouija Board with the coin. You know how to play it? yes, "spirit spirit of the coin, please come to me! If you want to lay, let me join you.
• According to legend, all animals and plants after acquiring the energies of the heaven and earth, it will become spiritual beings. They can either be in the form of demon, spirits or monsters. This is how the banana trees created where the trees transform into a beautiful woman and looking for a man who always alone.
• The sorcerer cast the spell on himself to intensify his own witchcraft power. The sorcerer will cast the spell on himself by chanting to allow his head to be detached from the body. Then the head of the sorcerer will fly out of the body to suck human blood. After the completion of several stages, it is said that the sorcerer will be able to live very long.

Let us move to type of ghost...

There are many kinds of believe in this world about the type of ghost. One of the popular types of ghost in our country are the malay ghost. There are also english ghost, chinese ghost and even indian ghost depending o your religion , race and beliefs. For example vampire is an english ghost whereas malays known them as pontianak and chinese as 'kiong xi' some of malay ghost are...

• Pontianak - also known as vampire and they are usually ladies dressed in white, seeking for revenge. Pontianak is said to be a woman died in chilbirth. Most of the time, they can look very beautiful but if you look closely, she would have a razor sharp teeth.
• Hantu Bungkus (pocong) - is a ghost that always jump, jump, and jump around and it is wrapped in a white shroud. It is said that when the funeral, people forgot to untie the corpse head part of the shroud before buried the corpse. So, hantu bungkus is looking for some one that can help it untie the shroud. The point is, will you do it?
• Polong - is an unseen ghost that can be used by black magic practitioners or shaman to harm someone. This type of ghost are very stubborn and difficult to expel when it entering human body. The cases of hysteria are usually caused by this type of ghost. The video of hysteria that we have seen at the beginning is just one of it.

Other ghost is toyol, pelesit, hantu raya, hantu kubur, hantu jepun and so on. Enough about type of ghost, we move to the effect of supernatural to human life.

The existence of supernatural in human life has affected human ways of living. It is in everyone's heart those ghost are fearful especially at night, so the taboos was formulated in order to keep the ghost away. There are so many types of taboo and one of them is the taboo at night where it is said that ghost are usually appeared at night.

• Taboo while staying at hotel - Do not open all drawers immediately after entering the room like many people do to check what are inside. By doing so, the ghost can easily be forced out, as the ghost are also afraid of human, a bit of space must be retained for them in case there is one in the room.
• Taboo with word - there are a certain speech cannot be made in the middle of night. Meaning that, at midnight , such words should not be mentioned at all such as "I'm not afraid of ghost". This sentence is just like you are challenging the ghost to come out and show itself. Usually ghost like to disturb the people who are too brave and too coward. How about you?

As we have seen, there are so many story of supernatural. It is interesting to know about this entities that full of mysteries. I hope what I've talked today has given you the information about the history of supernatural, the type of ghost and the effect of supernatural ti human life.

So, do you believe in ghost? How do you know what is real and what is not?
Maybe the person sitting next to you is a ghost, maybe all your friend are a ghost, your cat, your fish, and maybe you are a ghost and you don't even know it.
I don't know if one day I will ever see a ghost or facing a supernatural situation, but at least i know that they can't do harm to people. Ghost is also a God creature. Only God that deserve to be afraid of.
Thank you~
