Truth Seeker: Is love the force that leads to hauntings?

I was listening to a song the other day that I had heard many times before but for some reason this time I began thinking more about it and seeing it with a deeper meaning.

Things that we do just to get someone’s attention to be around the other person — sometimes these things can be out of the ordinary and unbelievable coming from certain people. I am sure if we sit back and think about it we all have done this sometime or another. I know in my own life I have even done some things that I would not have done if it had not been to impress a lady or to get her attention. But why do we do these things? Is it really just to get their attention? I believe it is much deeper than that. I believe that when two souls meet they know they want to be with each other. They connect, but it takes time for us to realize that we love each other. I believe it is this force that we call “Love” that makes us do these things. But how strong can love truly be and to what extent will we do things to be with the one we love?

While dealing with the paranormal I have heard over the years several reasons why places are allegedly haunted. But it seems like love is the reason for a lot of them, whether it’s for someone or even the location itself. I recently wrote about a love story that had a tragic end for both people and the location is currently believed to be haunted by the lady who took her own life after the guy she had been seeing was killed.

There also stood a hotel not far from Parkersburg where a love triangle had taken place. It is believed that two men had fought each other over a lady and one had been killed. The lady was in love with the one who died and became so emotional that she took her own life. The hotel began having reports of hauntings and eventually, due to a lack of customers, closed.

Stories like these and many others similar to them always seem to circulate. Why not? It is a story of “Love” one of the most powerful forces that can make people do the uncertain while ending with the tragic.

But do hauntings always have to be about loving someone? I do not believe so. There are reported haunted locations that involves only one entity. Some believe this is because the person enjoyed being at the location. Perhaps it is due to their love for the type of work or even love for the place itself. Which ever the case it might be it still involves “Love.”

So the next time someone is talking about love and how it can make people do the uncertain, do not forget it is believed to cause the unexplainable, when dealing with the paranormal.
