Ghostie

Today I heard my mom's take on ghosts and it actually made me feel so much more at ease. I have always had a huge fear of ghosts ever since I was little because I used to watch those scary shows with my brother late at night that are like true stories about ghost encounters and stuff. I was told that my cousin went to a temple to get his fortune read and he was told that he was being followed by a ghost, a possible link to why his family has had such bad luck, which prompted his entire family to move to a different house because they were scared it was this guy who used to live there who had committed suicide (not in that house, though). His younger brother was also told once upon a time that he was being followed around by my paternal grandmother. All of this was totally creeping me out, but then my mom was saying how it wasn't really that big of a deal because all you have to do is burn some money for them and offer them food and ask nicely that they take it and enjoy it and leave you alone. Seriously, nothing can scare my momma. But on top of that, she was very skeptical because she thinks my cousin is probably just trying to find someone else to blame, so it wasn't that creepy to her.
