Foreign Ghost.....
I think you find it silly but a question comes to my mind reading a discussion of one of my co-myloter. I am grateful to that myloter whose discussion make me inspired to write this discussion.
Now question is.........
We all have some local story of ghost.
In your country too some stories of ghost is still frighten some people.
Every country has different stories of ghost with different getup, structure and character. But there is basic different in character from different countries.
But have you ever hear about foreign ghost. i.e. English ghost in Indonesia. Russian ghost in USA. Indian ghost is Australia.
Why ghost never travel overseas. Ghost activities is limited in country. Even some ghost activities is limited in region . I think those are regional ghost.
My question is ... why ghost never travel other country?

That's really an interesting question. I think these ghosts are pretty much rooted base. And they so called "tease" or try to scare those whom they choose and they can transform into anything , right .. follow the lifestyle , language , physical look of people in a particular country. That's what I think .. because the purpose is to scare humans .. something like that.

Yes ghost are used to frighten people. So they take the get up as described tale of the country concern. But what condition happens if some ghost are sent to overseas. As you said, if any Australian ghost sent to England, then it adopt English culture

Ghost they say are product of the mind. It is actually the fears of human. Maybe, in my opinion, the reason why ghost never travel, because, different regions, different countries have different fears.
One of those, is how are they being conquered by other countries. Like here in the Philippines. They say the reason why ghost stories started to bloom, is because of the priests or the authorities during the Spaniards colonization.
To create fright to people they invented stories like evil spirits that roaming around the place or town.
For my conclusion, it is not the ghost that stay in one place, it is the fright in that place that stays.

What have you said as the reason of not traveling of ghost to different country is really reasonable. Yes fright is the ghost and ghost is creation of human mind. People's fear creates ghost. And another thing that when ghost appear normally some situation is needed.
deficiency of light, loneliness is very important to appear ghost.
In daylight and when there are crowd no ghost appear.

If it is a product of human mind then how will you explain the door in our new house. The story goes like this, it was year 2008 when we built our new house. The door in our veranda was supposed to be installed on the next day. My father bought the door 6pm in the evening because as what I have said it is supposed be installed on the next day and the workers already went home. 10pm in the evening that day there was a 3 hours black out and it was really dark. All of us stayed out side the house since it was full moon. The next day in the morning our workers was so surprise because the door was already installed and the color of the glass was properly arranged from light to dark. Until now it was big mystery who installed the door during 10pm that night. We did not hear anything.

Maybe, soon you'll find out who did installed it. I don't think ghost can touch real things.

Hi Aalee,
First you tell me, is there any ‘ghost’ exists?
The citizenship of ghost will come only if it exists. I don’t have any experience to believe that ‘ghost’ exists. I have seen the same only in movies. On Christmas Day I seen a movie named ‘Ghost House’ in our native language it is a comedy film explaining that how people get scared on ghosts. I really enjoyed the movie and at the end the story conveyed the message that there is no ‘ghosts’ exists in real world.
I agree, in stories too ‘ghosts’ never traveled long distance.
[b]Happy and Prosperous New Year to you.

Is there any ghost exist? Great question. Not confirm whether it exist or not. I also notice it's existence in movie and story and tales.
But I have never heard about foreign ghost in story or movie too. So one question comes to my mind why ghost never visit overseas.

What a great question!
Well could it be because they never manage to get round the immigration laws of other countries? Or because they have no passport or because they don't speak the language? 
Surely if a foreign ghost woke you up in the middle of the night youwould be even mored scared than one from your own country because you would not understand what it was saying

If I can continue without meeting either a foreign one or a local one I will be much happier I can assure you!

Actually I think that immigration law or passport is not major problem for them. As they have they capacity of vanishing so they could have managed those.
But perhaps they have the doubt that their getup and structure may not frighten the people of other country. Secondly language problem is also another reason. But some ghost have language knowledge specially them who are made up from scholar. They should visit other country too. I think in this era of global village ghost should have knowledge about foreign country too.
Only frightening local people is not enough.

It is a very interesting question! I would imagine a ghost or a spirit as I rather call them would ‘hang around’ a place he or she knew when they were alive on earth. It depends on personal beliefs. The way I see it, spirits who are earthbound usually have unfinished business here so they will generally not ‘travel’ very far from where they lived when in human form.

Hi Aaleexix...
actually i want to make response last night, but my internet turn to slow. so here i am.
thanks for the co-mylotter..i guess we can be a partner now
actually ghost has no boundaries or region. they can 'fly' around the world. but we called them i n different name. Like that tuyul in my country. maybe in yours there is a bold little kid ghost but u refer to different name

You know, that is a really interesting thing to think about. I've never really thought about a traveling ghost before. I was always under the impression that ghosts only linger around the areas they are familiar with or have some kind of emotional attachment to. If that were the case it would be kind of hard for a ghost to appear in a random place they have never been to before, like a foreign country.

I have never heard of any myself, but I'm sure that if you were to visit old seafaring communities I am sure that there are tales of foreign sailors' ghosts who haunt where they were drowned.

At least there are tale of foreign Ghost. But the ghost must have problem to deal(frightening people)with the people. As there is language problem. More over the getup also varied in different place. So when we have to face ghost in their foreign getup I think it will make us lough more than makes us frightened.

If you know the origin of ghost, they say ghost appear in places where they have strong connection (when they lived). of course, that means ghost naturally occurs in house, mansion, flat, or something along those lines.
It's the deep feeling, hatred, anger, sadness, that anchor the ghost to the places it resides now. I guess that pretty much answer why ghost never travel to places they're not familiar with, much less to another country.
Just my opinion.
