Yes, it could.
These types of ghosts are residual haunts. An event so strong that upon its conclusion will leave a ghost of that emotion in the area in which it occurred. This type of haunt could last for centuries and cannot and will not be stopped by communication with a ghost hunter or paranormal research like myself.
For example,
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on the battlefield from the Civil War back in 1862 was one of the bloodiest battles in our own country. Brothers against brothers, North against South, this war has some of the most residual haunts left for us to deal with. Scars, emotional scars that will never be healed even though the war is long gone and forgotten by some can continue today as a residual haunt.
People who do reenactments seem to get these residual haunts as they prepare or while they are doing their reenactments for the public. There have been many reports of people who will get dressed up in either Confederate or Union clothes would sometimes wander off, only to find themselves in a heated battle that they weren’t to be a part of. Soldiers shouting at them to “get down” or “run over here” could be heard. As they look around misty figures would appear to them, running towards or away old trails that were carved out by troops make their way to capture a hill or territory.
These haunting are brief, and seem to rewind themselves back to a starting point, only to have the whole scene happen over and over again.
As a young man, I studied Shamanism, which is a spiritual belief amongst indigenous tribes all over the world, not only with the Native Americans. Belief in power animals, spirit guides and the use of different world i.e. the under and upper worlds were all a part of Shamanism. There is also the belief of “Soul Shattering”.
Soul Shattering is one a event can be so traumatic that a piece of your soul can be left behind and stuck in that place where the event happen or worst yet, taken away to the under or upper worlds. We see this with victims of severe abuse. Victims sometimes say their minds go to place were the abuse cannot hurt them. Sometimes never to return till there is a safe environment to come back to. Sometimes the abuse is so great, that it never comes back, leaving only a shell of a person who seems not to have any feelings at all. A Shaman is called in to find those pieces and bring them back to the victim to make them whole again.
As a ghost investigator, I deal with the residual haunting on a regular basis. The emotions scars left behind, only to disturb the living that occupy that area. The ghost of a woman’s cry due to the loss of her baby, the person whose pain was so great that they commit suicide, the torments of a victim as their abuser continues to take every bit of their emotion left behind to haunt us the living.
Can we fix a Residual Haunting? In most cases, “no”, and we could only see if the haunt will slowly go away, which sometimes occurs. Sometimes it takes a “holy man” to make things right again, to join those pieces of souls back to whole and then to send them back to their loved ones on the other side or as some would say, cross over.
So, in conclusion, if you are a victim of abuse, it’s time to get help before “you” will be that residual haunt. Find those pieces of self you left behind. There is a good book for you to read called, “Soul Retrieval” by Sandra Ingerman who teaches the process of putting those pieces back together. I highly suggest it to those who are victims and those help victim of abuse, mental, physical or sexual.
There are enough ghosts we cannot help due to this, try to stop another ghost that we cannot help in the future.
