Mr. Hicks did indeed classify you correctly. (a solitary tear rolls down his face) It's stuff like that that makes it worthwhile to get up in the morning.

It's a lot more fun... and safe... to poke fun at the living, so I'm not gonna say anything sarcastic to ya. After all, we have to respect our elders.

[glow=blue,2,300]Be careful or you'll wind up in my novel... As far as ghosts go, I'm not that old. The really potent ones have been around since before dirt was invented. Old Windy back in Columbia was, like, half a millennia or more. He was one weird sucker... really obsessed with cannibalism-- not the kind of guy you'd invite to a party, but he wasn't a bad singer. I think he was actually a kind of by-product rather than an actual spirit. And there's no telling how old some of the real biggies are (Anubis, Gozer, and their ilk).[/glow]

I hear that. I think that the ghosts in the U.S. nowadays (present company excluded obviously) are too lazy to haunt people anymore. Its all older spirits that have been around so long that its the best thing they can do to pass the time. I've had a theory about Gozer only wanting to take over the world to break up the boring spots in it's "life".

[glow=blue,2,300]I have my own ideas about that...
According to the Chronicles, it attacked several planets to satisfy its voracious appetite for psychokinetic energy. (The book indicated that it thrived on death, but my guess is since death itself is an unremarkable natural process, the by-product released --PKE-- must be what the text actually referenced.) I hypothesize it has made multiple passes at Earth because compared to most lifeforms in the Galaxy, the lifespan of the average Earthling is relatively short. Therefore, the PKE generated by so many lifeforms being born and dying on our planet is probably more concentrated than elsewhere in the Galaxy (even during "normal Twinkie" periods)-- an all-you-can-eat buffet for an entity attracted to PKE.[/glow]

I like the concept of the Hollows from the anime Bleach.

I understand there are beings from other planes refer to our home as "The Mother Realm" for one reason or another.

That's certainly a possibility, but the latest information being gathered from Mars orbiters and the rovers Spirit and Opportunity, indicate that if Mars did have life at any point in it's history, it would have been very simple, not even any higher life forms like big cats, bears, dogs etc. etc. Given the supposed date of the formation of the solar system, it's highly unlikely that Mars ever had intelligent life on it. But when dealing with the paranormal... you never really know do you?

Wow. I should have signed up sooner with a thread like this. I'll sit back and enjoy, this is Jeff's show, after all.

By all means, feel free to chime in on anything that's been discussed so far. Your experience in matters magical and extradimensional exceeds my own by a number of years, after all.

Well then, I suppose I'll tackle some subjects that have come up. There's also a few obscure schools of thought that theorize Earth is something of a nexus point of the multiverse, having a high number of naturally occuring extradimensional portals or abnormally weak dimensional barriers. Obscure, yes....but spot on correct. Most wizards point to the lore of The Dominion and even the Infernal in its holy books, the Christian Bible, the Talmud, and the Qu'ran. In it, it states very plainly that "The Earth was the crown of the Creator's works." Fey Lore will state clearly that it exists due solely to the imagination of humans...and that they are forever tied to humanity, which accounts for their curious interest in us. Less savory lore of even the extra-terrestrial account for a keen interest in our world. Being both a follower of the Dominion, and a student of the Magical realm, I can attest to it personally. Right you are. They fey cannot exist without our world and its inhabitants. The magic realm is intristacally tied to our world, and entities not of our world see our world as either a paradise, a feeding ground, or a motherlode of resources. having translated much of the text personally before I requested Dr. Spengler's assistance, I can tell you that the mad magus' story as told to him by Zuul is chillingly accurate to that. from what spotty records we got, Volguus Zildrohar (aka Gozer) consumed no less than a dozen worlds with life and civilizations on them. Many races were wiped out by it...Shubs, Zuuls, and the supplicants of an entity known as Meketrix. I would disagree with death being a natural thing, but that would be my own personal beliefs talking. However, ghosts, are a natural byproduct of the mind releasing a large spark of PKE upon death. The surge of PKE is imprinted with the mind of the source. If this source has a fetter (a worldly arcane connection), the soul will be tied to it and will be fixed to the mundane realm as an entity. PKE constructs that do not contain a fetter are the classic ghosts that GBi catches daily....nothing more than ectoplasmic constructs with a simple programming. TRUE spirits, such as Rachel Leavenworth, are much more rare. Indeed. One of those "passes" was made in the age of Camelot. It was Merlin Ambrosius who turned aside Gozer at Stonehenge. It was then, back in the early 80's at the temple of Ivo Shandor...its final "pass" was in 2004, when humanity was finally able to rid the universe of Gozer forever. Very astute. Unfortunately, the destruction of gozer does not make our world any safer. There are many entities that have their sights set on Earth. this past weekend, I, along with Mick Nielson and Kevin Kemarly stopped the invasion of a terrible entity known as Shudde M'ell. Had it come to Earth, it would have burrowed through our planet, draining it of all its natural resources, and breaking chunks of continents off until the planet lie dead.
