Protection from ghosts

Ghosts can't really hurt you. Some cartoons, TV shows, books, and movies pretend that ghosts can hurt you, but they're not real.

Sometimes when a ghost is trying to do or say something, it can be confusing. That can seem scary until you figure out what he or she is trying to do.

If you think that your house has a ghost and it's scaring you, here are two simple ways to keep ghosts away.

When you go to bed, turn your shoes so that one of them is backwards. (See photo at left.)

We used this to keep ghosts away in America's most haunted house, The Myrtles Plantation. It worked.

Also, clean your room and keep it organized. We don't know why spirits avoid clean, tidy rooms, but they usually do. Vacuum cleaner (hoover) noises scare them away, too.
