    I liked this video because in mentioning souls that, 'wander', they are talking about something very,very few Catholic commentators ever do. Souls that stick around because they refuse to go upwards to their Particular Judgement and stay on Earth as ghosts.

    Most writers assume that a ghost is either a soul come back from purgatory or a demon.

    There was a good example not to far from me in this city which got a lot of publicity a few years ago. There was a large young Catholic family who had just moved into an old house and they were tortured by the ghost of an elderly woman dressed in black who obviously was very,very unhappy about them sharing the house with her. On one occasion the ghost lady actually picked the father of the family up and threw him out the front door.

    They went to local priests for help but the priests were too afraid and no one would come.
    Crowds started to gather round the house at nights too stare at all kind of weird movements and lights going about inside the house.

    Eventually the family had to leave for good and the house was demolished as no one else had the courage to live there.

    The logical conclusion is that this was a very,very strong minded woman who used to live in the house and refused to leave to go for Judgement of would let anyone else live there.

    The Beechmount Poltergeist—A Belfast Story

    I've been trying to research a case on and off for a few years now - known locally as The Beechmount Poltergeist, sometimes also referred to as The Woman In Black.

    It dates from 1989, and the events supposedly took place in a house in Beechmount Grove in West Belfast.

    This is the book, written by the man who was seemingly the epicentre of the disturbances:

    It's far from the only monograph written by the person who claimed to be at the centre of a destructive haunting, but it really is one of the most unsual cases I've ever encountered.

    Beginning in the summer of 1989, the series of events isn't really a poltergeist story in any traditional sense - rather, it's an account of how an apparition of a Victorian-looking woman in a black dress essentially invaded the Skillen family's 1970s council house one Friday evening, physically attacking the father, John Skillen, for reasons unknown.

    There is a good example of a Wandering Soul in the film , Ghost'. That was the guy in the Underground Station.

    In fact the main character in the film was a Wandering Soul. He had just been murdered and did not want to go to Judgement because he loved his girl friend so much.

    But at the end of the film he accepted it was time to go.
