Guest Post: Ghosts & Witches by Chrys Fey, author of Ghost of Death & Witch of Death

Hi, everyone! I’m Chrys Fey and I am here to tell you about my newest short stories Ghost of Death and Witch of Death.


A ghost is the soul of a dead person that lingers on earth after their death. The living can sometimes see ghosts in the form of apparitions. They are often described as translucent, misty, and floating. They are solitary essences that haunt specific locations, maybe where they died, their home, or their place of work. Often, they attach themselves to people, usually loved ones. There have even been accounts of animal (pet) ghosts.

The idea of ghosts has become so popular that there are countless ghost hunting shows. People also flock to haunted houses/hotels to spend the night and see what they’ll experience. Ghosts have been said to move objects, touch people, even push people, and appear at the foot of beds or in hallways, and also drain electrical appliances so they can do these things.

Ghosts, although many people are frightened of them because anything with death and the afterlife can be scary, they do not hurt people. Only dark entities cause harm.

Popular Ghost Movies:

Beetlejuice
Casper
Corpse Bride

Sleepy Hollow

QUESTION: What’s your favorite ghost movie?


Fictional witches have magnificent supernatural powers such as the ability to conjure fire, control the wind, and send lightning down from the sky. They vanquish demons and warlocks with spells and potions (Charmed). They cast spells with wands and fly on broomsticks (Harry Potter).

Witches outside of fiction don’t have supernatural powers. Wicca is a religion that honors the earth and nature. Wiccans use herbs and stones to cast spells for strength, love, courage, among other things.

Because of the stigma around witches, many people fear them and picture them cackling over a bubbling cauldron. In fiction, they most likely do just that. In real life, they laugh with friends over a stove while they make a soup or tea full of delicious ingredients that may heighten health and happiness.

Popular Witch Movies:

Bell Book and Candle
Bewitched
Harry Potter
Hocus Pocus
Practical Magic
Teen Witch
The Craft
The Crucible
The Good Witch
The Witches
The Witches of Eastwick
Twitches
Wizard of Oz
