Spiritual Protection and Energy
How do I understand ghosts described as flying after cars in stories?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
I have said that a ghost following a car and appearing to fly does not necessarily mean it can fly freely at any height. In my understanding, sometimes energy seems attached outside the car, and movement makes the person feel it remains beside them.
I understand these beings as energy retaining some habits from human life. So I have also said we would not ordinarily assume a ghost is suspended outside simply because someone lives on the fourth or fifth floor. Floating near the ground differs from flying high above it.
These are religious understandings of the unseen world, not confirmation of what happened from a ghost story. I also read the Xinhai Tunnel ghost grandmother story online, with differing versions involving chasing cars or urging drivers to slow down.
Some images may be perceived within consciousness without an actual body standing before us. A story claiming many witnesses does not remove the need for judgment or make it an established collective paranormal event.
