📔 Questions to reflect on

  1. Reflect on a local legend or unexplained phenomenon from your own area. How might it connect to historical events or specific places?
  2. Consider the idea of 'place memory' or 'haunted geography.' Do you believe locations can retain energetic imprints of past events or emotions?
  3. If a poltergeist followed a house during relocation, what does that suggest about the nature of such entities – are they bound to structures, or to people, or something else entirely?
