It’s almost October, which means my favorite holiday, Halloween! I’m going to blog ghost stories every week in October, but to get everyone in the mood, I thought I’d talk about how to get rid of ghosts, or at least keep them at bay.

Spin clockwise (or deosil) three times before entering your house, and any ghosts will be too confused to follow you inside.
If the identity of a troublesome ghost is known, take some small personal item which belonged to them. Cut a sweet potato in half and hollow out the inside. Put the item inside the hollowed-out part and pierce the potato with iron nails to keep the halves together. Bury the whole thing in a graveyard.
Ghosts can’t cross running water or a line or circle made out of salt.

If you look into a mirror and see the reflection of a loved one who is far away, that person has just died.
Some ghosts seem to have a purpose for hanging around, usually due to unfinished business. If their task can be completed, they will move on and the haunting will end.

Know any ghost-busting methods? Let me know in the comments: I love hearing from you!
