I agree with Stacy completely on this one.

Also, sometimes the strong emotional bond between two people can keep the spirit with them.

The town I live in, Mount Carroll, Illinois, was laid out 170yrs. ago with the "supernatural traveler" in mind. I was told the old belief was that a spirit can not move over a body of water. The city graveyard is on a hill overlooking the downtown, but "protected" by the Wakarusha river that wraps almost completly around the entire chunk of land, imprisoning 7,500 graves. The un-wise people that chose to build on cemetary hill were looked down upon by the rest of the town until fairly recent times. Every October for the last 4yrs. graveyard tours are offered by the chamber of commerce ,these have to be "historical" in nature to be tolerated by the community as not being "disrespectful to the dead.

Greetings from The Ancient One

To begin yes spirits travel with people . That is why the first thing you do during an investigation is determine if the spirit is with the people or the place .

Having said that , your house may be knew but the land is not . So if the spirit is displaying different traits and behaving differently , i would check out the history of the property and area .

FOREVER IN PEACE

from our experience, yes, my father was in the house he lived in when my son & daughter-in-law moved in there & when they moved to a new house, my daughter-in-law also saw him at the new house several times. our theory is that he is watching over their son who was born in the previous house.
