AboutWilliam Uchtman Expertise I`ve been reading books about ghosts for a long time and have seen numerous movies about them as well. I can point out what is more likely, what is unlikely and site true examples from the subject. I have also been writing fictional ghost stories off and on since high school. I have been keeping a comprehensive listing of haunted sites for a long time and have visited a few local haunted sites in my area. I do not consider myself a ghost hunter or ghost researcher. I have no college or univerity training in the subject, but I have postulated a few personal theories about the phenomenon.

Question this will seem like a very strange question, but is it possible to summon a positive spirit or "friendly ghost"? I dont have any friends that i can really TALK to. i know it sounds crazy, but is there any way i could summon a ghost to be like a best friend to me?
Answer No. Back in the 70s, I actually heard of "Rent A Ghost" but I never took it seriously. Dabbling in ouija boards is never a good idea because you never know what sort of experience you are going to get. I once read of a seance that laid one gentle spirit to rest, but released a more dangerous one that was much harder to exorcise.
For the kind of friend you want, I highly suggest a small dog. (I own a peek/poodle mix) You can talk to him all you want, and as long as you take care of him, he'll love you unconditionally back.
