Leylines & Ghosts?
During ghost investigations, it is not uncommon for someone to bring up the idea about
ghosts and ley lines. Some ghost investigators have suggested that the most terrible of
poltergeist (noisy ghost) cases have occurred on ley line intersection points. We wanted to
investigate more about ghosts, haunting and if there could be a connection to the ley line
theory.
What are Ley Lines?
It has been believed, for less than a century, that the surface of the earth is marked with
invisible lines of force called “ley lines.” These lines of energy allegedly criss-cross the globe,
reminding one of longitude and latitude lines (though not uniform), aligning at spots of
geographical interest. The Great Pyramid and Stone Henge, for example, have all been
thought to be built upon this invisible energy grid at intersecting ley line points.

Where did Ley Lines Come From?
The concept of ley lines was first conceived,
then shared, by author and archaeologist Alfred
Watkins in his 1921 book, The Old Straight
Track. His theories concerning hidden, mystical
energy lines were formed while observing
footpaths connecting to one another at the top
of a hill. He then simply envisioned the lines
connecting across the globe in the same
manner. Watkins theories would later be
adopted by writers and spiritualists who chose
to expound on his theory.

Can Ley Lines be Explained?
Well, yes they can. The straight paths created
by people walking from place to place,
landmark to landmark, would naturally create
lines of significance. Walking was the primary
method for travel before vehicles were
prominent. It was walking paths that sparked
Watkins idea in the first place. Still, is there any
significance with ghost activity and possibly an
invisible grid?
Right: An example of ley lines, connecting paths between
important places.

Paths, Lines & Haunting
Can we draw a spiritual connection to ancient paths, especially those that linked places of
the dead? Spectral paths between cemeteries in Germany, for example, are known as
geister wegen. Cursuses, found between megalithic sites in Great Britain, were possibly
ancient, processional routes between places of burial. Of course, these pathways are
believed to be haunted.
“Corpse roads” were direct paths that the bodies of the deceased would be hauled down as
they were taken to the graveyard. They have also been called church ways, burial roads, and
coffin lines, spawning quite a bit of folklore about ghosts and spirits haunting these old
pathways.
In separate cases of haunting, it is well known that multiple witnesses occasionally report
seeing the same ghosts repeatedly walking the same paths over and over again. This leads
us to wonder if earthbound spirits also roam the routes between burial places? We would
have to assume it is possible. If ghosts from the past, who possibly haunt these trails, are
disrupted by people, buildings, etc, will they make their displeasure known? In other words, if
someone unknowingly builds a structure on one of these ancient paths, could they be
haunted by an angry ghost? It is possible. Could this explain why some ghosts, who might
believe they are still walking an old road, manifest through walls and other solid objects?
We know that the paths for burial sparked the idea of ley lines; and because they are related,
there just may be some truth to them after all.
