Normally, most ghost when they show themselves to you, it will be the original state as they died. This will make it easier for you to know something about them. There are few reasons why some ghost stay earthbound.
1) Those people who died suddenly such as car accidents , train crash etc do not know that they are already dead. They will normally wander around the vicinity of their death location. An example is the Malaysia north south high way where there are a lot of fatal car accidents.
2) When a dead person has a strong attachment to family members, he will stay back to take care of them. This is especially so when the family member say" Do not leave me, I cant live without you" etc or the family members are very sad and are not very independent. They depend on him when he was alive. This is very common.
3) 22 Sep 2011 , a mother dressed herself and her three year old in red and also painted their fingernails in red commit suicide in Singapore Bedok Reservoir. It is a Chinese belief that when someone commit suicide in red, the vicious spirit will come back to seek revenge on the person who caused them to die. They were found dead with their eyes wide open and almost popping out. Their eyes cannot even close even after they embalmed for the funeral wake. It means that they died with a lot of hatred & anger in their mind according to Chinese belief. Following the death of mother & son, a few case of death follows, 10 Oct 2011, an indian man body was found , 25 Oct 2011,an elderly woman in her 50s was found floating, 5 Nov 2011, a Chinese male body was fished out from the reservoir.
These types of revengeful ghosts are the victims of murder (direct or indirect) and hold on to their anger and hatred that they were experiencing when they died. Their negative energy will cause the surrounding temperature to drop.

Dharma： Naga Vase 龙王宝瓶
龙王是佛教天龙八部护法之一，具有广大的威神力。护法龙王都曾在佛前发下大誓愿，要护持佛法及修行佛法的人。
供养龙王能使其忆念自己的本誓，生大欢喜心，遣除违缘灾难，护持佛法兴盛，增长财富寿命，满足一切世出世间的善愿，而且实现很快。
由于自然界受人为因素的破坏而严重失衡，例如，人类对水族众生的滥捕滥杀日益恶劣，以及过度开发森林、挖沙添海、开山劈石、污染江河湖海等，使龙族频受滋扰及伤害，无法安居喜悦而心生怨怒，必然导致种种天灾人祸的发生。气候反常、干旱水灾、瘟疫恶疾蔓延等；就个体而言，容易患脏腑失调、气脉不通或麻风病、肿胀发炎等皮肤疾病。
龙王宝瓶的装藏品有珍贵的药材、龙王甘露丹、龙药、供龙香、陀罗尼咒幔等，以无上密法连续加持七天，成为能平息龙族身心疾苦及怨怒的法药，可幫助所有龍族圓滿所願，如治療龍族身體之病痛，克服龍族身體之痛苦、痊癒龍族肢節毀斷之苦, 並且不是享用一次就完了，而是能够持之以恒、相续不断地享用.
海上献龙王宝瓶，为龙王祈祷离苦得乐，早日成佛；而诸天龙王接受我们的供养与祈祷，欢喜愉悦，必定尽心尽力满足众生的愿望，使风调雨顺，国泰民安，远离各种天灾人祸、逢凶化吉，并能听闻正法离苦得乐。
龙王的寿命都很长，你现在供养了龙王宝瓶，下一世他还会记得你，增长你的福报，护持你还能遇到佛法，修行直至解脱。所以，供养龙王宝瓶的功德很大，不仅现世增长财富寿命，得大权势，求子得子，求事业，求平安，求修行成就等等，而且生生世世都受益。
龙王乃一切权势之王，掌管一切财富，供龙王宝瓶者可成就以下功德及利益：
‧财富资财得无限增长，具足权贵，人所敬爱。
‧风调雨顺，五穀丰收。
‧国家安泰，免受疾病、瘟疫，怪病等侵害。
‧一切事业顺利无碍，生意兴隆。
‧免受蛇类伤害，不受诸毒侵害。

Dharma: Karma
Karma is the law of cause and effect. In simple term, it means you reap what you sow. If you plant tomato, you will get tomato. If you plant potato, tomato will not grow.
Your action, word & thoughts will affect your karma. It can affect your wealth, health, relationships & family etc. The effect may come now or later.
Everyone has a different karma. Some people are born rich, some are born not well to do, some with good health while some has bad health. What we are now is what we had done in the past. What we do now is what we will be in our future.
Our good action, good word, good thoughts now will sow seeds of future good happenings, good rewards & happiness. Suffering is a cause from our karma due to non virtuous deeds. Non virtuous deeds arising from our attachment, aversions, pride, jealousy, ignorance etc.
To carry out virtuous deeds, we must eliminate attachment, aversions, pride, jealousy, ignorance in order to have good karma.
