| There are different types of energies that people commonly call "ghosts". Each one is very different and unique. DIFFERENT TYPES OF "GHOSTS": Apparition A traditional apparition is a ghost who interacts with the living, either for better or worse. These are the spirits who can playfully hide objects, sit on your bed and frighten you awake, throw sharp objects, or plea for help. Apparitions such as these are thought to be held over in this world because of unfinished business or due to a violent death and need help from the living to resolve their issues before passing on to the next realm. This is considered “intelligent” haunting because the ghosts appear to be aware of the people around them as well as their surroundings. Residual Energy A residual haunting are basically recorded images of past events that replay over and over again in the same place. (Imprints on the world) These ghosts never vary their routine and do not seem to be aware of the presence of others. These “recordings” are thought to be imprints left over from strong emotion at the time of death or created by magnetic fields that literally tape-record an event. Anniversary Ghosts An anniversary ghost is a type of residual haunting where ghosts are seen on the anniversary of their death, originally caused by some tragic event. These are particularly common in castle hauntings and relate back to legends of tragedies from centuries past. Poltergeist A poltergeist is described as a disorderly spirit, whose activities very often center on an adolescent member of a household, who creates violent havoc by moving objects, making loud noises, and generally creating unpleasant and potentially dangerous situations. Messenger Ghosts A messenger spirit is a type of ghost which is often a family ghost, often appearing to family members to herald the death of another family member. Projection Ghosts Projection ghosts are ghosts which some say are all in the mind and are merely a projection of thoughts and fears of the human subconscious. Vortex, funnel ghosts A vortex is a very strange and mysterious phenomena. They usually take on the appearance of a swirling funnel shape when moving about. They can also appear in pictures as being long and narrow and having a tread design within their make up. They are readily confused with a speeding orb when they slow down and take on this straight & narrow look. Elemental Ghosts Probably the most fascinating and most frightening paranormal phenomenon in when it comes to ghosts are what are known as "Elemental Spirits". But what are elemental spirits? An elemental spirit is best described as a spirit which inhabits nature, such as legendary/mythical creatures like goblins/elves or brownies. They are commonly described as shape-shifting spirits, with the ability to become however big or small, from a solid form to a liquid form at a blink of an eye. Although reports suggest that people have come into contact with these spirits, they are quite a rare occurrence. |
