Residual Haunting:
activity can occur when
something traumatic/stressful occurs, such as a murder or a rape.Negative energy
is literally blasted into the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to imprint or
record the events. Like a recording tape, it will play the events over and over
again. The entities involved in this residual haunting activity are unaware of
their surroundings. This is not an intelligent haunting, there is no interaction
between you and the entity.
Residual haunting activity can be caused by agitated nervousness, such as
a new politician that is nervous about talking in front of a crowd of people.
The speech by this politician is played back over and over again as a residual
haunting effect.
Poltergeist Activity:
is usually caused by an adolescent teenage girl going through puberty stages. During this stage of development, a young girl can harbor an extreme amount of inner energy. This energy can be projected
with the mind, which can cause tapping sounds, the movement of objects, lights
flickering off and on. Poltergeist activity usually originates from a human
being.
Demons:
are entities that never had a mortal human
form. Origins: Extraterrestrial. Why? If you believe that God and his angels
are from the 'heavens', that would make them extraterrestrial. If Satan and 1/3
of the angels rebelled against God's Kingdom, then Satan and 1/3 of the angels
that became demons are also extraterrestrial. That is why they never had mortal
human form. Einstein said that E = MC2. Energy can be converted into matter and
matter into energy. Demons are pure energy entities. They are described in
three different ways.
1. As angelic, a being of beauty that will manipulate the
person to commit something that is sinful or out of the ordinary.
2. Horrific, evil looking. Some people claim, they have
seen demons that are incredibly hideous to look at. I believe demons do this for
a scare effect, they know what we fear and this is not their true
appearance.
3. Black mist, black fog, black shadow, black smoke. Most
demonic hauntings, the occupants claim to be followed by black mist or black
fog
The primary distinction between spirits
and ghosts as understood by other researchers, is that ghosts are earthbound,
whereas spirits have allegedly passed on to the light and are free to move
between realms.
Phantoms:
These are ghosts which so closely resemble the living
that they are often not realized as ghosts until they do something uncanny,
like walk through a wall.
1) Phantom Hitchhikers:
According to many urban legends, these
are ghosts who typically interact with the living in such a way that they ask
for a ride, and before arriving at the destination, they mysteriously
disappear. Usually occurs on the anniversary of their death.
2) Phantom Travelers:
Ghosts that are found along a certain
route, usually as a result of a deadly accident . They can be riding horses, or
prepared to board a train or plane. Most manifest on the anniversary of their
death
Apparitions:
Ghosts which are clearly such are known as
apparitions. There are several different categories:
1) Atmospheric:
Also known as a residual or replay haunting,
these are typically seen in only one location repeating a certain action again
and again, usually something attached to a traumatic event. I discuss this more
under Location Based.
2) Crisis or Deathbed:
These appear to family or friends
around the time of death. According to Trent Brandon: "They are very common
ghost sightings, but almost never occur more than four days after death."
3) Family:
Ghosts which are connected to a particular familiy,
they often foretell death and disaster.
4) Haunted Objects:
Instead of haunting a location, a
particular object is the anchor for a ghost.
5) Object Apparitions:
Manifestations of ghostly items which
can be natural or manmade objects.
6) Photographic:
Ghosts that are not seen until after a photo
is taken and examined. These MAY include orbs, mists, (ectoplasm) vortexes,
shadows and other unusual light or optical effects. Many debate whether they
are actually ghosts, spirits, or souls; personally I feel they are some kind of
energetic or spiritual byproduct.
7) Historical:
These are like atmospheric except they have can
be seen in more than one location going about their business. Non-interactive,
so they would fall into Location Based. Typically dressed in period clothing
and often appear solid.
8) Recurring:
Ghosts that appear on a certain time schedule or
anniversary; usually annually.
9) Modern:
As Historical, but they resemble more contemporary
people.
10) Transportation:
Also known as Phantom Craft under Location
Based, they are often associated with the final moments of some tragic
accident. The wreckage itself can attach energy in such a way as to become
haunted. There are some kinds that are not necessarily relegated to one
location, but can be seen anywhere that it would have normally been seen in
pre-spirit existence. The Flying Dutchman is a famous example and is usually
sighting one is a bad omen.
11) Marian:
What some believe to be appearances of the Virgin
Mary. This could also cover cameos by other saints or religious/spiritual
figures.
12) Out of Body:
The appearance of a living person who is
actually in another location. They are not necessarily ill or dying, and can be
either solid or translucent. Some claim to recall their OBE and can give
verifiable details about the location they were seen. Probably related to
Astral Projection.
13) Battlefield:
Also known as floating battlefields, they
resemble an actual reenactment of war, but for some reason, they typically
occur above the ground. From several to a hundred feet up, in some cases.
14) Grey Ladies:
The ghosts of women who died in sadness over
love or betrayal. Can be white, grey or black.
Classic Haunting:
Also known as a Entity Haunting, it is
defined as an interactive ghost which does not fall into any special category
such as those mentioned above. Can be a phantom, apparition, presence, or
unexplained events which occur in a certain location.
Graveyard Spectres:
Also known as shells or shades, these are
believed to be the etheric remnants of a person after death. Commonly found in
graveyards days or weeks after a burial, they are scary but not dangerous.
Typically seen as dark, shadowy forms they usually do not communicate or talk.
Legend has it that people were buried alive in new graveyards to create a
guardian, known as an ankou.
Etheric Revenant:
A very rare, but dangerous undead creature
that feeds upon energy from the living, it is the original vampire of legend.
