Ghosts Spirits & Hauntings Types
What are ghosts, spirits & hauntings? What are the different types of these enti
ties? So we can make things easier to understand, lets briefly talk about our un
iverse, dimension & plane of existence. If we have a better understanding of our
surroundings, we can better understand these phenomena and how it's possible fo
r ghosts, spirits & hauntings to exist in our world. Scientific facts and leadin
g theories are great places to start.
The Universe
The universe is made of energy. Everything around you is energy when broken down
to it's purest form of subatomic particles including yourself. Energy cannot be
totally destroyed, it just changes form. When you are born, a spark of energy b
rings you into this world, and within our universe are other dimensions or plane
s of existence. There are many doorways to these worlds and black holes will soo
n prove this. Astro physicists agree black that holes exist and we now have the
technology to create them with particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Colli
der near Geneva. A black hole is a perfect example of how anything is possible i
n this universe because all the laws of physics go out the window when you reach
the center, which is called the Singularity. Leading scientists agree the singu
larity is a very likely place to enter another dimension or plane of existence.
This gives a great argument that doorways to other worlds do exist and how such
phenomena like ghosts, spirits & hauntings are scientifically possible on our di
mensional frequency in a universe made of energy.
Everything in this Universe has energy
Everything in this Universe has purpose
Everything in this Universe is connected
Ghosts
What are ghosts? Our theory is that ghosts are the energy of a person or animals
soul that once lived. Ghosts exist in between our dimension and the next, like
a radio signal that isn't quite coming in clear on our dimensional frequency. Th
ey have not fully crossed over to the spirit realm. There are multiple reasons w
hy ghosts make themselves known to us and how they interact with the living is u
sually determined by what personality characteristics they had when they where a
live.
Ghost Personality Characteristics
Ghosts were once human, just like you and I. It is believed that you keep your p
ersonality characteristics when you die. For example, if you where an evil perso
n in life, you will be the same as a ghost. Mean spirited ghosts usually torment
the living at haunted locations, feeding off the victims fear energy. The same
goes for good people. If you were a loving person in life, you will be a loving
ghost. Good spirited ghosts are usually very protective of families that live in
haunted locations.Remember not all ghosts are bad.
Why Ghosts Are Here
There are multiple reasons why ghosts make themselves known to us and why they a
re still here. However, there doesn't have to be a particular reason, sometimes
they just happen.It can happen to anyone, at any age and remains a mystery as to
why.
Crisis Apparitions
Crisis apparitions are usually a one-time paranormal experience, when a ghost is
seen at the time of it's death by family & friends as a way of saying goodbye o
r giving important information. For example, your watching tv in your living roo
m after visiting your mother in the hospital, and turn around to see her standin
g over you smiling and then she vanishes. A second later, the phone rings and wh
en you answer, her doctor tells you she has just passed. If someone visits you m
ore than once to give you information or comfort, that is a good sign they have
progressed to your self appointed guardian angel. We will get more in depth abou
t this in the spirit section.
Ghosts That Are Unaware They Are Deceased
Ghosts that are unaware that they are deceased, go about their business as if th
ey are still living. They do not understand they have passed. A great example is
the movie "The Others". The ghosts portrayed in the movie believe the living ar
e the ghosts. Sometimes, ghosts cant see the living but instead feel their prese
nce. This can cause stress on the ghost as well as the living and happens often
when people move into the house of a recently deceased person, usually an elderl
y person who lived and died alone in the final years. The ghost sees the new com
ers as invaders, but simply talking to the ghost about their death can help them
cross over.
Ghosts With Unfinished Business
Ghosts with unfinished business can linger in this world for numerous reasons. L
ike a father making sure his children succeed in life despite his sudden death.
There are many cases involving victims of foul play unable to cross over until j
ustice has been served. Another example would be of a recently deceased lover ma
king sure their partner finds happiness and moves on.
Ghosts that are trapped or lost
These types of ghosts usually know they are dead, but for one reason or another
cannot cross over yet. Some may fear moving on because of the person they were i
n life, or they fear leaving what is familiar to them. Some ghosts may be trappe
d in fear and held captive by another ghost or evil spirit, like in a murder sui
cide haunting. Other ghosts may be trapped at a location because an evil spirit
or ghost may have drove them to suicide. Dark entities feed off the fear energy
of ghosts and the living. A common example of a lost ghost could be someone who
died abroad and is now trying to find their way home.
Vengeful Ghosts
An example of a vengeful ghost would be if a women was murdered by a male and no
w as a ghost only torments or attacks males when they are present at the haunted
location.
Hungry Ghosts
In Chinese/ Hindu Buddhist belief, the Hungry Ghosts are said to come back to th
is realm for reasons such as to visit their families or old homes. In Taoism rel
igion, hungry ghosts are deceased people that in one way or another did not find
everything they needed in the afterlife. These ghosts will come back to feed of
f victims fear energy. It is believed that leaving offerings of food, drink & mo
ney will appease them, so they will leave in peace.
Residual Ghosts
Residual ghosts usually live out their final hours over and over again. Residual
s most often show no intelligence or self awareness, they will go right past or
through you without a flinch. Many believe it was their emotional energy that le
ft an imprint or recording on our our dimensional frequency, like a tape recorde
r. One example would be of someone getting hit by a train on a full moon night a
nd now every time there's a full moon the ghost is seen walking the tracks.
Child Ghosts
Child ghosts are the ghost of children that have passed for one reason or anothe
r. This type of paranormal activity is very sad for obvious reasons. These types
of ghosts are usually lonely and seek attention, inadvertently terrifying peopl
e by making toys or other objects move. Some believe these ghosts are actually d
emons in disguise.
Ghostly Sounds and Smells
Ghostly sounds like knocking, screams, music, moaning, and voices are quite comm
on around haunted locations. These sounds can be residual or intelligent. Knocki
ng is an old way of communicating with the dead. Ghostly smells are also a very
common occurrence in areas with high levels of paranormal activity and they can
be residual or intelligent as well. Perfumes, cigar smoke and food smells are ju
st a few of the scents one may encounter. Beware of foul smells like rotting gar
bage or sulfurs, to name a few. Foul smells like these could mean dark entities,
demons or very evil ghosts are making themselves known.
Animal Ghosts
Animal ghosts are the ghosts of deceased animals and can remain in this world fo
r numerous reasons, like their human counterparts. Animal spirit guides are diff
erent than animal ghosts. Look in the spirit section for more information on ani
mal spirit guides.
Living Ghosts
A living ghost can be when the soul leaves the body of the still living. Such as
outer body experiences, near death experiences and astral projections. There ar
e some rare cases of people seeing themselves as a ghost only at a different age
. This can happen if something traumatic took place and a piece of you was left
behind or imprinted in some way at a location. These rare types of ghosts can sh
ow intelligence and self awareness. A doppelganger is different because its an e
xact copy of yourself. Doppelgangers can be harmless or omens of death. The harm
less doppelgangers are often times an unconscious projection of a persons will. T
he entity is visible to others, but the projector rarely sees it. This is a good
thing, because it is believed that when a person witnesses their own doppelgang
er it then becomes a omen of their impending death.
Ghost Vessel, Ghost Ship, Phantom Vehicle or Ghostly Object
Phantom vehicle may refer to a ghostly or haunted vehicle, also, for insurance p
urposes, a vehicle that causes death, injury, or damage without making physical
contact. These types of ghostly phenomena could be due to the enormous amounts o
f human energy that has passed through these vehicles when they where in service
and can be very disturbing because they are usually connected to tragic events.
For example, a ship carrying thousands of passengers throughout its carrier cou
ld store tones of energy and eventually take on a type of life of its own. There
are many reports of ghost ships seen by sailors. Many are apparitions of ships
that have sunk, wrecked aground, or disappeared years or centuries ago. Some sai
lors say siting a ghost ship foretells of impending doom on the high seas.
Many apparitions of trains, cars and carriages have been seen as well. According
to the legend, every April 29th, Lincolns Ghost Train is seen. The funeral car
carrying the body of Abraham Lincoln rumbles through the town of Urbana, Ohio, f
ollowing the route it took back in 1865 when it carried the President's body bac
k to Springfield, Illinois.
Spirits
A spirit is a generic term used to describe any entity that was never human like
angels, demons, elementals or other Gods. However a human spirit, is the soul o
f a person who has crossed over and is not bound to this world like ghosts.
Angels
Angels are spirits aligned with God, they are positive energy beings that were n
ever human. Some believe there is a hierarchy of Angels, each with a specific pu
rpose. Different ways to evoke these spirits have been around for centuries and
they will protect you from dark entities as well as the living. It is said an An
gels aura is so bright that it gives the appearance of wings. Angels represent t
he good and positive forces of the Universe, however they are very powerful bein
gs that are not to be trifled with.
Guardian Angels
Guardian Angels are believed to be human spirits, usually an ancestor sent to gu
ide and protect you along life's journey. It is said that a person can have more
than one Guardian Angel depending on someones sensitivity to the spirit world a
s well.
Animal Spirit Guide
Native Americans believe that when you are born an animals spirit enters your bo
dy. They could be a type of animal guardian of your soul and will protect you al
ong life's journey.
Demons
Demons are negative none human spirits, commonly used in Judeo - Christian terms
as fallen Angels. The term also applies to many different Gods & Spirits in oth
er cultures that predate Judeo - Christian ones. It is believed there is a hiera
rchy with demons as well, ranging from the very powerful to lesser ones. Demons
are very deceptive about concealing their true identity, often disguising themse
lves as harmless spirits or ghosts. A demon can appear as many entities to confu
se its targets and to extract more fear energy out of victims by making their nu
mbers seem greater. However they usually attack in waves starting with the lesse
r Demons leading the way. Once the victim has been morally broken down over time
the more powerful Demons step in for the possession. It is important to obtain
the Demons name, as this will help the Exorcist or Shaman in the exorcism or cle
ansing. Foul smells like rotting garbage and sulfur are tell tail signs of a dem
onic presence. The sounds of animal grunting are associated as well, and their a
ppearance can range from a dark shadow form, human- like form to, half animal li
ke creatures. Never taunt or challenge a demon unless properly trained, as this
usually increases the violence at a haunted location.
Demons are evil inhuman supernatural beings of intelligence, wit and power. They
have the ability to invade our homes, attach themselves to objects and humans a
nd cause both mental and emotional torture by attacking or possessing humans. Th
ey can morph into any shape they wish, from humans to animals, before your eyes.
They are neither male nor female, but will change to whatever meets their need
at the time. Demons are most commonly seen as black masses standing in doorways
or in corners of the room. They have a hatred for mankind and think of us as low
ly and stupid. Most demonic entities like a challenge and are incredibly connivi
ng; they may have you believing they are good spirits or may appear to have gone
away, only to confront you again at the least expected and most vulnerable mome
nt. Their main goal is to break down a person's free will in order to make way f
or possession, beginning as oppression. This can take days, months or years, but
time is of no concern to them... they don't give up easily.
Elementals
Elementals are non human spirits with a connection to the elements of earth, wat
er, air and fire. They are also referred to an older order Gods, Fairies and Elv
es in other cultures.
Shadow Ghosts or Spirits
Shadow ghosts or spirits, this is a type of spirit or ghost. This phenomena coul
d just be a type of form either entity can take, but no one is certain. Their ap
pearance can range from dark grey to black and height varies from 1 foot to 6 ft
or above. They can be seen as dark smoke like figures or blobs.
Shadow People
Not much is known of shadow people, but as the technology improves, the paranorm
al community is getting more and more evidence of their existence. Some call the
m watchers or observers from another dimension. Shadow people may not be ghosts
or spirits. Some are described as tall, black humanoid like beings with red eyes
and no necks. Others are described as shadow like black masses.
Hauntings
A Haunting is when paranormal activity has been occurring for a lengthy period o
f time in a certain location. An area can become haunted for many reasons, not j
ust untimely deaths or tragic accidents. Sometimes an area can become haunted be
cause it was the favorite place of a person who has passed. People do not have t
o die at a location for it to become haunted and it can technically happen anywh
ere. The architecture of a structure, the minerals in the land, underground spri
ngs and other water sources can have a major factor as well. For example, you sh
ould never build structures on top of limestone or water tables, because limesto
ne retains energy and water is a conductor of energy. This belief dates back ove
r 5000 years in ancient China and other areas in the region.
Haunted
Haunted can refer to a person, object, or place that has a ghost or spirit attac
hed to it. Haunted objects can be anything from jewelry to an old piano and ofte
n have an aura in photos. Sometimes it can be a person that's haunted and not th
e area.
Residual Haunting
An imprint left at a location that repeats itself over and over again. Residual
ghosts usually live out their final hours at haunted locations. Residuals most o
ften show no intelligence or self awareness, they will go right past or through
you without a flinch. Many believe it was their emotional energy that left an im
print or recording on our our dimensional frequency, like a tape recorder.
Intelligent Haunting
An intelligent haunting is when paranormal activity interacts with the living an
d shows some type of intelligence.
Demonic Haunting
A Demonic haunting, is when a negative, non human spirit or spirits haunt a loca
tion. These types of hauntings usually start out playful but can quickly turn ve
ry dangerous and even deadly. Demons destroy families and can haunt people their
entire lives. Even if they move, the demons will follow. An exorcism or cleansi
ng must be conducted to rid the victim, object or location of these negative ent
ities, by a demonologist, priest or shaman, but there's is no guarantee this wil
l work.
Infestation
The term 'Infestation' is used when multiple ghosts, spirits or demons are invol
ved in a haunting. Infestation can also used to describe a very intense rise in
paranormal activity at a location.
