Types of Ghosts

Ghosts are not simply defined, there are several different types that may haunt a location. We have tried to catagorize them into four basic groups.

1) Intelligent Hauntings.

These are the types of ghosts that interact with those around them, generally making themselves known and a nuisance by scaring people who are in their location. Some of the things they can do include whispering, slamming doors, temperature drops, moving items and body contact. The personality of a ghost is set by how they were in life. If they were unkind and nasty in life don't expect them to be any different in death. Intellegent hauntings contain the energy of the person, thats why some people can feel intense feelings when confronted with a ghost.

2) Residual Hauntings.

A residual haunting is a memory of an event that replays itself over and over again. Sometimes it feels like your in a film you can see the action but they are not aware of you. You are witnessing a memory not true spirit activity. Hauntings like this include activity such as walking through walls, footsteps and knockings.

3) Poltergeists.

These are the least understood part of paranormal activity. They create havoc usually centering around young and/or emotionally disturbed people. The most recent belief is that they are unknowingly able to move things by psychokinesis (using the energy of the brain).This type of activity includes rocks been thrown and fires been started.

4) Elementals.

These are spirits of the earth such as fairies, pookas and other nature spirits. They are mischievous beings that can play with the electrical items, turn taps on and off and hide items from you.
