Ghost Spirits Hauntings:
What are ghosts, spirits & hauntings? So we can make things easier to understand, lets briefly talk about our universe, dimension & plane of existence. If we have a better understanding of our surroundings, we can better comprehend these phenomena and how it's possible for ghosts, spirits & hauntings to exist in our world. Scientific facts and leading theories are great places to start.
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 changes its form. Within our universe are other dimensions or planes of existence. There are many doorways to these worlds and black holes will soon prove this. Astrophysicists agree that black holes exist and we now have the technology to create them with particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva. A black hole is a perfect example of how anything is possible in 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 singularity 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 dimensional 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.
Ghost
In traditional belief and fiction, a ghost (sometimes known as a spectre (British English) or specter (American English), phantom,apparition or spook) is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes, to realistic, lifelike visions They have not fully crossed over to the spirit realm. There are multiple reasons why ghosts make themselves known to us and how they interact with the living is usually determined by what personality characteristics they had when they where alive.
Ghost Personality Characteristics
Ghosts were once living beings, just like you and me. It is believed that we keep our personality characteristics when we die. For example, if you where an evil person 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 are 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 or giving important information. For example, your watching tv in your living room after visiting your mother in the hospital, and turn around to see her standing over you smiling and then she vanishes. A second later, the phone rings and when you answer, her doctor tells you she has just passed. If someone visits you more 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 about this in the spirit section.
Ghosts That Are Unaware
They are ghosts that are unaware that they are deceased and go about their business as if they were 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 are the ghosts. Sometimes, ghosts cant see the living but instead feel their presence. 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 elderly person who lived and died alone in the final years. The ghost sees the new comers 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. Like 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 justice has been served. Another example would be of a recently deceased lover making 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 in life, or they fear leaving what is familiar to them. Some ghosts may be trapped in fear and held captive by another ghost or evil spirit, like in a murder suicide 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 now 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 this realm for reasons such as to visit their families or old homes. In Taoism religion, 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 off victims fear energy. It is believed that leaving offerings of food, drink & money will appease them, so they will leave in peace.
Residual Ghosts
Residual ghosts usually live out their final hours over and over again. Residuals 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 left an imprint or recording on our dimensional frequency, like a tape recorder. One example would be of someone getting hit by a train on a full moon night and 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 another. This type of paranormal activity is very sad for obvious reasons. These types of ghosts are usually lonely and seek attention, inadvertently terrifying people by making toys or other objects move.
Ghostly Sounds and Smells
Ghostly sounds like knocking, screams, music, moaning, and voices are quite common around haunted locations. These sounds can be residual or intelligent. Knocking 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 just a few of the scents one may encounter. Beware of foul smells like rotting garbage or sulfur, 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 for numerous reasons, like their human counterparts. Animal spirit guides are different than animal ghosts.
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 are 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 show intelligence and self awareness. A doppelganger is different because its an exact copy of yourself. Doppelgangers can be harmless or omens of death. The harmless doppelgangers are often times an unconscious projection of a person’s will. The 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 doppelganger 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 purposes, a vehicle that causes death, injury, or damage without making physical contact. These types of ghostly phenomena could be due to the enormous amounts of human energies that have 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 career could store tons of energy and eventually take on a type of life of its own. There are many reports of ghost ships having been seen by sailors. Many are apparitions of ships that have sunk, wrecked aground, or disappeared years or centuries ago. Some sailors believe that the sighting of 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 a 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, following the route it took back in 1865 when it carried the President's body back to Springfield, Illinois. There is also the Screaming Bridge in Arlington, Texas down in the Trinity Bottoms. One night after a high school football game a carload of kids were driving fast on a country road just outside of the park. Coming to a narrow bridge over the Trinity River they met their fate when they did not see another car coming hitting it head on. Both cars erupted into flames and plummeted into the river below. All involved were killed and since then the road has been closed and can only be walked to through the park. Legend has it that if you find the bridge you will see the dates of the occurrence and the names of the deceased glowing as tombstones in the water and if after that you still dare you can sit in the middle of the bridge on the night that it happened and at midnight you will witness a heavy fog coming up from the river as you see headlights approaching from either side of the bridge.
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 of 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 never human. Some believe there is a hierarchy of Angels, each with a specific purpose. 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 Angels aura is so bright that it gives the appearance of wings. Angels represent the good and positive forces of the Universe, however they are very powerful beings that are not to be trifled with.
Guardian Angels
Guardian Angels are believed to be human spirits, usually an ancestor sent to guide 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 as well.
Animal Spirit Guide
Native Americans believe that when you are born an animals spirit enters your body. They could be a type of animal guardian of your soul and will protect you along life's journey.
Demons
Demons are negative non human spirits, commonly used in Judeo - Christian terms as fallen Angels. The term also applies to many different Gods & Spirits in other cultures that predate Judeo - Christian ones. It is believed there is a hierarchy with demons as well, ranging from the very powerful to lesser ones. Demons are very deceptive about concealing their true identity, often disguising themselves as harmless spirits or ghosts. A demon can appear as many entities to confuse its targets and to extract more fear energy out of victims by making their numbers seem greater. However they usually attack in waves starting with the lesser 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 cleansing. Foul smells like rotting garbage and sulfur are tell tail signs of a demonic presence. The sounds of animal grunting are associated as well, and their appearance can range from a human- like form to horned, half animal like creatures. Never taunt or challenge a demon unless properly trained, as this usually increases the violence at a haunted location.
Elementals
Elementals are non human spirits with a connection to the elements of earth, water, air and fire. They are also referred to an older order Gods, Fairies and Elves in other cultures.
Shadow Ghosts or Spirits
Shadow ghosts or spirits, this is a type of spirit or ghost. This could just be a type of form either entity can take, but no one is certain. Their appearance 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.
Manifesting
Ghosts & spirits manifest in many ways, shapes and sizes. The more energy an entity has usually determines how it manifests.There seems to be a pattern when entities manifest, starting with vortexes, then orbs, ectoplasm and finally full bodied apparitions. However this is not always the case.
Vortex
A vortex is a type of doorway to the spirit world. Orbs have been captured coming out of them and many believe this is how some entities travel from one realm to the next. Vortexes usually appear only in photos as a misty funnel like shape and they have been photographed in many different colors. It is believed there could be many types of vortexes going to different places used by both positive & negative entities.
Orbs
You must be careful when examining orb evidence because dust, reflections of light or moisture in the air can easily be mistaken for an orb. Energy orbs, spirit orbs or ghost orbs , are spheres of energy containing the soul of the deceased or the essence of a non human entity. Some believe this is the easiest way for ghosts & spirits to manifest, because it takes less energy than a full bodied apparition. Multiple orbs are seen in areas that have high levels of paranormal activity and often point to vortexes, portals or doorways within or around haunted locations. They have been photographed in many different colors and sizes as well. But no one is certain if these differences indicate specific types of spirits or ghosts.
Ectoplasm
Ectoplasm is a thick mist or smoke like substance, usually only seen in photos when paranormal activity is taking place. Faces, as well as other forms have been captured on film within ectoplasm and it appears in many different colors, mainly white, blue and red. Some believe its the energy of an entity trying to manifest. Ectoplasm can also refer to anything left behind by a ghost or spirit.
Full Bodied Apparition
A full bodied apparition is when you can see the complete form of a ghost or spirit. However, most often there is some distortion and transparency to the entities form.
Hauntings
A Haunting is when paranormal activity has been occurring for a lengthy period of time in a certain location. An area can become haunted for many reasons, not just untimely deaths or tragic accidents. Sometimes an area can become haunted because it was the favorite place of a person who has passed. People do not have to die at a location for it to become haunted and it can technically happen anywhere. The architecture of a structure, the minerals in the land, underground springs and other water sources can have a major factor as well. For example, you should never build structures on top of limestone or water tables, because limestone retains energy and water is a conductor of energy.
Haunted
Haunted can refer to a person, object, or place that has a ghost or spirit attached to it. Haunted objects can be anything from jewelry to an old piano and often have an aura in photos. Sometimes it can be a person that's haunted and not the area.
Intelligent Haunting
An intelligent haunting is when paranormal activity interacts with the living and shows some type of intelligence.
Demonic Haunting
A Demonic haunting, is when a negative, non human spirit haunts a location. These types of hauntings usually start out playful but can quickly turn very 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 cleansing must be conducted to rid the victim, object or location of these negative entities, by a demonologist, priest or shaman, but there is no guarantee this will work.
Infestation
The term 'Infestation' is used when multiple ghosts, spirits or demons are involved in a haunting. Infestation can also used to describe a very intense rise in paranormal activity at a location.
Shadow People
Not much is known of shadow people, but as the technology improves, the paranormal community is getting more and more evidence of their existence. Some call them watchers or observers from another dimension. Shadow people may not be ghosts or spirits and from all the data collected, seem to pose no threat to the living. They are described as tall, black humanoid like beings with red eyes and no necks.
Poltergeist
This paranormal phenomenon is the most unknown and difficult type of paranormal activity to identify because of its behavior. The term Poltergeist comes from Germany and translates to "noisy ghost". Some of the signs are loud banging, knocking, disembodied voices, and objects disappearing and reappearing in other locations. Poltergeists can become dangerous because objects have been known to be violently thrown at the agent. This type of paranormal activity has often been blamed on evil ghosts or spirits. However, more recent theories show a connection to psychokinesis. One theory is that a human agent can be the cause of these types of hauntings. This could be a type of spontaneous psychokinesis and could be linked to traumatic experiences that have happened to the agent or subject. This can happen to anyone at any age. The good news is that poltergeist activity can stop just as fast as it began.
