Free Spirits
- These are entities that travel or interact with the living. They
are also the disembodied spirits of the once living, but they can choose
to drop in and interact. They are free to come and go until they
reincarnate or move on to a higher level of the astral plane.
Ghosts
-- A surviving emotional memory of someone who has died traumatically and
tragically but is unaware he/she is dead. They may appear confused or
frightened. Not being ready or yet able to let go of the physical
attachments, they remain in the old and familiar places, repeating the
same acts indefinitely until something or someone breaks the cycle for
them.
Orbs
- Small sphere-shaped masses of energy believed to be either the
beginning of an apparition or a complete manifestation unto itself.
They move on their own at various speeds. Usually invisible to the
naked eye, they are the most common anomaly captured on film.
However, the majority of orbs in photographs can be explained away by
other means such as dust, insects, or camera flaws. A photo of an
orb with a light trail behind is rare and considered more reliable.
Orbs can be found just about anywhere.
Poltergeists
- Poltergeists are a form of ghost that gains energy from people, most
often children or teenagers, and converts it into the ability to move
solid objects. Poltergeists will often announce their presence with
rapping or other noises and generally create disorder. They like to
generate acts of mischief such as throwing furniture about.
Spook Lights
- White, blue, or yellow lights useen glowing in the distance at
night. Unexplained, they are known by different names including
ghost lights, will-o-wisps and ignis fatuus (foolish fire). Many
documented examples of ghost lights have been made including the spook
lights around Joplin,
Missouri,
the Marfa Lights in South
Texas and
the Dover Lights in northwest Arkansas.
Vortexes
- Most often spotted indoors, these swirling funnel-shaped mists show up
in photographs with a tread-like quality in the body. These
anomalies may be spirits themselves, but it is becoming increasingly
believed that it is more likely they are a method of transport between two
worlds. They are often seen with orbs but have also been spotted
alone.
PLACE MEMORIES?
Some hauntings have an eerie resemblance to
life, where ghosts are busy with activities that are common to living
people such as walking around or working. "Ghost Experts" describe
these hauntings in several ways. The first is that the ghost is
simply doing something that he/she did frequently in life. The
second assumes that the sci-fi concept of time-space continuum is real and
that sometimes two time frames overlap. The third explanation is referred
to as a "place memory", which is kind of like a recording of a past event
that has imprinted itself on the environment. These are also called
residual hauntings and recordings. Images and sounds are
impressed upon a place and later replayed in a phenomenon that is similar
to watching a loop of a movie film.
So, perhaps there is no ghost in these types of "hauntings", but rather,
some kind of psychic "record" of a person from long ago.
