Different kinds of hauntings.......

I have had people call with many different concerns about what is going on in their homes. Some have heard unexplained noises, doors & cabinets opening & closing, electrical issues, items being moved or missing, shadows, cold spots, a touching sensation, apparitions and more…

There are different kinds of “hauntings” that produce different kinds of activity. Here is a simplified explanation of some of the possibilities….

Residual Haunting:
A residual haunting is like a recording of a past event. The movie simply plays over and over again. This type of haunting does not involve and intelligent spiritual presence that can interact with you. Some may be able to see this occurring while others cannot see it at all.

Intelligent Haunting:
Humans, upon death, may remain behind in spirit form, for various reasons.
(you can explore this further at following blog http://paranormalpoint.blogspot.com/2014/01/earth-bound-spirits-lost-souls-ghosts.html).
Some can communicate verbally via and EVP via a recording that was made, but not heard by anyone alive at the actual time of recording. There are also situations where the spirit can manifest in full form as light/energy or in form with no substance. Although these are called an intelligent haunting, even the spirit may not be aware that they are dead. The spirit may also be fully aware of what they are doing as well.

Shadow People:
Every culture around the world has report of shadow people. Even though there isn't any one agreed on answer, here are a few theories..... They appear to have mass, as opposed to an apparition. They have non-human like movement, which has been described as either hurried and jerky or floating like a balloon or in traveling in slow motion or thick unseen syrup. Some believe that they are inter-dimensional beings which exist in a universe parallel to our own. Others suggest that they are demonic entities, or are observers from somewhere else; some even suggest that they may be created unconsciously by negative psychic energy related to a extreme emotional or physical stress and or trauma that took place.

Poltergeists:
It means noisy ghost in German, but a poltergeist isn’t a ghost at all. The prevailing theory involves an adolescent female (although sometimes there is none), subconsciously causing objects to move, bang and crash due to rage or other emotions. It will appear suddenly and disappear just as quickly.

Entities:
Sometimes called inhuman spirits they have never been the spirit or ghost of someone who has passed away. These entities were never human and may be referred to by some as evil spirits or demons. The goal seems to be possession of a human. A bad smell and guttural growling is associated with this type of haunting.

Personal experiences with many of the above lead me to believe vehemently that ghosts and the afterlife exist. Proving it scientifically is something else all together. Some suggest that we simply have not development advanced enough equipment to do so. But, Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientific minds of our times suggested the theory that energy cannot be created or destroyed. And in doing so, he suggests that the energies of our bodies need to go somewhere when we die….so why not in the form of ghosts?
