Understanding the Different Types of Hauntings
Before you go into your first investigation it’s important that you know some of the things you might encounter. Here is a good place to start; what are the types of hauntings. You’ve heard these words in different ghost hunting shows I’m sure, hopefully I can help give a more straightforward definition for some of these:
Residual Haunting: In this type of haunting, there is no conscious entity or spirit involved. Instead, haunting is caused by the residual energy or emotion that has been imprinted on a location or object.
Intelligent Haunting: This type of haunting involves the presence of a conscious entity or spirit. These entities can communicate with the living through various means, such as moving objects, creating sounds, or appearing as apparitions.
Poltergeist Activity: Poltergeist activity is a type of haunting that involves the movement of physical objects, such as doors opening and closing, or objects being thrown. This type of activity is often associated with teenagers or individuals experiencing emotional distress.
Demonic Haunting: Demonic haunting is believed to be caused by an evil entity or demon. The activity associated with this type of haunting is often aggressive and can include physical attacks on those who are present.
Shadow People: Shadow people are dark, human-shaped figures that are often seen moving around or standing still in a location. The appearance of shadow people is often associated with feelings of fear or dread.
Apparitions: Apparitions are typically visual manifestations of ghosts or spirits. They can take on various forms, from misty figures to solid-looking human shapes.
It’s important to note that these classifications are not always clear-cut, and different hauntings can exhibit a combination of different types of phenomena.
Hope you learned a few things! Have a great Friday and I’ll see you again soon.
