Haunting 101 - Know your ghost

I thought I'd add something regarding the different types of common haunting. I don't think people realise that a ghost isn't just "a ghost". They are categorised into different types, and this will help distinguish between each one.


These types of haunting are all based on my (ownjoouk) thoughts, from what I have read and watched in the past.


Residual Haunting


A residual haunting is when a positive/negative energy is trapped in the physical realm, and plays back almost like a recording of the original event that took place. The negative side of this could be caused by a murder or a rape that was so traumatic it is trapped and leaves an imprint in our realm. People may hear or see this violence repeat over. The positive energy could be caused by a party or other happy event, that again leaves an imprint, and laughter and music can still be heard.


With this type of haunt the apparition won't acknowledge a human being there. As said previously it is simply like a tape playing back, so there will be no interaction with people or objects in our realm.


Intelligent Haunting


For intelligent hauntings I have to touch on Einstein's theory..... but as I have tried my hand at quantum physics on a previous article, I'm quick to shy away from this. I'd feel more comfortable not talking about it!


So basically, all I will say is, according to Einstein, we are beings of matter/energy. As we are beings of matter/energy, we are therefore intelligent (or at least some of us are!). We also always have an aura of energy that surrounds us. Upon our death, this energy leaves our body, but where does it go? This is where the theory of intelligent haunt comes in. If the energy can leave our body, then surely the energy is also intelligent as this controls what we see, think etc.


If this energy becomes trapped in the physical realm, this causes an intelligent haunt where the aura is seen as a "ghost", and the aura stll tries to live out daily tasks.


If the ghost appears to be interacting with objects, or with us, then it is classed as intelligent.


Poltergeist


A poltergeist is most commonly found i na home with young children (particularly during puberty) as it occurs with extreme inner energy. This can causetapping, lights flicking on and off and movement of objects - among other things. This type of haunting is generated by human beings.


Arguably the most well documented poltergeist case is that of the Enfield poltergeist.


It took place in Enfield, London in the late 1970s. This poltergeist case surrounded the Hodgson family, which consisted of mother, 2 daughters and 2 sons. As usual the focus of the activities was around the prepubescent girls. The entity that was stalking the Hodgson's was that of a supposed "Bill". A previous owner of the house.


Have a look on google for more information on this.


Demonic Haunting


Demonic hauntings are very rare, and an extreme haunting to say the least.


The haunting will start very subtle, almost like it is pretending to be your average ghost. Slowly, these hauntings become more frequent and more violent. People have been scratched, beaten and have terrible nightmares and visions. They also attack while you sleep. The demon is not like the characteristic ones you see in movies, like little goblins. They are sinister and calculated.


In some cases the demon can appear angelic and convince the person it is haunting to do "good", which actually isn't good at all. Demons are also said to follow their victim, and can travel from say the UK to australia in the blink of an eye.


In an instance of this haunting, you need proper help from a priest and demonoligist, as trying to get rid of this yourself will only provoke and cause a stronger reaction from the demon.


So this is your 1st lesson on haunting, I hope you find this educational!
