| Back To Definitions | |||||||||||||||||||
| Cold Spot When a spirit crosses into the physical realm it must draw in energy to do so. A cold spot occurs when energy is taken from the air around a spirit so it can stay in this world. It is an extreme temperature drop in an isolated area. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Ectoplasm A mucus type substance believed to be given off by spirits or through a medium's nose, eyes, mouth, etc. when in a trance | |||||||||||||||||||
| EMF Electro-Magnetic Field, Every living and electronic object in the world gives off an energy field. It is believed that spirit energy is similar to this field. | |||||||||||||||||||
| EVP Electronic Voice Phenomenon, A disembodied voice and/or sound heard through a recording. When hunting EVP DO NOT use the words Spirit, Dead, Ghost, Etc. in your questions. Sometimes a spirit does not know that they have passed away. Bringing that fact to their attention could lead to an emotional outburst which may harm the investigator. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Haunting Spirit activity attatched to a specific area, home or person. Hauntings are usually long lasting and come in different forms: Demonic: Non Human Intelligent: Responsive to the living and environment Poltergeist: Usually brought about by subconscious stress or turmoil Residual: A replay of past life events. Also known as an imprinting. The spirit does not react to anything but replays a previous life event over and over again like clockwork |

| Orbs/Globules A white or transparent ball of light believed to be a spirit. Orbs manifest when a spirit crosses into the physical world.

Light reflection off a shiny object and dust particles are often mistaken for Orbs. They are better when caught on video because you can see the movement of the object in question and better determine whether it's dust, a bug or something Paranormal. | |||||||||||||||||||
