Residual Ghost: Some of
these types of demons are sometimes ignorant in nature.
They tend to mind there own business and they seem to
not even notice the outside environment. These are the
phantom trains and ships, the maiden that is seen
walking the halls of an old mansion at 12:00 AM every
night, but doesn't seem to bother anyone. They replay
over and over again, it's the same as watching a tape or
movie that is replaying past events. They wear the same
clothing and look the same as they did when they died
and they go about with the mundane routine they had when
they were alive. They have a human form and most are
seen as very emotional, most of the time very sad and
sometimes crying.
For and example
if you go to Willard Library, they have a Web Cam set up in
two locations, the
Research Room, and now the
Children's Room. This was intended for the visitors of
the site to actually catch a glimpse of the 'Lady in Grey'
that is said to walk the library in hunt for a book. You can
read about the story of the 'Lady in Grey' by
clicking here. But this is the perfect example of a
Residual Ghost, she is seen doing the same thing, in the
same cloths and going about regular mundane tasks.
Intelligent/Interactive Ghosts:
These types of demons have a purpose when the haunt places
or people. These demons I like to think of as spirits that
come to help with a murder investigations or it could very
well be a spirit guide, or it could be considered a family
or friend that have decided to stay behind in our dimension
to look after the loved ones that they left behind. These
demons can learn to communicate with humans through a form
of channeling, although I feel all demons can do this, to a
point, even the more ignorant types. These demons give off
smells and 'cold spots' and can appear in full form when
they want to.
A perfect
example of this type of demon is a ghost by the name of
Millie Pratt. She haunts the old Pratt Motel in Empire
Colorado. She is said to have fallen down a flight of stairs
while her dad was hard at work. Her mother had died when she
was young and her dad had left her with the maid of the
hotel while he worked. While the maid was busy doing her
regular duties she heard Millie falling down the stairs to
her death. She is also said, and it has been documented,
that she would whisper into the women's ears late at night
saying the words Mommy, Mommy. Some have even seen her
falling down the stairs and some have even seen her laying
at the bottom of the stairs. She seems to make herself known
to only women, this is because she is looking for her mother
that had died. See what I mean? This ghost knows exactly
what she is doing and she knows when women are around!
Orbs/Spheres, Vortex, and Mist:
These types of demons you will find more regularly on
film, they are everywhere. Since ghost are made up of energy
and they need some type of electromagnetic disturbance in
order to fully manifest themselves then this is what you
usually get right before they do infact manifest. Movies are
the ones that have blown this way out of proportion. There
idea of a ghost is when they are a full apparition. These
types of spirits are usually harmless at most, but still be
cautious about dealing with them.
-
Orbs/Spheres: These are perfectly
round in shape, clear milky in color and they just
kind of float, you cannot see them with the naked
eye, but on camera, watch out you will sure notice
them.
-
Vortex: These are white and they
look like a tornado. Some mistake these for the
camera strap on the camera (Pull the strap back when
you take a picture...very important!)
-
Mist: This type of spirit energy
looks like a thin white layer of clouds right in
front of the cameras view, you can catch these
easily on a camcorder and sometimes they swirl
around and fly by at a high rate of speed, so be
prepared!
Now to the POLTERGEIST:
These so called nasty demons are the spirits that make
objects move, they slam doors, open doors and they can just
be down right annoying! They can also be very shy in nature,
plus there are some that can be very dangerous as well. The
word poltergeist derived from the German word that means
'noisy ghost' and that is just what they are! These are the
spirits that you really have to investigate, because this
type of phenomenon can be sprung by an emotional child or
adult. In studying this type of ghost it appears that this
can be a form of psychokinetic energies from an individual
that does not know that they are doing this. psychokinesis
or telekinesis is the ability to move objects with the mind.
Make sure you ask the person that owns the property if there
are any children or even adults for that matter if they are
going through any emotional problems
