Types Of Hauntings
Due to a large amount of e-mails asking "what is the different types of hauntings?" We figured that We would post some information, so that it may help with these questions.
A Residual haunting:
Is thought by some to be a replayed haunting in which no intelligent ghost, spirit, or other entity is directly involved. Much like a video tape, residual hauntings are playbacks of auditory, visual, olfactory, and other sensory phenomenon which are attributed to a traumatic event, life-altering event, or a common event of a person or place, like an echo of past events.
Alleged residual hauntings often center on moments of intense emotion: someone's beheading, a great battle, a murder, or even a celebration. Paranormal researchers theorize that residual hauntings are the result of discharged personal energy of a person or group of people being imprinted on the surrounding environment, most commonly at or just after death.
One of the first to promulgate the hypothesis of residual haunting was Thomas Charles Lethbridge in books such as Ghost and Ghoul, written in 1961.[1] The subject was explored in Peter Sasdy's 1972 television play The Stone Tape, written by Nigel Kneale. The popularity of the programme has led to residual haunting becoming known colloquially as the Stone Tape theory.
Portal Hauntings:
Portals are said to be doorways to another world or dimension in which entities travel through. It's speculated that portals are not limited to one location, region or limited to sacred ground. Typically places that experience a wide array of different types of anomalous activity such as glowing balls of light, odd creatures, strange shapes, or unexplained mists or fog, are suspected to have a portal in which these energies are traveling back and forth.
Intelligent Haunting:
It is commonly believed that an intelligent haunting is actually the spirit of
An intelligent Haunting is someone that has passed away and there soul or spirit is not at peace. It is possible that this energy leaves your body upon death and is known as your soul. While your lifeless body is buried your soul "lives" on and in some cases is heard from again in the form of a spirit haunting. Many times the soul or spirit is seen in a shapeless mist or orb. On rare occasions the spirit takes on a more human look and is sometimes hard to distinguish from a living person. This type of haunting is called an apparition.
There are several tell-tale signs to look for to determine if the haunting is by an intelligent spirit. The spirit may attempt to make contact with you buy moving physical objects near you. On rare occasions you may actually see an apparition or mist like form. Most often you will feel a cold chill or experience slamming doors and windows and objects that seemingly move on their own.
The spirit may haunt a particular site or may be more centered on an individual or group of people. Many intelligent spirits appear to center their activities around the presence of young children. This may be because children tend to have a more open mind and tend not to dismiss anything that does not fit into a nice neat little pattern. The intelligent haunting is often the result of a tragic or unexpected death. Of course this is just one possible theory and there are others.
Some people believe that a spirit is the soul of a deceased person who had some kind of unfinished business here on earth or who simply refuses to acknowledge the fact that they have died. This type of intelligent spirit is often heard weeping or crying out loud. This makes for a sad and melancholy atmosphere of the haunted location.
Critics ask why a ghost never speaks or materializes when requested to appear. It could be that the spirit is unable to control when they are seen. Or maybe, they choose not to show themselves for some other reason unknown to us.
