A residual haunting is a playback of a past event. Residual hauntings can be a recording of past stressful, traumatic, and even positive events. There aren’t spirits involved just “recordings” of the event. This type of haunting is not dangerous, and can be witnessed without fear.

Signs of Residual Activity

Signs similar to an “intellectual haunting”

No interactions between spirit and the living

Doors opening and closing

Sounds (footsteps, breathing, other odd repetitive sounds)

Same actions over and over

Poltergeist Activity

A poltergeist haunting or “noisy ghost” are commonly linked to any violent or destructive activity in a haunting. Theories behind a poltergeist haunting are that the spirits are connected with a “human agent”. The “agent” will commonly be teenage females going through puberty, and that are troubled emotionally. It is unknown why this energy seems to manifest in pubescent females.

Signs of Poltergeist Activity

Objects that move about their own

Knocking and tapping noises, sounds with no visible cause

Lights turning off and on

Fires

Demonic Activity

A demon is an entity that has never been a living being, or human. Their main purpose it to cause chaos and havoc. Demons have no basis of time and will hang around for long periods. They will try to break the person down so they can possess them. It is essential that a blessing of the purest kind be performed on the person or home, consult your clergyman, priest, or Demonologist. Demons are very strong and capable of causing harm. Demonic activity is the rarest kind of haunting.

Signs of Demonic Activity

People be grabbed, punched, kicked, scratched, choked and even thrown

Sudden smell of sulfur, rotten meat or flesh

Growling

Intelligent Activity

In this case the spirit or entity is connected to the site or a person. The ghost is the personality of a person who once lived and who has stayed behind in our world instead of passing over. This can happen in the case of murder, traumatic events or unfinished business, they often linger because of the emotions that tie them to earth. Sometimes there are negative spirits that have kept the qualities they had when they were living. The annoyance factor with this type of haunting can be very high.

Signs of Intelligent Activity

Slamming, opening or unlocking doors and windows

Strange sounds and voices

Cold chills

Strong presence

Shadow People or Creatures

This type of haunting has no real explanation, they are a different form of ghost. Shadow people have no discernible mouth, nose or facial expressions. They appear to moving on an invisible track from one place to another. They have been known to stare at the floor, have no human features, and wear no clothes.

Signs of Shadow Activity

Shapeless dark masses seen from the peripheral vision

Move between walls

Feeling of dreadSimilar Posts:

• Why Won’t the Ghosts Go Away

First we need to understand the theories behind ghost and why they remain and why some of them are never seen or heard from again.

The theories cover a wide range of topics and any paranormal investigator can make their theory fit the reasonable explanation they have come up with.

For those of us that believe in ghosts and spirits, we understand that most theories revolve around the fact that the ghost may not realize they have passed and may have un-finished business on earth.

I know it sounds crazy, a ghost having unfinished business but in a lot of theories about ghosts this is one of the main reasons ghosts will hang around.

For example, at some locations that have had a lot of violent crimes (murder) ghost are more likely to remain in that location.

Most of the theories revolved around the person were killed before it was time to pass on to the afterlife. In some cases the ghost may or may not even realize they are now a ghost. Then of course if the ghost doesn’t realize they are deceased then it is likely they will remain on earth.

Some people have posted theories of ghost tend to hang out in an area where there are a lot of different emotions and energies. For example, when I first started ghost hunting I never realized how many public schools have reported paranormal activity. As I kept researching the activities at the schools on theory I kept running across was that there are so many students in a school every school day and with those students comes an over whelming amount of energy. With the energy will also come every possible emotion you could think of all combined into one location. Since the theories states ghosts need energy, what better place to get all the energy a ghost needed.

Another location that seemed to have a lot of activity has been hotel/motels. Once again this theory all points back to the number of people there in a days’ time and all of energy and different emotional that all the people bring with them when they check in.

Now also with the hotel/motel hauntings, I have also read a lot of the hotels have been built on haunted grounds. The ghost may have nothing to do with the hotel at all but because this was the location of their death before the hotel was built, the ghost has decided to hang out and watch you check in. Hopefully you can check out.

Of course then we have a lot of other locations that report paranormal activity and this include battle fields. Not a lot of explanation should be needed for a battle field but just in case a lot of people all died before their time and now hang out at the place of their death.

One of the most common places for ghost to hang out has been reported to be…

Are you ready for this answer?

In their own home

Home hauntings are one of the most common places people report “paranormal activity”. Now of course a lot of cases of paranormal activity can be explained away by an over active imagination. For example hear scratching in the night, one case this turned out to be rats in the walls but still to this day the owners believe their house is haunted.

Why would ghost hang out at home? Well first I think we need to think about ghost and who they were in life. Where is the one place most people are most comfortable at? You got it, at home. So with this theory it would be a common ghost hang out.

Some theories also revolve around the ghost having unfinished business like I said before. For example if a person was murdered they may want to stay until the business is completed. Let’s they were in the process of having a baby, the ghost my hang out until the baby is born. Once that unfinished business is complete, they may feel free to leave.

Some theories revolve around ghost will remain as they were when they were human. Let’s say the husband was the protector of the family, he might hang out to make sure nothing happens to his family.

We have all heard reports of “I started to remodel and all of this activity started”. It is believed that ghost when they decide to stay home; they want to make sure nothing happens to their home. Just like when they were human.

One location that I investigated we had reported of remodeling taking place and one of the people working heard her name called and when she answered no one was there. She looked around everywhere and no one. Finally she started talking back to the ghost and the next thing she heard as he was getting ready to leave was looking good. The ghosts were happy with the cleanup and remodeling.

So to answer your question as to why ghost won’t go away, the answer is one we will likely never know for sure until we ourselves become a ghost.

There are many theories and most all revert back to the unfinished business or the ghost does not even realize they have died.

One thing for sure, regardless of why they remain on earth may never be known for a fact, but it sure makes for some interesting paranormal investigations.

• A Ghost Hunting License? Excuse Me Sir, Is That an Unlicensed Nuclear Accelerator on Your Back?
• Reasons Why People Should Not Be Afraid of Ghosts

That’s an excellent question and it’s not a short answer. The answer to this question is very complex and covers a lot of different theories and trying to find answers about the unknown. The unknown, as most any paranormal investigator will tell you most everything about the dead and the ghost, spirits and the paranormal are still unknown even though there are many theories that cover a lot of the aspects of the paranormal. Granted some prove these theories provide the evidence needed to prove ghost and spirits roam the earth among humans and some claim the theories are only “make believe” to try to prove that ghosts exist.

The paranormal field is probably one of the most criticized and one field that has people believing everything from no ghosts exists, to the demons can possess you and everything in between. I find it funny that you hear the non-believers screaming to the top of their voice that there is no such thing as ghost and then the people involved in paranormal investigations or ghost hunting screaming at the top of their voice that they have proof that “paranormal activity” exist.

One thing for sure is regardless of what you believe right now about ghost, spirits and the paranormal is the only way we will ever know for a fact about ghost, spirits and the paranormal is to become a ghost ourselves.

Now back to the answer of why ghost hunting or paranormal investigations. To start with this is a field that is still wide open for research and development of new techniques to ghost hunt. This field is exciting and can be boring at some times, but the times there are unexplained events taking place it makes it all worthwhile. The times of activity also makes my desires grow to find more answers about what is happening and why it is happening.

It’s also very exciting at times and to give you an example I was at one location and there was a large group of investigators present and we were walking down a hallway and we got to a door to a room and as we passed by the door, I had an overwhelming feeling of sadness and fear coming from that room. There was one investigator that refused to even stop by that entire area because of the feeling. The room was completely empty and yet this feeling was so strong, it made me want to run, but I stepped away from the door and everything returned to normal. A few of us stood there for a few minutes talking about that feeling and we went back to the door one at a time and the feeling returned once again to all of us that went back to the door. We also encountered this feeling every time we entered and left the location.

Now at this particular investigation we split up into teams and rotated in and out of the location and every single time we went in or out of the location we all had this horrible feeling of sadness and fear. We later learned that a lady had committed suicide in that very room. How can anyone come up with a reasonable explanation of this feeling of fear and sadness? And not just by one person but by many people in our group.

Now granted at this location the list of unexplained activity was rather long and one would think it would definitely prove paranormal activity but we still have some that did not believe regardless of what happened. For example my digital recorder was brand new and I had only used it to test it before the investigation. I went and bought a pack of new batteries and they were all completely charged and yet every single time I stepped into the location, my batteries would completely drain. How can anyone explain this activity? We have some that just said its bad batteries, but they were checked before use and were completely charged and not to mention I replaced those batteries several times throughout the night. While outside of the location, my recorder worked just fine and recorded everything being said and the second I would step back into the location, the batteries were dead again. Once again how could anyone come up with a reasonable explanation of our battery drainage and note that this happened to several pieces of equipment throughout the night and not just my recorder.

Another unexplained event that took place was we were in a room were a young child resided and a lot of females had reported different feelings in that room and once in a while a male would have something happen. There were a couple people inside the room and I was standing just outside the door and all of the sudden it felt like I was getting a shot in my lower leg. It was a sharp pain and I stepped away from the door to check my leg and the pain went away and there was nothing there, no marks, no redness, nothing at all. My leg looked fine. I returned to the door way to check on how the rest of the team was doing and “bam” the pain hit again and I said it feels like I’m getting a shot in my leg. I stepped away from the door again and once again, they pain went away and my leg looked fine. Later we learned that the little boy that was a patient at this location used to get shots in the leg and he would often times do things to make the males leave the room. Once again I must ask how any person can come up with a reasonable explanation for these events happening.

Now I could go on and one with more details from different investigations but I think you get my point of wanting to find the answers about the afterlife and what happens once we become a ghost, spirit or part of the paranormal world. I want to know the answers to the question, why. Why some activity takes place only once in a while and other activities seems to happen on a regular basis or continuously. Why, is the first part of my answer as to why I ghost hunt.

Of course there are numerous theories all around the paranormal world and for example like the needle in the leg feeling, it has been rumored that the little boy only liked females in his room and would do whatever it took to keep the males out. It was reported that he was like that in life so it would make sense that he would be like that in death.

That’s another theory I want to know more about and a lot of people have theorized that ghost and spirits usually act the same as when they were alive. So if they were nice and playful, they would be nice and playful in death and as a ghost or spirit. The same stands true if the person was in a bad mood or grouchy all the time in life then that person would be in a bad mood or grouchy in death. These theories I think would stand true and they make sense. But of course some people also theorize that some ghost or spirits just do not want people in their home or the location they have decided to claim as home. So regardless of the mood in life, it may be a simple threat from a ghost or spirit to leave their place of abode. Then of course some theories state that something the ghost and spirits are just playful and trying to let you know that they are present and you are in their home or place of abode. So these theories all make sense but it still leaves questions unanswered and it all goes back to why? Why do some spirits make sounds, move items have an odor and why do some ghosts and spirits do nothing except sit back and watch the activity taking place in their place of abode.

Then of course we have many theories about ghost and spirits in general like the different type of ghost and hauntings. They can range from an interactive encounter all the way to a demonic possession. Demons along open up a whole new set of questions and an entire subject for extensive research and why most all paranormal investigators never get involved with the demonic realm.

So this to answer the question why ghost, this should help you understand my answer about why. This is only part one of the answer and I will write more about the answer why in my next article. So check my post often and I will get more about “why” posted.

Millions of people would answer yes to this question and to the possibility of something prancing out at them in the still darkness, but is this ghost representation accurate?

We have all heard the many stories of different encounters like the cold breeze that we feel across our neck when there are no windows opened in the house, or ghost-like apparitions either in photos or in person. Other episodes may include Ouija Board experiences when there is movement and spelling without any help on its own from possible ghosts, rocking chairs that rock with no one in them, along with numerous other spiritual encounters.

If these millions of stories are true and ghosts do exist, should we fear them?

Reasons Why People Should Not Fear Ghosts

In thousands of movies, ghosts and spirits cause harm to people and animals. They have incredible force and powers to control and attack individuals, but is this truth or fiction?

Thousands of investigations and case studies of the paranormal show the exact opposite to what popular movies and books want us to believe.

The following are five reasons why people should not be afraid of ghosts.

1. Paranormal investigations indicate that ghosts do not harm people.
2. Individuals do not change personalities after death.
3. Spirits of the dead are not vengeful.
4. Most ghost story telling consists of helpful encounters, such as when a ghost prevents someone from falling.
5. There has never been any documentation to show that ghosts hurt humans.

Any type of evil manifestations that has surfaced from research noting demonic activities, have been linked not to ghosts or spirits, but to possible poltergeist activity. When people are attacked or objects are thrown by an unexplained force, it is usually believed to be that of a poltergeist such as the unconscious working of an actual human being who is not at peace.

We all have a spiritual being; does this mean then that we are all ghosts?

If you heard unexpected noises in the house, perhaps in an upstairs bedroom when no one else is supposed to be at home, would you not be reassured to find nothing or no one there, rather than some stranger?

People may well fear many humans rather than ghosts, as there is much more evidence of people being hurtful and dangerous than ghosts.

Perhaps people are afraid of what ghosts represent, and are afraid of the unknown.

The ghost is usually well known to the person – either a relative or a friend – and might predict some imminent news, like a birth or a death. Such a message is relayed by the ghost actually speaking to the recipient, or by some other method such as making some kind of noise.

You might think that all this is solid proof that such ghosts really do exist, but the chance of such dreams or predictions really happening is actually much higher than you might think. For instance, many is the time that somebody has imagined a happy event – like a birth or an engagement – and if that person subsequently dreams of this event, only to be told the next day that you are about to become an uncle or aunt, does that necessarily make you feel that you have some kind of inherent psychic power? It could be attributed to just sheer coincidence. The chances could be quite high of any one person in a large town having a predictive dream on a particular day.

But there is a difference here in regard to interactive ghosts: they always appear to the witness while he or she is fully awake. This begs the question: why does the spirit choose to appear only to one particular person?

If you take the example of deathbed messages – which have been reported many times throughout history – you could say that these are the work of an interactive ghost. In such circumstances, the apparition appears only at the time of trauma, and not some time afterwards.

There have also been many cases, over the years, of out-of-the-body experiences. During such incidents, the person concerned has found their ‘spirit’ floating up towards the ceiling and looking down on their apparently lifeless body. The hospital files are full of such reports of patients who have “temporarily died.” These experiences usually occur when the person is in a traumatic condition, such as being close to death. When the person’s spirit returns to their body, they often describe, in stunningly accurate detail, everything that was happening around them – even things taking place in rooms next door.

The phantom hitchhiker is another type of interactive ghost. These entities usually haunt quiet country roads, and are often seen by motorists as they drive along late at night. Resurrection Mary, who is said to haunt the lonely country lanes near Chicago, is the most famous roadside ghost of all. Drivers have reported that when they have stopped the car to avoid hitting the figure, it then mysteriously vanishes. On other occasions, when the motorist has stopped to give the figure a lift, it suddenly disappears completely from out of the car. These spectral hitchhikers are therefore a classic example of interactive ghosts, as they respond to the observer in quite a physical, realistic way.

• 3 Tips for Getting a Ghost to Communicate With You

Before we get into the tips that I have promised you, there are a few things that you will need to get before any type of communication is possible. These things are as follows: a notebook or notepad, a pen or a pencil, a digital recorder, an e.m.f (electromagnetic field) meter, a flashlight, and a camera. Nothing fancy, any camera will do. Now that you have everything gathered you will need to turn off all light sources and get to the active area where current activity is happening and do these 3 things:

1. Do some EVP’s

An EVP which stands for (electronic voice phenomena) is done by using your digital recorder and asking questions and trying to get intelligent responses or noises to be recorded. It is said that ghosts communicate through the white noise on the recorder. There are many documented responses recorded that support this theory. You will need to be absolutely silent other than asking questions and listen to your recordings repeatedly to pick out these spirit voices as background noise or wind can be mistaken as an EVP. It is also a good idea to pause at least 20 seconds between questions. Be sure to write down your findings in your notebook. An EVP session should usually last at least 45 minutes to an hour then move on to the next step:

2. Take some EMF readings

EMF or electromagnetic field readings will also give you concrete evidence that there is a spirit present. A ghost is said to give off electromagnetic energy when present and as long as your meter is away from appliances such as microwaves then when a spirit manifests in your area the EMF meter will produce a reading. A sudden spike in your meter or alarm sounding indicates strong electromagnetic energy presence which is generally what you are trying to communicate with. Feel free to keep rolling on your digital recorder and snap some random pictures during this period as well because the more lines of open communication the better.

3. Do the flashlight “trick”

This is a neat little tip for getting a ghost to communicate with you that I just learned recently. Mind you, during each tip that I have shared with you, the area should be completely dark. The trick is to unscrew the top of the flashlight just enough so that if touched it will turn on. Place it on the ground in front of you. You may have to keep messing with the top after you sit it down to insure that it will come on if touched. Ask the ghost or spirit if they are present to touch the flashlight. This may take awhile but if a ghost touches it, you will definitely know because it will turn on. Just imagine what it is like when it turns on! As I said before, I learned this recently and witnessed it for myself with my own eyes.

For best results, don’t do this alone because it is just too hard to keep everything in order by yourself. You can organize a paranormal group of your own or join an existing one to make sure that all bases are covered. This is definitely not for beginners either because you can get into something that you cannot handle. Do your research and use my 3 tips for getting a ghost to communicate with you and you are well on your way to achieving your goal. Good luck!

However, for those that have reported witnessing ghosts or paranormal entities, there are a few commonalities that stand out. These ghostly archetypes will now be reviewed, with details, and possible thoughts about their origins.

Probably one of the more common sightings reported is known as the ‘orb’. These ghastly balls of white light usually manifest only on film, though sometimes are potent enough to be seen with the naked eye. They are never reported to be particularly malevolent, and manifest commonly in cemeteries. However, one of the more confusing aspects of these types of sightings, is the fact that common dust or light artifacts can be bent in such a manner as to create an orb. As a result, most sightings are dismissed.

Another common sighting, is the simple shadow. Said to be a shadow, yet given form, and its own will, these objects can take the form of a man, or can simply be an inexplicable decrease or increase in ambient light. However, much like the orbs, there are quite a few natural, and thus not paranormal, explanations for shadow apparitions. As a result, they get about as much respect as the orbs do.

Whenever a paranormal activity happens, without an actual manifestation, it becomes known as a poltergeist. For example, if a door opens by itself, or a light mysterious turns on. Any number of happenings can be classified as such. Poltergeists are probably some of the more credible reports in the community, simply because without the evident paranormal explanation, you still have a happening which is quite paranormal. Even hoaxing these happenings would require some amount of skill.

The last type of ghostly visage is just that, a full or partial body apparition. In this, the ghost appears as it did in life, with all the accoutrement of its time and place. Depending upon the clarity of the evidence, and how it was collected, determines how it is generally received by the public. Often, first-hand accounts are dismissed, while video-graphic evidence is held in high regard, even if it can be hoaxed reliably.

These are some of the more common types of ghost sightings. However, it is important to remember that the list is not exhaustive, and that most investigators put a lot of credit into psychic sensors as well. Good luck ghost hunting!

There has been spiking demand for ghost hunter’s equipment as people join the paranormal field with gusto. Use of modern equipment and kits is likely to increase the chances of viewing and recording substantial evidence of ghosts. So what exactly must you carry along to enable you to record proof of ghosts?

Video Camera

A video camera is essential in recording paranormal activity. You can set up cameras strategically in a room before you begin ghost hunting. The cameras can be set up on tripod stands or mounted on walls. Digital cameras are more preferable due to their large memory capacity. They are also easier to copy and move images to a PC’s for analysis with ghost hunting software.

Sound Recording Device

A sound recoding device is indispensable to ghost hunters. It helps in detecting of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). Such noises are normally indicative of the presence of ghosts, apparitions or other bizarre elements. Professional ghost hunters begin recording the EVP before attempting to establish contact with the source. Analogue recorders require background noise to work well. Digital recorders are the best as they do not need extra adjustment once you have switched them on.

Later on, you can cross reference the EVP sounds on your recorder with the video recordings taken at that exact time. This is easily achievable using ghost hunting software which can readily be purchased online. Cross referencing helps in reviewing real time happenings and will increase your chances of getting concrete evidence.

Note Taking

Note taking is a mandatory task for ghost hunters. Hence a Dictaphone is usually part of ghost hunter’s equipment. You must record details of your experience from start to finish. This will include the location of the hunt, time you reached there, time you began setting up your gadgets and the entire experience during the hunt. Accuracy will come in handy when you are comparing the sounds and videos with your personal experience.

Portable Computer

An easy to carry Lap top or PDA device can be handy when you are researching on potential haunted houses or towns. It will be helpful in data analysis and compilation of the information gathered. Of course the PC must have dedicated ghost hunting software to make operations easier.

Overall, it is possible to detect paranormal entities, you just need to have the right equipment for the job. Without this equipment you will not be taken seriously within the ghost hunting community as you will have no proof of your findings.

Ghosts are more likely to be found in older buildings. Older buildings tend to have a “history”.

Why do ghosts exist? It could be a lingering spirit that did not want to move on, or in many cases a tragic or violent event somehow triggered and event where the spirit is stuck. No one really knows for sure.

Ghosts come in many forms spirits, entities, plasmas, poltergeists, malevolent entities, shadow people, orbs, and mist just to name a few and are sometimes captures on film or digital cameras. Many hauntings are residual in nature as if a recorder is playing over and over and there is no interaction between the observer or the ghost. If there is interactions you know have an intelligent haunting.

In some cases during ghost hunting an EVP is captured or recorded onto a cassette tape or digital recorder. An EVP is Electronic Voice Phenomenon. These are considered to be voices from the other side and sometimes appear to be interacting or residual.

How do you know that a place may be haunted? There are many signs. Here are just a few tips that a haunting may be in progress.

• Doors slamming or chairs or furniture moving.
• Objects move or disappear to show up somewhere or personal items are very common.
• Phantom odors or sweet or putrid odors with no obvious or natural cause.
• Objects moving out of the corner of your eye or dark shadows, mists or orbs.
• Feeling of being watched or followed.
• Unexplained cold spots where there are no drafts.
• Pets acting strange such as your dog watching an activity in a room or barking into the dark.
• Whispering or your name called out and your dog notices when no one else is around.
• Footsteps or knocking especially at specific or random times.
• Feeling of being touched or pushed.
• Devices or lights randomly come on or turn off with no explanation.
• Batteries drain quickly on camcorders or voice recorders. Spirits sometimes need energy to manifest.

Many other strange events could occur but that is a list of the more common ones that ghost hunters will be investigating.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, you might be interested in ghost hunting. A ghost hunt involves investigation of an area for paranormal activity. This can be done through looking for ghost sightings as well as through using paranormal investigation equipment to detect something inexplicable.

Not only do ghost hunts look for ghosts but in some cases they study the historical information that surrounds an area. Going on a guided ghost hunting tour could feed a history buff’s appetite for information about an area. Very often the areas with the highest numbers of ghost sightings or paranormal activity reports are areas with a rich history of tragedy or death so areas that are sights of murders or catastrophes are often targeted by ghost hunting aficionados.

Some ghost hunters believe that just about every building with a history has the potential to be haunted if you do something to rouse the spirits that lurk within it. Some believe that some may be dormant and some may be more active. Believe it or not, this is becoming a rather popular industry. There are now television shows dedicated to paranormal investigations as well as tour companies that arrange for guided tours with paranormal investigation equipment and even filming.

Whether you are a believer of the paranormal or are a skeptic, you might be interested in taking part in a ghost hunt in a particular area. Not all hunt participants will report something being seen or experienced but part of the fun is in the exploration.

If you want to know if ghost hunting is something you might explore, check out footage online of past ghost hunts. Many people will post videos and articles about their experiences. You can also find professionally guided ghost hunts and companies that do this often have websites that are dedicated to education and promotion of upcoming events.

Whether you are a believer or a skeptic or willing to keep an open mind for entertainment’s sake, it’s a good idea to do some research about an area before embarking on a paranormal investigation as well as to arrange to go with a group of friends rather than on your own.
