"Residual Haunting"
A Residual Haunting is exactly like a video playback of a historic or tragic event. The
event unfolds in front of you and there is no interaction between you and the ghost.
They seem to not notice your presence and go through the motions of the event that
happened in the past. This event has been imprinted on the area or the building and is
played back when the conditions are just right. The ghosts you see in this type are not
earthbound spirits. They are just "Visual Playbacks" of past events. Since everything is
made up of energy, even thoughts and emotions, some of the energy from an event
can be recorded by certain materials such as rocks and metals. Remember that video
and audio tape is just oxidized (rust) film that enables the images and sounds to "stick"
to it. It is then played back when something triggers it. Exactly what is the trigger is still
unknown but there have been many experiments being conducted in the recent years
to find out what they may be. This type of haunting might be frightening when you see
it, but you are in no danger so enjoy the experience.
"Spirits of The Deceased"
The second type of a haunting is an interactive spirit that manifests in many ways. You
may see a full bodied apparition or partial bodied apparition. More frequently than that,
you may hear voice, music, footsteps, etc. You may also smell odors which sources
cannot be found (i.e cigarette smoke when no one smokes). You may also see orbs,
mists, and other light effects. You might feel touches from unseen hands, cold spots,
and other physical contact. This ghost is the spirit of a deceased human.
An earthbound spirit is a human spirit that has not passed over yet. They have not
gone on to the next level, the light,and heaven, whatever you choose to call it. They
remain behind, here on earth, and they account for many ghost sightings and haunted
places. The reasons vary for this. Some are complicated and unique to that spirit and
others are simple to understand and relate to. Here are a few of the most common
reasons a spirit remains earthbound. Some Spirits remain near or at the site of their
death especially if it was sudden and unexpected. They remain confused and don't
know or accept that they have died. These spirits remain in the area and try to make
contact with anyone that passes by that is sensitive to spirits. This type of spirit can be
found almost anywhere a death has occurred.
Sometimes a spirit realizes that it is dead and that life continues beyond that. They
don't go to the light for some reasons such as the fear that their existence will end,
fear of the unknown, fear of going to hell or being judged for whatever they may have
done in their past. These spirits are bound here because of their own fears.
Other spirits stay behind to take care of unfinished business. It might be to make sure
their loved ones are okay or to pass on one final message. If the deed they are
attempting to finish is complicated, they will often contact the living to assist them. In
many cases the living are unsure of what the spirit wants and it adds to the length the
spirit spends here. Almost anything that a spirit feels compelled to do before it moves
on can make it remain here until it feels comfortable with how they have left things.
Guilt can also be a reason for a spirit being stuck here. They may feel like they have
left the family or loved ones too soon. This is also the main reason why suicide victims
and other spirits whose death was caused by their own actions remain behind. They
feel guilty over taking their own life.
The living can also hold a spirit here. By not letting go of them, they can be bound
here by our love and unable or unwilling to move on until their loved ones can come to
terms with the loss. This happens when people go beyond the normal grieving process
and become obsessed with the deceased person. They feel that they left things
unsaid, undone, etc., and feel guilty over it. This keeps the spirit from moving on
simply because it does not want us to feel this way or be that upset.
These human spirits are the same as they were in life, so they can be good or bad, but
not really evil. Think of all the people you know, probably a bit of good and bad, some
worse then others. This type can cause some scary situations but you must think
about the situation they are in, you don't see them but they see you. They will try to
get your attention anyway they can. People will contact and say that the lights are
going on and off, items are moving by themselves and they are hearing strange
noises. Often this is a terrifying event for the people involved but for the most part
these are just attention-getters and nothing more. These human spirits account for the
majority of the hauntings we encounter and are relatively harmless. Yes, there are
extreme cases and sometimes they can cause dangerous situations, but this is not the
norm.
"Non Human Spirits"
This type of "ghost" is not a rare one, but they do not interact with the living in the
same frequency or at least as noticeably as human spirits do. They are non-human
spirits, commonly known as demons, angels,thought forms and the list goes on. This
type is dangerous and can do you harm. These non-human spirits often disguise
themselves as friendly and helpful human spirits to gain your trust. They often appear
in cases dealing with Ouija boards, black magic, and satanic worship.
"Poltergeists"
The word comes from the German term poltern- "to knock" and geist- "spirit". This
phenomenon has been researched extensively for years. There are a few different
theories on what poltergeists are. Here is the most popular and researched theory in
its most simple form. A typical poltergeist haunting seems to always consist of noises,
such as loud knocking, and objects moving on their own. The activity tends to be on
the violent side. There can also be voices, smells and apparitions in addition to other
symptoms. Usually these events are witnessed by numerous people in the home
including visitors. Things usually start slow with small noises and small objects moving
and then can progress to things like large furniture flying around the room and
full-bodied apparitions appearing. The exact events differ from case to case as well as
the progression and severity. Normally there is one person who seems more affected
then others and is always present in the home when theses events occur. When that
person is removed from the home the events normally cease. This person is usually a
preteen female whose changing hormone levels and the stress of that age combine
and finally release subconsciously in a way that causes the poltergeist activity. The
person is causing the entire phenomenon with their subconscious mind and is not
aware that they are the cause. When they are relieved of the stress, sometimes by
moving from the home, the problems stop. If the stress or underlying causes continue,
the haunting seems to follow them.
Poltergeists are not often easily discernible from other types of spirit hauntings. The
symptoms are often very similar. An on-site investigation and extensive research are
often necessary to uncover the hidden existence of this type of phenomenon.

Strange phenomena, ghost, paranormal activity, and haunting are just mere words
used to describe the unexplained, even though they all vary by definition within certain
degrees. Not only is there different types of hauntings, but also for very different
reasons. Below, we will discuss some of these strange phenomena and why they
happen.
