It is believed that when the body dies, that is all
that dies. Law of Conservation-Defined that energy can
neither be created or destroyed. It can only be
transformed from one to another. All living things
contain energy and this energy is released into the environment. It
is believed that the energy still retains the organism's
traits and personality, so nothing ever changes except
it is no longer in the body. It is free. The human eye
may not be able to see this energy but film (photo,
video), audio recordings and other types of media can
usually pick up this energy.
The common misconception is that ghosts always appear
as full manifestations, been photographed by ghost
hunters. Spirit energy is generally categorized as orbs,
ecto/mist, vortices, and apparitions.
TYPES OF SPIRITS:
1)Residual- Residual Hauntings are
“recordings” of an event in time that are left at
location, that are played back at a later time. You may
hear residual hauntings on tape recordings or see them
endless loops of the same location. A couple ways these
impressions are left on location is:
a) Traumatic Moment in time leaves an indelible
impression on a building or area.
Example: Battlefields
b) By someone doing an action over and over in an
area, they can leave impressions on location also.
Example: When people hearing footsteps walking down the
hallways yet no one is there.
c) People see apparitions walking up/down staircases.
d) A spirit being seen at the same location and doing the same things every
time.
2)Anniversary- Only appear on an
anniversary of some significance like a death,
birthday, etc.
3)Intelligent- These ghost have
intelligence. These spirits are interactive, sometimes
verging into territory of the poltergeist. They may try
and attract your attention by creating odors. Moving
things, making noises such as footsteps, slamming doors,
or moving and hiding objects.
4) Poltergeist- “Noisy Spirits” Seems
to be between the categories of ghost and PSI (the term
applied to unusual abilities of human origin such as ESP
and psychokenesis and investigating “exceptional human
experiences” such as out of body and apparitional
experiences) As the name suggests, they are noisy, often
throwing objects around, pinching and prodding residents
and generally disrupting the residents. They may not be
“mean or evil” just active, wanting to let people know
they are there. Most cases often center on a teenager or
female presence in the home. This would seem to indicate
that the activities are in some way attributed to the
teenager or focus person. Hauntings are usually
associated with places of strong emotions. Adolescence
is one of the most stressful and emotional times.
Another theory is becoming more and more used to explain
poltergeist activity is that the focus person in the
household may be a natural medium or suffering from
repressed emotions that are somehow outwardly, meaning
the person themself, may be actually causing these
things to happen without even knowing it.Read

the different stages of poltergeist activity.
Orbs
These are the most commonly photographed anomalies
captured. They are usually seen as “balls of light”
hovering over the ground. If you look inside them you
can usually see a swirling pattern moving around.
Ecto/Mist
This form of spirit energy appears either as
long white swirls or as a vapor or cloud like
apparition.
Vortex/Vortices
This is a swirling column of white (usually vertical)
light mistaken for a camera strap. Always remember to
either remove your camera strap or make sure it’s not in
the way of the camera lens. The column may be of any color,
but the most common one is white. Often a blue-white
color may be visible associated with portions of the
column being transparent.
Apparitions
Some psychics see them on a regular basis. But as for
the rest of us it is a very rare occurrence. Catching an
apparition on film is what every ghost hunter aspires to
but seldom, if ever seen. They show up in a transparent
human form and usually wear the clothing of their time
period. You might also note that they normally appear
faint and disfigured or as being incomplete.
