INTELLIGENT HAUNTING OR GHOST
The haunting that is considered to be “Intelligent” can
be experienced in any location, at any time. This is
especially true when it comes to areas that are known to
experience unexplained phenomenon. This type of haunting
is said to have some level of “consciousness” about it.
This basically means that they are able to interact with
individuals on the physical plane, like you and I. Many
professional ghost hunters may refer to these types of
spirits as “smart”, or “smart ghosts”. They may even call
them “real ghosts”. If you experience this type of
haunting, the following may be observed and/or felt: It
is very likely to experience an apparition. This may
appear as a full body, half body, a mist, or something
similar. It is possible to hear voices, or whispers.Many
have actually been physically touched by an intelligent
haunting. Objects that are near may be moved, knocked
over, opened, closed, and similar other events may be
experienced. It is not uncommon to smell certain scents –
this can be virtually any type of scent. You may smell a
floral scent, or even a very strong odor that is
displeasing.
RESIDUAL HAUNTING OR GHOST
The next type of haunting is the “Residual”. While this
type of haunting may appear to be very “real”, it does
not have a conscious level like the Intelligent haunting
does. As a matter of fact, these hauntings typically are
created by the “energy” of a certain location. These
types of hauntings are often most relevant in areas where
something highly emotional or traumatic occurred. It is
believed that this is actually the most common of all
hauntings that may be experienced. Characteristics of
this type of haunting includes: • If this type of
haunting occurs, there is generally no interaction
between it and the people who are present. As a matter of
fact, these types of hauntings typically do not even seem
to be aware that the living is present. • Certain sounds,
smells, and sights may be experienced with this type of
haunting. • It is common to notice that the same events,
sights, sounds, and smells may be experienced in a
repetitive manner. Eventually, the haunting may simply go
away on its own because it loses the energy that helped
to create it with the passage of time.
POLTERGEIST HAUNTING OR GHOST
The next type of haunting is referred to as a
“Poltergeist”. Many ghost hunters refer to this type of
haunting as “noisy spirits”. This is an exceptionally
frightening type of haunting. Poltergeists can actually
control the environment that they frequent. Individuals
who experience this type of unexplained phenomenon often
experience the following characteristics: • Poltergeists
have been known to physically interact and even attack
individuals that are living. • It is common to see things
being moved, shaken, and/or thrown.
