Ghost - A ghost is the “residual” energy of a person, animal or even an inanimate object. The haunting of a ghost can best be described as a recording in time being played over again and again. There is no way to communicate with a ghost, as there is no remaining life-force left. Ghost hauntings will over time lose energy and eventually disappear entirely. Although it is possible to “recharge” a haunting under the right circumstances. Personal sentimental items of the passed person brought into the area can recharge a haunting. Also, aura similarities, séances or ouija board usage can cause a ghost recording to recharge.
Spirits - A spirit is the actual conscious presence or soul of a person or persons who have remained in the material world after their physical body has died. Unlike a ghost, a spirit and the living are able to communicate with one another. Why are spirits here? There are countless number of reasons for spirits to remain earth bound. Four main reasons a soul/spirit remains behind after death. 1.) The spirit does not realize his or her own death. 2.) The spirit has unfinished business in the material world. 3.) The spirit wishes to say goodbye to loved ones before moving onto the afterlife. 4.) Lastly there is the need to offer guidance to a loved one.
Poltergeists - (German for “Noisy Ghost”) At first glance, a poltergeist may appear similar to ghosts and spirits, but upon closer examinations, the differences far outweigh the similarities. Where as ghosts and spirits tend to haunt an area or place, the activity of a poltergeist is usually concentrated around one person. Activities start off as mild, but as it gains power and energy it can quickly turn wild and even very dangerous. There are generally five levels of activities that lead to a full blown poltergeist haunting. First Level - The feeling of being watched, unusual animal activities, odd or offensive odors, cold spots and or strange noises. Second Level - More of the same as the first level, but more direct. Whispers, moans, giggles, moving shadows, visible clouds, marks on the floor or walls, objects moving or thrown. Third Level - Electrical appliances turning on/off, unseen hands grabbing or touching people, writing on the walls, hearing voices, full apparitions/dark figures, strange phone calls, moving furniture. Fourth Level - Voices speaking in foul language or ordering tones, flying objects, violently shaking furniture, unseen forces pushing or shaking people, levitation-physical attacks. Fifth Level - At this level the poltergeist is at its highest energy point and should be considered very dangerous. Hair pulling, biting, slapping, punching, human/object possession, threatening voices, being held down, sexual assaults, blood on the walls, floors, ceiling, knives and sharp objects flying with force, fires or heavy objects falling over with the intent to kill.
Entities:
Angelic Entities - Serve mainly as messengers or protectors. Angels are most often encountered during a near death experience, or at a time of extreme stress for a person.
Demonic Entities - Not very common, but usually encountered only after an individual has invited one into their lives in one fashion or another. One typical scene is the use of a ouija board or a séance by persons not trained properly, as in a slumber party with young girls or teenagers. A demon entity can come to this realm to wreak major havoc. Once an entity of this type arrives, it is very difficult to send it back to its original place of existence.
