Ghostly GlossaryAstral plane…a level of existence separate from and in some sense higher than the physical world according to certain philosophies and religions
Cold spots…It is thought by some to be an indication of a presence drawing energy from its environment in order to manifest Haunting…the manifestation of a presence attached to a specific person or location. An energy that does not last indefinitely. The worst thing you can do on a haunting is shout “holy shit, do you see that”! Orb…a sphere thought to be a spirit energy in varying states like in transition, about to manifest or having recently manifested Orb catcher…supernatural activity in and around a location can become so out of balance with the natural order, the universe will attempt to restore balance by stepping in to assist the paranormal energies (orbs) cross over. A larger three dimensional sphere with illuminated tentacles stretching out from its middle. Very rare to see Globule… a ball of light visible to the naked eye Vortex…an anomaly that shows up in still photographs appearing as a translucent white tube or gunnel-shaped mass. Some researchers believe vortices may be portals to the spirit realm Full Body Apparition, Residual haunting… a scene from the past that continues to be played out over and over again. The participants often seem unaware of their living observers as most of us are unaware of them. Most common, no harm and probably started with a short violent event. Slightly translucent, wispy entity seen in the same place, wearing the same clothes, acting out the same routines Materialization…can be sudden or gradual, resulting in something indistinct or seemingly quite solid Poltergeist…entity that manifests itself through noises, rapping’s, the moving of objects and creation of disorder, temperature drops, lights, radios, TV’s. Rarely seen, It sees the living and can try to communicate, wants to be noticed and doesn't want to leave. Phantom smell…entity attempting to express itself usually cigarettes, perfume, flowers etc. Angels appear to be souls that tried passionately to do something good in their lives and they remain eternally trying to deliver the urgent message Inhuman entity/sub human spirit…a spirit intent on causing harm to living beings also known as a negative entity or a demonic entity Incubus…a male demon who lies on top of women as they sleep in order to have sexual intercourse with them Religious provocation…use of prayer, holy water and or religious artifacts to make an inhuman entity show itself and leave a location Matrixing…mentally filling in the blanks from sensory input (visual, auditory, olfactory or tactile senses) Intelligent haunting is when it is aware of its surroundings and is capable of interacting with them, move about. Can cross over much as clairvoyants and mediums can to their side Sensitive, a medium or clairvoyant can see or feel people, objects and events in the realm of the paranormal |
SOME SIDE NOTES I'VE PICKED UP FROM MY HAUNTED SAVANNAH TOURS
Dealing with spirits…speak clearly like they were living, give them time to answer, only then ask them another question
Explain to them what they are intending to do is gone and they can move on to a better place. Tell them to go in peace. You may have to repeat it several times but never from a place of fear or anxiety. Spirits can’t hurt you, just the living Let them know you’re not afraid. It they’re scary or malicious tell them they are not alive and they have to go. If they're welcome you may let them know they are (but have to behave themselves). One philosophy is that they gain energy from you being scared. If you are nervous or apprehensive it’s like giving an entity which might be present something/energy to use against you 3:00-3:30 AM has the most common time for paranormal activity Make note under what circumstances/time events occur. Maybe something traumatic happened then and instead of waiting for it to occur talk to the spirit at that time They'll use the house like it used to be. Doors that used to be there or things will get wet where a kitchen pump once was People who are more sensitive to spirits might be giving them the attention (energy) they want/crave and spirits gravitates to them or the spirit itself may be relating to the energy of a particular person Psychics are born with a gift but most loose it as they get older and start to rely on their other senses. Never discount what children see Positive/negative energy attracts like kind. Be positive in all thoughts and deeds and you'll be more likely to be surrounded by positive spirits Religion does seem to come into play here. I'm not sure why. Exorcisms, crosses on or in places that appear to have the problems and gospel music seem to have an impact. An author I was reading said he wore a cross around his neck because he visited a lot of haunted places to keep in spirits from following him home but never said anything about being a Christian. A strong belief of the spirit I think could be the reason. Days gone by the church was the only explanation for a daily world of the explainable There are a lot of opinions based on a ton of very familiar experiences. What the true facts are will never be known, at least not in your time here on earth |
