What are Ghosts?
The following is a list of types of ghosts or things that appear to be ghostly activity. This list has been established by me through many years and many cases.
Parasitic Entity
This name might be new to a lot of people. Parasites can be anything that feeds off of other life forms, right? Well, that is what this type of ghost does. Who is affected by them? Generally the ones that are usually affected by this type are going through something traumatic or stressful in their lives. Things that affect them in such a way that they become more negative. Parasitic Entities cling to the ones in this weakened condition. I have also seen many Parasitic Entity cases stem from the use of the Ouija board. It usually haunts the user with problems like I mentioned above. That is why I do not recommend that people use the board. Its like putting out a welcome mat for these things.
Poltergeist
Poltergeists are the king of Parasitic Entities. They operate pretty much like I mention above, but to the extreme. They utilize and absorb power sources within the home. Therefore they affect electrical appliances and electrical bills. They usually tend to be a very noisy ghost. That is what the name means. Banging, growling and loud pops are some of the things that are experienced. The popping usually starts or ends the activity. The popping is the result of the intense electromagnetic field arriving and leaving instantly. It is like the snap you get when you touch a door knob and you get a shock. However, it is a lot louder. Followed by this event there is usually a horrible smell.
Our Own Minds
I do not have one doubt in my mind about the fact that we can cause activities that can be confused as ghosts. Sometimes this activity is misdiagnosed as a Poltergeist. The most common events that we can cause are moving objects and banging. The person that is usually creating this is usually the most surprised about the event. They have no idea that they are doing it. How does it happen then? I believe our brains have this ability, however, we have been trained to believe and act in the way that society deems rational. To help prove this, when we are asleep 21 percent of our brain is working on an average. When we are awake 6 percent of our brain is working on an average. In my opinion it is because we have learned to shut off or limit ourselves. When we are asleep, our brain waves spread out a lot more and stimulate parts of our brain we do not usually use. With all that said, I will explain how we can create events that can be confused as ghost activity. Usually the person creating it is going through a lot of stress, trauma, or events that cause chemical changes within the brain. Young ladies that are going to have or have just started their menstrual cycles are a very common one for this. During this time the females chemical level may fluctuate and different parts of their brain can be stimulated. The same holds true for people suffering from deep depression or under heightened stress levels. Anyway, I am sure you get the picture. I could go on all day.
Hysteria
This type of hysteria that I am going to explain usually happens to inexperienced people who put themselves in a paranormal situation. It is also referred to as Demonopathic Hysteria. The paranormal is very interesting and many are curious about it. Do not go and venture into a haunted location without being educated, grounded, mature and without an experienced investigator by your side. I have seen many people who thought they could handle it, but upon witnessing something, they become traumatized. These people will literally think something followed them home and are tormenting them. They will let their imagination run wild and will witness, feel and hear things that nobody else can. They can sometime project their hysteria on other family members. In some cases this can invite those Parasitic Entities I mention above.
The One Who Sticks Around
This is the ghost that sticks around because of an attachment to a dwelling, place or object. The case of a ghost sticking around because of unfinished business is rare, but it does happen. It does appear that this happens a lot, but I believe that to be empathy of the witness. These cases are usually witnessed by one person at a time. I believe they are witnessing something, but its not a ghost. Empathy means the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner.
Visitation Apparitions
This one is pretty self explanatory. Sometimes when we lose loved ones they come back to say goodbye. Sometimes they stop in when we are in need of comfort. It is also common when newborns are brought into families. The loved one stops by to see the new edition. Also, weddings and funerals are another situation when this can happen.
Time Displacements
A lot of investigators think that the events of time slips are recordings on objects or structures. I think that explanation is silly and very wrong. If we could record events with any object then we would not need camcorders or cameras, right. I am not trying to sound sarcastic. I think people using that theory lack any other explanation as a result of inexperience and an inability to admit the need for further education. They usually call their theory, residual haunts. Some Native American tribes have had the best explanation for hundreds of years. Even though Einstein usually gets the credit for introducing the Time Displacement theory, it was really the Native Americans that can be documented the farthest back introducing this theory. I am going to dedicate a whole other page about this under TrueGhost.Com, so I will not go to far into this for the time being. Basically, there are a few reasons for this to happen. One of them being a dramatic occurrence that causes ripples in space time. Think of it as throwing a rock in the water. Ripples will move outward, one after the other. Well in the event of time slips, those waves will sometimes cross over our place in space time, allowing us to witness something that happened at another time. I also believe that there are certain elements in our time that aid in the event. I have proved myself right about this time and time again. Unfortunately, I can not disclose my findings as of yet. Its very hush hush. Anyway stay tuned for the Time Displacement page, coming soon.
I have more to post on this page.
To Be Continued.
