| Types Of Ghosts |
There are several types of ghosts out there and it's
important to know them all for the purpose of advanced
knowledge & research. Basically, dividing certain types of
phenomena into certain groups is for identification
purposes. Below you will find below a brief explanation of
each type of ghostly phenomena along with it's basic
characteristics. It's important to understand that the
definitions below are the present thoughts on the types
listed and may be subject to change as new information
becomes available.
Ectoplasm, Ecto-mist, vapor, ghostly mist
Appearance & Characteristics: Cloudy vaporous mist
This term was originally used to describe the substance that
oozed from spirit mediums during a séance. Now it is
associated and referred to as a mist or fog, and it usually
displays a swirl effect within a vaporous cloud. It normally
appears several feet off the ground and can linger or travel
quickly at will. It's usual colors are gray or white but has also
been seen and photographed in several other colors.
Ecto-mist has been caught on both video & all types of
cameras. It's important to note that a camera can
inadvertently create this effect artificially in cold weather by
a person exhaling to close to the lens when taking the
picture. The exhaled breath looks similar to ectoplasm but
without the swirls. There are several strange characteristics
associated with ectoplasm. It is warm to the touch and has a
wax like composition with weight and mass. It is sometimes a
gelatinous rubbery substance that disappears suddenly
when exposed to bright light.
Locations spotted:
All locations but most generally spotted outdoors and most
particularly at cemeteries, battlefields & historical sites.
Present Theories:
Believed by many to be the soul or spirit of those that have
passed. Ecto-mist may be the result of a collapsed
electromagnetic cascade shower or perhaps even plasma.
Globes, Orbs, balls of Light
Appearance & Characteristics:
Orbs are the most photographed anomalies captured on
film by ghost hunters. They most often show up as
transparent or translucent balls of light hovering above the
ground. Another feature is when they are captured on film
they have a lingering trail. This trail indicates they were
traveling at a fairly fast rate of speed at the time of the
flash, which further indicates it's authenticity. However, 95%
of photographed orbs are inadvertently created by the
camera's flash refracting off a airborne particle or by
weather conditions such as rain or snow. Here is an article
that describes how to tell if an orb is a false positive.
Orbs have also been seen on video hovering in the same
position for short periods of time but most often are caught
traveling erratically through the air in a rather care free
pattern.
Locations spotted:
They have been seen in every location imaginable.
Temperature changes and different climates do not seem to
affect them. They are most often seen outdoors and
especially seem to be drawn to historic surroundings.
Present Theories:
Believed by many to be the soul or spirit of those that have
passed on from this life. Some theories claim that a orb is
the basic form of all ghostly phenomena, a electromagnetic
reminat of consciousnes. They are known to emit small
electro-magnetic fields. There are other theories about orbs
as well. One speculates that orbs are energy and are either
a byproduct of ghosts or a completely different phenomena
all together.
Apparitions, disembodied spirit
Appearance & Characteristics:
Catching an apparition on film is what every ghost hunter
aspires to but seldom, if ever sees. They show up in forms
ranging from a transparent to solid human form and wear
the clothing of their period. Some may appear faint and
disfigured as in being incomplete. There are four classes of
apparations;
Class 1: Partials. Apparations that show up incompletely,
having no legs for example.
Class 2: Invisible. These are invisible to the naked eye, but
will show up on film when photographed
Class 3: Visible. These are visible to the naked eye. Usually
transparent in nature.
Class 4: Solids. Appear very solid. Witnesses commonly
mistake them for real people, until they vanish before their
eyes.
In addition, there are four subtypes to each of these classes;
Type 1: Historical Apparations. They typically haunt older
buildings and appear in solid forms acting natural.
Type 2: Recurring Apparations. ghosts that occur in regular
cycles over a period of time.
Type 3: Modern Apparations. The spirits of present day
ghosts. they are relatively new, looking and sounding like
modern people.
Type 4: Crisis and Family Aparations.
Locations spotted:
They are most often reported being seen in older homes,
hotels, theaters and cemeteries.
Speculations:
It's unsure why they are able to show up on these rare
occasions. Your opinions on this will be most helpful. Some
comments will be posted. It should be noted that visiting
relatives from the spirit world could also be considered an
apparition.
Shadow ghosts, dark entities
Appearance & Characteristics:
These ghosts usually appear as shadows. They look a bit
like Ecto-mist but with form and are normally reported to be
two feet in length or longer and tend to travel at a height of
two to ten feet. In photographs it's easy to confuse them
with natural shadows so be careful. They are usually
sneaky and evasive. When they are spotted it's usually out
of the corner of your eye or as they are darting through a
wall. They are often spotted in mirrors.
Locations spotted:
Most often spotted in homes. Have also been seen
outdoors at a distance.
Present Theories:
I guess the general consensus would be that they are
ghosts in one of their forms. Some would say that they are
demonic spirits but that doesn't seem to be the case.
