The second type of haunting is an interactive spirit that manifests in
many ways. You may see a full bodied or partial bodied apparition. More
frequently than that, you may here voices, music, footsteps, etc. You
may also smell odors which sources cannot be found (i.e. pipe tobacco
when no one smokes). You may also see orbs, mists and other light
effects. You may feel touches, cold spots, and other light physical
contact. This ghost is the spirit of a deceased human being. They may
be stuck here (earthbound) for reasons such as tragic sudden death,
fear of moving on, guilt or unfinished business. They also could be
here visiting loved ones or to warn or pass along a message. These
human spirits are the same as they were in life, so they may be good or
bad, but not really evil. Think of all the people you know, probably a
bit of good and bad, some worse than others. This type can cause some
scary situations but you must think about the situation they are in,
you don't see them but they see you. They will try to get your
attention any way they can. like the lights going on and off, items
moving, noises, etc. For the most part these are just attention getters
and nothing more. There are a few more mischievous human spirits that
will do these things to bother you and scare you on purpose. They may
just be a prankster or maybe they want you to leave the old home or not
to change something in the home. They have all the same motivations you
and I would have. These human spirits account for a majority of the
haunting's we encounter and are relatively harmless. Yes, there are
extreme cases and sometimes they can cause dangerous situations, but
this is not the norm and is rare. |
