A haunting is a supernatural occurrence that involves a ghostly apparition, ghost-like noises, or supernatural odors. These occurrences can be caused by many different factors, such as a location’s history, natural energy or the presence of a demon.
There are several different types of haunting, including residual, intelligent, poltergeists, and ectoplasmic. Residual hauntings are often described as a ghostly apparition that does not interact with the people at the site. They usually appear as a moving picture or just an image, but will vanish when approached. Intelligent hauntings are more involved and are described as a spirit that interacts with the witnesses. They may speak, move things around, or even make a full apparition appear in the room. This type of haunting is more common in places that have experienced a lot of activity.
Poltergeists are the most recognizable and frightening haunting. These are the spirits that have a twisted sense of humor and like to scare people. They are known to cause noises, bangs, and furniture to shake on their own. They are also known to create the appearance of ectoplasm, the slimy substance that is seen in most movies.
An intelligent haunting is typically the result of a cursed object or an apparition that has been attached to a living person. This type of haunting can be very difficult to get rid of and should always be handled by professionals. However, there are a few things that can be done to keep these spirits at bay. One is to keep the house well-lit. Another is to use sage or palo santo to smudge and cleanse the house regularly. Finally, it is important to keep a log of the activity. This will allow for a proper investigation to take place and will help the ghosts to realize they are not welcome.
