So are there different types of hauntings you ask? Undoubtedly the answer is yes. There are four clearly
defined and distinct types of haunts. In no particular order but as follows they are intelligent haunts,
poltergeists, residual haunts, and inhuman spirits.
Intelligent haunts are just what the title implies, they are intelligent. They are self aware as much as you and
I, as well as having an excellent perception of their earthly surroundings. This type of spirit can interact
with the physical world enough to actually move small objects. Many times they will attempt to make contact
with the living, EVP recordings of the interactive variety showcase this quite well.
Poltergeists are also known to be smart entities therefore they share many characteristics of intelligent
haunts. However these spirits in many occasions will attach themselves to, and feed off of the energy of a
particular person. Many times being teenagers in volatile emotional states. They are mischievous and/or
violent in nature. The poltergeist's claim to fame is their unique ability to stunningly move objects in a much
more demonstrative fashion than your average ghost. The reason these spirits are able to manifest such
strong powers of levitation over objects probably is directly related to the fact that they have learned to
manipulate the energy of humans to their benefit.
In residual haunts, there is no actual spirit, as one might call it, present. These are simply images and whole
events from times past that replay themselves over and over. They are thought by many to be caused by
trapped psychokinetic energy; possibly becoming that way due to tragic circumstances, but for reasons still
not fully understood. Residual haunts do not seem to notice any other person, thing, or event going on
around them. If new walls are built in a particular residual area, the ghost will walk directly through them.
Unfortunately since no consciousness remains, these hauntings can never be encouraged to leave, only
understood and learned to live with.
Inhuman spirits are referred to by many as demons. Titles aside, the point is that they are bad news. These
entities were never humans, and may feed off of the negative energies of people they encounter. They are
often very powerful and evil and demonstrate abilities above and beyond that of any human spirit. We do
feel the term demon is sometimes too limiting. Not all of these presences fit this dogmatic mold of the word
demon.
