These are the five most common types of ghosts/spirits:
- The Interactive personality
The most common type of ghost is that of a deceased person; someone you know, a family member, or even a historical figure. They can be either friendly, or not so much. They like to show themselves to people in a variety of ways; they can become visible, make noise, and they can speak. It is said that this type of ghost retains its personality and can feel emotion.
If you happen to see a loved one, it may be because they feel you want to see them, or need to see them.
- The Ectoplasm or Ecto-mist
This type is seen as a mist or fog that seems like it is swirling. These types of encounters have been captured on many videos and photographs. They can be white, black, or even grey in color. Often they appear, linger, and then move away rather quickly. But sometimes they can appear this way before becoming a full-bodied apparition.
They have been witnessed in the outdoors, in graveyards, battlefields, and historical sites.
- The Poltergeist
This is one of the most common types that most of us have heard by name. Poltergeist actually means "noisy ghost" because they are known for knocking things over, making noise, and manipulating the environment. Although many of us have heard of poltergeists, it is actually one of the rarest and most terrifying types of haunting. Some of the things that are known to happen that make this type so terrifying is; loud knocking sounds, lights turning on and off, doors slamming open and shut, and even mysterious fires.
They are known to be mostly harmless, but there are times where they have been known to become very dangerous.
- Orbs
This could possibly be the most photographed type of phenomena. They appear as translucent or transparent balls of light hovering over the ground. It's believed that they are the spirit of humans or even animals that are travelling around. The circle shape makes it easier for them to move around, it is said that this is the state they are in before they become full-bodied apparitions.
You will be amazed at how fast they can move.
- Funnel Ghosts
They are mostly spotted in houses and historic buildings. They are often associated with cold spots. They usually take the form of a swirling funnel; hence their name. It is believed that they are loved ones returning to visit, or former residents of the home or building.
They can appear as a wisp of light or a swirling spiral of light, and so are often caught on camera.
Which of these 5 types have you seen before?
I personally have witness the interactive ghost, orbs, and the funnel ghost. I hope that I never have to experience an interaction with a poltergeist.
