Ghosts and Haunts - What Do Paranormal Researchers Fully realize
If you can read this post, it means that the registration process was successful and that you can start blogging
The attempt to distinguish one sort of haunting from these guys an incredibly difficult task for probably the most seasoned Paranormal Investigator. After many years of research, You can be assured of one thing; ghosts do not willfully emerge from hiding to go to around over coffee. Ought to be fact, the typical specter appears to avoid confrontations with the living, tending to show themselves only if, where and how they want. Despite my greatest efforts, I have yet to define any clear approach to enticing them from hiding and into our presence. I'm not sure when they avoid interaction with us by their own choosing, their abilities or even because of the order of the higher being. Regardless, the down sides we face when trying to know the various kinds of ghosts and haunts we run into, is certainly not when compared with how difficult it is to talk about them within an intelligent way. Before we are able to have an honest conversation about ghosts, or other topic for that matter, we should attempt to define what it's we are referring to and also the following is my make an effort to do just that. Please remember that all of which you're going to read are my own thoughts and feelings about the matter. After all, when confronted with the supernatural there aren't any true facts - only a lot of speculation.
So, what exactly is a ghost? For me, a ghost may be the surviving, yet transformed energy of a human being after their physical body dies.
Let's talk briefly concerning the energy contained within the human body. Everything about us (both physiologically and psychologically) is possible, and controlled by, the electrical signals running throughout the body. This electricity is generated inside the atoms that we're built. Without them, we're able to not possibly exist. Consider also Einstein's formula: E=MC2, which basically states that energy can modify, but never dies. This fact is also based on the Laws of Thermodynamics, which states that energy is definitely conserved; it can't be created nor destroyed. Essentially, energy are only able to be converted in one form into another.

Considering that the scientific community generally accepts these laws and theories to be factual, then your next obvious question is: What goes on to any or all that electricity after our physical body ceases to exist? I believe that our energy detaches in the flesh but somehow is constantly on the thrive. This might sound outrageous to some, but there is a mountain of evidence collected by a large number of Paranormal Investigators from all around the world to support the concept that our energy survives beyond our human body. Evidence also implies that our energy is capable of doing retaining our entire personality, including all of our thoughts, memories and desires. In some cases we even see evidence that we keep our temperament and sense of humor!
Now that you understand how I feel concerning the survival in our soul beyond our physical human body, allow me discuss what I believe happens as we die, and also some of the numerous ways we seem capable of getting together with the physical world after our departure.
Reincarnation: In some cases, I believe our energy is reincarnated and can begin life anew within the body of another human. How this takes place, I don't know, but I do believe it happens. I additionally think that at our rebirth, we lose the conscious memories in our past. Where's my evidence to support such a notion? Well, evidence is anecdotal at best, but there have been stories of Deja vu going back countless generations. Deja vu is the feeling that one has already seen or experienced a current situation, although the exact circumstances of the earlier encounter are uncertain and perhaps even dreamt or imagined. In some cases, the experience is so distinct that the person may enter into a building they've never been and yet somehow know exactly where things are inside the house. Hypnotists have also been recognized to take people to the past; to date in fact the person believes that she or he has gone into a previous life; they call this, "Past Life Regression Hypnosis." Now, I know this isn't a lot of evidence to aid my belief in reincarnation, but like I said before, this is my estimation, and that's all I must offer.
Heaven: I additionally think that once you have learned what's required individuals here on the planet, you will be invited to "follow the sunshine," and go straight to Heaven. What's Heaven? I don't know, I've not seen it. But, in line with the testimony of countess patients which have experienced the life span after death phenomenon; I believe it is a place where your energy becomes a area of the eternal energy field that transcends time and space. At that time, you are no more held down by the restraints of your physical body and you are free to live again without pain or stress. Everything is beautiful, things are love and everything is eternal. Sounds too good to be real, right? Well, we are only human after all and also to accept anything as perfect as what I just described goes against everything we've discovered life. Still, I truly have confidence in "Heaven" and I believe that it's just as awesome because the Bible describes.
Hell: I guess that if one believes in Heaven, then we must also accept that there is a Hell. Hell is perfect for the nastiest of bad people, and everything I have ever read about the place is horrific and ugly. I hope I never get the chance to experience it. The funny thing is the fact that the majority of the evidence we've recorded shows that life after death is usually enjoyable. We might decide to believe that all of the truly evil people around the globe have already transcended to Hell, but the evidence suggests otherwise.
Haunts: If you do not visit Heaven or Hell, and you've got not reincarnated, then what? Well, at that point you may be inside a place where you stand stuck on the planet for some time. You may be awaiting your judgment, or there's just a long line at checkout and you don't wish to get in it yet. While waiting for the right time, you might make an effort to connect to natural world, and if your interaction is successful, then you will essentially cause a location being considered haunted. There are many kinds of haunts to go over, and several "titles" allotted to them, however, allow me to guarantee that no matter what you read elsewhere; none people can claim any one of this as factual. It is precisely the interpretations of our knowledge coupled with our own personal experiences described the easiest way we know how.
Intelligent Haunting: The fact that whenever a person dies, their spirit leaves the human body as well as for reasons unknown, remains earthbound. There are many theories about why the disembodied soul of the dead person doesn't leave, (unfinished business, doesn't know that he or she is dead, etc.) but who really knows? There are a few things we concentrate on once we attempt to find if the haunting is the consequence of a discarnate Soul: the ghost is going to be interactive, intelligent, and he or she may attempt to contact us.
Residual: This is actually the belief that an event is so intense that it leaves an impact in this area, (like the way an audio is recorded to the the surface of a magnetic tape inside a tape recorder). Also known as an "Impression on the Location" or even the "Stone Tape Theory," the replaying from the impression is triggered when any types of the weather is met, (daily, weekly, yearly, each time it rains, anniversaries, full-moon, etc.). Sometimes, witnesses have described these types of haunts as including everything from vehicles, buildings, machinery, etc. There are a few things we look for before we'll classify a haunting as residual: the ghost isn't interactive, and seems oblivious to our presence to begin, and that he or she will not attempt to contact us.
Poltergeist: Poltergeist is really a German word that mixes the verb "Poltern" meaning to make noise, rumble or knock, and the word "Geist" indicating a Ghost or Spirit. Therefore, a Poltergeist is a noisy Ghost, rumbling Spirit, or any of the like. In the Paranormal world, we make reference to a Poltergeist like a spirit or ghost that is in a position to connect to our physical world by moving objects, making noises, throwing things, etc. So, to ensure that us to give a ghost the title of "Poltergeist" during a haunting investigation, we would expect the ghost to be noisy and potentially disruptive.

Most paranormal phenomena is classified using among those 3 kinds of ghosts and haunts, however, there are more possibilities to consider.
Time Slip: The "time slip" is very similar to the residual haunting in that the ghost doesn't interact with us. However, the idea suggests that the person isn't visiting a "recording" by itself, but rather they are actually looking through a "window in time", and seeing the event as it is unfolding previously. I can not disprove the "time slip", however i can't say that I have ever seen any evidence to aid it either. Therefore, I will remain highly skeptical of this theory.
Hallucination: Drugs, alcohol, extreme fatigue and physical or mental illness can all cause hallucinations in people. When a person experiences a hallucination, he or she becomes fully engulfed in the images, odors and/or sounds as though these were truly happening. This is why we as researchers of the paranormal should always question people about their mental and physical well-being, as well as any use of drugs and/or alcohol just before performing any paranormal investigation.
Imagination: Some people, (especially ghost hunters at times) wish to experience a haunting so intensely they interpret every unusual sound, smell or visual anomaly they come across to be supernatural. Unlike hallucinations, the individual doesn't actually see, smell or hear anything paranormal; they just jump to false conclusions and quite often don't even make an effort to debunk the experience.
Colliding Dimensions: This is way over my head, and the heads of almost everyone I know in the field of paranormal research, but it's at least worth brief mention. Basically, the colliding dimensions theory shows that ghosts are entities from another dimension which has collided with this own. The concept is that our dimension is encompassed by other dimensions. Occasionally, a ripple within the universe causes two dimensions to collide with one another and for that brief period, we could see people, "on another side".
Thought Projection: The idea projection theory suggests that some apparitions may be the consequence of another being, living or dead, actually projecting their thoughts psychically in to the minds of others. It makes sense very much like a hallucination; however, several people bear witness to it at the same time. Personally, I have no evidence, nor have I seen any credible evidence to substantiate such a notion.
Astral Projection: Also termed as an out-of-body experience, many people believe that they are capable, either deliberately or spontaneously, to astral project themselves from their own body. I'm one of these; having experienced things i believe were out-of-body events twice as a young boy. I think about stories of people seeing their family member in your own home, only to find out later the individual they saw was still being overseas fighting in a war. The question I ask is; did that person actually begin to see the astral body from the man, or maybe it was simply a few an over active imagination or hallucination? I think any of the three are possible, but with no ability to test this extremely rare occurrence, we might never fully realize.
Angelic or Demonic: You can easily get wrapped up in the religious arguments which are certain to arise when individuals discuss angels and demons. In its simplest form, most people associate a good spirit as angelic, where-as the demonic spirit represents evil. The Hebrew Bible, the brand new Testament and the Quran, all refer to Angels as being the messengers of God. Catholic theology refers to demons to be such as the devil, and often refers to them as fallen-angels or evil spirits.
Having discussed all these kinds of ghosts and haunts, we've not even begun to cover things like shadow people, Doppelganger, and so on. The list goes on and on, with no matter how much time I commit to this article, there will always be those people who insist that I overlooked the chance to talk about some extremely important kinds of ghosts and/or haunts. Frankly, I simply don't see the point in spending any more time giving credence to that with which we can't offer any evidence for.
I suppose my point is this; many of the paranormal investigations we undergo result in us finding perfectly natural explanations for the phenomenon our clients were experiencing. There are occasions, however, where there is no logical explanation for the phenomena that's occurring and we end up getting no option except to think about the location haunted. Once we reveal that, then we can speak to see if evidence we collected supports that the ghost was attempting to connect to us. If so, then we will describe it as being an intelligent haunting through the disembodied soul of a deceased person. If there is no clear interaction noted, only then do we will consider it residual, and lastly, as we experience kinetic activity at the site along with unexplained noises, then we will contemplate it the result of a poltergeist type haunting.
For the time being, that's concerning the best we can do. No matter how enough time we dedicate to the concept of parapsychology and paranormal research, we must understand that we do not have the technology, gadgets or wisdom we need to allow us to decipher why a spirit is haunting any particular place. To suggest otherwise would be ridiculous. Perhaps, the day can come when we do, but until that time, the best we can hope for is to do our research, conduct our investigations, review our evidence and employ our knowledge and common sense to provide you with good "opinions" on the subject.
