Intelligent Haunt: This is “who” we get EVPs and distorted photo images and orbs from, sometimes in motion.  There are many reasons why these hauntings take place and they  can be benevolent or mischievous depending on their reason they are haunting a place:








Intelligent Haunts Characteristics:
















Residual Haunt: This is when a scene from the past seems imprinted on a specific place and, when witnessed, seems to play like an impression of an event that is imprinted in time, a movie that’s been looped, the same activity/same time each time it happens.  The energies involved in this kind of a haunt rarely interact with their surroundings or with living people because the spirit itself is not even there, its only the energy from the event/emotion.

Inhuman Haunt:  This is what is more commonly referred to as a “demon.”  Is usually very hostile, initially is similar to an intelligent haunt in that it has a perceived intelligence and can interact with the living.  There has to be an invitation for this type of energy/entity to invade a household or possess a person, even if that invitation is inadvertent (through Ouija board, seances, magic ceremonies, undisciplined psychic experimentation, habitually conversing with the unseen/imaginary friends).

Poltergeists:
There are different theories as to what these energies are and where they come from.  They usually last a few months, sometimes years.  Moving residences doesn’t help, it follows which suggests its not connected to an environment but instead is connected to a person.  Begins suddenly, ends suddenly and is the rarest of hauntings.
