Ghost Stories by EloraM23 2011/01/03 12:41
Most people know of at least one ghost story that has been told as being true within their family. Many of us even remember living near a haunted house when we were young. As children we tend to believe these ghost stories are real, but by the time we grow up we often consider ghosts to be as mythical as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the Great Pumpkin.
Humans have always been both fascinated and afraid of the unknown. Even during ancient times people experienced encounters with the paranormal and shared their stories with others.

Residual Hauntings:
The most prevalent type of haunting, by far, is referred to as a residual haunting. In this type of haunting the ghostly energy goes through a cycle of actions over and over again. It's like a video clip that repeats itself in a loop. Oftentimes this plays out at a specific time as though it were following a schedule. Most commonly the scene played out will be that of a tragic event, such as a death. This type of haunting is more like a psychic impression of energy than an actual haunting by a presence or entity. Many true stories seem to describe this type of occurrence.

Intelligent Haunting:
The second classification of haunting is known as the Classic or Intelligent Haunting. In an Intelligent Haunting the spirit, or ghost, demonstrates an intelligence and an awareness of its surroundings. These ghosts have been known to communicate with humans and to interact with their environment. In this type of haunting it is common for objects to be moved. There have been reports of ghosts making noises, such as rapping or banging on walls, slamming doors, or making footsteps. Ghosts have been known to move things around, or even to hide objects. They may even turn light switches on and off. This type of ghost will often manifest the personality of someone who has died. Smells and odors that were commonly present with the person when they were still living, such as tobacco, perfume, or flowers, often occur in these hauntings.

I seen ghosts most of my life, when i was younger, they'd look just like themselves, sum can talk with you too, but mostly seen ghosts like orbs or light images, dark shadowy images, one hot summer day, i was cleaning my house, mopiing my kitchen floor, i was in the livingroom, near my fireplace, mopping away, i can see into my kitchen, a giant black image moved slowly across the room, when it passed my big kitchen window, the whole room when dark, like a tinted car window,it seemed to go towards my kitchen door, than my daughter looks thru my kitchen window, i didn't want to tell her because she doesn't believe in ghosts -mop2-
