A to Z of Ghost Hunting P: Plasma Plasmoid

February 8th, 2010

from from www.ghost-sighting.co.uk/

Plasma/Plasmoid: Moving orbs caught during the time of camera exposure. Orbs have also been filmed moving, on video. In photos, they appear as streaking light or as an orb with a tail showing the path of motion. These are also known as “supercharged orbs” in motion.

A to Z of Ghost Hunting R: residual haunting

February 7th, 2010

Residual Haunting. When a spirit is seen doing the same thing over and over, many believe this to be simply an energy imprint or residual haunting. In other words, a strong, traumatic event that occurred in some other time, repeating itself over and over. Usually these spirits do not interact with those who see them. My opinion, is that this could simply be a state of mind I call “hell;” being trapped by one’s own mind in darkness or lack of understanding. Sort of reliving of an event perhaps through fear, guilt or condemnation until that spirit finds truth and freedom

A to Z Ghost Hunting P: Poltergeist

February 6th, 2010

Poltergeists or poltergeist hauntings may be the most misunderstood type of haunting, as some believe that poltergeist hauntings are not even a haunting at all. The German word, “poltergeist,” means “noisy ghost.” The best defining mark of a poltergeist is if there is any manipulation of the physical environment such as the movement of objects, physical attack, spontaneous combustions, etc, then this is a poltergeist-type of haunting.

A common thread between different poltergeist hauntings has strongly indicated that they are caused by psychokinesis (the ability to move things by power of the mind alone). The question becomes whether the psychokinesis is from the people who live within (or visit) the place where the activity takes place, or if it is actually occurring from an unseen troubled spirit, called a ghost. The reason for this is because typically poltergeist hauntings center around an adolescent girl (although young males and even adults have exhibited the same phenomena) in the household. Typically, this central person is usually emotionally disturbed
in some fashion, and is somehow the root cause of objects moving, knocking sounds (and other noises), the turning on and off of lights and electrical appliances, etc. What is interesting is that the person whom the activity centers around, is unaware that they are the one who is bringing about the disturbance. But in true poltergeist hauntings, none of the activity will continue after the person is removed from the environment, as they are not there to create it or influence an unseen entity. However, it has been reported that activity can return later if the “right” person visits or lives in a notably poltergeist-haunted place. This would lend one to believe that it requires a combined psychic energy to manifest such terrible hauntings.

A to Z Ghost Hunting S: Shadow People

February 5th, 2010

from from www.ghost-sighting.co.uk/
Shadow People. Dark shadows in ghost pictures usually appear as a black smudge or fog over an image. Some certainly could be caused by a finger or something else over the camera lens, but many are not. There have been many interesting observations of shadow ghosts (dark shadows or shadow people). They are usually seen out of
the corner of one’s eye, hence this is why some call them shadow people – they often observe others. Also, dark shadows have actually been recorded playing with one another. This has led some ghost investigators to believe they can be children, as well as adults. Some have seen shadow ghosts 6 feet tall with broad
shoulders, for example. Shadow ghosts can see and react with people. We have theorized that perhaps their darkness may be just an indicator of their lack of progression into the light and unto
their life review…call it “in darkness,” or “lack of understanding of truth” – unaware of where they are, having unfinished business, or afraid to move on.

The A to Z of Ghost Hunting T: Thermometer

February 4th, 2010

from from www.ghost-sighting.co.uk/
Thermometer / Thermal Scanner. Thermometers are an instrument that are also very useful. There are two types used regularly: digital thermometers and infrared non-contact thermometers. When used on an investigation this will aid as a detection system for spirit presence. Rapid temperature drops of 10 degrees or more could indicate spirit activity. I recommend using the infrared non-contact thermometers because they react in less than a second to temperature drops and can scan a large area quickly.

As mentioned, good thermometer can detect changes in room temperature quickly. But some still use the old-fashioned mercury-filled, red-line, thermometers. Electronic thermometers should be used, but in high paranormal, haunting activity where electromagnetic forces have been reported they may fail right when you need them. So bring an old mercury thermometer with you as back up, and you should be o.k. during your ghost investigation.

A to Z of Ghost Hunting v: vortex

February 3rd, 2010

from from www.ghost-sighting.co.uk/

Vortex: A long streak across a photo that may be caused by a very high-speeding “orb;” some believe vortices are a gateway between both realms (physical and spirit realms). They are usually white in color and may appear as a funnel-shape. Camera straps, human hair, a tree branch, etc., right in front of the camera lens during exposure have been notoriously mistaken for a vortex. It is important to make sure anything that may interfere with your photo is removed from within the front of the camera.

Chillingham Castle, Alnwick, Northumberland, England

February 2nd, 2010

from www.ghost-sighting.co.uk/

Chillingham is famous for its moaning and whimpering Blue Boy. His bones and some scraps of blue clothing were discovered behind a wall where his cries have been heard, suggesting he may have been immured there. In the meantime, the rustle of a dress on the turret stairs heralds the passage of the restless spirit of Lady Mary Berkeley as she searches in vain for her husband (he ran off with her sister). Then of course there’s the white lady in the pantry, the voices in the chapel etc.

Jamaica Inn, Bodmin Moor

February 2nd, 2010

from www.ghost-sighting.co.uk/

Yes, it’s that Jamaica Inn, of Daphne Du Maurier fame. Unsurprisingly, the 250-year-old tavern hosts an extensive collection of smuggling paraphernalia. Less well known is its collection of other-worldly goings on: the inexplicable noises of cartwheels and horses’ hooves in the cobbled courtyard; footsteps in empty corridors; a gentleman in a tricorn hat who walks through walls; and a murder victim who calmly sits outside musing on something. For a guaranteed sleepless night, ask for bedroom four.
