Hauntings - Types of Hauntings
Remember, there is no exact science as far as the paranormal goes. While there are professional paranormal investigators, there are no real "experts", per say, in this field. The information we have within our reach is the result of decades of research conducted by parapsychologists, paranormal researchers and investigators, as well as the documented experiences of millions of people, including inventors, philosophers and ordinary people.
Parapsychology has determined that the Intelligent-type of haunting does in fact exist. Their findings indicate that the entity or entities involved in an Intelligent style haunting appear to possess, in limited scopes, human-like qualities, such as emotions, personalities and actions. They can often appear in human form, just as they were right before their death, and are responsive to the environment and any changes within, such as the occupants, investigators, visitors, renovations and even rearranging of furniture. These human-like attributes suggest that they once were living human beings, giving creedence to our beliefs.
An intelligent type haunting can be very stressful for a person or family. A lot of times the spirit may be trying to communicate with you. It may need help, may be afraid to cross over, may have unfinished business, may be looking for someone or may simply not want to leave. The spirit can also be present because a person that is sensitive may be able to see, hear or sense them, and in many cases this may be a child. They can even be present to warn you of danger or help you in another form. Whatever the reason for their presence, they are there, they realize they are being noticed and that makes them continue with their actions.
It is possible to help these spirits, although it usually takes an experienced investigator or medium to do so.
1) First, document your experiences. Document everything. This is also useful if an investigation is needed later on.
2) Learn the history of the home, building or area. Try to discover if anyone has passed away or if there have been any accidents or unfortunate deaths in the home, building or nearby surroundings. This, along with your documented experiences, will assist you determining the possible identity of the spirit.
3) Talk to the spirit, tell it that you know what happened to it (if you've discovered), that you're sorry but they have to cross over. Tell them to follow the light, that loved one's will be there to help them and that everything will be fine. Let them know that it's better for them to move on and that they will be met with love, affection and forgiveness, regardless of what they've done. Most of all, let them know that they have passed away and they don't belong in the physical world any longer.
