Apparition
The visual appearance of a disembodied spirit. It doesn’t necessarily take on a human shape or show signs of personality or intelligence.
Demon
In Christianity, demons are evil spirits. Some say they are of another plane of exsistance.
Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP)
The capture of spirit voices on magnetic tape as an audio recording. Many times, no sound is heard while the tape is recording. It's only upon playback that the voices can be heard.
Electromagnetic Field (EMF)
Is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. Spirits are said to emit this kind of force when they are present.
Ghost
A form of apparition, usually the visual appearance of a deceased human's spirit soul.
Hallucination
A false or distorted perception of objects or events with a full belief in their reality. Ghosts, as we define them, are not hallucinations, because they have a real, external cause.
Haunt
A ghost that returns to the same location is said to haunt it. Ghosts generally haunt places, not people, however it is not unusual for a spirit to attach itself to a particular individual or family due to a connection.
Haunting
The repeated manifestation of strange and inexplicable sensory phenomena said to be caused by ghosts or spirits.
Intelligent Haunting
A spirit or other phenomena that interacts with an individual or family.
Orb
Orbs are a form of energy that are of an unknown origin, although they’re thought by some paranormal researchers to be basic spirit forms. They usually cannot be seen by the human eye, but they can be viewed with night-vision equipment and recorded with photographic equipment. Orbs are a very controversial topic among paranormal researchers because dust, rain, snow ect. can be easily mistaken for an orb. The only time we will consider an orb is when we at least have an EVP, EMF reading, or a drastic temperature change.
Paranormal
Something that does not have a scientific explanation.
Phenomenon
A term used to describe anything that cannot be explained in scientific terms.
Residual Haunting
An energy imprint. Often the event happens over and over at the same time and place. No matter if it is seen or unseen. Such as footsteps in a hallway ever night without any interaction with the individual or family.
Soul
While difficult to define due to the different definitions of soul among various religions, it is often thought to be the life-force of an individual.
Spirit
While a ghost is a manifestation of a spirit that has existed in human form, not all spirits have resided on earth. Spirits can manifest themselves in the forms of orbs, mist, vortexes, or shadows.
Spirit Attachment
A type of possession. While the spirit does not actively possess the individual it does become attached to it. Much like haunting a person rather than a place.
Spiritual Guide
A spirit that watches over a living person and that offers wisdom or guidance. Referred to by some as a guardian angel.
Supernatural
Something that exists or occurs through some means other than any known force in nature. As opposed to paranormal, the term "supernatural" often connotes divine or demonic intervention.
Witching Hour
A slang term for the time of night when ghosts are the most active, usually placed at between midnight and 3 a.m.
