Types Of Paranormal Entities

Types Of Paranormal Entities 

When you're dealing with a paranormal entity, it doesn't take long to realize there are a number of different types of spirits and entities to consider. If you are facing paranormal experiences, it's essential to understand the types of spiritual entities that you may be dealing with. 

What is a Paranormal Entity? 

The word Entity is used to describe something that seems to have its own form of existence. Any distinct thing is an entity, whether it is living or non living. 

What makes something an entity means it simply exists and is distinctly different from other things around it. Paranormal experts use the word Entity because little is known about these beings other than the fact that they do exist and interact with our world in predictable and unpredictable ways. 

Paranormal Entity Types

Researchers classify entities into various types due to the different experiences paranormal investigators have when they deal with haunting activities. The phenomenon itself can appear manipulative and unpredictable at times. It's easier to explain an unknown cause of an event if you can classify it into a category. 

 1) A haunting Ghost 

Also referred to as a residual haunting, this type of entity appears to be a recording of energy that replays itself over and over again. Hauntings usually exist in a location where a person or animal repeats the same task over and over like it did during its life. 

Most investigators believe that through this repetition, a psychic imprint is left within that space. This can remain long after the person or animal has passed away. Investigators have reported seeing people in period clothing walking through lobbies or down hallways,or peering out the window of an old home. Most often, the history of a location includes a person who experienced very strong emotions. If the emotion was strong enough, even as a one-time event, an imprint may have been made thus leaving the energy of that moment forever playing in time.  

 2) An Apparition

Unlike hauntings, apparitions interact intelligently with people in the living world. These spirits may knock, open and close doors or cupboards, move objects, answer questions intelligently and even interact with electronic equipment such as flashlights. Spirits are made up of energies of varying power levels, and they take energy out of their environment in order to manifest interactions. As a result, a room may become colder, electronic equipment may fail, or batteries become drained.  

3) The Poltergeists 

The Poltergeists are referred to as a noisy ghosts. Many people think they are a specific type of entity. In actuality, poltergeist activity is the manifestation of certain types of activity that can be attributed to either apparitions or living people, where objects appear to move on their own. This can occur through the use of telekinesis. PK is essentially bursts of psychic energy that can cause objects to move, doors to open, knocking sounds and more. 

4) Demons 

Demons are entities of pure darkness and evil. Some also believe these are fallen angels. Evidence from possessed individuals and extremely violent poltergeist cases, suggest a form of a violent and hateful entity. These cases involve anything from objects flying across the room to shoves and pushes from invisible forces. 

5) Angels 

If you believe in the existence of demons, then you should also believe in their benevolent counterparts, the Angels. Angels are popular in many religions. In christianity, angels are believed to be beings God created to help serve his greatest good. Outside of christianity, one may take a looser view of angels by considering them more like Spirit Guides or Guardian Angels.
