TYPES of SPIRITS

Mom and Pop Ghosts - This is a quaint term commonly used in the paranormal field to mean that the spirits are just regular folk who remained behind for some reason. It may be the love of their home, unfinished business, waiting for something or someone, etc... They are not harmful to the living, but may share the same space, and even try to make the living family live by their rules by showing their displeasure at what they view an inappropriate behavior. For instance if a member of the living uses profanity, the ghost may not approve, and attempt to convey that message to the living by frightening them.

Mom and Pop ghosts may be seen, heard, and often smelled. It could be the aroma of fresh baking bread, a favorite perfume, a pipe or cigar, etc.

Negative Ghosts - These are ghosts of people who who once lived that are holding onto their hurt and/or anger. These could even have been violent people in life. These ghosts may attempt to frighten and even hurt the living. They seem to thrive and even feed off of fearful energy produced by the living, so will deliberately frighten those that are near it. If the situation between this sort of spirit and the living is not dealt with appropriately, it's power will grow stronger causing a truly frightening life for whoever lives or works in the spirit's proximity.

Demons - Many a non-human spirit tends to get classified as a demonic spirit. When people think of demons, they usually think of it in a biblical sense. Many spirits labeled "demon" appear to be various sorts of non-human spirits such as various land spirits. Some also turn out to be negative human spirits mimicking a "demon" in order to frighten the living by turning religous items upside down and such. A true demonic spirit would be quite powerful, and are very rare. This is not a dimension that is a natural environment to them.

Shadow Beings - Shadow beings can range from small scurrying critters to full grown tall men. Although no one knows what all the varieties of shadow beings are, some are simply ghosts. Because they appear as dark shadows that are blacker than the night, people often fear them, assuming they are negative. So far the evidence seems to imply that some shadow people are negative while others are not. Shadow people have to be dealt with on a case by case study.
