Get to Know your Ghosts - Intelligent Haunt
In this style of haunting the entity or entities are aware of
their surroundings. Most of the time you will find that these
spirits are not confined to one spot, they can move around
freely. Also, they will acknowledge the existence of human
beings and even try to communicate in certain ways.
They are limited in what they can do. Most of the time they
only move very light objects but they have been known to
move objects up to around 10lbs. They are looking for
people to notice them but they end up scaring people a
great deal instead.
Usually, between the hours of 11pm and 4am are the times
that the entities can more efficiently manifest themselves,
due to this time period being the darkest hours of the night.
Most of the time are not strong enough to show themselves
during the daylight because it takes too much energy to
make themselves visible. Think of it like this, if you were to
turn on a flashlight during the daytime you would hardly
notice the light, but if you were to turn it on in the dead of
night, the light would be clearly visible. This is how spirits
work as well. If they use too much energy during the day
they will be too weak to show themselves at night.
These spirits can be benevolent or mischievous,
depending on the reason that they are haunting a location,
and there are several reasons. They may be haunting it
because it was once their home and they want you to leave.
They may be there because they've found that a child is
able to see them so they feel noticed and are willing to stay
around for this fact. There may be some kind of artifact that
they are staying with and following due to some emotional
bond with it. They also may be looking for something or
someone. They may even not be willing to except that they
have died. Whatever the reason may be, they are there and
they do not want to leave.
Now comes the hard part, ridding a house of them. They are
not inhuman entities which we will get to, so religious
provocation will not be effective to rid the area they are in.
You are, as they are, limited to what you can do.
