Why are some places haunted? Why do ghosts linger among the living? By understanding what ghosts are we can untangle the underlying causes of hauntings. With knowledge, we are less terrified by the paranormal phenomenon. There is often a reason for ghosts to stay other than scaring us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common causes of intelligent hauntings are sudden or violent deaths, injustice, fear of final judgment, or unwillingness to let go of loved ones or possessions. As a general rule, the cause of a haunting depends on what type of ghost is responsible for the paranormal activity. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many types of ghosts (and entities), all with different characteristics. By identifying which type of ghost is causing the paranormal activity, we know more about the cause of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why ghosts haunt <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is impossible to give the exact reason why ghosts or spirits haunt. This is because different types of entities often have various reasons. The main types are residual hauntings, interactive or intelligent hauntings, poltergeist activity, shadow people, orbs, demonic hauntings, and portal hauntings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many different types of paranormal activity, all of which have their characteristics. In the sections below, we will look at them and why they might happen. As with living people, there are many causes, especially in intelligent hauntings.<\/p>\n\n\n

By understanding why ghosts and spirits haunt us, we gain more understanding and even compassion. Most ghosts or spirits are not evil. By recognizing their situation, many hauntings will calm down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many times, ghosts need help to move on and find the light. They might be trapped, unable to move on for emotional reasons. They want your attention so that they can resolve what needs to be fixed. Some don’t understand they passed. <\/p>\n\n\n

Often emotional reasons keep ghosts lingering in the world between ours and the afterlife. Some want to leave, others don’t know how to reach the light and move on. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If a person dies a sudden or traumatic death, they might not realize they have passed. They linger on, unable to leave. In other cases, they might not want to move on as they might feel connected to a person or a place they loved in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are inhuman entities as well. These hauntings do not spring from a living person or animal; they are, for example, of residual, demonic, or shadow people. These hauntings have another character and are not driven by human emotions or needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take a look at common types of hauntings and common causes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residual hauntings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Residual hauntings are not intelligent but “echos” of the energies of a person or animal. You can call this an emotional feedback loop. The animal or person has left a trail of energy that is imprinted in the space. This type of haunting is widespread. Residual hauntings are often caused by strong emotions like sadness, fright, anger, love, etc. This kind of haunting is common in prisons, on battlefields, in hospitals, and in crime scenes. <\/p>\n\n\n

Many residual hauntings are caused by strong emotions. That is why they are common in battlefields, hospitals, crime scenes, and alike. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Residual hauntings might loop, and the same activity is repeatedly happening. You might, for example, see a ghost move through a refurbished wall where it used to be a door. You might also see an abbreviation without feet if the floor height has been changed. You might also see feet near the roof if the roof has been heightened. You get my point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also common to hear sounds like tapping, voices, and walking. It can be crying, weeping, laughing, screaming, or alike. In most cases, the sounds are connected to a strong emotion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to be frightened by these hauntings as they will not hurt you. They are just echoes from a time passed. The ghost will not contact you or interfere with your everyday life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A residual haunting happens when there’s enough energy in the atmosphere for it to happen. Barometric pressure, humidity, solar storms, and temperatures might cause the residual haunting loop to start. This is why hauntings often occur when it is a thunderstorm, raining, or when the atmosphere gets charged with electricity or energy for different reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n

In later years a theory is that residual hauntings are due to energy settling into the structure of a house. It is called the stone tape theory<\/em>. The energy of the building material is absorbed and replayed as a residual haunting. Often, though, residual hauntings are present in older buildings. This might be due to more people passing through than in a new building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water is also considered a factor for residual hauntings. The theory is that water promotes paranormal activity. Many haunted places have water nearby; rivers, seas, underground water sources, water pipes, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you notice, residual hauntings are very interesting, and there are still many things to learn. One important thing is that they are not dangerous in any way. Look at them as recordings that loop when they get energy from the surroundings. In many cases, residual hauntings seem to fade over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
