Now, on this segment of The

0:02

Shadow Files with K-Town.

0:04

Ghost spirits and types

0:06

of hauntings. What are

0:08

ghosts, spirits, and hauntings?

0:11

What are the different

0:13

types of these entities? So

0:15

we can make things easier

0:17

to understand. Let's briefly

0:20

talk about our universe,

0:22

dimension, and plane of

0:24

existence. If we have a

0:26

better understanding of

0:28

our surroundings, We can

0:30

better understand these phenomena

0:32

and how it's possible for

0:35

ghosts, spirits, and hauntings

0:37

to exist in our world. Scientific

0:39

facts and leading theories are

0:42

great places to start. First,

0:44

the universe. The universe is

0:46

made of energy. Everything around you

0:49

is energy. When broken down

0:51

to its purest form of

0:53

subatomic particles, including yourself. Energy

0:55

cannot be totally destroyed. It

0:58

just changes form. When you

1:00

are born, a spark of

1:03

energy brings you into this

1:05

world and within our universe

1:07

are other dimensions or planes

1:10

of existence. There are many

1:12

doorways to these worlds and black

1:14

holes will soon prove this.

1:17

Astro physicists agree that black

1:19

holes exist and we now

1:21

have the technology to

1:23

create them with particle

1:25

accelerators like the large hadron

1:27

collider. near Geneva. A black

1:29

hole is a perfect example

1:32

of how anything is possible

1:34

in this universe because all

1:36

the laws of physics go out

1:38

the window when you reach the center

1:40

which is called the singularity.

1:42

Leading scientists agree the singularity

1:45

is a very likely place

1:47

to enter another dimension or

1:49

plane of existence. This gives

1:52

a great argument that doorways

1:54

to other worlds do exist.

1:56

and how such phenomena like

1:58

ghosts spirit and hauntings

2:00

are scientifically possible on

2:02

our dimensional frequency in

2:05

a universe made of

2:07

energy. Everything in this

2:09

universe has energy. Everything

2:11

in this universe has purpose.

2:13

Everything in this universe is

2:16

connected. Next, let's discuss ghosts.

2:18

What are ghosts? Our theory

2:21

is that ghosts are the energy

2:23

of a person or animal's soul.

2:25

that once lived. Ghost exists

2:27

in between our dimension and

2:29

the next, like a radio

2:31

signal that isn't quite coming

2:33

in clear on our dimensional

2:36

frequency. They have not fully

2:38

crossed over to the spirit realm.

2:40

There are multiple reasons why

2:42

ghosts make themselves known to

2:44

us, and how they interact with

2:47

the living is usually

2:49

determined by what personality

2:51

characteristics they had. when

2:54

they were alive. Ghost personality

2:56

characteristics. Ghost were once human,

2:58

just like you and I. It is

3:00

believed that you keep your personality

3:03

characteristics when you die.

3:05

For example, if you were

3:07

an evil person in life, you will be

3:09

the same as a ghost. Mean spirited

3:11

ghosts usually torment the

3:14

living at haunted locations.

3:16

Feeding off the victim's fear energy.

3:18

The same goes for good people. If

3:21

you were a loving person in life.

3:23

You will be a loving

3:25

ghost. Good-spirited ghosts are

3:27

usually very protective of

3:29

families that live in

3:31

haunted locations. Remember not all

3:33

ghosts are bad. Why ghosts

3:36

are here? There are multiple

3:38

reasons why ghosts make themselves

3:40

known to us and why they

3:42

are still here. However, there doesn't

3:44

have to be a particular

3:46

reason. Sometimes they just happen.

3:49

It can happen to anyone.

3:51

and remains a mystery

3:54

as to why crisis

3:56

apparitions are usually a

3:59

one-time paranormal

4:01

experience. When a ghost is

4:03

seen at the time of its death by

4:05

family and friends as a way

4:07

of saying goodbye or giving important

4:10

information. For example, you're

4:12

watching TV in your

4:14

living room after visiting

4:16

your mother in the

4:18

hospital and turn around to

4:20

see her standing over you smiling

4:23

and then she vanishes a second

4:25

later the phone rings. And when

4:27

you answer, her doctor tells you

4:29

she has just passed. If someone

4:31

visits you more than once

4:34

to give you information or

4:36

comfort, that is a good sign

4:38

they have progressed to

4:40

your self-appointed guardian angel.

4:43

We will get more in

4:45

depth about this in the

4:47

spirit section. Ghosts that are

4:49

unaware that they are deceased.

4:51

Go about their business as if

4:53

they are still living. They do not

4:56

understand they have passed. A

4:58

great example is the

5:00

movie The Others. The ghosts

5:02

portrayed in the movie believe

5:04

the living are the ghosts.

5:06

Sometimes ghosts can't see the

5:08

living but instead feel their

5:11

presence. This can cause stress on

5:13

the ghost as well as

5:15

the living and happens often

5:17

when people move into the

5:19

house of a recently deceased

5:21

person. Usually an elderly

5:23

person who lived and died alone

5:26

in the final years. The ghost

5:28

sees the newcomers as invaders.

5:30

But simply talking to the

5:32

ghost about their death can

5:34

help them cross over. Next,

5:37

ghosts. With unfinished business,

5:39

ghosts with unfinished business

5:41

can linger in this

5:43

world for numerous reasons.

5:45

Like a father, making sure

5:47

his children. succeed in

5:49

life despite his sudden

5:51

death. There are many

5:53

cases involving victims of foul

5:56

play unable to cross over

5:58

until justice has been served.

6:00

Another example would be of

6:02

a recently deceased lover making

6:04

sure their partner finds happiness

6:06

and moves on. ghosts that

6:09

are trapped or lost. These

6:11

types of ghosts usually know

6:13

they are dead, but for

6:15

one reason or another cannot

6:17

cross over yet. Some may

6:20

fear moving on because of

6:22

the person they were in

6:24

life or they fear leaving

6:26

what is familiar to them.

6:28

Some ghosts may be trapped

6:31

in fear. Some ghosts may

6:33

be trapped in fear. and

6:35

held captive by another ghost

6:37

or evil spirit, like in

6:39

a murder suicide haunting. Other

6:41

ghosts may be trapped at

6:44

a location because an evil

6:46

spirit or ghost may have

6:48

drove them to suicide. Dark

6:50

entities feed off the fear

6:52

energy of ghosts in the

6:55

living. A common example of

6:57

a lost ghost could be

6:59

someone who died abroad and

7:01

is now trying to find

7:03

their way home. vengeful ghosts.

7:05

An example of a vengeful

7:08

ghost would be if a

7:10

woman was murdered by a

7:12

male and now as a

7:14

ghost only torments or attacks

7:16

males when they are present

7:19

at the haunted location. Hungry

7:21

ghosts. In Chinese slash Hindu

7:23

Buddhist belief the hungry ghosts

7:25

are said to come back

7:27

to this realm for reasons

7:30

such as to visit their

7:32

families or old homes. In

7:34

Taoism religion, hungry ghosts are

7:36

deceased people that in one

7:38

way or another did not

7:40

find everything they needed in

7:43

the afterlife. These ghosts will

7:45

come back to feed off

7:47

victims fear energy. It is

7:49

believed that leaving offerings of

7:51

food, drink and money will

7:54

appease them so they will

7:56

leave in peace. Residual ghosts

7:58

usually live out their final

8:00

hours over and over again.

8:02

Residuals most often show no

8:04

intelligence. or self-awareness. They will

8:07

go right past or through

8:09

you without a flinch. Many

8:11

believe it was their emotional

8:13

energy that left an imprint

8:15

or recording on our dimensional

8:18

frequency like a tape recorder.

8:20

One example would be of

8:22

someone getting hit by a

8:24

train on a full moon

8:26

night and now every time

8:29

there's a full moon the

8:31

ghost is seen walking the

8:33

tracks. Child ghosts. Child ghosts

8:35

are the ghost of children

8:37

that have passed for one

8:39

reason or another. This type

8:42

of paranormal activity is very

8:44

sad for obvious reasons. These

8:46

types of ghosts are usually

8:48

lonely and seek attention. Inadvertently,

8:50

terrifying people by making toys

8:53

or other objects move. Some

8:55

believe these ghosts are actually

8:57

demons in disguise. Ghostly sounds

8:59

and smells. Ghostly sounds like

9:01

knocking screams. Music. Moaning and

9:03

voices are quite common around

9:06

haunted locations. These sounds can

9:08

be residual or intelligent. Knocking

9:10

is an old way of

9:12

communicating with the dead. Ghostly

9:14

smells are also a very

9:17

common occurrence in areas with

9:19

high levels of paranormal activity

9:21

and they can be residual

9:23

or intelligent as well. Perfumes,

9:25

cigar, smoke and food smells

9:28

are just a few of

9:30

the scents. One may encounter.

9:32

Beware of foul smells like

9:34

rotting garbage or sulphurs, to

9:36

name a few. Foul smells

9:38

like these could mean dark

9:41

entities, demons, or very evil

9:43

ghosts are making themselves known.

9:45

Animal ghosts. Animal ghosts are

9:47

the ghosts of deceased animals

9:49

and can remain in this

9:52

world for numerous reasons. Like

9:54

their human counterparts, animal spirit

9:56

guides are different than animal

9:58

ghosts. Living ghosts. A living

10:00

ghost can be when the

10:02

soul leaves the body of

10:05

the still living. This can

10:07

happen if some kind of

10:09

trauma took place and a

10:11

piece of you was left

10:13

behind or imprinted in some

10:16

way at a location. These

10:18

rare types of ghosts can

10:20

show intelligence and self-awareness. A

10:22

doppelganger is different because it's

10:24

an exact copy of yourself.

10:27

Doppelgangers can be harmless or

10:29

omens of death. The harmless

10:31

doppelgangers... are oftentimes an unconscious

10:33

projection of a person's will.

10:35

The entity is visible to

10:37

others, but the projector rarely

10:40

sees it. This is a

10:42

good thing, because it is

10:44

believed that when a person

10:46

witnesses their own doppelganger, it

10:48

then becomes a omen of

10:51

their impending death. Ghost vessel,

10:53

ghost ship, phantom vehicle, or

10:55

ghostly object. Phantom vehicle may

10:57

refer to a ghostly or

10:59

haunted vehicle. Also for insurance

11:01

purposes, a vehicle that causes

11:04

death, injury or damage without

11:06

making physical contact. These types

11:08

of ghostly phenomena could be

11:10

due to the enormous amounts

11:12

of human energy that has

11:15

passed through these vehicles when

11:17

they were in service and

11:19

can be very disturbing because

11:21

they are usually connected to

11:23

tragic events. For example, a

11:26

ship carrying thousands of passengers.

11:28

throughout his carrier could store

11:30

tones of energy and eventually

11:32

take on a type of

11:34

life of its own. There

11:36

are many reports of ghost

11:39

ships seen by sailors. Many

11:41

are apparitions of ships that

11:43

have sunk wrecked the ground

11:45

or disappeared years or centuries

11:47

ago. Some sailors say citing

11:50

a ghost ship foretells of

11:52

impending doom on the high

11:54

seas. Many apparitions of trains,

11:56

cars, and carriages have been

11:58

seen as well. According to

12:00

the legend, every April 29th,

12:03

Lincoln's ghost. train is seen.

12:05

The funeral car carrying the

12:07

body of Abraham Lincoln rumbles

12:09

through the town of Urbana,

12:11

Ohio. Following the route, it

12:14

took back in 1865 when

12:16

it carried the president's body

12:18

back to Springfield, Illinois. Spirits.

12:20

A spirit is a generic

12:22

term used to describe any

12:25

entity that was never human

12:27

like angels, demons, or other

12:29

gods. However, a human spirit

12:31

is the soul of a

12:33

person who has crossed over

12:35

and is not bound to

12:38

this world like ghosts. Angels.

12:40

Angels are spirits aligned with

12:42

God. They are positive energy

12:44

beings that were never human.

12:46

Some believe there is a

12:49

hierarchy of angels, each with

12:51

a specific purpose. Different ways

12:53

to evoke these spirits have

12:55

been around for centuries. and

12:57

they will protect you from

12:59

dark entities as well as

13:02

the living. It is said,

13:04

an angel's aura is so

13:06

bright that it gives the

13:08

appearance of wings. Angels represent

13:10

the good and positive forces

13:13

of the universe. However, they

13:15

are very powerful beings that

13:17

are not to be trifled

13:19

with. Guardian angels. Guardian angels

13:21

are believed to be human

13:23

spirits. Usually an ancestor sent

13:26

to guide and protect you

13:28

along life's journey. It is

13:30

said that a person can

13:32

have more than one guardian

13:34

angel depending on someone's sensitivity

13:37

to the spirit world as

13:39

well. Animal spirit guide. Native

13:41

Americans believe that when you

13:43

are born an animal spirit

13:45

enters your body. They could

13:48

be a type of animal

13:50

guardian of your soul and

13:52

will protect you along life's

13:54

journey. Demons. Demons are negative

13:56

non-human spirits, commonly used in

13:58

Judeo. Christian terms as fallen

14:01

angels. The term also applies

14:03

to many different gods and

14:05

spirits in other cultures that

14:07

predate Judeo-Christian ones. It is

14:09

believed there is a hierarchy

14:12

with demons as well ranging

14:14

from the very powerful to

14:16

lesser ones. Demons are very

14:18

deceptive about concealing their true

14:20

identity often disguising themselves as

14:22

harmless spirits. or ghosts. A

14:25

demon can appear as many

14:27

entities to confuse its targets

14:29

and to extract more fear

14:31

energy out of victims by

14:33

making their numbers seem greater.

14:36

However, they usually attack in

14:38

waves, starting with the lesser

14:40

demons leading the way. Once

14:42

the victim has been morally

14:44

broken down over time, the

14:47

more powerful demons step in

14:49

for the possession. It is

14:51

important to obtain the demon's

14:53

name. as this will help

14:55

the exorcist or shaman in

14:57

the exorcism or cleansing. Foul

15:00

smells like rotting garbage and

15:02

sulfur are telltale signs of

15:04

a demonic presence. The sounds

15:06

of animal grunting are associated

15:08

as well and their appearance

15:11

can range from a dark

15:13

shadow form, human-like form, to

15:15

half animal-like creatures. Never taunt

15:17

or challenge a demon unless

15:19

properly trained. as this usually

15:21

increases the violence at a

15:24

haunted location. Demons are evil

15:26

in human supernatural beings of

15:28

intelligence, wit and power. They

15:30

have the ability to invade

15:32

our homes, attach themselves to

15:35

objects and humans, and cause

15:37

both mental and emotional torture

15:39

by attacking or possessing humans.

15:41

They can morph into any

15:43

shape they wish from humans

15:46

to animals. before your eyes.

15:48

They are neither male nor

15:50

female, but will change to

15:52

whatever meets their need at

15:54

the time. Demons are most

15:56

commonly seen as black masses

15:59

standing in doorways or in

16:01

corners of the room. They

16:03

have a hatred for mankind

16:05

and think of us as

16:07

lowly and stupid most demonic

16:10

entities like a challenge and

16:12

are incredibly conniving. They may

16:14

have you believing they are

16:16

good spirits or may appear

16:18

to have gone away only

16:20

to confront you again at

16:23

the least expected and most

16:25

vulnerable moment. Their main goal.

16:27

is to break down a

16:29

person's free will in order

16:31

to make way for possession.

16:34

Beginning as oppression. This can

16:36

take days, months, or years.

16:38

But time is of no

16:40

concern to them. They don't

16:42

give up easily. Elementals. Elementals

16:45

are non-human spirits. With a

16:47

connection to the elements of

16:49

earth, water, air, and fire.

16:51

They are also referred to

16:53

an older order. gods, fairies,

16:55

and elves in other cultures.

16:58

Shadow ghosts or spirits. Shadow

17:00

ghosts or spirits, this is

17:02

a type of spirit or

17:04

ghost. This phenomena could just

17:06

be a type of form

17:09

either entity can take, but

17:11

no one is certain. Their

17:13

appearance can range from dark

17:15

gray to black, and height

17:17

varies from one foot to

17:19

six feet or above. They

17:22

can be seen as dark

17:24

smoke, like figures. or blobs.

17:26

Next, shadow people. Not much

17:28

is known of shadow people.

17:30

But as the technology improves,

17:33

the paranormal community is getting

17:35

more and more evidence of

17:37

their existence. Some call them

17:39

watchers or observers from another

17:41

dimension. Shadow people may not

17:44

be ghosts or spirits. Some

17:46

are described as tall, black,

17:48

humanoid-looking beings with red eyes

17:50

and no necks. Others. are

17:52

described as black masses, hauntings,

17:54

a haunting is when paranormal

17:57

activity. has been occurring for

17:59

a lengthy period of time

18:01

in a certain location. An

18:03

area can become haunted for

18:05

many reasons, not just untimely

18:08

deaths or tragic accidents. Sometimes

18:10

an area can become haunted

18:12

because it was the favorite

18:14

place of a person who

18:16

has passed. People do not

18:18

have to die at a

18:21

location for it to become

18:23

haunted and it can technically

18:25

happen anywhere. The architecture of

18:27

a structure of a structure.

18:29

The minerals in the land,

18:32

underground springs, and other water

18:34

sources can have a major

18:36

factor as well. For example,

18:38

you should never build structures

18:40

on top of limestone or

18:43

water tables because limestone retains

18:45

energy and water is a

18:47

conductor of energy. This belief

18:49

dates back over 5,000 years

18:51

in ancient China and other

18:53

areas in the region. Haunted

18:56

can refer to a person.

18:58

object or place that has

19:00

a ghost or spirit attached

19:02

to it. Haunted objects can

19:04

be anything from jewelry to

19:07

an old piano and often

19:09

have an aura in photos.
