Ghost Facts and FAQs by Michael Tasker. WHAT IS A GHOST? A ghost is an evil spirit with many powers. They use these powers to haunt the living and perform tricks. Unlike in the movies, ghosts are probably impervious to magical attack, and cannot be destroyed. WHY DO MOST GHOSTS LIVE IN GRAVEYARDS? If ghosts get too far away from their bodies, their powers weaken. Though they may move freely they must visit the area near their old bodies to replenish their energy. This is why I have never seen a ghost on a plane. HOW MANY TYPES OF GHOST EXIST? The first is a spectral orb, which looks like a ball of light. They are most often seen in graveyards and in haunted houses. The second is ectoplasmic mist, the second form of a spirit They are also found in graveyards and in haunted houses. An Apparition is the last phase, this is the strongest of the spirit phases. The more physical they look, and the brighter they glow. the stronger their powers are. Mainly found in graveyards and haunted houses. Most ghost apparitions are human (eg pirate/ Hitler), but some can be werewolves, goblins or monsters. IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A DEMON? Simple answer? Hell yes. A "Demon" is one of few creatures from hell who still walk this earth and are very dangerous. What you are more likely to come in contact with are "lesser demons" or evil spirits. They are far stronger than ghosts and differ in appearance. A ghost is a white or blue colour, while a demon is gray, brown or black. They look just like a shadow figure. They have various coloured eyes based on their level of energy. Red eyes - very strong, Yellow eyes- Strong, Teal eyes- semi-strong. Their may be other colours of eyes, but I have only seen these three myself. They generally will attempt to kill you or take over your mind. If there is more than one, they can combine energy to cause harm. If you see a demon. Get away from it. Fast. HOW DO GHOSTS SHOW IN PHOTOS? Ghosts, even when not seen by the human eye, can show up on photos. This is because they are a different type of light that our eyes can't see (called ectoplasmic spectral light). Under night vision, you can see ghosts. They can be picked up for it amplifies any type of light. Orbs generally are never seen by the human eye, for they move too fast and are very cunning. A camera can pick them up though, in many of orb photos you can see that they are moving. Dont use digital !! See Dr. Ken & Lynn's page for more on that. ARE OUIJA BOARDS MAGIC AND FUN? No. Do not mess with ouija boards!! All it takes is two people concentrating on a particular spirit to bring it there. Once it is there, it is very hard to get it back. Think of it as a gateway between dimensions. Although most of the time ouija boards are fun for asking questions, in which the answer is given through the movements of your hands by your unconscious , it can be dangerous if it is used in any way to contact spirits. It is likely you will invoke Tal'Kaedoth of the Dark Realm, or at very least Ma'Chok, the Devourer of Souls. YOU ROCK HOW DO I BECOME A GHOST HUNTER LIKE YOU?
