New Forms of Ghosts and Updated Ghost Activity:

Qualities of Ghosts, Ghost Orbs and New Ghost Forms Reported In 2004-2006

Most ghost researchers and investigators are familiar with the appearance of ghost "orbs" or balls of light. They appear when ghost activity is present or in haunted places. They can appear to be different colors from white to grey, blue, red and not so common green. They take on various shapes, including oval, diamond and sometimes in the shape of a shield. Orbs are usually clear balls which you can see through and mostly visible in photos. They can also contain actual faces of people, have ectoplasm inside the orb, a spiral cortext, even showing people, family, places or things inside these clear balls which appear in mid-airmostly 3 feet above the ground.
It was once thought, ghost orbs were water marks or flashes on film negatives, but now with digital cameras Orbs are still appearing on photos in even clearer and more defined forms with excellent quality. We now have the digital technology to shoot fantastic ghost orb photos using 3meg all the way up to 9megapixels of digital information. We can now capture orbs as they travel and view it back in an instant in the camera viewer. "True orbs, for whatever reason, dart away during the flash. A camera shooting a flash should be able to shoot 50-60 feet to be able to capture orbs in the dark. The flash either over charges them, reveals them or affects orbs in ways which are still unexplained. Orbs will move in different directions at high speeds considering the speed of the camera flash".

Ghost Orbs Identified with Psychic Impressions

People who are psychic or "sensitive" can identify orbs and ghosts coming in more than anyone else since they can feel their presence and identify with the ghost. Many psychics can actually see the orbs or ghost images which who they are in contact with and can have actual person-to-spirit conversations. Psychics will usually point or identify where the ghost is in the room and if you point your digital camera at the spot where they have identified a ghostly presence, sure enough you will usually capture ghost orbs in the photo. Some psychics get a tingling sensation on their arms, back of their neck head or face. They have an "open" and heightened 6th sense of a presence which they are in contact with. Having an experienced psyschic with you when investigating ghosts will help you capture more ghost orbs and maybe find out who the ghosts are with the help of a psychic. It has only been in the last couple of years, that more people are turning to psychics as "see-ers and communicator's" of the spirit world in communicating and trying to understand ghosts in investigations.

Ghost Mist and Ectoplasm

This is an interesting topic which continues to puzzle and has no explanation other than for the form ghosts take. That is the mists or swirls, people see either vaporizing around them, in thin air, appearing suddenly in front of them or moving by. I refer to Ghost Mist, which on 4 occasions including one recent appearance of a new type of mist that seems to have a distorted form of a person, in most cases is the height of an adult person between 5-6 feet and leans forward as it moves almost like a person. Ectoplasm really does exist and is residual energy of a ghost or spirit which manifests as ghost energy, it can be white, in spirals, mist, fog, looks like rain drops, blurrs or bright white light. Whatever it is, ectoplasm remains after high concentrations where ghost activity is present and crystalizes in mid air after it appears. See the Ghost Photos page for examples and references.
This is the new kind of form of ghost mist I have been seeing and getting reports of in which the mist is see-through and moves as one mass. It either appears as white or grey and moves as one piece. In otherwords, it doesn't break up, disappear or branch out as mist should, but rather moves as a whole little cloud. Most ghost mist would usually appear in small quantities and then disappear quickly. I recently witnessed a ghostly mist travelling outside my home window as a mist appeared on the sidewalk pathway and continued to move in one full shape down the sidewalk! I watched intently as it seemed to walk further down the sidewalk without breaking up and then it faded away after travelling 20 feet or more. On several occassions, as I conducted our Ghost Walks, I have witnessed a mist appear several feet in front of me and either cross my path or keep moving ahead-I would refer to it as walking-but since it is mist, it was unexplainable how the form just didn't break appart, how it held together and you could still see it clearly move in a straight direction as mist moving 3 feet above ground.
Note: There were no heat vents, chimney's, car exhaust or any other form of smoke around at this time when the mist or ectoplasm has appeared. Some of our photos on our Ghostphotos page, including a very clear photo of ghost mist rising are posted on the photos page. Many people from our ghost walks have also experienced mist appearing and moving in front of them as if walking like a person and then fade away, not break appart like smoke would do. If anyone has any experiences of this new type of ghost activity, please feel free to email me your accounts and experiences. The mist-ery continues...

Transcenders

Another new experience which in most cases is really scary, is the manifestation of an entitiy appearing or "transcending" from another portal or dimension. I refer to this term as "Transcend", (I came up with and invented the term since there was no other word to explain this ghost activity). Since the ghost or entity materializes in front of the person with a wind sound or Whoosh! The entity usually appears as evil or demonic. It looks grotesque, with skelton like qualities or half-human half skeleton. It usually makes terrifying sounds, screams or growls. It appears out of thin air and you can clearly hear a gush of wind around as the entity makes it appearance. It then screams or tries to make deep throated sounds and suddenly disappears. Smells of sulphur were also present which is associated to demonic entities and evil spiritis.
The ghostly encounter lasts 4-10 seconds. My last encounter with this entity was January 12, 2005 at 1:25 am while I was relaxing watching TV. It seems this form of ghost activity happens around electrical devices such as radios, tvs, microwaves, computers. The experience scared the heck out of me since no sooner did I try to understand what was going on, the entity quickly disappeared. There was a a small amount of a foul putrid smell left in the air around the tv and entertainment center. I have experienced many ghost manifestations, most are harmless, but nothing ever like this!. This dramatic attack seems like the ghosts are getting more aggressive and stronger in coming through into this dimension. This is the second time I have experienced this in my home, which is very pleasant surroundings and has had very little ghost activity in the 4 years living here. My first experience was in the kitchen when my kettle was plugged in while making coffee on December 20th-2004. I experienced a rush of air, strong wind swirling around my kitchen, sounds of a deep male voice and then it disappeared.
It lasted 3 seconds. Nothing was broken, moved or crashed to the floor in both cases. Just a swirling wind with an evil voice or evil entity appearing. When I was conducting Ghost Walks this past Fall Season-2004, some people had witnessed a rush of wind and heard voices as we approached St. Lukes Cemetery. Same kind of incident, the witnessess claim they saw a skeleton-like demon appear in front of them, yell and almost attack them then disappear all in a matter of seconds. (Note: This is not the same as Shadow People since Shadow People are all black, usually look more like people and images moving very fast in the shadows. Shadow people are usually all black, have no faces and will follow the person home or hide in the background as they follow the person, and continue to stare at the person they are haunting).

Distortions and Time Shifts

Another form of ghost activity, becoming more common, is time shift or loss of time. This is also related to alien abductions and alien activity and this form of paranormal activity is thought to be on the same vortex or plane as alien portals. Time shifts occur usually early in the morning around 7:30 to 8:30am when you wake up or around mid afternoon between 3:00 to 4:00pm. What happens is a feeling of moving in slow motion, like time stands still and the room can also shift or feel like alternating on a 45 degree angle. The person experiencing this is pefectly normal, usually no drinking, smoking or any substance was not taken. The room can feel like climbing up a hill than it rights itself within 5 minutes. Sometimes you can hear a rush of wind or a swoosh of air pass by. Many people have looked on their watches and noted 1 hour has moved either ahead or back, yet the clocks in the house have all been 1 hour ahead. Victims of time shift have noted their watches, moving backwards or been moved back 1 hour from the clock in the living room which was ahead 1 hour. Distortions are also ghost activity which happens when ghost are active in a house and you can actually see the air in the room being distorted. It looks like ripples moving across the room or water drops falling. This mostly occurs where there is a strong presence of ghost and paranormal phenomena. It takes a trained eye to see the ripple moving across but usually you can see it with your plain eye after knowing what to look for. I have witnessed "ripple distortions" several times on our ghost walks including some pretty spooky abandoned houses we have investigated.
If anyone has had any experience of this nature, please email your accounts and stories to me as I would like to document and continue to research these experiences. Thank-you, Patrick Cross-Parapsycholgist-Director of Burlington Ghost Walks
