Paranormally Normal

Paranormally Normal

Today, many events in the world lie a mystery. With that, people believe things which they can not really see. Although they can not see it, somehow they still have faith that it exists. Some examples would be a belief in God, knowing air exists although the eye can not see it, and paranormal activity. Paranormal activity is a topic which most scientists are on the fence about whether such activities in this world exist or not. In order to fully believe in this phenomenon, one must fully know the categories beyond this. Some paranormal activities are ghosts, poltergeist activity, telepathy, auras, and crop circles.

About everyone existing on this entire planet has heard of ghosts. Some see them in horror movies, hear ghost stories, or even believe they have seen one before. A ghost today can be defined as “some paranormal aspect of the physical form and/or mental presence that appears to exist apart from the original physical form.”(How to Hunt Ghosts p.1) Other names for ghosts are spirits, phantoms, apparitions, and entities. While some people believe ghosts are an aspect of a human spirit, skeptics might think there just some bizarre quirk in the human atmosphere. (How to Hunt Ghosts p.3) One might also think that a house is haunted if doors close by themselves, wood creeks, and voices are heard while others might just say that a draft closes the doors, the wood is old, and the pipes are bad.

Ghost Hunters which are frequently called parapsychologists define ghost hauntings into three categories; residential, intelligent, and inhuman. Residential hauntings are when the spirit does not communicate with you as though it does not even know your present. These hauntings usually have a “tape recorder” effect where the same thing happens frequently such as hearing someone walk up the stairs. An intelligent haunting is where the ghost knows your there and tries to communicate with you whether saying something, moving an object, or even manifesting itself. In inhuman spirit is a ghost which is not a human and never walked the earth in human form. Some would call these spirits demons and these hauntings usually can be harmful or dangerous to people.

There are many theories on how a ghost is able to show themselves. The most common theory is that they absorb energy from things around them to manifest themselves. Parapsychologists believe ghosts are surrounded by electromagnectic fields which gather energy from substances such as televisions, microwaves, cameras, and many other things to do this. (http://www.scifi.com/ghosthunters/terms/) Because of this theory, many ghost hunters today use electromagnetic detectors called E.M.F detectors which detect these fields. The higher the differences or spikes in the electromagnetic field, the more potential there is for paranormal activity. For the most part, entities or ghosts often use the electrical environment to manifest. (How to Hunt Ghosts p.77)

The word poltergeist is a German word meaning noisy ghosts, which are exactly what it means. (http://www.prairieghosts.com/polter.html) Poltergeist activity has been known to be famous for the ghosts to be very interactive with people like throwing and moving objects, making loud noises, and flickering lights. Unlike normal hauntings, this phenomenon is usually only temporary, lasting a couple days to a few months. (How to Hunt Ghosts p.97) Recently though, researchers came up with a new theory on why such poltergeist activities occur. It seems to the researchers that in most cases of poltergeists, the activity seemed to be centered around one individual of the household, usually being an adolescent female called the agent. (http://www.prairieghosts.com/polter.html)

Researchers believe these phenomenon are caused by adolescent females because they go through extreme hormone changes giving off a great deal of energy whenever their stressed, worried, aggressive, or other moods. (http://www.prairieghosts.com/polter.htm) One theory is that the ghost uses the agent’s present energy to move tings and make noises. The second theory which scientists are starting to research it does exist, is that the agent releases their emotions in bursts of energy causing psycho kinesis powers enabling the power to move things by energy generated in the brain. Therefore, the person was making things move and doors slam, not an entity. (http://www.prairieghosts.com/polter.html) The activity also primarily occurs when the agent is present. Scientists also believe that poltergeist activity lasts only a period of time because when the person starts calming down and becomes less stressed their energy around them gets less, causing the activity to die.

Telepathy is defined as direct mind to mind communication by the transferring of thought. Telepathy has always been a popular subject to humans and is not that
