There are two types of Vortexes; ones that are funnel like entities and ones that are a swirl of souls together like a
gateway to the spirit realm. These forms are rare and often are said to be camera straps. Generally the centers of
them are darker and the outside lighter and most appear in white. Orbs cause these types of vortexes when they move
downwards and then stop all of a sudden.
Shadow Ghosts
These are very elusive ghosts, many theories come about them indicating that they are entities from other worlds, live
underground, are ghost demons etc. But they fit all the categories as a ghost where they are usually solid or
transparent black; most are seen near walls as if the shadow had become alive. Often the shadow ghosts have red
eyes, but can also have green eyes; they are very quick and once you notice them, they vanish, fade or move quickly
away. They appear to have a human figure very tall, thin, arms, legs; some appear to have no neck. They appear to be
very curious of what is happening with the living as they are always watching.
Ectoplasms
This generally is a thick mist, fog, or plasma type of material that shows up on cameras. Generally in most ectoplasm
they appear like swirls, however they can also contain faces, with morphed souls within it. This ectoplasm is a sign that
an apparition is either manifesting or has just got done manifesting. It can appear in many colors’ mainly white or blue,
but can also be seen in pink and red.
Apparitions-Disembodied Spirits
These are rare but an apparition basically is a ghost in its full form with the same clothes usually, with the appearance
of what they looked like before they died. They will not hurt you; they may scare you since they appear transparent.
The only time they appear is when they want to tell you something and at times they become desperate to gain
attention. They will move things around, make noise, and sometimes talk. They can sometimes cause disruptions with
appliances such as lights and televisions. They are basically the deceased and they know they are dead.
Orbs
An Orb is a round circle of light that varies in degrees of size and shape; some are diamond shaped while others are
bell shaped. Diamond and bell shaped orbs are not often caught on film while a round orb is more easily caught on film.
It is believed that these Orbs are the essence of a spirit and that the varying degrees of depth and brightness gives us
clues to how near or far they are to materializing in our environment. It has been said that if one would call out to your
loved ones, guide or angels, you would get an Orb in a digital photo. Festive times and times of celebration seem to
call upon these spirits and they seem to come around in abundance. There are some who consider these Orbs to be
portals to the other side. More aptly, if this is the case, they are the other side watching over us and lending support.
Demons
These are the fallen angels or ancient beings. We can call them lower demeaning spirits where there is so much evil or
hate that their soul reflects the true form of a demon. They can materialize but often they sit back and observe.
Demons often have a rotten stench; they are usually humanoid looking or half beast with horns but human features.
Demons are said to have different levels of powers, some can possess, others can be a nuisance, and some are even
after souls. They are masters of trickery and most hate anything holy or human. A lot of hatred comes with these
creatures as they do not feed on negative energy but rather make it in your life. Demons want to be seen and some
cults call upon them or deities to do their bidding, so these entities are older then ghosts and can be powerful ones.
Many haunted places may have a demon in it and many of the ghosts in that area will try and warn you since even
spirits are afraid of them.
Spirits
These are departed souls of the dead. Generally they do not have a form just a blur or cloud of light. Everything has a
soul on earth, animals have spirits and so do we. Most people call them guides spirits that will stick by your side and
help you deal with life’s tribulations.
Residuals
These are most common as to where the ghost, spirit, or entity repeats its last moments before departing. This can be
quite dramatic and terrifying. These types of ghost are also called phantoms; they do not know that they are dead and
their imprint from the past is left for the future. An example of this type of phenomenon might be an anniversary of
someone’s death, or let’s say a sailor is lost at sea, the ghost of his lover might show up on the beach every night at 1:
00 am looking for him because he did not return. These ghosts ignore you, I mean that you can talk to them, shine
lights on them and they just keep going about their business.
Portals
A portal is a dimensional doorway from our world to the spirit world allowing spirits to travel from one place to another.
