So are there different types of hauntings? The answer is yes. There are four clearly defined and distinct types of haunts. The four types of hauntings are residual haunts, intelligent haunts, poltergeists, and inhuman spirits. In residual haunts, there is no actual spirit (as one might call it) present. These are simply images and whole events from times past that replay themselves over and over. They are thought by many to be caused by trapped psycho-kinetic energy; possibly becoming that way due to tragic circumstances, but for reasons still not fully understood. Residual haunts do not seem to notice any other person, thing, or event going on around them. If new walls are built in a particular residual haunt area, the ghost will walk directly through them. Unfortunately, since no consciousness remains, these hauntings can never be encouraged to leave, only understood and learned to live with. Intelligent haunts are just what the title implies, they are intelligent. They are self aware as much as you and I, as well as having an excellent perception of their earthly surroundings. This type of spirit can interact with the physical world enough to actually move small objects. Many times they will attempt to make contact with the living, EVP recordings of the interactive variety showcase this quite well. Poltergeists (noisy ghost) are also known to be smart entities therefore, they share many characteristics of intelligent haunts. However, these spirits in many occasions will attach themselves to, and feed off of the energy of a particular person. Many times being teenagers in volatile emotional states. They are mischievous and/or violent in nature. The poltergeist's claim to fame is their unique ability to stunningly move objects in a much more demonstrative fashion than your average ghost. The reason these spirits are able to manifest such strong powers of levitation over objects probably is directly related to the fact that they have learned to manipulate the energy of humans to their benefit. Inhuman spirits are referred to by many as demons. Titles aside, the point is that they are bad news. These entities were never human and may feed off of the negative energies from people they encounter. They are often very powerful and evil and demonstrate abilities above and beyond that of any human spirit. We do feel the term demon is sometimes too limiting. Not all of these presences fit this dogmatic mold of the word demon. |

| EMF'S EMF stands for Electromagnetic field. Magnetic fields are created when electric current flows: the greater the current, the stronger the magnetic field. Electromagnetic fields (EMF'S) are present everywhere in our environment but are invisible to the human eye. Electromagnetic fields are commonly caused by home appliances and from a structure's internal electrical wiring. We look for unexplainable EMF readings which can possibly be related to paranormal activity such as when a spirit is attempting to manifest or manipulate an object. Often these EMF readings will be in unusual areas or be moving in an unexplainable manner. |
| EVP'S EVP stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena. An EVP is an unexplainable voice or sound captured on a recording device which could not be heard by the human ear at the time it was imprinted on the recording. These voices are often responsive to the investigators prompts and sometimes even answer questions asked by the investigator. In a case such as that, the evidence may suggest an intelligent haunt is taking place. |
| Another theory is that paranormal activity may be effected by our lunar activity. A full moon may actually increase paranormal activity. |


| ORBS Orbs are typically an unexplained round imprint found in photos which commonly appear to be white and usually dull in color. They are believed by many to be balls of energy that are associated with the paranormal. Orbs are a very controversial subject among paranormal researchers for the reason being that they are usually caused by natural outside elements such as dust, pollen, rain drops, and even a dirty camera lenses. In some cases, we will only show them to clients for face value consideration and do not claim they are linked to paranormal or a haunting unless supported by other evidence. |

| Cold Spots Cold spots are quite simply what the name says. They are cold spots located in an area of any structure or property. Cold spots can be large as an entire room or small as a basket ball or smaller. Cold spots often are found to be very mobile and can move from one area to another or suddenly dissipate. They are believe to be caused when a spirit is attempting to manifest or manipulate an object and uses available energy in the area such as battery energy from an appliance or from the air such as heat energy, Upon using the heat energy, the area is left cold. |
| It is believed that paranormal activity may intensify during storms such as a thunder storm. Spirits use the abundant energy in the air to manifest and manipulate objects. |
| . |
| Apparition An apparition is when a spirit manifests itself and is visible to the human eye. Apparitions include: full bodied, which can appear to look like an actual living person. Apparitions can also be in the form of a Shadow figure, when the spirit only appears to be a shadow existing alone. Apparitions can also appear as a fog or haze or possibly a glow. It is theorized that the degree of completeness that apparition appears is effected by the spirits ability to manifest and/or the energy available in the area for it's use to do so. |

| Having renovations, remodeling or an addition put on your home? It is reported that when paranormal activity is present in a home, putting on an addition or even simple renovations in your home can often escalate the activity. The theory is that the spirits or ghosts feel that the home is still theirs and you are changing it against their wishes. EPPS has had cases where such claims have been made including items and even tools being thrown while construction is going on and recently reported to EPPS by a past client, a newly remodeled bathroom had its shower door open and slam shut repeatedly during the night as well as hearing the sound of something smashing into the wall. In some cases where paranormal activity was not present or not reported, shortly after construction began, the activity became quite evident. |
