TRADITIONAL HAUNTING  In this type of case, the ghost is there because of some sort of connection to the location or the people there. Often it is a person who once lived on or near the property. This ghost may manifest itself in several ways from opening and/or closing doors, to strange sounds, voices, and/or cold spots. The ghost may materialize before the occupants and/or try to interact with them. Generally, this type of ghost seeks the attention of the living occupant much like a child seeking the attention of an adult.

RESIDUAL HAUNTINGS are like watching a video and hitting rewind to watch over the same part over and over again, They tend to gradually fade out over time and sometimes they never come back, the most common type of a residual haunting would be something like a battle or war fought a long time ago, There is no spirits involved in a residual haunting, its more like something that has been recorded by a traumatic event.

Video and audio tapes capture sounds and images on a film of special material that has been oxidized or rusted. Certain building materials, such as slate used in older castles and stone structures and iron nails used in many older buildings, have properties similar to that of the tapes.
