PostSubject: The Meanings to the Paranormal Vocabulary.   The Meanings to the Paranormal Vocabulary. Icon_minitime7/9/2012, 3:23 pm

I have noticed many myths surround the paranormal and in turn the usage of the terminations used for certain activity and name for spirit are used wrongly.
So I thought i would Put the meanings to the words so they can be understood and hopefully used in their right context.
As many of the words we use in the world of Mediumship and the paranormal do not appear in the dictionary or the meanings we use the words for are not described in the dictionary..


Spirit, Is widely used to describe the energy sensed or seen of a deceased person.

Apparition, Is used to describe the visual sighting of a spirit. A spirit that has been able to show itself in full or in part, of his or her former living self, An apparition can be clear or a bit fuzzy but clear enough to make it out some details.

Ghost, is the same as Apparition,

Poltergeist is widely used to describe a Spirit Most commonly a nasty one, that torments the living, This is wrong!! Poltergeist actually describes the actvity a Spirit does, it is a noisy Spirit, one who makes noise or can move things. Not necessarily Nasty as Myth has it.

Paranormal means that which cannot be logically explained and has no other way of describing what one is witnessing.
To deem something Paranormal is normally a big call.
It needs to be recorded evidence, either EVP and or digitally recorded, examined, for any logical or scientific explanation and have an intelligence factor. ( an intelligent response by spirit to a question just asked)
Otherwise it is deemed of an unknown nature.
The Word Paranormal is widely used to describe anything not of this world.

Demon, This one is contraversial, as it depends on ones beliefs., some believe in Demons some dont.. some believe demons are devilish imps, some believe they are equivelent to the devil himself. some just see them as evil spirit.. Some dont believe in them at all! You make up your own mind on that one.


Shapeshifter This is another one that depends on ones beliefs, Shapeshifters are supposedly spirit who can change forms, from Human to animal or into an, Other worldly Beast.

Shadow People This is a term used to describe a shadowy figure in the form of a human. Shadow People images are regularly caught on Paranormal investigators cameras.

Mist When one talks about seeing a Mist , this can be 9/10 logically explained, the other %1 of the time, it is normally, a not quite formed shadow person. It is the energy of spirit unable to form into a shape.

Orb Orbs are common , many people capture the images of orbs on camera, Many times this can be explained away scientifically, dust particles, over exposure of film, or even dew capturing the light. on the odd occasion it is an Orb of the paranormal kind, it is the light source of spirit energy, some say it is the beginnings of the forming of an apparition.
It is an energy ball of light.

Entity Now this word conjures up evil notions due to a Movie called The Entity..it is a film of something Dark and Evil not of this world... Entity is just another word for a spirit individual.


Residual Energy Describes that which is left behind, something that shows no intelligence, Just a re-play of what was. Some people see this in the form of a spirit doing the same thing over and over and the spirit are oblivious to its surrounds, re-playing a scene over and over, most of the time it is of emotional intensity or has an emotional attachment to the spirit person.
Some people feel the residual energy of a place, the energy that is left behind. On Battle fields one can sometimes hear the guns go off, or the battle cries of the men. This is residual energy.


Energy , Energy is what we all are made up of, it is not paranormal it is physics. Everything on this planet is some form of energy, When using the word Energy in the Paranormal sense, it is talking of the energy left behind of a person once the body is no longer living. It is also used in reference to residual energy, the energy left behind in a place.
Many Psychics and Mediums work with energy.. they are hyper sensative to the energy that surrounds them, this is how they can read / sense energy of spirit.
Or they can go to a place and Know the history, the energy of the place helps them put the jigsaw together.

I am not finished with this list.. But i will get back with more as i think of them. I hope that some of those i have posted are of some help.

Great Thread, DB.

I wanted to also comment on residual energy. It need not come from a spirit or thing from the past. At least, not in my opinion. I've had someone in my house once, who is as my husband & I term her "a psychic vampire". As soon as you meet her, she is just dark and filled with gloom. she has a very heavy dark energy about her.

She happened to stay overnight at our home once. After she left, I cleaned the room, as I normally would, and I could still feel her presence. I thought it was really just 'me'. A few weeks later, we had another guest come to our home, who didn't even know the above woman had been here for a visit and slept in the same guest room.

This new guest had been to our place numerous times and this time she came down to me and said to me, "you know. that room FEELS different to me! It feels very heavy and like I can't catch my breath in it! What happened in there?"

Surprised

I told her about the previous visitor, and you know, I did/could still feel that heaviness in teh room myself, I just didn't realize anyone else would be able to.

So, we did a spiritual cleaning in there, and I also now keep special crystals in there for the same reason--to help keep it free of the heavy dark gloom. the residual energy left behind from people like that psychic vampire.

just more food for thought there.

Absolutely CN, Residual Energy can be left behind by the Living. Like when you walk into someone's home and you just know they have just had an argument, the residual energy is thick. Or the other way round and they were having a good ole belly laugh that too leaves a lovely lightness to a room.

Thanks for adding to our dictionary flower

Ectoplasm Now this stuff has been photographed coming out of mediums orifices, mouth, ears, nose, eyes..etc.. it is a white misty substance, some say is spirit., It is also the white mist you see floating in mid air, it is the beginnings of the formations of an Apparition, a spirit person.
to see the difference of both the first image is coming from a Medium
and the second image is it floating.

Ectoplasm coming out of a medium in a seance

Ectoplasm floating in mid air

Both very different but called the same.


EVP is Electronic Voice Phenomena, Many ghost hunters use this form of evidence gathering technique, By using a highly sensitive recorder, disembodied voice phenomena has been recorded many numerous accounts during ghost investigations. Many times intelligent responses to questions asked.

White Noise White noise is gathered using wireless frequencies, that static in-between radio channels. It is said spirit are on a higher electronic energy frequency to ourselves, the use of radio waves apparently seem to help some spirit come through and communicate..I don't know how true this is, but often I have seen mention that the use of White Noise for communications is not a very positive one, as in, most spirit who do get through are not so nice.
I dont know this for a fact as is have never tried white Noise Personally.
Anyone with any experience in this area I would love to hear from.
