A basic haunting is usually categorized under what experts describe as a Residual Haunting. These types of hauntings are actually theorized as not being Ghosts or Spirits at all, but more as left over energy from a past human’s life. Think of a particular film scene being played over and over again with out having the capability of being stopped, this is what a Residual Haunting is in a ghostly form.

These Paranormal Time Stamps can act upon a schedule or even sporadic and will never acknowledge being seen or have interaction with a living human. Most cases witness a full figure apparition walking from one place to another, some times through walls and even some times through people. If you ever have the chance of witnessing this phenomena, do not be afraid, but think of it more as your chance to Spy on something Paranormal.

Cases of a Residual Haunting are never malevolent or harmful due to the fact that they will never recognize people or objects around them. Some people may hear screaming, talking or in some instances a repeated smell may occur on a daily basis. Whenever you may come across this type of haunting always remember that the reason why it is there is because it was a dramatic instance or in most cases just a memorable  significant point in a signal person’s previous life.

A Residual Haunting usually can never be erased due to the fact that it was created by a collection of energy. Some theories report that certain type of walls such as stones used for European castles have the ability to contain and generate these capsules of energy, but then again some experts tend to disagree with that theory considering modern homes are usually not built with the same material. Another theory I have come across is the findings of Residual Hauntings over a water source. Apparently rivers, pools and small creeks may have the capability to generate a time stamp of energy. I can not say I agree with this notion but then again I have not been able to study it, of course anything in this field is possible.
