Hauntings: When an Intelligent Spirit Haunts Your Home

What Does an Intelligent Spirit Want?

Most of us make the assumption that ghosts and spirits are evil beings that haunt a location to frighten or harm us. Although this may be true of the inhuman spirit, it is generally not true of the intelligent haunt. In this type of haunting, the spirit has a purpose that is probably unrelated to you, although they may be seeking your help to solve their own issues. The intelligent spirit is aware of your presence and usually attempts to communicate with you in some way.

Intelligent spirits are believed to be the energy of a person who died unexpectedly or traumatically. Some paranormal experts believe that this kind of spirit does not know that it is dead and is simply continuing with life as unusual. Others believe the ghost has somehow been trapped between two planes of existence and is unable to move on. Still others believe an intelligent spirit has chosen not to pass on to the realm of spirits because it has strong emotional ties to this world.

Whatever their reason for lingering, intelligent spirits retain the personality and attitude of the person who has passed away. Just a people vary greatly in their personalities and attitudes, the same is true of intelligent spirits. An angry person will leave behind an angry ghost. The spirit of a lively playful individual will remain lively and playful.

Intelligent spirits are most active between the hours of 11:00 pm and 4:00 am, the darkest hours of the night. It is believed that intelligent spirits do not have enough energy to manifest during daylight hours. Even during the darkest times, these spirits may not be able to manifest as a full bodied apparition. There are many reports of cold spots when an intelligent spirit is present. Theories are that the spirit is using the energy from its environment to manifest. Many paranormal investigators report batteries being drained and electronic equipment malfunctioning during an investigation. It is believed that the spirit uses this energy in an attempt to manifest itself.
