Article 50 - Haunting

Canon 3785 (link)

Haunting is the term used to define the presence of one or more Ghosts inhabiting a building or location. A Haunting are defined as either Residual or Intelligent.

Canon 3786 (link)

The most common form of Haunting is a Residual Haunting which involves the repeated playback of auditory, visual and other sensory phenomena of previous events without apparent intelligent awareness of the living world and interacting with or responding to it.

Canon 3787 (link)

The least common form of Haunting is an Intelligent Haunting which involves one or more Ghosts residing in a building or location, aware of the living world and capable of interacting with or responding to it.

Canon 3788 (link)

As the universe is Unique Collective Awareness in motion, nothing concerning haunting contravenes the law of Nature. All phenomena may be explained as either one of three things: (1) Genuine Haunting; (2) Misinterpretation of Natural Phenomena or (3) Fraud and Hoax.

Canon 3789 (link)

Not all events that repeat as Residual Haunting are formed by traumatic events. However, heightened emotional state and the presence of a charged environment appear preconditions for the imprinting of a memory that may replay in years to come as a Residual Haunting.

Canon 3790 (link)

A Building of significance and age may have several forms of Residual Haunting as well as Intelligent Haunting at the same time.

Canon 3791 (link)

The most common form of Intelligent Haunting is when one or more spirits return to significant older buildings as favorite places during their lives, not necessarily places of extreme brutality and violence.

Canon 3792 (link)

The site of extreme brutality and violence does not always mean there will automatically be Intelligent Haunting, but often Residual Haunting mistaken for intelligent.

Canon 3793 (link)

The most common entry and manifestation of a ghost into a room during a haunting is not through a doorway, but right angle corners of the ceiling representing the strongest electro-magnetic field points of in a square room.

Canon 3794 (link)

It does not follow that a spirit needs to have had an association with a location in life to take up residence as an Intelligent Haunting. A spirit may be attracted to a location for a number of reasons. However, the most common reasons for an Intelligent Haunting is the presence of some remains of the body of the deceased spirit still present, some history and association with the location, or some item of furniture or property within the location of personal significance.
