Know Your Spooks

 

Quick—how do ghosts differ from ghouls? Not sure? You're not alone. Many people will be haunted by a lack of familiarity with the paranormal on Halloween. 


 

But fear not. Well, maybe not. With a little help from SPIRIT Paranormal Investigations and Forgotten Coast Paranormal Investigators, we've compiled a list of terms to help you spook the ghouls out hunting for candy.

 

Apparition: A spirit—you know, a soul—that you can actually see.

Apport: When a spirit causes a solid object to appear.

Demon: An evil spirit. This term apparently once referred to deceased individuals.

Ghost: A spirit that continues to hang out on Earth. 

Ghoul: An evil, grave-robbing spirit.

Haunted: Any place where otherworldly beings do their thing.

Medium: When not speaking to your friends and family, are you communicating with ghosts and spirits? Then you're a medium.

Poltergeist: A ghost prone to making noise and playing pranks. According to Forgotten Coast Paranormal Investigators, they can follow whomever they've chosen to torment.

Supernatural: Happenings beyond the understanding of science.

Witch: A woman with the power to cause supernatural occurrences.

Wraith: A ghost bent on avenging its own death.
