| What you may Encounter: There are 2 types of spirits you will encounter. One was a human at one time. These spirits are like the person was when they were alive they could be good or bad not. This human spirit you will encounter 80% of the time. You could encounter a residual haunting which is a playback of a event. This is like watching a video over and over. The other spirit you may encounter are not human and never were they are not generally bad news but they can be. You need be aware of them. I have experienced both types. Be aware and protect yourself. |
