What is this in this photo? We are talking about the black figure standing in front of the door, that looks like a child in a black snow suit. It is not a living person. Our first thought was that it was a shirt or something hanging on the doorknob. But there was no shirt! It is not something hanging on the doorknob. It is not in the video tape from this room. It was not there ,when we entered the room after taking this shot. Is this an IMP? Why does it look like it is swirling or ringed at the top when we zoom it in? We do not know, but we do know everything that it is not, as we went to painstaking trouble to rule out any explanation for it. This came from a case In Tampa about a year and a half ago. Is this one of the non human entities discussed below?
What are non human entities? Well, basicly, they are anything, that is not a human spirit, and that seems to have intelligence and interacts with the living. Often non human entities are not so benevolent. Some are harmless and some are quite troublesome. We do not know much about these other spirit life forms. There are some that we have run across over the years. The shadow man is one of those entities, which I personally, think is a non human spirit, a spirit from another dimension or plane that comes to this plane, sort of like a bounty hunter looking for troublesome ghosts or spirits that have overstayed their time on this plane. Shadow men are usually harmless to the living and are usually just there, stalking the spirit they are after Not all entities which display as black masses are evil in nature. We have been conditioned to think that black is evil, white is good, but it's not that cut and dried.
Another entity which we have encountered more than once, is what we call an "Imp". An imp, is a spirit which appears to be smalll in stature, about three feet tall, and they like to appear and sound like children, as to get your sympathy or trust. Sometimes they will display as a child spirit, but most times they appear as a small black entity, that is very dense and may appear to have mass. They may sound like children when you hear them, but if you get that voice on tape as we have before, and you take it into the computer software and enhance it a bit, so it is clear, then you will hear the real tone of the voice. Then you can hear the strange tone of the voice that sounds more like that of a human dwarf's voice. Sort of like the little lady, from the old Poltergeist movie. The voice has an older sound but just with a high pitch that at first may sound like a child's voice.
Imps can be dangerous spirits because people perceive them to be child spirits, and they open the door to them, through sympathy and maternal instincts. The Imp, will then play that up for all it's worth and settle in, soaking up that energy and attention until, eventually they become a real problem, causing extreme activity in the home and that activity goes from harmless mischief to malevolent destructiveness. Imps will sometimes team up with human ghosts and other entities and form a posse, that pools their energy and creates even more powerful physical activity. It is our opinion that Imps should always be run off from a home if possible, as their nature is fickle, unpredictable and tends to get mean over time.
As I said before, we know very little if anything about non human entities. Some are thought to be elementals, some are animal spirits perhaps, and there are probably many other things, that we can not even concieve of yet, that populate different planes of existence and happen to visit this plane from time to time. There are some people in this field who think that sometimes, what we may think is a spirit, may actually have an extraterrestrial origin. The jury is stil out on all of these questions.
Most religious systems seem to have their concept of an entity, known as a demon. Demons are thought to be evil, non human entities, here to torment and sometimes even possess people. Now in 31 years, in this field, I have not come across one of these, but that s not to say they don't exist. I do believe that they are not as common as some would have us believe and that many entities thought to be demons, are actually just very angry, and powerful human spirits, with an axe to grind. Human spirits are perfectly capable of being "evil" spirits if they are so inclined. Not every evil spirit is a demon. What many people don't know, is that human spirits can integrate with a living person and influence them to a point, where they are almost possessed by that spirit. I do not think full possession is possible for a human spirit to attain over a living person.
Over the years, I have received reports of a myriad of strange entities of all kinds. Some seem to be more common than others and some seem to be exclusive in these reports. We have absolutely no idea of how many or what kind of interdimensional beings exist, or what they are. We are still just beginning to develope some theories about the realm of human spirit, for that matter. There are those like myself, who will continue to research paranormal entities, seeking answers. Some of these answers may never be found. Perhaps there is a limit on what we are allowed to know or discover in this life. It is human nature to question that which we do not understand, and things we experience that seem to be out of place or unknown to us.
Fear is also part of human nature and sometimes serves to make us vulnerable to things. On the other hand, it is also fear, that may keep us safe at times, as we will not be as eager to approach or interact with things we fear. I am sure that there are some things that are just better left alone, and in that case we are better off ignoring them and going about our business. I think as the paranormal field progresses, we will learn more about safe and unsafe interactions with non human entities. Until then, we will search, question and wonder about the things in heaven and earth that are outside of our realm of knowledge or understanding.
These are spirits and entities that are brought into our plane by living people that summon them or call them out. People play with Ouija boards, they toy with spirit rituals, and they play around doing evp sessions in their homes and in other places. All of these things open a door to the other side and issue an invitation to whoever, or whatever is hanging around waiting for a way in. Most times it is not a good spirit that walks through that door either. Most opportunists have an agenda of their own. Most people who open these doors do not know how to close them which allows for even more errant spirits to gain access to their realm. Never summon anything, as you may get something much worse than you had bargained for and wind up in a bad situation. Many an amateur ghost hunter has gotten into trouble with spirits this way as well. Never provoke a spirit to come out and put on a show, as again, it may land you into trouble. Educate your children about this kind of thing too, as kids often play these parlor games and nowadays they want to do what they see on TV.Kids are the most vulnerable to harm and spirit attachment. Talk to your kids about what they see on TV, as far as Ghost hunting shows and tell them, it is not something to do for fun or kicks. For more information on this please see the following website...
