Fact or Fiction?
Some people believe there are 4 stages of manifestation, others that have been performing paranormal investigations for many years say it is complete twoddle…
Stage 1 - Energy Genesis (or Orbs)
Opaque at the edges but more solid in the middle and not normally visible to the naked eye. Stage 1 ghosts do not have enough energy to do anything else other than show themselves as pinpoint light or orbs. Orbs in photographs are often described as ‘the Casper effect’ after Casper The Friendly Ghost. Temparature and magnetic variations tend not to occur with just an orb. Some times you can see a streak of colour that looks like an orb moving quite fast, this could be a stage 1 ghost in the middle of becoming a stage 2 phenomena.
Stage 2 – Energy Vortex
Energy vortex’s often appear in photos as a cylindrical coil or tube. They are nearly always white in colour but can be a shade of blue. Reports suggest that pink or even dark grey ones can be seen, but this is quite rare.
Stage 3 – Ectoplasm Formation
These can be caught on either photos or videos but tend not to be visable to the naked eye. An ectoplasm formation is a sub-physical form of a ghost and is normally a grey swirling smoke like thing that often resembles a face or even a figure of someone. Temparature and magnetic variations are almost always present with a stage 3 ghost. They can be either slow moving or sporadic in their movement and tend to show up on a camera when a flash is used.
Stage 4 – Manifestation
This is the final stage of a ghosts manifestation and completely manifested ghosts are not always visible to the human eye so a camera or video will definately be needed! At this stage a ghost is known as an apparition which means that it has appeared fully in its true form. It takes a huge amount of energy for a stage 4 ghost to show itself and they can appear as anything from a whispy kind of entity to a fully blown transparant being – possibly even just a limb! Temparature and magnetic variations are likely with this kind of ghost.
