What’s the difference between a Spirit, a Ghost and an Entity?

As a professional Ghost Buster, this is a question that comes my way often. Terminology can be difficult to sort out. Here’s my terminology and explanation:

Spirits make us feel good when they visit

Spirit of Grandma (2) A Spirit is the soul of a person who was alive, lived their life – either richly or poorly – and died. When they died, they saw the most beautiful White Light they’d ever seen, were mesmerized and energized by its beauty and followed it Home, to the Other Side. Once safely on the Other Side any unhappiness, health issues, injuries or emotional baggage is instantaneously resolved. They now live in a place of emotional and spiritual bliss.

Spirits on the Other Side are unobstructed by earthly limitations. When they come to visit us (and they do freely) they come in forms that are familiar to us because they want us to know who they are. Their presence is kind, supportive and full of Love. They will often leave things for us to find. I call them Pennies from Heaven – a feather, a coin, buttons, a scent, repeated number sequences. One woman reported seeing two racoons every night for a week after her parents died and a man constantly saw birds flying towards or by him.

Ghosts can be miserable and often scary

For their own reasons, (and there is always a reason), they stayed behind and became a disembodied soul. This can be a rough place to be.

Because they are between this physical world and the Other Side, they carry with them all of the dis-“ease” they felt when they were alive – anger; fear; mental illness; addictions. Without their bodies, they have nothing to temper these emotions or illnesses with. It can be quite sad really. It can be a very disturbing and trying time for both them and us, who have them in our houses. Most are truly sorry when they find out their behaviour is upsetting. Ghosts can be seen and felt, on a more regular basis, by people who have more finely tuned physical senses.

Entities wreak havoc and enjoy it

Ghost Story 2 (2) An Entity is a being that has been created, from the accumulation of constant negative thinking, negative energy and fear. They go along their merry way gathering as much negative energy as they can. They get stronger over time and they become independent of the original source that created them. They are mischievous in nature, hard to control and even harder to get rid of.

They often change shapes and they are hard to find except when they want to disturb you and your family. They are the ones who will relentlessly poke at the cat and pull your daughter’s pig-tails, just for the fun of it! They don’t care if they are disturbing you and they are not the least bit sorry for it.

One Entity I came across was asked why he was wreaking so much havoc. I heard strongly and clearly, “Because I can!” followed by gales of laughter. Another one was destructive in the home. It ruined a Family Portrait by poking holes in the eyes of all the family members.

Lights, Camera… Action!!

During a trip to the Graveyard, armed with my trusty flashlight, camera and a friend (it’s important to have a friend with you), I ran into a Ghost. I asked him to let us know if he was there by turning on the flashlight – and IT TURNED ON! Then I asked if he was strong enough to materialize. These Orbs are the result.

  Thank you so much Wayne for telling us about your beloved companion. This is a wonderful story about how our Loved Ones come back in Spirit to let us know they are doing well and still with us. It’s also a perfect example of how Spirit wants us to know exactly who they are, when they come from the other side to visit. There is no mistaking that this is your beautiful White German Sheppard. I’m sorry for your loss and happy for you, at the same time, that she can show you how close she still is to you.

    I rented a house from my boss. The first day I moved in, I was standing the the kitchen unpacking dishes and watching the cable guy climb a ladder to connect my cable. Suddenly, I felt as if someone was standing behind me, it gave me chills, I even felt a cold breeze over my right shoulder. I screamed and turned to see who was there and I saw a flash of light zoom by me. I instantly ran out to the repairman and told him someone was inside. (I lived alone). He and I walked through the house and found nothing. At night I would sit on the sofa watching TV and felt as if someone was watching me. I ignored it. Soon the outdoor, motion sensored lights all came on around the house. It was very strange. Then they turned off all at once. I remember telling my coworkers about the crazy things going on in the house and I was told the house was rumored to be haunted. That was crazy to me and I do t believe in ghosts. I could never sleep, I felt as if I was awake most of the night because it felt as if someone was staring at me, even in the dark! One night, I was lying there and I felt the side of the bed go down, as if someone was getting into the bed! I jumped out of bed, in the dark and turned on the light as quickly as I could. No one was there. The other situation that I remember most is the evening, I was actually sleeping and I heard this old, victrola type of music playing! I sat up in bed and looked out to see if someone was possibly in my drive way with a radio blaring. No one was there. I got up and walked down my hallway, at this point I’m angry. I wasn’t afraid at all. The music was louder when I walked into the dining room. I looked around the room looking behind the cabinet, under the table and even in the huge fireplace. The music became louder and I remember screaming “stop it! Whoever you are – just stop it!” The music stopped. I stood there fully aware that I wasn’t alone. I don’t know why I wasn’t afraid anymore, but I wasn’t. I said out loud, something to the effect, “just leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone.”
    
    I lived in this house for 13 months! When I packed up to leave I felt sad. I even feel sad to this day. I feel as if I need to go back there but I haven’t.
    
    (Footnote: I spent at least 5 nights or so at the local Holiday Inn, those nights were intense and I had no other option but leave.)
    
    Let me say this, it was not a ghost, I always used the term an “entity”. I believe that to this day.

      Hi Nancy: Thank you so much for sharing your story. Terminology can get confusing so regardless if you call it an Entity or a Ghost the fact is that you had an Energetic Being with you in that house. Often being infatic about telling them to Stop or Go to the Light, works for a short time. You experienced this. My guess as to why you feel sad about leaving there, is that this Energy Being had saddness as part of it’s energy. We are affected by their energy whether we know it or not. I’m glad you are away from there now and I wish you a gentle and peaceful life.
