Past Recreation - Some events leave ripples, and a person may experience a playback of certain events. This is known as a residual haunting. They often include the same activities, noises, and other sensory perceptions repeated over and over again during a period of time. No spirit is involved with this.

*Ghosts can interact with their environment, moving objects, manifesting in areas, making sounds, or even speaking and conversing at low decibel levels.

*Spirits can also appear on film and video. Their manifestations can be recorded via either film or digital imagery techniques, but clear photos and videos are hard to capture. People will rarely see ghosts outside of pictures and video.
