Types of Ghosts 4, Residual Energy or “Imprints”.
This type of ghost isn’t intelligent, meaning it isn’t a sentient being with its own thoughts, feelings, or form, necessarily. A residual energy ghost or what I also call an “imprint” is more of a supernatural phenomenon instead of an actual spirit. This is when something so traumatic or intense happens that the situation itself is imprinted on the environment. The energy was SO strong that it held onto the energy in that place. These residual energies or imprint ghosts will manifest in a way that the witness will think they are seeing a movie being played on an invisible screen. Often, these residual imprints will replay themselves over and over again in the same place, the same time, and various witnesses will encounter it. A well-known example of this type of haunting is the Battle of Gettysburg in Gettysburg, PA.
