There are many types of ghosts in the world. At least, there are many stories about ghosts. Legends and lore describe many ways in which a person might end up lingering after death. Some haunt buildings, others replay pieces of their lives, and still more mess with the living. At The Escape Effect, we’re no strangers to the dark and creepy: you can experience our very own ghost story in Fright Before Your Eyes.
Considering the wide variety of haunted tales, have you ever wondered what type of ghost you’ll become when your time is up? Check out the options below to determine which fits you best!
The Earthbound Spirit
A spirit bound to a particular place due to lingering attachment, the earthbound spirit is what many think of when they think of ghosts. If you’re destined to become one, you really love the place where you live. You might also end up with some regrets because you weren’t able to do everything you wanted to do. Uninterested in messing with the living or other undead, you’ll be content to remain in your favorite place. It’s comfortable there after all.
The Shadow Person
Dark figures lurking in the corner of your eye, shadow people are eerie and unsettling. As a shadow person, all anyone would see is a dark silhouette that seems to disappear the moment they blink or something out of the corner of their eye. Shadow people are not necessarily malicious, but they have a mysterious presence. If you like people watching, staying at the edges of the crowd, or traveling alone, you may just end up becoming this type of spirit. Nobody knows what to make of the shadow looking over them, so you’ll definitely leave the living with many questions.
The Poltergeist
A rambunctious and often troublesome ghost, a poltergeist can still interact with the material world. The type of person who becomes one was likely a class clown or other jokester. If you think that’s you, your passion for mischief may persist after death! As a poltergeist, you might not intend to hurt anyone, but you definitely can’t be above giving them a fright. Whether the living fear you or play along, you’ll be content as long as you can have fun!
The Wandering Ghost
A restless soul that isn’t bound in one location, a wandering spirit drifts from place to place. If you become one of these ghosts, there may have been a lot that you didn’t get to see in life or perhaps you really loved traveling. In the afterlife, you’ll get the chance to explore or follow the well-worn paths you walked so many times before. Or, there could be a reason you’ll want or need to voyage, like trying to return home one last time or looking for a family member that you still want to see. Whatever the purpose, it’s certain that you’ll always be on the move!
