\"\"<\/a>Specters are usually another name for a ghost, phantom,\u00a0or apparition.\u00a0 It mainly applies to metaphysical energy<\/a> beings who only manifest themselves visually with little other effects. Usually something between a harmless ghost and a dangerous Poltergeist<\/a>. It often describes a shadowy looking entity or one that appears quite menacing. \u00a0Something whose paranormal bark is far bigger than their supernatural bite. A ghost, spirit, or even a low-level demon with minimal power. An entity with the ability to energize photons within our reality to at least appear to a noticeable extent. Even if only a faint transparent hologram like figure.<\/p>\n

Sometimes Specters are caused by metaphysical malfunctions that leave a residual image that may or may not move about. A situation where a deceased person’s soul moves on to the Heavenly afterlife yet they leave behind a lingering ghostly hologram running on a loop. Such an entity has no sapience and eventually runs out of steam before dissipating into nothingness. One sign of such a spectral ghost is the lack of environmental changes such as the air getting colder or energy being drained from the electrical system as seen by flickering lights.<\/p>\n

These malfunctions of the soul are caused by heightened emotions upon death. Something not traumatic enough to form a real ghost. Some sub-conscious unfinished business that isn’t quite enough to prevent a spirit from moving on into the light. When the specter moves it indicates that a ghost was close to forming. The movement is caused by the four-dimensional nature of one’s soul. In essence, several 3-D images appearing to create a movie of sorts.<\/p>\n
