Residual v. active hauntings

In this Hollow Hill podcast, Fiona Broome talks about the difference between an active haunting (where there is a ghost) and residual energy hauntings, which are simply stored energy.

The simplest way to tell the difference? Try to interact with the spirit that seems to be there.  If he or she responds — and differently, each time, as if someone is actually there — someone probably is.

The vast majority of hauntings are actually residual energy.  No spirit is actually present, but the energy of events lingers… to amuse or terrify those who visit.
