*leaving a residue that remains effective for some time. Lasting, enduring, lingering*.
Residual hauntings (also referred to as IMPRINT hauntings) are usually benevolent in nature (non aggressive). Negative energy is blasted into the atmosphere as a result of past trauma. The entities themselves unaware of what is taking place. A residual haunting will repeat itself over and over like a video loop, seeing the location exactly as it was at the time they dwelled there.
These spirits may manifest as full or partial apparitions, light anomalies, such as tunnels or cone shaped light, orbs and may also include poltergeist phenomena.
Residual hauntings are often the result of premature and violent death for example a murder or asssault situation*.
