Please tell me what this sort of ghost is called?

Question

In mediaeval European mythology, what name is given to the sort of ghost that is doomed to walk the Earth for ever, haunting a building or wandering around from place to place? How can such a ghost return to Hell, or just expire?

Answer 1

Is a scary ghost. I don't like ghost so much. Now I am having bad dreams tonight because I read this question.

Answer 2

A Ghost is a Spirit which is a Soul the Etheric body that we use to Astral Travel so when we pass over that is what leaves the body. It is understood as a sort of life force body or aura that constitutes the "blueprint" of the physical body, and which sustains the physical body.

Some people don't pass over because of unfinished business
Or they just don't know they have died
Or they didn't know to go to the light
This is what people call a Ghost
I call Spirit some call Lost Souls

You also have a Spirit Guide which has been with you from the time you was born till the day you pass over : )

Do you also know that people that Astral Travel are seen as ghost, so maybe people are seeing ghost maybe are just living people just exploring via Astral travelling : )

Food for thought isn't it ?

Nothing in life is to be feared, It is only to be understood.

Answer 3

spirits have the choice to either go into the next world or stay on earth, they arn't forced to stay or doomed to stay, they are just afraid to go into the next world, they may be searching for something, or they don't want to leave earth. So it's just called a haunting. it's no specific type. But the ghosts you are probobly talking about are just angry ghosts.

to the person who said poltergist, a poltergist is a noisy ghost or a ghost that likes to mess around with the owners of the household. And an evil ghost is considered as a demon.

Answer 4

Poltergeist = an evil or malicious ghost

Wandering ghost is = lost soul
