The spirits of the dead do not always rest easy. Ghosts are most commonly the result of a traumatic event, whereby the dead refuse to move on due to ‘unfinished business.’ Murder victims may wish for revenge or justice. Lovers may be driven to protect loved ones or seek their forgiveness. Whatever the cause of the spirit’s unrest, it will be a strong motivation or compulsion for them.
Lacking physical bodies, ghosts may appear as solid as the living, or as ephemeral as a wisp of smoke, nonetheless they are more than capable of making their presence felt.
Ghost, Apparition
Apparitions are the most common Ghost to appear and are therefore the most common type of haunting. Often they can be found replaying important moments from their life, or appearing to people that were important to them when alive, perhaps to pass on a message. If replaying a moment from their life, they may be unable to perceive those around them, trapped in a Dreamscape of their own making.
Apparitions are sometimes able to summon illusions, perhaps to pass through a ghostly door that has been bricked up or to share visions of their past.

Ghost, Poltergeist
Imagine being trapped in a world where no one can see you and no one can hear you. You can’t touch or be touched, but you can feel… and it fills you with rage.
Welcome to existence as a Poltergeist. Often mistaken for the burgeoning uncontrolled psychic activity of teenagers, Poltergeists express their rage and frustration with a range of telekinetic abilities. Poltergeists are jealous of the living and will often direct their rage towards them.

Ghost, Wraith
Wraiths were once strong willed and malevolent beings in life and this has carried over into their unlife. They are similar in appearance to Apparitions and are often mistaken as such, until they attack. When they turn aggressive their eyes burn red with malice and their malevolence shines through.
When a ghost enters a room their mere presence causes the ambient temperature to drop. Wraiths go a step further and their chilling ‘touch’ can cause physical harm to the living.
