Group 1: Intelligent / Interactive ghosts
As you travel throughout the two rivers region this is the ghost you are most likely to encounter. These spirits demonstrate intelligence and have the ability to interact with humans. They may manifest as historical figures, family loved ones, or even intimate friends who have passed on. Frequently they exhibit the same personality they had in life, and demonstrate a wide range of emotions.
These specters are anxious to make their presence known to humans. They do this by speaking, singing, making noises, and sometimes being visible. Often, we know this ghost is nearby from its lingering scent. The specter’s favorite cologne, cigar or pipe smell, even the aroma of specific foods can identify the spirit and let us know it is nearby.
The guardian angel is a specific kind of intelligent ghost. This spirit with its bright aura is closely aligned with God, and exhibits a strong positive energy. This spirit tends to linger near loved ones or appear to offer aid to those in distress. They watch out for, and offer comfort throughout their lives to those they encounter. Some make their presence known, others remain invisible; yet the individual may feel that someone is looking over his shoulder in a kind and loving way. Although most people assume this is a deceased ancestor or close friend, guardian angels have been known to be former care givers and first responders such as policemen, firemen, teachers, nurses, and pastors.
Another member of interactive ghost category is the clan spirit. These intelligent spirits are attached to specific families. They remain with that particular family for many generations. They are likely considered part of the family, and frequently warn the family of coming calamities. We hear of a few attached to older American families, but they are widely accepted in Scotland, Ireland, and England.
These intelligent spirits have been recorded in significant numbers here in the water shed region of the two rivers. Many accounts involve Intelligent ghosts which are anxious to let you know they are here. The pleasantness of their visit depends on the personality of the ghost
