Ghost Category 2: Crisis Specters
The most unique quality of the crisis specter is that it usually makes a one-time appearance. This usually occurs when an individual is in a real crisis and under great emotional stresses. During this appearance the ghost may be coming to say goodbye or to comfort the living.
In some cases, the apparition appears at a very specific time of day, such as precisely at 9:35. You learn later that a loved one died at that moment. Other times it appears when the individual is near death as if arriving to help the dying person cross over.
These specters have been recorded during battle, surgery, grisly murders, and accidents. If they appear more than once it is never more than three days after the death of the human. Large numbers of these sightings were reported both during World War Ii and the Vietnam War.
A relate form is the anniversary ghost. This spirit appears on the anniversary of a date which was important to him while alive, such as the day of his death, or the birth of a child.
Yet another form of crisis specter is commonly referred to as a phantom. This contemporary ghost is easily confused with a living person. They appear solid, dress in the normal manner. They are regularly reported in railway stations and even airports where they are seen walking through security totally unnoticed.
