In the paranormal world, apparitions and other creatures can appear in many forms. These spirits are not always human-like ghosts that we see in moves. Sometimes they appear in more abstract forms. Some of the most common paranormal appearances are with orbs and mist.

The belief in shadow people, also called shadow men or shadow beings, comes from the Native American tradition. These creatures are much like apparitions, but are said to be more like shadows – hence the name. They are dark forms on your peripheral vision that disappear when you notice them. Unlike ghosts, shadow people are not said to resemble humans, wearing clothing or doing human-like things

Made popular by a movie by the same name, a poltergeist is a ghost or demon that manifests itself by making inanimate objects move. Many times, these creatures are reported as evil, but this is not always the case. A poltergeist is not seen, like a typical apparition, but is only seen through movements of objects it influences.
