Ghosts
A ghost is the essence of a person that has been left behind after the person dies. They can't touch or move physical objects.when a person walks through a ghost.They have the ability to turn invisible. For courtesy you shouldn't walk through a ghost.
NEVER bring up the topic of their death. It is rude to ask about how the person died unless they bring up the topic first.
NEVER draw attention to the fact that the ghost is no longer among the living. Even mentioning something like eating or drinking could cause the ghost to become offended.
ALWAYS thank the ghost for their time. They like to feel appreciated.
Poltergeist
poltergeists are spirits of chaos.They are fuelled by chaos and will always inhabit places where people frequently gather.ability to interact with the physical world.telling signs that a poltergeist is in your midst:
Banging on the walls or, generally, noises that you cannot explain
Objects suddenly being thrown across rooms, seemingly on their own
Strange, unexplainable smells
Physical attack from unseen forces
the only way to “end” a poltergeist attack is to abandon the place they inhabit. If there are no people, the poltergeist cannot get any power and will effectively fade away. They will not be gone completely, though, just temporarily fizzled. Once people return to the area, they will be empowered again and will be back in action, causing chaos and mischief.They only people to people they respect.
