Ghost Hunting Terminology Part 6

Materialization
The procedure through which a ghost appears. Materialization can be sudden or gradual, resulting in an entity that is indistinct or seeminglyquite solid.

Matrixing
The natural tendency of the human mind to add details to sensory input (perceived through the visual, auditory, olfactory or tactile senses) so as to create a familiar or easily understood pattern. In effect, matrixing is mentally "filling in the blanks."

Negative Intenty
The same as an "inhuman entity." An entity that likes to harm human beings.

Ouija Board
A wooden board preprinted with letters, numbers, and words, used by mediums to receive supernatural communications.
