Ectoplasm (Vapors and Mists)
A grey or white colored fog that appears alone or right before the appearance of an apparition. It can move alone in all directions, including through physical barriers. It resembles exhaled breath on a cold day or cigarette smoke and is often erroneously identified in ghostly photography. Originally, the term was used to describe clear jelly-like substance remaining after a seance.
Ghost Lights
White, blue, or yellow lights usually seen glowing in the distance. Unexplained, they are known by different names
Orbs
Small sphere-shaped masses of energy believed to be either the beginning of an apparition or a complete manifestation unto itself. They move on their own at various speeds. Usually invisible to the naked eye, they are the most common anomaly captured on film. However, the majority of orbs in photographs can be explained away by other means such as dust, insects, or camera flaws. A photo of an orb with a light trail behind is rare and considered more reliable. Orbs can be found just about anywhere.
Vortexes
Most often spotted indoors, these swirling funnel-shaped mists show up in photographs with a tread-like quality in the body. These anomalies may be spirits themselves, but it is becoming increasingly believed that it is more likely they are a method of transport between two worlds. They are often seen with orbs but have also been spotted alone.
suc·cu·bus (sŭk'yə-bəs
)also suc·cu·ba (-bə)
[Middle English, from Medieval Latin, alteration (influenced by Late Latin incubus, incubus), of Latin succuba, paramour, from succubāre, to lie under, sub-, sub-, + cubāre, to lie down.]
noun: pl., -bus·es or -bi (-bī, -bē), also -bae (-bē, -bī)
A female demon supposed to descend upon and have sexual intercourse with a man while he sleeps.
An evil spirit; a demon.
The succubus is a demon from legend that supposedly preys on mortal men while he sleeps; a sexual vampire of sorts. The actual name has its origins from late Latin- succuba meaning prostitute, which in turn comes from medieval Latin sub cubaire meaning 'that which lies beneath'. The male version is the incubus (from Latin- 'that which lies above'). There are some sources who claim that the succubus and the incubus are one and the same creature who can change form at will to prey on mortals.
In medieval times, the succubus was seen as a fearsome creature who killed her victims by drinking their breath. This is interesting in that, at the time, the breath was seen as a part of the person's spirit, and in doing so, the succubus was thought to be stealing the victim's soul. Later, the habits of the succubus were deemed of a more sexual than vampiric nature, and this notion probably arose from the change in social climate that saw sexual deviancy as a mortal sin, and so, those who committed such a sin against God, were deserving of their fate in some way.
