Richard went on to explain to us the different types of spirits.
There were the human spirits who were just hanging out because
they weren’t ready to move on yet. Maybe they didn’t even realize
they were dead, or maybe they didn’t want to leave loved ones, or
maybe they had some business they needed to see through. The
reason varied with the spirit, the same way each of our reasons for
attending the class varied person to person. At least, that was the
example he used.
He told us about the nonhuman spirits and said that he wasn’t
going to go into great detail, because the less we knew, the less of a
target we would be for them. But he did explain that anything that
defied the laws of physics, such as a fire spontaneously lighting in
the fireplace, probably meant there was something inhuman and if
that was the case we should call in some experts. Then he inserted
another Lark Hollow Paranormal Research plug. He didn’t really
need to; if I ever saw anything catch on fire out of nowhere, I’d
probably be halfway to California before the call to an investigation
group even reached the second ring.
Then, when Daisy took over with the equipment, I was lost
in a whirlwind of technical mumbo jumbo. They used cameras and
digital voice recorders to pick up photographs, videos and sound
clips of ghosts talking. That much I could understand. But when she
started holding up these little blinking machines that measured
electromagnetic something or other, I found myself as confused as
I’d been in my physics class last semester.
After the first two hours of that, they let us take a ten-minute
bathroom break. While my dad was poking around the table and
trying out their tools, I scooted quickly from the cramped little room.
As I passed by the counter, the guy from earlier asked, “How’s it
going?”
I paused mid-step and turned my body around. “It’s, um, a
lot. But it’s actually kind of interesting. I didn’t know there were
different kinds of spirits. I mean, yeah, I can see the difference
between Slimer and the Keymaster, but that’s not exactly what
we’re looking at here.” He laughed appreciatively. “I hear you. They
