Six Types of Spirits People Can Become When They Pass


Over the last 10 years in my work as a Spiritual Psychic Medium I've learned quite a bit about different types of spirits or ghosts. There are many different types of dark entities but today I’m strictly going to talk about living people that just made their transition out of their physical body.


When someone has a physical death they can no longer inhabit their body. Their energy becomes disconnected and they can no longer “attach” to it.


We all have free will. Every soul has a choice about whether they go into the Light of the afterlife or not. Some don't for a variety of reasons. Here is what I’ve learned about types of departed souls from the almost 7,000 Readings I’ve done so far:


Type #1: A positive soul that quickly and willingly goes right into the Light. They usually have a strong faith and Spirituality is a normal and positive part of their family culture. They excitedly cross, and are often brought over by departed loved ones that surround them. This is the most peaceful type of passage.


Type #2: A positive soul that may need some coaxing to go into the Light. They may not have had strong faith, but they were good people. Atheists or anyone turned off by organized religion commonly fall into this category. These souls are the easiest to help cross. I have held many "Crossing Ceremonies" and once they get a peek at the other side they usually happily cross right over once they see their departed loved ones who have come to help them cross over.


Type #3: A positive soul that was told by their family that they are going to hell. The soul has remorse about the "mistake" but they feel doomed to hell and damnnation so they choose to not walk into the Light because they think it's a portal to hell. I see this mostly with people born in the last 1800’s, early 1900’s when religion was very black and white.

Type #4: A confused soul that dies suddenly and unexpectedly and does not realize they are actually “dead.” This can happen if someone dies in a crash, is murdered, and is in denial about having permanently left their body.

When I connect with these souls the strongest emotion I feel from them is confusion.

Type #5: A soul who knows they died but does not have peace around their passing and feels as if justice has not been done so they don't cross by choice. These souls often stay attached to family, search for a sensitive that can help and frequently create lots of paranormal activity as an attempt to get someone’s attention.

I’ve had murder victims come to me. Some I knew, some I didn’t. The first time I experienced this type of visitation it was a friend's sister who was still a missing person. people who specialize in that. For the 2 weeks she was with me she was still a missing person. She showed me the property where she was buried in a shallow grave, the building on the property, a small pond andan abandoned property. I drew every vision she showed me and saved them all to eventually give her family.


Other times ghosts show up and I have no idea who they are. When they have been murdered they often look mutilated. It's not pretty.

With these souls I usually have a scheduled a reading with a family member coming up. They hang around until I get to their loved one’s Reading. They're not looking to bring dark energy around. They just need a little help. They are usually quite respectful and don't scare me because they know I want to help. They often explain what happened to them in great detail.


Type #6: A dark soul who is disconnected from the White Light of God and intentionally chooses to avoid the Light, both in life and death. These types go straight towards darkness and stay to do harm. They have no interest in being guided to the Light. Not all dark entities are demons. This is a very low level dark entity.



They are deceptive, sneaky and trickster souls that go further and further towards the darkness for their energy source until they ultimately lose their human identity, physical form and they shape-shift into scary looking forms. They have no positive connection to God and often merge with other dark entities to become more powerful.


I don't believe in a Hell as it's been written about in many religious texts. Instead what I've been shown is that dark souls stay here on earth. They are afraid of the Light because they know they'll be held accountable for all the bad, evil things they did in life.


God balances out everything, including karma.They stay here to avoid this. Their energy source is misery and fear.


Eventually Earth will get so hot that humans cannot inhabit it anymore, like Mars. These dark souls will be trapped here even when earth begins to burn up. That is how I see Hell.



Good Spirits usually show themselves in a form made of white or brightly colored light. Dark Spirits take a shadow form and are unable to use the Light. Hopefully this helps you learn to differentiate the types. I diligently use energy protection measures to keep my space and home clear of dark entities and only communicate with Light beings.


If you're having paranormal activity and aren't sure what is happening, I help people remotely via phone & video with figuring out what is there and help resolve the problem if there is one. You can book a private Reading here.

I happily live in Maine with my two dogs and have two adult children. Life took a turn when I had a Near Death Experience in 2015. After that experience, I finally understood my purpose was to help people as a Spiritual Psychic Medium, Soul Coach and Reiki Master Healer.
