See "General Extra Sensory Perception".

* Ghost:
People tend to put Ghost and Spirit in the same category and definition, even at Ghost Tracker we have found ourselves switching back and forth from Ghost to Spirit when talking about them because they both basically get the same idea across.. But most paranormal researchers distinguish the two by these definitions:

A Ghost usually refers to a residual energy of a person, animal, or even an inanimate object that has been imprinted in the location, only to be played over and over again like a recording in time. Unlike Spirits, Ghosts don't seem to interact. [See "Spirit" for more info on them.] When a person has preformed events over and over again in a location they tend to leave a psychic impression on the area, which sometimes stays in the location long after that person has passed on. Traumatic events in a location may also leave a strong psychic impression on the area (Like people seeing soldiers fighting battles on battlefields, etc..)

* Ghost Hunter/Investigator:
A person or group who tries to record evidence of spirit or ghosts. This may be done by means of photography, video, EMF (Electro Magnetic Field)/Thermo readings, trying to capture EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) on recordings, and other means.

* Ghost Hunt/Investigation:
A ghost hunt is an attempt to capture spirit activity in a location not known to be haunted. A ghost investigation is an attempt to capture spirit activity usually at a location already known, or presumed to be haunted.

* Glossolalia:
Fabricated and nonmeaningful speech, especially such speech associated with a trance state or certain schizophrenic syndromes. Also known as "speaking in tongues". [Also see "Xenoglossy" for more info.]

* Guardian Angel:
An angel believed to have special affection and protection for a particular individual. [Also see "Spirit Guide" for more info.]
