HAUNTING??????

Lets start of with the definition of a haunting in order to understand one must know that their are different types of haunting but first lets discuss what a haunting is. 


haunting- Continually recurring to the mind; unforgettable
To inhabit, visit, or appear to in the form of a ghost or other supernatural being
a haunted place is somewhere inhabited by apparitions or ghosts 
a ghost (or apparition) is a 'spirit'
(these are a few but traditional definition of hunting's)


These definitions reflects peoples culture traditions and beliefs. So in this case a HAUNTING;an apparition may, or may not, be seen. IT varies through out  the world to some you must see it to believe it while others feel you don't have to see a "GHOST" or "SPIRIT" "APPARITION" 


since we establish that even if no apparition is seen, its presence is implied how would we define a haunting that its seen?? Lets change the definitions of the prior ones to a haunting is usually composed of several components or different phenomena. Each component may turn out to have a different, unrelated mundane cause. OR a collection of odd, apparently paranormal, events reported at a particular location, at least some of which have not, on proper investigation, been explained by natural causes.


SO we have established that in many cultures or traditional beliefs you don't have to see a haunting or apparition and if so one must show proof or evidence of any encounter with the paranormal that is non natural causes.


So a ghost (or apparition) is a human figure witnessed which is not apparently physically present


These were different types of definitions for haunting's etc but clearly this answer is different all around the world but it seeks the same meaning.
