Unfamiliar with the term, I asked for background, supplied in
good detail, as some of you might have
read in Comments to the post "Quartet of Life":
The background:
In the terminology of ghost hunting, residual hauntings, also
known as restligeists (German loan word
from restlich meaning "residual" and geist meaning "ghost"), are
repeated playbacks of auditory, visual,olfactory, and other sensory
phenomena that are attributed to a traumatic event, life-altering
event, or aroutine event of a person or place, like an echo or a
replay of a videotape of past events. Ghost huntersand related
paranormal television programs say that a residual haunting, unlike
an intelligent haunting,
does not directly involve a spiritual entity aware of the living
world and interacting with or responding toit.
One of the first to promulgate the hypothesis of residual
haunting was Thomas Charles Lethbridge inbooks such as Ghost and
Ghoul, written in 1961. The subject was explored in Peter Sasdy's
1972
television play The Stone Tape, written by Nigel Kneale. The
explanation offered in the play is that lightwaves are recorded in
the walls of a building when they interact with brain waves
associated with fear,and the recorded images are reproduced when
triggered by brain waves from a fearful observer. The
popularity of the programme has led to residual haunting
becoming known colloquially as the "StoneTape theory."
Cyril Smith and Simon Best in their book Electromagnetic Man
(1989) wrote:
At death, the whole entity of a person's "acquired" information
field must become separated from thebody which is about to commence
decay, if it is to retain any objective existence in the material
world ...There is the possibility that information could be
"written" into environmental water, such as thatretained in the
stone or brick of a building. The necrotic radiation, if this is
indeed an electromagnetic
phenomenon, could be the origin of such memories in locations
for events which happen there ... This
information might also be holographic in nature and be
interpreted as an actual presence at that point inspace and time,
that is the person might "see a ghost"
RQ: What are the opinions of The Committee on this subject?
C: "We suggest we have no opinion and beg you forgive the
disappointment; we intend none. We
offer but information, opinions to be formed as each pleases and
refers. We digress briefly into the word,'opinion' something rare,
unique and fascinating, as are many things on your Earth. Any
subject,circumstance, place and thing of Earth that penetrates your
awareness does this with partial information;
one of the great benefits of limitation Earth supplies. Thus
ideas and impressions are formed, from thepartial offerings placed
against the database of understanding, itself likewise limited from
having beencompiled by similar process. The sum, the total, the
result and the outcome form opinions, differences and
ideas which generate great opportunity for development,
experience and interactions. We turn to yourquestions, and
apologize for dissatisfaction, if there has been, for our
digression.

All spiritual entities affecting your world are aware of it and
interact, if only through observation.
The descriptions in this definition attempt to attribute
memories and the mind to physical objects andmaterials of the
dimensionality you occupy. The effects described are good; the
causes more basic andabove them; the hauntings are no more than
what is called 'channeling' the haunted perceiver of memoriesis
understanding information supplied by experience, crossing over the
event as the timeline illusion of
Earth, which does not apply away from Earth, is presented.
In the absence of time, events are location; returning to the
location offers opportunity for a return to theevent; which fades
never and remains forever. This does not mean any and all returnees
or visitors to a
place shall perceive past events in a vivid detail as would be
recalled an event in which one participated.Where need and benefit
are necessary, this happens and the perception, the detection of
the events, the
sounds and sights and noises, can be heard if this will be
instrumental to a person visiting.
We suggest the person who shall dislike a place, a house or a
building where others will adore it; one whofinds the places
unpleasant in some way perceives events there to her or his
dislike; others will not
perceive these and would enjoy the location.
The last line of the description is accurate and a good clue
into the process."
