Paranormal Terminology
TERMINOLOGY Regarding to PARANORMAL:
What are Ghosts, Bhoot, Jin etc?If we know the real/basic meanings of the words or reality then we know what are they, what they are made of, how do they exists & how they live!So If we want to understand them then three things must we have to know and these are:
1st. The real/basic meaning coz if if don't know the real/basic means then we never undersatnd any thing as good as they are,
2nd. Where the logic end there they exists, coz some times they are not in the logic but they exist, just like the word "Belive" ,"Luck" & "GOD" If we put in the logic point of view then logic is not agree on it and
3rd. In this world every thing is based on the good & evil so some creatures are in good category & some are in evil.Here we can just try to make to put them in logic, some are understood and some are not So here we came to try our best to put them in logic and been understood by all.
Actually these are one creature named "JIN" it is a Arabian word which means can't seen creatures or hidden creatures, just difference is that we give them different names. There are three types of Jin's:
(i) Those who fly in the air(hope so these are orbs which are found rarely in the photos).
(ii) Those who are in the snake & dog forum or in other animals forum i-e, Demons, Gora Danch.
(iii) Those who travels & stays mean the Ghosts, Bhoot, Pareat, Baad Ruh etc.
Now there's come a question that how they are same?
Ans: If the Human is also known an Animal just like they are known as a Jin, only the types are different.
As we a muslim and being a muslim, our GOD ALLAH & Holy Book Quran says that the" I created Jins & Humans for MY worships"(alzzaryat; 56), So we say that these all creatures are JIN, The real/basic meaning of JIN is can't seen/Hidden creature/disappearing as explain above before.
In Pakistan, India and in some other countries the people says that the ghosts bhoot jin etc is in his/her body or he got him/her, actually what happen here, first they have a power of mind reading/mind controlling, how can they controll us? Here the came the word Psycho-Kinesis the word came from Tele-Kinesis(From a Greek word meaning any motion that activated from a distance. Technically this could describe remote-controlled toy, so we use the psycho-kinesis for our research) so they can just read/controll our mind and secondly they have very high magnatic frequency(EMF), so when they show there selives or move around us we can't tolerate their frequency, we feel feer and fall ill.
