Here are some key points about messenger spirits:
- They often come in the form of a deceased loved one to deliver an important message.
- Messages can be warnings about danger, predictions of future events, or comforting words to grieving loved ones.
- The spirit's goal is to communicate something meaningful, not just to haunt or scare.
- Messenger spirits may come from the deceased, but sometimes the messenger is a spirit guide or angelic being, not necessarily someone who was living.
- Their messages can help provide closure, advice, or reassurance during difficult times. Understanding their purpose can help distinguish them from other types of hauntings.

Db.
Paranormal 3 was inspiring to us because there structure starts of with a equilibrium
because it shows that the family are very close and happy. The film the changes to a
disequilibrium throughout the movie as something starts to happen and we don’t
know what is going on until the family starts to act very strange and different. All of a
sudden the mood has changed. So in our opening sequence we are going to start of
with equilibrium and then change to a disequilibrium as something begins to haunt
someone.

Inspirational Films (Sixth Sense) -1999
Db.
The Sixth Sense was inspiring to because it involves with spirits and scares the
young boy seeing them and this related to our opening sequence as the girl starts
to see the spirit and gets very scared it shows us that the spirits can be anywhere
and tries to haunt you for a reason or tries to send you a message.

Even Better If
• Quite an old drug, not used that much in this time
• Sounds abit like a Thriller – alter things to change to a thriller
• Theme and concept not quite right, needs changing
• So… We changed a little from drugs back to mental illness again, so it can suit out
new genre ‘psychological thriller’
• We also wanted to relate to our audience while scaring them with that character at the
same time
• We canted the theme and concept to relate to the past of the character

16. What does it mean to be
haunted?
There are many definitions:
• Having or showing excessive or compulsive
concern with something
• Showing emotional affliction or disquiet
• Inhabited by or as if by apparitions
17. Sanel
Why Do Spirit Haunt People? G
•Some spirits haunt their previous home. They feel comfortable existing in
the same house that it once inhabited. Some spirits choose to follow a
familiar person or a family member.
•The spirit may now exist with the feeling of fear because it doesn't know
what to do. It usually doesn't intend to scare the living, it is just haunted by
fear of the unknown.
•A spirit who feels it was had lived an evil life when it was alive, may seek
out like-minded evil living people because it feels a kinship to the negative
feeling.
•Even though those spirits may appear evil, they are just frightened. They
often scare the living in order to get attention. They are seeking help, asking
someone to rescue them and guide them to the light.
•The transition that follows physical death is not final until the thought
pattern that holds them earthbound is released and they can see the God
light.
18. Sanel
What type of things can happen to you G
when your haunted?
• You may feel cold
• They might watch what your doing
• They can leave marks on your body
• They can play around with things e.g. Switching on the light or opening the tele.
• They can play tricks on you.
• They can throw things at you.
• Might make freaky noises
• They can touch you
• Sudden changes in mood or behaviour
21. Kaya
The different types of sprits!
Sprits are generally put down into 9 types in correlation to reasons for
still being on the earth. Here are those 9 types…
• Guardian angels
• Lost souls
• Are we dead yet?
• Unfinished business
• Self-appointed guardian angels
• Wasting time between lives
• Messengers
• Still living
22. Kaya
Guardian angels
It is know that everyone has at least one guardian
angel. They are your own ‘Guard’ throughout
your whole life. They are usually some kind of
relation to you that died before you were born.
Most of the time you won't know who they are or
were. They watch over your entire life and help
you out through the rough and dangerous times.
For example, they're the little voice telling you not
to take your usual route the day a huge pile-up
happens on the motorway.
23. Kaya
Lost Souls
These are spirits who know they're dead but don't know
where to go. They can also fear moving on and are afraid to
leave what's known to them. They linger around until the
day comes when they're ready to leave.
24. Kaya
Are we dead yet?
These spirits walk around, going about their lives not knowing
that they've passed on. They wonder why people ignore them
and why nobody comes to visit anymore. This happens more
often with old people who've spent their later years by
themselves.
Example from ‘The others’ the Example from ‘the sixth sense’
old man and woman
25. Kaya
Unfinished business
There can be a number of reasons why certain beings stick
around after death. It is simple that the sprit that has died, did
not complete something in life and once the work is finished, the
deceased usually moves on in peace.
26. Kaya
Self-appointed guardian angel
These are loved ones who stick around after death to watch over
someone. It can be a deceased husband watching over his
elderly wife during the last of her days. It can be a young mother
who died before her time watching over her children as they
grow up.
27. Kaya
Wasting time between lives
As in reincarnation. They're waiting for
the next life to come around. What
better way to waste some time than
being a ghost. Coming and going from
the planes as you please, enjoying
yourself during your
sightseeing, visiting old friends to see
how they're doing, and the list goes on.
They're not here and not there - there
just waiting in between.
28. Kaya
Messenger
These are usually in the form of a
loved one. It can be a warning of
certain danger or future events. It
can also be a spirit coming to
ease the pain from a grieving
loved one. With messengers, the
spirit is not always deceased.
