Paranormal “U”

Non-Human Entities

Part 1 – Types of Non-Human Entities

By Mark Yount, TnT Paranormal Investigators LLC

There are many non-human entities associated with the paranormal. A non-human entity is described as an entity that was never a human

being. The existence of entities of this type is highly controversial.

Paranormal Investigators who believe in non-human entities usually classify them as Class V entities. The danger of encountering a non-human

entity can include possession, attachment, “bad luck”, sickness, deterioration of health, loss of sanity, and personal harm.

Because the entities have never been human, it is assumed that they are not bound by human morals or responsibilities.

Non-human entities include:

Demons - Creatures of pure malevolence that are also, fortunately, rarely encountered, though their influence can often be seen. If you see one,

the appearance is almost always something bizarre and frightening. Emotional range is from anger to fear, plus a type of self-pity. It is critical

you do not allow openings or channels for them to work through, such as Ouija boards and highly destructive lifestyles.

Angels - These are beings of incomprehensible power and purity. They are very rarely encountered and only in the most extreme

circumstances. Witnesses have consistently reported a feeling of serenity and clarity in their presence.

Orbs - This phenomena usually manifests as a glowing ball of light and appears consistently in a specific location. Rarely does it stay still, but

often bobs and weaves.

Cryptozoology - The realm of fantastic and allegedly mythical animals from dragons to Bigfoot.

Shadow beings - As the name suggests, are characterized by simply a dark black shadow figure. Sometimes the figure is wispy, other times

more solid. The shape is usually a human form, though non-human (possibly animal) shapes have sometimes been reported.

Werewolf – According to folklore, a werewolf is a person who transforms into a cross between man and wolf attributed to a bite, wearing a belt

of wolf fur, a curse or even animalistic desires. Others believe that werewolves are a manifestation of an entity that has no relationship to

humans at all. All cultures have myths of some type of were being.

Poltergeist - Term is German for "noisy ghost". It can be dependent on a certain individual or group of individuals. The activity is usually focused

on the movement of physical objects and tend to be temporary. In some instances a poltergeist can appear as the psychic extension of a person,

usually most common in adolescent females. More recently developed theories move away from ghost activity to the realm of spontaneous

and unconscious (unintended) telekinesis.

Parasitic Entities - Supernatural entities that “leech” the energy of their “hosts.” Victims will feel weak or fatigued, suffer insomnia, and may

become irritable. Unknown whether or not these entities are their own type, or if they belong to other categories (such as demons). Also called

psychic vampires.

Alien, Extraterrestrial – An entity that is not of this world. The entity can be living, or dead, as we would not know. Associated with

experimentation, abduction, and sightings of strange beings or craft.

Part 2 – Elementals

By Jenni Garcia, TnT Paranormal Investigators LLC

Elementals are quite possibly the most well known type of nature spirit. They function harmoniously as life’s energy force in all things in

nature. The 16th century Swiss German alchemist Paracelsus, born Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, sought to

classify these spirits using the four basic building blocks; earth, air, water and fire. Paracelsus was a physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer,

and general occultist and is most known for his medical advancements. He is reported to have traveled throughout Europe as well as going to

Africa and Asia Minor, thus introducing Paracelsus to various older traditions, folklore, and mythologies to which he blended as a means to

present and expound on his personal philosophical system.

In modern magical philosophy elementals are seen as conscious elements inhabiting the physical world. Elementals are thought to be able to

assist in bringing wants and desires to fruition and are important in the practice of nature based religions as well as magical traditions.

Gnome is the name that Paracelsus created to describe the elemental spirits of the earth. Gnome derives from a combination of Latin words

and is itself a contraction of ‘genomus’ or earth-dweller. He also coined the words ‘sylph’ for an air spirit, ‘undine’ for a water spirit and

‘salamander’ for a fire spirit.

Mythically called Gnomes, earth elementals are known by many names including elves, dwarves and goblins. Gnomes are portrayed as

mischievous, grotesque little creatures that are only twelve to eighteen inches tall and dress in green and brown clothing to fit into their forest

surroundings. Gnomes control the Earths soils, rocks and trees and are said to be immensely knowledgeable. Paracelsus claimed that earth

elementals "can be seen scampering out of holes in the stumps of trees and sometimes they vanish by actually dissolving into the tree itself".

Mythically called Sylphs, the name comes from the Greek word "silphe", meaning, "butterfly" or "moth". Sylphs are the spiritual beings that

inhabit the spirit realm of the element Air. Their activities are manifest in the gatherings of clouds, in the blowing of the wind, the downpour of

rain and the formation of snow. They are also responsible for the growth and maturity of all the plant life we see around us. In folklore, Sylphs

appeared in many myths and legends. Some tales tell us that if you listened carefully, they would talk to you on the wind as it passed through

caves and caverns. Its been suggested that the Muses of Greek mythology were Sylphs who had assumed human form in order to guide

humans on a spiritual path. They are associated with the activity of the mind and can influence and inspire human actions.

Mythically called Undines from the Latin word unda "wave" , water elementals are beautifully graceful, emotional and incredibly willing to help

humans. Undines control the waters of the planet, living hidden from the naked eye in sea caves, lakes, rivers, marshlands and waterfalls.

Although appearing in many forms such a mermaids, most Undines resemble humans and wear clothes fabricated from seaweed.

Mythically called Salamanders, fire elementals are said to be the most powerful of all the elementals, controlling emotions such as passion,

anger and love. The term “salamander” comes from an Arabian term meaning “lives in fire. During the winter, they hibernate in the crevices of

wood, contributing to the myth behind their name—Fire salamanders are often seen running out of fireplaces when the log they have been

resting in is put in a fire. Legends said they were born in fire and are immune to fire.
