Orb- A round light. The easiest shape a ghost can form.

Paranormal- Ghosts, UFOs, etc. Anything "not normal." Things parents say aren't real.

Poltergeist- In German this means "noisy ghost." They are synonymous with mischief and trickery. There are several high profile cases of poltergeist activity. Peeves from Harry Potter is a poltergeist.

Unidentified Flying Object (UFO)- Alien spacecraft. I suppose a UFO could also be ghost lights or something. Afterall, it is "unidentified."

Those are some terms that are very useful in ghost hunting. Sorry to go all "school" on you guys. I tried to make it fun. Did it work?

P.S.- Tomorrow is my birthday!!! I will be ten.
