Apparition: The scarcest of paranormal phenomena, the apparition is a full or partial materialization of "spirit energy" (though, there is nothing officially recognized or objectively measured as "spirit energy".) An apparition may be anything that suddenly appears (i.e., becomes apparent). As such, it ranges in form from an orb to a "full-body apparition," the latter of which is synonymous with the popular conception of a ghost. Apparitions can also vary in opacity, from solid to transparent. Some apparitions are not merely forms, either; apparitions that manifest along with a "ghost room" are also said to occur rarely.
