An intelligent haunting occurs when ghosts or spirits have the ability to communicate through EVP or KII with the living. Essentially, they are able to move objects, usually in an attempt to get attention and they are able to show themselves when asked.
These ghosts are attached for some reason to the area or people they haunt. It's possible that they lived or died in the home, do not realize they are deceased, or perhaps they are simply unable to move on for other reasons. In any case, they simply will not cross over, and may need assistance to do so.
Though this type of haunting is uncommon, it is the most widely accepted form of activity.
One such case of intelligent haunting involves Miss Molly's Bed and Breakfast located in Fort Worth's historic stockyards section above the Star Cafe.
The building itself was constructed in 1910. Over the years it has been home to a boarding house and a bordello in the 1940's. This tidbit would certainly explain why some of the ghosts' have an affinity for men! Being that some of those who are present at Miss Molly's were prostitutes, it would make perfect sense for them to take a lot of interest in the opposite sex then.
Besides prostitutes, there appears to be a tip-giving entity and a young girl who lived at the old hotel are among those who haunt Miss Molly's.
In 2008, the Texas Paranormal Advanced Research Team (TEXPART) investigated reports of the haunting. During their investigation, one team member reported having "a couple of hairs" pulled from the back of his head. Another reported feeling his neck being touched. All investigators had some type of contact to report.
Witnesses have reported seeing shadows, lights turning on and off with no explanation, cold spots, full-bodied apparitions, and the smell of perfume. Item's have come up missing only to later reappear and doors left unlocked can't be opened, as if they are being blocked by an unseen force.
Intellegent ghosts are able to make their presence known in physical ways, whether it be slamming doors, making strange sounds, or being vocal. If it shows itself, it will look the same as it did in life. Scary? Yes. But you shouldn't be afraid of them. It's very possible that all it wants is your company, a little attention.
