To start off, poltergeists are the most famous ghost. According to Lousville Historic Tours, their name comes from the German words "Noisy ghost".

What exactly are orbs? Orbs are believed to be spirits that are spheres of light that float in the air around haunted places. They're even known to follow people around as well. Although you can see them in front of you, they're mostly viewed through camera lenses.
