    I don't know the actual answer you're looking for, but I would cynically add another one or two:

    .

    4) Imaginary. Just like the very next question in this forum, some people think their homes are haunted anytime they see the lights flicker and misplace their iPods.

    .

    5) Fake. It's impossible to know the numbers, but I'd guess that at least 10% of the hauntings you read about here are outright fakes. Excluding the many sincere reports from people who see ghosts in the bedroom that can't be distinguished from dreams and/or hypnagogic/hypnapompic hallucinations, those munbers shoot up sharply. I picked 10% because of a rule of thumb in poker called Harrington's Law, which states that there is never less than a 10% chance that your opponent is bluffing. I find that's a good extrapolation to life as a whole--there's never less than a 10% chance that someone is lying, intentionally or not. That number goes up for used car and house siding/roofing salesmen, and definitely for alien abduction and paranormal haunting stories. I *did* say it's cynical, but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

    Infinity killer sounds the most correct.. those are the only three types I know of... demon ghost or rift... I suppose there is a third type and thats Psychic.. sometimes though very rare it is someone in the house there own psychic energy causing the stuff happening uncontrolled telekenesis sort of thing.
