I saw 2 ghost figures when I was 3 to 4 years old.
Pretty much every day.
Around the same time and the same place.
I was in my parents bed before the sun rose- I'd often climbed into my parents bed in the morning- it mainly started to become a habit so I could watch the same 2 figures, tall men, chatting away to each other in the doorway, they chatted inaudibly, but their mouths were moving but perhaps I couldn't hear the frequency, they were using polite gestures. I was a little cautious but not scared. After a year or so of that I never saw any spirits like those again.

Phantoms
Are ghosts which so closely resemble the living that they are often not realized as ghosts until they do something uncanny, like walk through a wall.

1) Phantom Hitchhikers - According to many urban legends, these are ghosts who typically interact with the living in such a way that they ask for a ride, and before arriving at the destination, they mysteriously disappear. Usually occurs on the anniversary of their death.

2) Phantom Travelers - Ghosts that are found along a certain route, usually as a result of a deadly accident . They can be riding horses, or prepared to board a train or plane. Most manifest on the anniversary of their death

Apparitions
Ghosts which clearly such are known as apparitions.

1) Atmospheric - Also known as a residual or replay haunting, these are typically seen in only one location repeating a certain action again and again, usually something attached to a traumatic event.

2) Crisis or Deathbed - These appear to family or friends around the time of death. According to Trent Brandon: "They are very common ghost sightings, but almost never occur more than four days after death."

3) Family - Ghosts which are connected to a particular family, they often foretell death and disaster.

4)Haunted Objects - Instead of haunting a location, a particular object is the anchor for a ghost.

5) Photographic - Ghosts that are not seen until after a photo is taken and examined. These MAY include orbs, mists, (ectoplasm) vortexes, shadows and other unusual light or optical effects.

6)Historical - Typically dressed in period clothing and often appear solid.

7)Recurring - Ghosts that appear on a certain time schedule or anniversary; usually annually.

8) Transportation - they are often associated with the final moments of some tragic accident.

9)Marian - What some believe to be appearances of the Virgin Mary. This could also cover cameos by other saints or religious/spiritual figures.

10)Battlefield - Also known as Floating Battlefields, they resemble an actual reenactment of war, but for some reason, they typically occur above the ground. From several to a hundred feet up, in some cases.

11)Grey Ladies - The ghosts of women who died in sadness over love or betrayal. Can be white, grey or black.

12)Radiant Boys - Legend says that these are the spirits of boys murdered by their mothers. Often appear as glowing bright specters.

13)Mirror - These are the apparitions which are seen in the reflections of water, glass, etc. but do not appear as a direct image.

1. Poltergeists
poltergeists are remnants of people who never had a chance to develop their identities. Like infants or mentally disabled people.
A poltergeist cannot converse or communicate with the living but can mimic noises it hears, kind of like a very talented parrot.

2.Graveyard Spectres
Also known as shells or shades, these are believed to be the etheric remnants of a person after death. Commonly found in graveyards days or weeks after a burial, they are scary but not dangerous. Typically seen as dark, shadowy forms they usually do not communicate or talk. Legend has it that people were buried alive in new graveyards to create a guardian.

3.Classic Haunting
Also known as a Entity Haunting.Can be a phantom, apparition, presence, or unexplained events which occur in a certain location.

4.Etheric Revenant - A very rare, but dangerous undead creature that feeds upon energy from the living, it is the original vampire of legend. This is detailed more in John Greer's book "Monsters".

5.Vampires

The four types outlined by Konstantinos are as follows:

Immortal Blood Drinkers - those that have allegedly achieved immortality through the drinking of blood

Mortal Blood Drinkers - those that deal in "vampyrecraft" or performing feats of sorcery based on drinking blood.

Intentional Psychic - those who have mastered how to drain energy from a target in a malevolent fashion through the heart chakra at the astral level. (astral tendrils) May also be through the etheric.

Unintentional Psychic - as above, but done unconsciously.

The third type of haunting, and undoubtedly the most frightening, is a demonic, or inhuman, haunting. In this case, the entity is similar to a traditional haunting because the spirit is intelligent and is existing in the present moment with you. Unfortunately, the emotion that is tying them to the earthly realm is usually anger. These spirits are malevolent and hostile, suffering from psychological instability or distress stemming from an unresolved conflict with the people who are being subjected to the demonic activity. Demonic presences tend to be ‘unleashed' in order for them to manifest. This is one reason why the use of a Ouija Board is customarily discouraged among many ghost hunters.
