INTELLIGENT- A haunting in which the spirit communicates by sound, sight or smell with an intelligent response to questions when asked.

Other types of entities that may be encountered: Aliens-intra/extraterrestrials, interdimensional beings, possible time-travelers, residuals of living people, psychic entities, created thought-forms, elemental beings, astral entities, shadow entities, and others not named.
