Ecto Mist
EctoMist is essentially now understood to be a swirling mist or fog that is closely associated with the appearance or sighting of spirits, ghosts, or paranormal beings. With modern cameras and technology, there are thousands of images of the Ectomist. Although there are certainly images that are fraudulent or can easily be explained with environmental or scientific reasoning, many of these images are hard to refute.
Now, the term ecto mist is used commonly to describe the swirling mist or vaporous clouds that are often photographed during paranormal investigations or ghost hunts.
It’s more often reported now that cell phone cameras, video cameras, and digital cameras are all staples for ghost hunting.
Usually when photographed, ecto mist usually appears in a bit of a swirl, like the photograph to the right. Some people will say that the mist usually appears 7 or 8 feet off the ground and can move or change form very quickly.
Ecto-mist does not seem to be geographically specific, photographs have been taken in nearly every country and by people of all walks of life. The mist is usually white, gray, or black, but like the picture here can have bits of other colors as well.
Difference Between Ectomist and Ectoplasm
These days the terms are used interchangeably for essentially the same thing. However there is a subtle difference. Ectomist is almost always used only for describing the white or gray mist that is photographed and associated with spirits. Ectoplasm is the more commonly and broadly used term for the photographed or witnessed physical evidence of spirits or paranormal beings.
