The Putnam Hotel occupies a significant position within the urban landscape of DeLand, Florida, representing both an artifact of the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century hotel construction era and a location marked by mysterious death, unsolved circumstances, and sustained paranormal manifestations of considerable intensity. Originally constructed during Florida's rapid commercial development and urban expansion, the hotel was designed and built to serve the traveling public, merchant visitors, and business professionals seeking accommodations in the growing city of DeLand. The structure embodies the architectural sensibilities and construction standards of the Gilded Age hotel building tradition, with multiple stories, numerous guest rooms distributed throughout upper floors, hallways connecting various sections of the building, and a ground-floor lobby and service areas serving guests and staff members. The hotel's physical organization and spatial hierarchy created conditions in which various tragic events, personal conflicts, and circumstances of death would eventually occur within its confined spaces during its long operational history. The Putnam Hotel's operational history during the twentieth century was characterized by significant transitions in ownership and purpose, eventually leading to the building's abandonment and deterioration as the hotel ceased functioning as a commercial lodging establishment. The central historical mystery and primary focus of paranormal investigation involves the death of Elmyra Winfield, who died under circumstances of considerable ambiguity and violence when she was pushed from a fire escape in the year 1984, an event during the latter phases of the hotel's operational history as a functioning commercial establishment. The circumstances surrounding Winfield's death generated substantial questions about the nature of her fall, the agency responsible for her being pushed, and the sequence of events culminating in her fatal descent from the fire escape structure. This violent and untimely death appears to have imprinted itself upon the physical spaces of the hotel with sufficient emotional and psychological intensity to sustain continued paranormal manifestations decades after the fatal event. Beyond Elmyra Winfield's documented death, paranormal investigations have documented evidence suggesting the presence of at least one additional spirit entity within the building, indicating that multiple deaths or tragic circumstances have occurred within the Putnam Hotel's spaces. The paranormal phenomena documented within the Putnam Hotel manifest across the building's multiple floors and spaces, with particular concentration of activity on the sixth floor, identified as the most actively haunted section of the structure. A pervasive sense of sadness and melancholy permeates the building's interior, creating an emotional atmosphere that visitors and investigators consistently report as profoundly affecting and emotionally oppressive. Shadowy figures appear and move through hallways and rooms without corresponding physical explanation, suggesting the manifestation of spiritual entities. Whistling sounds emanate from various locations without discernible source, adding auditory dimension to the documented paranormal activity. Footsteps echo through corridors and stairways with apparent purposefulness and deliberate movement patterns. Unexplained noises of various qualities and origins manifest throughout the structure, including sounds resisting conventional explanation based on settling, wind, or animal activity. Electromagnetic fluctuations detected through paranormal investigation equipment suggest the presence of electrical and energetic anomalies associated with spiritual manifestations. The Putnam Hotel continues to generate significant paranormal phenomena that attract ongoing investigation and research.

The Old DeLand Memorial Hospital stands as a significant architectural and medical landmark in DeLand, Florida, a building that once served as a beacon of hope and scientific advancement during an era when hospital care represented the frontier of medical treatment and institutional care. Constructed to serve the growing population of central Florida, the hospital embodied the optimistic vision of medical progress that characterized early twentieth-century American healthcare facilities. The building's design incorporated architectural elements considered essential for hospital function, with multiple patient floors, surgical suites, administrative offices, and all the infrastructure required to provide comprehensive medical services to the community. The structure witnessed countless scenes of human suffering and survival, moments of desperation and relief, as families and patients sought healing within its walls. Doctors and nurses worked tirelessly within the building's rooms, applying medical knowledge of their era to alleviate suffering, though the limitations of early twentieth-century medicine meant many patients did not achieve recovery. The hospital served the DeLand community faithfully through decades of medical practice, establishing itself as a trusted institution integral to local healthcare. Like many older hospitals, Old DeLand Memorial Hospital became associated with paranormal phenomena rooted in the suffering and death that inevitably accompanies medical institutions. Unknown spirits, identified through their persistent presence rather than through historical documentation, are believed to occupy the building. Some of these entities are thought to be former patients whose deaths occurred within the hospital's walls, individuals whose final moments were spent in fear, pain, or desperation. Others may include medical personnel who spent so much of their lives serving within these halls that departure became impossible even after physical death. The spirits do not demonstrate hostile intent but rather suggest a confusion or reluctance regarding transition from the physical to spiritual realm. The grounds surrounding the hospital, including a gazebo structure that once served recreational functions, contain energy imprinted by the building's history. Transparent figures are observed moving past windows on upper floors, visible silhouettes of human form that become invisible upon closer inspection. Ghostly figures walk the hospital grounds, particularly the exterior areas and landscaped spaces, their movements consistent with the deliberate stride of purposeful individuals. Objects within the hospital shift and shake without external force, with equipment, furniture, and furnishings moving independently of natural causes. Photographs taken within and around the facility frequently capture unexplained phenomena, including orbs of light and formations resembling ectoplasm that appear in images but were not visible to the naked eye at the time of photography. Visitors and investigators consistently report experiencing intense feelings of fear and dread in certain areas, emotions not connected to conscious thought but arising spontaneously from exposure to locations of concentrated paranormal energy. The building remains a subject of active paranormal investigation and documentation, with researchers continuing to study the phenomena that distinguish Old DeLand Memorial Hospital as one of central Florida's most authentically haunted locations.

The Artisan Inn occupies a corner location in downtown DeLand, Florida, a historic hotel constructed in 1927 during the era of Florida's first major real estate and development boom. The building represents the architectural and decorative sensibilities of the Roaring Twenties, featuring the period fixtures, materials, and design elements characteristic of upscale hospitality architecture during an era when Florida was marketed aggressively as a destination for Northern wealth seeking winter refuge. The hotel was designed to accommodate prosperous visitors from colder climates who came to Florida during the winter months, with the bulk of the guest population arriving seasonally from November through March. The structure contains approximately one hundred rooms arranged around interior corridors and public spaces including a substantial banquet hall and dining facilities designed to serve the seasonal guest population. The building's architecture reflects confident optimism regarding Florida's economic future and the durability of the real estate market that would subsequently collapse during the Great Depression, creating economic distress that paradoxically may have contributed to the conditions that transformed the building into one of Florida's most prominently haunted locations. The paranormal reputation of the Artisan Inn rests on the documented presence of an unusually large number of distinct entities inhabiting the structure, with paranormal researchers and mediums who have investigated the building providing estimates ranging from nine to thirteen separate spirits maintaining continued presence within the hotel's spaces. The entities are theorized to represent individuals who died within the hotel during its one-hundred-year operational history, including guests who suffered sudden fatal illnesses, accidents that occurred within the building, and possibly workers or service staff who met untimely ends within the structure. The specific identities and historical circumstances of most of these entities remain unknown, as comprehensive historical records documenting deaths occurring at the hotel are incomplete or unavailable. The diverse nature of the entities suggests that the hotel may have been the site of multiple tragic incidents, each of which generated sufficient emotional trauma or unfinished business to anchor spirits to the location. Room 002 has become specifically identified as the epicenter of paranormal activity within the hotel, generating the most intense and frequent manifestations of any single space within the structure. Guests and paranormal investigators have documented aggressive poltergeist activity in this room, characterized by objects moving of their own accord, items being thrown across rooms, and manifestations of physical force apparently directed at occupants or investigators. One investigation documented by paranormal researchers captured evidence of furniture moving across the room without apparent physical causation, with multiple witnesses observing the phenomena simultaneously. The poltergeist activity in Room 002 is not consistently present but rather appears to occur in response to specific trigger conditions, suggesting intelligent responsiveness to particular individuals or circumstances rather than random or residual manifestation patterns. Investigators have speculated that the entity or entities associated with Room 002 may have been female, possibly a worker or guest associated with the room during the hotel's earlier history, though definitive identification remains speculative. Paranormal mediums who have conducted investigations at the Artisan Inn have provided accounts of encountering spirits during their sessions, though the interpretations vary regarding the specific identities and circumstances of the entities. One medium reported sensing the presence of a prostitute, suggesting possible association with illicit activities that may have occurred at the hotel during its operational history. Another sensitive reported encountering the spirit of a young girl, raising questions regarding any deaths of children that may have occurred within the hotel's spaces. A third account described sensing a worker or service staff member, possibly indicating that some of the building's spirit population may represent employees rather than guests. These accounts remain speculative and subjective, lacking the corroboration that would enable definitive historical confirmation, yet they provide suggestive evidence regarding the diverse circumstances and backgrounds of the entities inhabiting the structure. The paranormal activity at the Artisan Inn manifests with pronounced seasonal variation, with the most intense manifestations and frequent occurrences reported during the winter months from November through March, precisely the period when the hotel traditionally accommodated its largest guest populations during its early operational history. This temporal pattern is striking in its specificity and suggests that the entities maintaining presence at the hotel may respond to or be activated by the presence of living guests, or alternatively, that the spirits retain memory or awareness of the seasonal rhythms that characterized the hotel's most vibrant period of occupancy. The winter-season intensification of paranormal activity has been documented across multiple investigation seasons, appearing in reports from independent paranormal research teams as well as in accounts from long-term hotel staff. During the off-season months of summer and early fall, the paranormal activity diminishes noticeably, though it does not cease entirely, suggesting that the spirits remain present year-round but become more manifest and active in response to the seasonal influx of guests. Disembodied voices have been captured in electronic recordings made throughout the building, with audio evidence suggesting conversations between multiple entities or direct communication directed toward living investigators and occupants. The voices are typically indistinct and fragmented, though some researchers have interpreted phrases as requests for assistance, expressions of confusion regarding the speaker's circumstances, or emotional outbursts suggesting distress or anguish. Multiple investigation teams have reported similar voice phenomena across different seasons and investigation periods, supporting the interpretation that authentic paranormal communication is occurring rather than random audio artifacts or environmental noise being misinterpreted as spirit voices. The banquet hall and dining facilities appear to generate particularly concentrated voice phenomena, with recordings from these locations capturing what sounds like conversations among multiple individuals despite the spaces being unoccupied at the time of recording. Apparition sightings have been reported by guests, staff, and paranormal investigators, with descriptions of full-bodied manifestations appearing in guest rooms, hallways, and public spaces throughout the hotel. Some accounts describe apparitions dressed in period clothing consistent with the 1920s-1930s era, suggesting spirits retaining detailed memories of their appearance during their living years. Other sightings describe shadowy or indistinct figures, interpreted as entities whose manifestations lack sufficient energetic power or are intentionally obscured from clear observation. The apparitions are reported with particular frequency in the upper floor corridors and guest room areas, creating an environment in which overnight guests often report uneasy sensations and experiences suggesting supernatural presence despite not having prior knowledge of the building's haunted reputation. Unexplained lights have been documented photographically and in witness accounts, with balls of mysterious light appearing in rooms where no light source capable of producing such phenomena is present. These phenomena, sometimes referred to as "orbs" in paranormal investigation terminology, have been captured in photographs taken by guests and investigators using standard digital cameras, producing images of spherical light formations that remain unexplained. Some paranormal researchers interpret these phenomena as manifestations of paranormal energy, while skeptical investigators attribute them to camera artifacts or light reflections from dust particles. The consistency of orb phenomena across multiple photographs and investigation sessions at the Artisan Inn, however, suggests authenticity that cannot be entirely dismissed as photographic artifact. Shadow figures have been observed moving through corridors and appearing in rooms, described as humanoid shapes composed of darkness or shadow rather than lit matter. These manifestations are particularly unsettling to witnesses, as the figures move with apparent purpose and intelligence, suggesting entities aware of their surroundings and engaged in activities related to navigation through the building's spaces. The shadow figures are reported most frequently in the first-floor hallway and the grand banquet room, creating an atmosphere in which occupants feel watched or observed by unseen intelligences. The frequency and consistency of shadow figure reports across multiple investigation sessions supports the interpretation that these manifestations represent authentic paranormal phenomena rather than misidentification of shadows cast by living individuals or ordinary objects. Today, the Artisan Inn operates as a historic hotel with a strong paranormal reputation that has become a significant aspect of its market identity and visitor attraction. The hotel actively acknowledges its haunted status in promotional materials and offers paranormal investigation opportunities and ghost tours to visitors interested in supernatural phenomena. The seasonal nature of guest occupancy continues to structure the hotel's operational patterns, with winter months bringing peak visitor numbers and maximum paranormal activity. Professional paranormal investigation organizations regularly conduct formal investigations at the hotel, working with management to document manifestations and gather evidence regarding the building's supernatural residents. The Artisan Inn has been featured in paranormal investigation programming and paranormal-focused travel guides, establishing its status as one of Florida's most significant haunted locations. The structure thus occupies the unique position of operating simultaneously as a functional hospitality facility and as an active paranormal investigation destination, with guests arriving explicitly to experience the building's supernatural character.

DeLand, Florida represents a distinctive community located in the central region of the state, established during the late nineteenth century as a planned community with aspirations toward cultural refinement, educational advancement, and economic development beyond the primarily agricultural industries that characterized much of Florida's historical economy. The town was founded by Henry DeLand, a visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist who sought to establish a community that would attract educated, prosperous residents and that would facilitate intellectual and cultural activities comparable to those available in established northern cities. The community developed with careful attention to urban planning, the establishment of educational institutions, and the creation of cultural amenities that would distinguish DeLand from other Florida communities developing during the same era. The architectural heritage of DeLand reflects the ambitions of its founder and the communities it attracted, with a downtown district containing structures from multiple historical periods. Throughout its history, DeLand has housed numerous buildings and structures that have served varied functions in support of community life and commerce. Many of these structures, built during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, have accumulated complex histories involving multiple owners, changing uses, and diverse populations of residents, workers, and visitors. The physical structures themselves, ranging from modest commercial buildings to more substantial residential properties and institutional facilities, contain within their walls the accumulated emotional residue of countless human experiences. Staff members, residents, and business operators who have inhabited these spaces have brought their own hopes, disappointments, relationships, and personal dramas to bear upon the physical environment, creating layers of accumulated human experience that some paranormal researchers believe may contribute to the manifestation of supernatural phenomena. The dense concentration of human activity within a relatively compact downtown area, combined with the historical significance of many structures, may create conditions favorable to the accumulation and concentration of paranormal phenomena. Paranormal activity within DeLand and its various buildings appears to manifest in forms consistent with poltergeist activity, a category of supernatural phenomena distinguished by apparently purposeful manipulation of physical objects and the manifestation of noise and commotion in the absence of identifiable human agents. The phenomena documented in DeLand structures include cold spots that appear and disappear within specific locations, unusual temperature variations that cannot be explained by environmental factors or weather conditions. Running footsteps have been audibly documented in buildings when no living persons are present. Loud noises, including banging sounds, knocking, and inexplicable mechanical or structural noises, manifest during daytime hours when the buildings are occupied and operational, creating confusion among staff members who cannot identify sources for the disturbances. The characterization of the activity as mischievous suggests that observers perceive a quality of playfulness or intentional disruption in the manifestations. DeLand continues to thrive as a community and tourist destination, with the downtown district attracting visitors interested in the town's historical architecture, cultural institutions, and recreational opportunities. The paranormal reputation of various buildings and structures within DeLand has contributed to the community's appeal to paranormal enthusiasts and ghost hunters, with some visitors explicitly seeking establishments known to be associated with paranormal activity. The continued manifestation of poltergeist-type phenomena in DeLand buildings suggests that the mischievous entity or entities responsible for the activity remain active and engaged with the physical environment. DeLand thus represents a location where the boundary between the physical and paranormal worlds appears particularly permeable, where mischievous spirits continue to interact with the living inhabitants of a community whose prosperity and growth have created the conditions favorable for complex human experiences and the accumulation of supernatural phenomena.

Hulley Tower at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida, stands as a distinctive architectural landmark on the campus of one of Florida's oldest and most prestigious private universities, a structure that serves simultaneously as a physical monument to the university's founding leadership and as a recognized focal point for paranormal phenomena that have persisted since its construction. The tower was constructed in 1934 specifically as a mausoleum and memorial dedicated to Lincoln Hulley, a visionary educator and religious leader who served as Stetson University's founding principal and first president, guiding the institution through its formative decades and establishing educational and philosophical traditions that would characterize the university for subsequent generations. Lincoln Hulley's contribution to Stetson University and to higher education in Florida earned him sufficient esteem that the university honored his legacy through the construction of an imposing tower that combined functional architecture with ceremonial and commemorative purpose. The tower's placement on prominent campus grounds and its architectural prominence ensured that Hulley's legacy would remain visibly central to the university's identity and self-presentation. The construction of Hulley Tower as a mausoleum represented a significant institutional decision, establishing Lincoln Hulley's remains as eternally present within the university's physical geography and spiritual landscape. The tower's design incorporated elements of classical architectural tradition while adapting these traditions to the late-nineteenth-century American context and the specific requirements of a university memorial. The physical structure itself became invested with ceremonial significance, transformed from merely a building into a sacred space where the university's history and values became embodied in stone and architecture. The mausoleum ultimately contained the remains of Lincoln Hulley and his wife Eloise Hulley, joining the university president's spouse in eternal interment within the tower's chambers, creating a familial presence within the structure. Suzanna Brown, another individual whose remains were incorporated into Hulley Tower's burial spaces, added to the complexity of the spiritual presence concentrated within the tower structure. Shortly after the completion of Hulley Tower and the formal interment of the deceased within its chambers, reports began emerging from students and staff describing paranormal phenomena associated with the structure. Shadow figures have been observed moving across the tower grounds with apparent intentionality, materializing from shadows and darkness before dissipating back into obscurity. These shadowy entities have been described as ascending and descending the tower's stairs with what witnesses interpret as purposeful movement, suggesting not random manifestations but rather deliberate navigation of the tower's interior spaces. Full-bodied apparitions have been reported, though these manifestations appear less frequently than shadow figures and exist with somewhat greater definition and perceptual clarity. A particularly compelling report describes ghostly figures identified as Lincoln and Eloise Hulley, apparently still bound together by the marital connection that existed during their physical lives, observed walking within the tower's grounds accompanied by what witnesses describe as a phantom dog, suggesting that the spiritual presence encompasses more than merely human entities. Mysterous bells, understood by contemporary observers as part of the tower's ceremonial architecture, ring spontaneously without any visible agent activating them or any mechanism explaining the auditory phenomenon. These bell rings occur without pattern or predictable schedule, emerging from silence at unexpected moments to startle observers and announce presence through sound. Disembodied voices emanate from the tower and surrounding grounds, speaking in tones that witnesses describe as mournful, ceremonial, or communicative in intent. The voices do not consistently resolve into comprehensible language, but the auditory quality suggests sentient expression rather than mere environmental noise. The tower grounds appear to generate a concentrated atmospheric presence that produces visceral response in sensitive observers, with many reporting profound unease, emotional perturbation, and a sense of being watched or observed by unseen presences. Freshman students at Stetson University are frequently informed of the Hulley Tower legend during their early campus orientation and social integration, with the paranormal reputation of the structure serving as a foundational element of campus mythology and informal historical narrative. The legends have become integrated into student culture and campus identity, with the tower recognized as one of the university's signature paranormal features. Contemporary students and new faculty members express varying degrees of belief and skepticism regarding the legends, though many report personal experiences that validate the paranormal claims. The tower remains an active campus landmark, accessible to students and university community members, with the paranormal presence continuing to manifest for those who venture near the structure. Stetson University acknowledges the historical significance of Hulley Tower and its importance to the institution's legacy while maintaining official positions that neither promote nor extensively validate the paranormal claims. The tower stands as a tangible reminder of the university's founders and the institutional values they established, while simultaneously serving as a focal point for paranormal energy and spiritual phenomena that suggest the presence of those founders continues to animate the location across the decades.

The DeLand Elk's Lodge, known historically as the Deland Old Masonic Temple, occupies a stucco-style structure in DeLand, Florida, reflecting the architectural conventions of early twentieth-century fraternal lodge construction. The building's adoption as a masonic temple occurred in 1927, marking the beginning of its sustained identity as a fraternal organization meeting space and social hub for the regional masonic community. The structure's architectural style, construction materials, and spatial organization reflect the needs of fraternal organizations—combining meeting halls capable of accommodating membership gatherings with ancillary spaces for social functions and administrative operations. The building's transformation to the Elk's Lodge at some subsequent point in its history extended its fraternal identity while potentially altering its internal functional spaces and symbolic significance. The community of DeLand itself possesses particular reputation within paranormal circles as a location of concentrated supernatural activity. The designation of DeLand as a community known for paranormal manifestation suggests either clusters of historically traumatic events, geological or environmental factors conducive to paranormal phenomena, or community cultural patterns that facilitate belief and documentation of paranormal activity. The Masonic Temple's position within this particularly active paranormal community creates a location of presumed heightened sensitivity to spectral manifestation and entity presence. Whether the location's paranormal character derives from its specific history or from broader community energy patterns remains subject to interpretation. The building's construction and continuous use in fraternal contexts meant it accumulated the typical experiences associated with organizational life—meetings, rituals, social gatherings, conflicts, celebrations, and the full spectrum of human interaction that characterizes community organizations. Masonic and Elk lodge activities involve considerable ritualistic and ceremonial dimensions, with symbolic meaning and emotional resonance accruing to particular spaces and activities. The concentration of intentional ritual activity within the building's spaces potentially created conditions for spiritual imprinting or entity attraction, according to paranormal interpretation frameworks that associate consciousness, intention, and emotional intensity with paranormal phenomena. The paranormal entity identified as haunting the DeLand Elk's Lodge is described as an elderly man, apparently connected to the building through occupation, membership, or other relationship during the period of his living existence. The specificity of age classification—elderly rather than middle-aged or younger—suggests either knowledge of his approximate age at death or perception of apparent age by those reporting the manifestation. His identification with the building sufficiently that he maintains presence following death suggests either voluntary choice to remain, residual imprinting of powerful connection, or circumstances of death occurring at or immediately related to the location. The absence of reported aggression or disturbing behavior distinguishes this entity from more problematic hauntings, suggesting a relatively benign or neutral paranormal presence. The manifestation appears concentrated in the main hall and various rooms of the building, suggesting either distributed presence throughout the functional spaces or multiple observation points from which the entity has been encountered. Full-body apparition sightings provide visual confirmation of the entity's presence, with witnesses describing the materializing figure of an elderly man with sufficient clarity to assess age and apparent physical characteristics. The apparition's substantiality and visual clarity distinguish this from vague shadow figures or ambiguous shapes, suggesting either a powerful manifestation or observer sensitivity enabling detailed perception of spectral presence. The entity's apparent comfort or acceptance of its non-physical state—with no reports of distress, aggression, or hostile behavior—creates an impression of a relatively peaceful haunting. The strong presence felt by those entering the building or moving through its spaces suggests the entity maintains continuous occupation and awareness of the building's use and visitor movement. Rather than manifesting exclusively through apparition sightings, the presence apparently extends to psychic sensation and environmental awareness. Visitors report the feeling of non-human presence, a sensation of being watched or accompanied by invisible entity, despite absence of visual apparition. This type of presence sensation often accompanies apparitional phenomena, with witnesses reporting awareness of entity proximity before or after visual manifestation. The consistency of such presence reports across multiple independent visitors suggests either distributed entity presence throughout the space or entity capable of creating broad environmental awareness of its presence. Paranormal activity in the DeLand Elk's Lodge appears to maintain relatively low profile compared to more spectacularly active locations. The absence of aggressive phenomena—no physical contact, no objects being thrown, no disturbing disembodied voices—places this haunting within a category of benign or neutral spectral presence. The elderly man's manifestations create interest for paranormal researchers and those seeking ghost encounter experiences, yet the relative peacefulness of the phenomena suggests coexistence between living occupants and the deceased inhabitant rather than conflict. Whether the entity actively communicates or simply maintains continuous presence remains unclear from available sources. The building's position within DeLand's broader paranormal geography raises questions about what factors concentrate supernatural activity in particular communities and structures. DeLand's reputation as particularly haunted might reflect genuine concentration of paranormal phenomena, community cultural patterns facilitating paranormal belief and documentation, historical concentration of tragic deaths or traumatic events, or some combination of these factors. The DeLand Elk's Lodge contributes to the community's paranormal reputation while remaining one of many reported haunted locations within the region, suggesting broader environmental or historical factors beyond individual building characteristics that create DeLand's paranormal sensitivity. The fraternal lodge context of the building creates interesting possibilities regarding the entity's motivation for continuing presence. Members of fraternal organizations often develop profound emotional attachments to lodge facilities and organizational activities, with the spaces and rituals acquiring significant meaning extending beyond ordinary commercial or residential spaces. An elderly member's powerful attachment to the lodge—its spaces, its communities, its ritualistic significance—might explain continued presence following death, representing either conscious choice to remain or automatic attraction created by lifetime emotional investment. The relatively benign character of the manifestation suggests a presence content with remaining near spaces of former significance, rather than entity disturbed by circumstances of death or motivated by unfinished business creating aggressive manifestation patterns.
