    When a Ghostly begins using her possession attack, often times she is clumsy at it, able to easily be thrown back out by stronger willed victims. As the Ghostly grows in strength her possession attacks are harder to fight off, and if a Ghostly is lucky enough to find a dying Pokégirl, then she can use her possession ability to regain a body and return to life once more. This body snatching evolution is only possible because of how close the dying Pokégirl is to the spirit world and their lack of life force, the original host spirit of the body is driven into the afterlife (or rarely, simply out of the body to reform later as an Astral Pokégirl or a new Ghostly) by the possession leaving the now Haunting alone in the body. The internal evolution of the Ghostly into Haunting releases a pulse of energy, restarting the heart and healing the new Haunting's body back to health like other evolutions. Unlike other evolutions, the energy involved is mostly used up restarting the heart of the Haunting's new body, the glow that accompanies this evolution is low and similar to a glow stick. As Haunting have in essence stolen the body they now occupy, their appearance runs the gamut of Pokégirls, though human possessions have been recorded, human females threshold and human males become female during the evolution before thresholding.
    Haunting initially have great troubles controlling her new body, though this mainly depends on how well the Haunting herself remembers her previous life. If a Haunting has no memories of her previous life, it can take a Haunting several days to fully master her new body; the whole process being disturbingly similar to a baby learning. Regardless of if a Haunting remembers her past life, the breed as a whole has difficulties with the return of their sensory information. They are constantly distracted by the sensations her body has, which translates to a low pleasure threshold even if the Haunting is possessing the body of a sexual tank like the Menage. Most often described as having a pleasure threshold lower than a Titmouse, some Hauntings have been known to orgasm over sensations such as liked flavors or the feeling of new sensations. Whilst this is good for the Tamer, it does mean that Haunting is particularly weak and vulnerable in any sexbattle match.
    Unlike the Ghostly, Hauntings have a living body, and no longer need to nip energy from others. This isn't to say that they won't do it however, as some Haunting enjoy the boost in energy they get from drawing life energy, and sometimes target their opponents in battles. It is not known if any Hauntings will kill to get this life energy high, but caution is advised. Besides their ghost type attacks, Haunting can also learn attacks that their new body's breed know. It is believed among the researcher community that if Sukube did indeed create or foresee the Haunting breed, then they could have been used during the War of Revenge to revive soldiers of his Pokégirl army that had perished. However, because of the life force involved with maintaining a living body, Haunting are usually unable to use their possession technique to take a new body until they become more skilled at possession and stronger in power.
    Hauntings vary in personality, usually keeping the personalities they had developed during their time spent as a Ghostly, though the few that have retained their memories look at their new body as a gift and most give constant thanks to the one who perished so that they could live again. In some cases, this thankful attitude borders on obsession, with the Haunting attempting to learn all they can about their body's original owner. With this knowledge, they emulate their obsession almost to a T, but something remains off about the Haunting to those who knew their body's original spirit. Some of these 'otaku' Haunting never wish to leave their new body, staying within their new 'home' even after they evolve into a Groaning. Though the few Haunting that become strong and skilled enough in the art of possession tend to look for a more powerful arrangement that complements their skills at possession without leaving them weak.
    Feral Hauntings are nearly unheard of, as Ghostly have to be consciously aware of themselves in order to possess a dying body, though sometimes lightening does strike and a feral Ghostly will possess a dying Pokégirl. Feral Hauntings do not seem to know that they no longer need life energy to survive, and some can be dangerous as the high they get from absorbing energy leads a few to become addicted to he sensation. Sadly, most feral Haunting are killed soon after they take possession of a new body, which forces them to either depart to the afterlife or start over as a Ghostly. Threshold into a Haunting, like a Ghostly, is impossible, as one has to be dead to become a Ghostly or Haunting. However, there are recorded cases of thresholders returning as Ghostlies and then evolving into Hauntings.
