Are too many strange occurrences going on in your house? Have you thought now it may be paranormal or a ghost? If so you have come to the right place. Read on..
What is Paranormal?
First of let’s first clarify paranormal, it does not always signify spirits or ghosts, it could be other energies at work. It really just suggests an occult situation where what is happening is very unusual and is a mystery to you and to others that experience it.. What I first suggest to anyone to do is as each paranormal incident happens in your house or whoevers house, write it down. A lot of the time it is an energy trying to communicate in some way and possibly working out how to answer the question may help the entity or energy move on..
Secondly, be strong mentally. Remember the golden rule with paranormal or the occult is fear can only attract bad, so if you be positive your energy will only react as a defense. Another aspect to consider is maybe the paranormal activity is not trying to communicate, maybe more it is just replaying itself like a residual haunting. A common example of this is a light switching on at 8 o clock every night but nothing else happens, next day same thing happens.
Okay so here are Six Ways to Detect Paranormal / Occult Activity in your House
1 ) Lights On and Off - A common paranormal activity is lights switching on and off. This happens because an energy passes by the light and sucks or drains the electricity from the source temporarily. Occasionally it is a electric fault so ruling this out is important. An interesting experience happened to me once when I was visiting my sister, each light in the house switched on one after the other and then backwards in the same sequence and then the last one flickering. Interestingly none of the lights were on except the room we were in.. Spooky hey..
2 ) TV Switching Channels or Turning On and Off - TV is another common one, ever had your tv turn off and then before you turn it back on it switches back on. This is a very common paranormal activity, the TV turning off or changing channels. The theory is that as a paranormal energy passes by it disrupts the on / off frequency. Commonly most of the time this paranormal is a spirit.
3 ) Items Moved – This is a frustrating one, you check for your car keys or house keys and they are not there. Then later on after searching your house you find them where the were not in the beginning. A lot of people shrug this one off, but it definitely is a paranormal occurrence. The theory with this one is a spirit or intelligent energy is delaying your day for a reason. It may be a foretold car accident or something similar. Some people refer to this action as being looked after by an angel, who likes you. While others say it is just a mischievous spirit. Maybe when this happens next time it may be because of a reason..
4 ) Car not Starting – This is another common one, the car will not start and then the next day before you decide to get it towed to get fixed, it starts for some reason. In a way like the car knew it was about to be towed to a mechanics.. A lot of the time this could be a coincidence and a standard mechanical fault, however if it happens in certain patterns chances are it is paranormal. I have a friend who has a spirit in his car, it was a good spirit and if at any time his car would not start all he did was talk to the car and the spirit and then five minutes later the car would start. I am unsure as to why spirits or energies would attach themselves to cars but it does happen..
5 ) Doors Opening and Closing - Hey that’s strange, how did that door open or how did that door close? This is probably the most easily confused one as doors could open or close with the wind. However when there no breeze that day and it happens it indicates something different. Doors are easily pushed and if you have a spirit in the house they can be moved lightly with there spirit passing by. This one really needs due time of trial and error to work out if it is paranormal. Make sure to check for breezes even from the floor and close all external doors and windows to see if it still happens..
6 ) Voices and Footsteps – These two are probably the most spooky of the lot and are massive signs. The first one being voices is interesting, try to record the voices. It may sound like hard to hear whispers, but on a recorder you can turn it up to work out what may be the spirit or paranormal energy is saying. The second one footsteps is a spooky one also. Basically said this is a common one when sleeping, waking up to footsteps. You go to investigate but there is nothing there. With this one it could keep recurring until you are certain there is something going on..
This happened to me in a haunted house I lived in in Dorrigo when I was younger. Footsteps were very common and sometimes even the footsteps could be heard outside my room and then stop at my door. This was a nightly haunt so every night it was the same. Footsteps and a bad smell of a sweaty older man.. I have more to say on this haunt but will include it in a future post as there is a lot of detail.
Overall Paranormal is Real
There are many other ways to tell as well, these 6 ways are some of the standard ones I find in any paranormal haunting situation. In other extreme situations, it could be moving objects, doors slamming, seeing a apparition or even being physically abused by the spirit or entity. These ones I refer to as upset energies. They are not common however if you do come across one in your life be cautious and be wise on handling. It is important to remember that to some spirits or energies, they may be upset or angry because they want you out of there house..
Went to bed Friday night. During the night we were awakened by voices in the kitchen. Went to check it out, the TV was on. It was just before 3 a.m.
Saturday night (last night) I went into the kitchen to get to the bathroom and as I walked into the kitchen from the living room, the TV went on. It was a little after 3 a.m.
I have a friend who recently (4 weeks) died of cancer – she said she wasn’t ready to die.
The day after she died, we had a horrible lighting strike at her home that took out what she called “her TV” as her husband watched the ball game.
A day after her funeral, her husband wanted to watch a ballgame while we were making dinner for him and his children at a friend’s home. The women who died always asked that her husband turn off the TV when there were guests or when he visited. The friend’s TV signal came in scrambled when we put on the TV for him. When we all left, the friend called us and said the TV worked just fine after we left. Could this be her coming through via my TV? If so, do you think she needs help crossing over?
Hey Cheryl,
Sounds very paranormal, thanks for the share, just make sure to check the wiring just to be sure. TVs are a very common form of communication as it is believed spirits (electromagnetic disruption) can disrupt the TV waves and frequency (eg remote turning TV on or off).
With the correlation of 3 a.m. aspect can that be related to the ladys passing??
If it does relate it could be a high probability.. Very interesting..
when i was about 17 years old we moved into a brand new house everything was going good untill maybe about 6 weeks after moving in.. I started hearing noises that i wouldnt let bother me so i ignored so then i little things started getting misplaced that i know for fact that no one would touch. UM i had dreams not so scary but on going dreams almost like a movie i’ll fall asleep and wake up go back to sleep and the dreams would start from where i left off.. I have unexplained brusing my clothes stink the smell wont pretty much go away.. I hear laughter my lights flicker um my clock goes off at 3pm even though it’s set for 7am my dog hates my room and bathroom he barks at it wont go in at all .. my friends dont like my house refuse to come over.. I dont know what to do its been going on for 2 years now im scared and what i told isnt even half of what you wowuld imagine.. what can i do who can i talk to
Hey Thai,
I think you could talk to a priest or a psychic about your situation. Sounds like your house needs a cleansing. Also as a note when you fear spirits in a house they tend to feed off that and they will get more noticeable. Try to be strong, remember they were once human as well.
i am always losing things and finding them in the first place that i had looked but didnt see before. I am always waking up at or around 3am. Last night my ipod (which was in a jacket pocket, hanging on a hook) went on at full volume (which i never hear sooo loud) at exactly 3:04 am. I got up to turn it off, and as i was getting back into bed I saw a dark shadowy figure dissappear into a mirror. I also hear footsteps and whispering in the middle of the night, but it sounds like mumbling- i cant make out what they say. Do u think this is a malevolent spirit?
Hey Jessica,
Very likely it is a shadow spirit, however i do not believe it is malevolent unless it has physically hurt you. Try not to fear it as much as possible and record what happens, time and dates.. Also I recommend a house cleansing if the hauntings get worse with a Psychic..
I have had things like knowing the blinds were down in a room then come back and they were up and no one had been there to do it. My daughter came to us one the middle of the night frightened and said the couch was shaking. I have heard doors making a squeak like they do when the the cat or dog goes in the spare bedroom but look are they are both with me and there isn’t a draft anywhere that would pull them open. 5 disk Cd player in one of the rooms would start playing cds in the middle of the night. I live real real close to a battlefield and possibly soldiers could have been killed on our land. Do you think that makes it more probable that these are spirits causing these things to happen? It went on for a couple of years and we pulled the old carpet out of the house and it seemed to go away after that. Kind of stange I thought.
Hey Luanne,
Sounds very paranormal, when paranormal stuff happens try to record its time and date that way you can work out a pattern. Also if you wish to invest in a good digital camera, point it at the window at night on night vision to see if you catch it in action. If it is haunted sounds like the spirit like the blinds open..
I was asleep in my room at four in the morning, When all of a sudden i heard something that sound as though something was being moved across my dresser. I opened my eyes and the lamp that was on my dresser flew off into the closet in my bedroom. That morning I was off to school.My mother woke up a couple hours later and the heater that was off the night before was turned on to 95. Scary,Someone commited suicide in the house i live in. Do you think that his spirit is haunting us?
Hey Rachael,
It is most likely a ghost from the suicide, but it is hard to be sure as they may have moved on. Either way it sounds very paranormal.. Wht i recommend doing is write down experiences and date and time to try to work out patterns. The patterns then can help determine what is happening exactly..
sir,
almost five to six years in between my wife s and aged father s ,money and gold jewellerey are disappreaing from the locked closet,and jewel box,only gold jewl,siappears ,between the atifacal jewel,our home is something at the hill,tried every remedy,but what can be reason,both my father and wife are very religious.
pls inform what to do….
Interesting question Junaid, sounds like there is something related to closet.. Is it an old closet as sometimes paranormal activity can attach itself to objects like a wormhole in a way..
I lived in this townhouse for about 8-10 years now, and i noticed since the first day i moved in that the house felt a little…. miedo (fear,scary), if you know what i mean. My mother came to visit and she pulled up to the driveway and she swore she saw a little girl that resembled me when i was about eight, staring at her through the bedroom window. when she told me this i was very frightened and at one point about a couple years ago, my easter vase was broken on the floor. like someone had thrown it across the bathroom. i heard noises comming from the attic almost every night. My sister also came to visit, and last night we both had the same exact dream about a little girl. it was frightening. i was so scared.
Sounds like a poltegheist type haunt. Try to remember spirits are humans as well, just they have passed on. Sounds like they may be trying to pass a message on..
I watch a lot of paranormal shows & there are no patterns. It could be one, two, or many. I can’t tell. At my house in the city, there has been a few, scattered things. City House:My room is the coldest for some reason. A few years ago a swore our bathroom door swung open & then shut while everyone was on the other end of the house. I recently noticed that my cat has been staring at random places like she is watching something, but no one is there. I hear noises coming from the ceiling, attic footsteps, stair footsteps, and other random places & once really loud in the garage, nobody is there. Recently my door has been opening, i have been feeling like i have been being watched, i have heard really weird noises and my brand new mac has been repeatedly turning off at random in as little time as a few seconds apart. At my ranch house: people have died there, it is a part of stephen f austin’s 3rd colony established in TX. In the past few decades, a guy was accidentally shot on there while squirrel hunting as well. there is an old shack there that was where he might have stayed, and a heavy rocking chair was supposedly blown off the shack,s porch, but the one next to it was fine and it had landed a few feet away from where the wind could have blown it (they r very heavy). One night, we heard footsteps on our mobile home porch, the light was on a few minutes before and was suddenly off without us noticing, our dogs went hysterical, there was no one there, and our parents were asleep. I als hear random noises there. I have never gone in that shack at night, and only 2 times during the day because it scares me so bad. I also had a nightmare at my ranch this past weekend, that same weekend the wind was blowing hard and the door to the backroom of the barn was opening and closing against the wind, while the lights were flickering on and off. I also raised a robin i found for 2 months and 2 days and it suddenly died, but i volunteer @ a baby bird rescue center and knew exactly what 2 do, i loved it so much & heard that spirits can kill animals. this has also happened to a parakeet & 2 baby ducksIs there something attached to me following me home from the ranch? I have been firmly asking it /yelling at it to leave me alone when i feel scared. what could/should i do about it? Tell me everything/ anything u can possible. Please reply quickly so i can stop it before it gets worse. Thank you.

Hey Miranda,
Sounds definetely like a haunting.. Try to ask the spirit to move to the light next time it happens. I have had similar experiences and sometimes this helps.. Possibly in the past people were dabbling with energy downstairs and opened a door to the other side. This can happen if one plays with a ouiji board or calls (conjures) on spirits through old rituals.. Maybe consider getting a psychic to do a house cleanse as this may help the spirit move on.. I hope this helps..
I live in a relativly new house. Built in the 80s. I have been hearing footsteps in the hall and in my room. I thought it was my mother coming into my room (which i found creepy enough) but when asked, my mother had also heard and thought it was me. The lights and sterio also went on and off. We got an electrition out who did not beleive it had happend as power points and lights run on diffrent circuts. There is also bad smell in hall (like sewrage) but that may be just sewrage. last night mum said she breifly saw a mist (large) move slowly past door. Do all these things add up 2 a haunting? And what dose it mean that the occurenses seem 2 be getting stronger>

Hey Random Person,
Sounds like you need the help of cleansing the house. Try the help of a good pyschic and focus on clensing the house. Of course make sure to eliminate all other possibilities first, such as a medical check..
Sounds like a haunting to me..
My family moved into a house owned by my sister almost two months ago while our own house is undergoing renovation. Shortly after nmoving in, all four of us started experiencing strange things: Lights turning on or off mysteriously, doors slamming shut and then opening again, aircon turning on by itself..also footstep sounds on the stairs..
I couldn’t believe it at first, being someone who hasn’t experienced anything of this sort. But after repeated incidents that i myself have experienced, i eliminated other possible obvious explanation and decided that the occurences leaves no room for doubt, there is something at work here.
Question is, what is it? So far, there are no visual manifestations. Although we started out very scared, we sort of got used to these things. There are eventless days, but surely things haven’t really relented.
I’m comforted by the fact that we will be moving out in just another month or so..We also all want to believe that whatever is doing these things doesn,t really wish to cause us real harm. But what is it really?
Okay Belva, Welcome to the world of paranormal understanding.. What you are experiencing is after renovation is ghosts getting a bit upset.. This is common, remember they were once human and time acts differentely on the other side. To them you are changing around what is there pattern before moving on.. Energy is such a powerful thing and time has no bounds for it.. In a way time is an illusion when passed on..
I would not fear a haunting or these experiences, try to be understanding and they will adjust to the changes.. It is rare that they are ever harmful and i do not believe yours is.. If you worry alot then tell the energy to move on to the light when you notice paranormal, this will possibly help the confused spirit or energy move on to where it should go..
My husband, son (15 yrs), pet lab and I live in a three year old house we love. We are a happy peaceful family (and are Christians), and each healthy. While we haven’t directly discussed it, I think my son and I both recognize some kind of paranormal “entity” (I don’t know what to call it) centred around the staircase in our house. There is nothing at all threatening, sometimes there are noises like fabric swishing, and temperature changes – or more like humidity changes – around the one area. Sometimes I think I hear footsteps, but it’s always in the middle of the night and I’m too sleepy to be sure. I don’t mind the presence, and think it’s kind of neat. The dog watches the staircase from time to time but doesn’t seem bothered or otherwise interested. My husband and I both had loving and close relatives who have passed on within the last ten years (when my son was small, he said he could see his grandfather, which was disconcerting, so we asked him just to let that be our own family secret, mmmkay?). In reading a bit about such activitity, I’m wondering if an entity is trapped, and how to help. Could that be necessary or helpful?
Chao Anne,
Thanks for your share. This sounds like a residual haunting which i would not fear like you say.. Energy i believe is powerful and so it can linger a long time after passing away. Also time is different on the other side. As you say it is not threatening, it sounds like this energy from previous owners was a pattern that they shared. As for helping, if this energy or spirits interact with you just advise them to go to the light. This can helps them move on in between worlds on the other side.. I would not assume it is trapped, to me it is more like time is different on the other side and so to us seems like a long time, to energy (ghosts or spirits) it is not much time at all..
This is just a theory however..
About 2wks ago my husband and I started renovating our bathroom. We knocked down a wall etc.. to make the bathroom bigger. Well, just the other night.. my husband kept waking up it all started around 2am. He startled me i thought someone was breaking into our home. The first time he said he heard someone coming into our bedroom. He figure it was one of the kids and went back to sleep. Then he said right after that he heard the footsteps walking around our bedroom and that is what frighten him it didn’t sound like kids footsteps. So, he turned the light on and there was no one. He went and checked on our three kids and they were sound asleep. He returned to bed and had just started fallen asleep when he felt someone standing in our bedroom again. He rushed out of bed and that is what woke me up. I was like what is going on? His like someone is in here.. I was like your dreaming. His like no! seriously, I just heard someone walk in. Well, finally we slept with the bathroom light on untill morning. In the morning I asked what was all the waking up last night.He told me what happend. I was like okay.. its weird.. I didn’t feel or hear anything. Well, too make a long story short. Last night,I got my share of someone standing there and footsteps in our bedroom. It felt as if the person was looking for something or was lost. I had that anxiety feeling. Like I wanted to help but i was to afraid to look. I have a feeling it has something to do with the bathroom renovation. The spirit does not feel evil it seems like its looking for something. Please help!
Hi Susy,
Do not panic first of all.. This is common after renovations and minor types of hauntings. What is happening is spirits are being confused as renovations are disturbing there energy patterns in the other world.. In time it will calm back down once the spirit adjusts to the changes.. It is amazing how many places this happens to.. A haunting can be very quiet until renovations happen and then previous energies, human spirits start to get confused with the changes..
I recommend writing down your experiences, then if it becomes common ask the spirit to move to the light.. This can help cleanse the effected area and also help the spirit move on.. Regards..
The last couple of nights I have been waking up at between 3:10 and 3:30. Monday I got out of bed and walked around and ended up waking up my mom. My dog doesn’t want to sleep in my room and seems to be scared. Our house is only four years old, built on my grandpa’s farmland, and knowone lived in it before us. It is across the street from a church and cemitary. This morning when I went to take a shower my shampoo was moved and one bottle was on the floor and I was the first one to talk a shower. I have been seeing some bruises on me also. One was on my left elbow, one was on my left knee, and one was on my right thigh, but my mom just said it was from my mono; it could be but I don’t think so. Last night my six-year-old sister was also scared because she said she felt her bed shake but it was also pretty windy. I don’t know much about this kind of stuff so try to explain it as best as you can please. Thank you very much for your help!
Hey Cole,
The paranormal is a different experience to everyone.. It can happen anywhere.. In fact it can follow a person.. What i would recommend you do is write down your experiences to see if you can work out a pattern behind them. Then you can know for sure if a ghost is trying to tell you something exactly and to make sure it is not coincidence.. Like a journal..
Thanks! for the feedback.. Its better now.. not too much activity @ my home. I don’t know what it is? but, this Sunday on Mother’s Day. My family and I went to visit my in-laws. Their home is very old early 40′s. The only people in the home were my three kids my husband and I.. And of course my mother & father in-law. The kids were playin’ in the livin’ room floor. My husband was keeping my in-laws company talkin’etc… I excused my self and went down the hall the the restroom. You see I have a habit of cleanin’etc.. when i visit my in-laws. They are old and can not do too much of that. Well, anyways while i was in the restroom cleanin’ the toilet. the bathroom door wide open.. something caught my eye.. by the hallway.. I thought it was one of my children since that hallway leads straight into a playroom. Where my in-laws keep lots of toys,games etc.. for the kids when they come over to visit. Well, what i saw was a small little girl with light brown hair shoulder length. I could vivdly see her outfit.. it was a sort of like a turtle neck with fusia reds and blue. It was a quick glance blink of an eye view.. I did not see her face.. I could only see the side of her but her hair was in the way coverin’ the side of her face. I was like no I am seein’ things.. So, I was like Jessy were are you goin’… before i finished that statement.. she dissapeared like a flash of lightin’ into the room… I was OMG! I didn’t not see that.. I was like no! So, I walked out the bathroom into the hallway facing the room where i had seen the little girl go through.. The door was halfway opened..So, I peeped into the room and it was pitched black.. And that is what really scared it.. because there are windows in that room and it was broad day light outside.. sun shinin’. I walked to check on my kiddos they were still playin’.. my husband was still talkin’ to my in-laws. I didn’t want to make a big deal. So, i kept my cool and waited untill my husband and I were alone to tell him about what i had experienced. I am just curious! was it just my mind playin’ tricks on me.. Thanks! Susy
Hey Susy,
Sounds like an amazing paranormal experience.. Thanks for sharing..
My husband and I built our house about five years ago. Shortly after we moved in we began to notice odd disturbances like flickering lights, strange noises in our TV speakers when the TV wasn’t turned on and the TV switching itself on and off. Our dog often stares into empty rooms and I have seen things out of the corner of my eye. Between the months of Oct and Jan my husband gets woken up at the same time every night (230am) claiming he can hear screaming and people running through the house. I don’t hear anything. For the last few months he has been waking every night at the same time (1am) feeling unwell and is often violently ill. Is there anything I can do to help him?
Hey Would Rather Remain Annonymous,
I would first recommend seeing a doctor, then getting your house checked for mold as a precaution.. After that if they turn out fine then it is time to see if you can find any history behind the land before building.. Maybe the house was built on haunted land..? A place where ceremonies happened in the past or where a cemetery was previously.. These are the sort of aspects to look for..
Yeah,I do think,it all may sometimes go a bit deeper.
I am grown up in a house where I sometimes spotted unnatural things,but not harmful,quite on the contrary,it dealt here with entities of a higher exalted level.
They observed,how I was brought up by my parents,who were already old,my mother was very dominant and always paniced,when my father was at the office,and I then was alone with her as an only child.
One of the occurences,I experienced,was,that,one morning,when my father was at the office,I needed to meet with my mother,but,first couldn’t find her.Going over the whole house,I eventually came into the kitchen,nothing to be seen,but I heard st.And I noticed that one of the small doors of the cupboards underneath the sink unit was not entirely closed.I went towards it,opened that small door and,oh,my god,..there I found my mother hidden in it.Then she came out,began to cry and tremble,and asking her,why all this,she said she had bumped her head there.Well,a plausibel explanation for a small child,but,growing older,it brought amazement and doubts.
My mother was always in a state of panic in that house,while my father was not around,she was a very dominant person,determined,things letting go HER way.And,..that was watched!Not a pleasant experience to me as an only child.
But now it comes,aged 12 we left that house,cos my father had had a transfer(again,an instigation of my mother),it was 200 km from this place,and,…since then all things in my life went wrong,I had to suffer most conceivable hardships,deprivations,frustrations,you name it.(no success at school,no job and no partner,etc,a hard blow for a 13 aged
Now,after several decades,I returned to my birth place for the 3th time,and to this day I have an ever growing longing to return into that house.In order to meet again(sure they still are there)my roommates,who had at that time the intention to warn me and my father,NOT to take the step of that removal.But,…HOW to warn,without scaring the wits out of us?NO,they were friendly entities,having a good insight in MY future.
Of course,sometimes they made themselves obvious,but it was not every day,there could pass weeks,months or even longer.
No need to sum up all the occurences in the house,but one thing I would like to report.
It was in my bedroom,I was always sent to bed very early,so I could not sleep yet,and was staring at the ceiling in the nearly dark.Once used to the darkness,I could distinguish the edges of the ceiling and the 4 ceiling corners.And it seemed to me,that ONE of these ceiling corners did differ from the other 3.
There proved to be something in this one corner,well,I did not focus on that,but,..one night,it really seemed to me,that I saw in that same corner st.resembling a human head,of an old man with a cap,my reaction?Making light? of course not,it would be disappeared,such was my insight,as a boy,aged 3!
My real reaction was,turning on the right side in my bed,so simply ignore it,and since then,I’ve never seen this apparition again.
Paranormal things are very intricate matters!

Please any advice or anything would you can help me with i would really appreciate
Hey Alicia,
Sounds like paranormal yeah.. Just after you moved maybe you stirred up the energy by adding your new things into the house.. Some people believe it is the ghost upset at the change and others believe it is the ghost running into new objects that were not there previously.. In order to work out a pattern start writing down your experiences after they happen. After a little it should settle down once used to the change.. If not you may need to give the house a cleanse..
hi my 3 year old son has been acting strangely for a couple of wks now,since he was 1 he would wake about 4 times in the nite,i was getting fed up so i put a make shift bed next to mine and hes slept there ever since. i have a 16 yr old son,who a couple of wks ago came down stairs with his quilt and said he was sleeping on the sofa cos something was tugging his arm and he thought it was the 3 yr old,who was fast asleep in my room.my husband stayed in there 1 nite and said he felt like some1 was sat on his chest, i also dared myself to stay in there and i woke to find my hair been stroked back from my forehead,my 3 yr old now just randomly started talking about a mukky man all in black with black glasses carrying fruit,and he asks my son for 2 pennies, he also mentioned the word french doubles i asked what he meant and he laughed and said mammy thats were he works,and everyday he says the mucky mans coming soon,im a bit freaked now but i dont show it what is this
Hi I’ve been feeling weired lately. You see, I just recently played with a Ouija board. I might have played it wrong but I’m not sure. Anyways, that night I started to hear voices in my room along with footsteps. But I thought maybe I was just dreaming while I was awake so I went back to sleep. The next night I heard the same thing. I started then to get scared. The night after that I got up to go to the bathroom around 1am and I saw a shadow behind my shower curtain so I whipped it open but no one was there. Then once I was heading back to my bedroom I felt like someone was following me. The next day I told my mom about it but she said it was just my mind playing tricks on me. But I don’t think so. I am so scared is it a spirit or not? If it is, is it trying to tell me something? I’m just scared and confused, what should I do?
Hi I just recently played a oijia board and some weird things have been happening. That first night I heard voices and I felt a presence in my bedroom then suddenly the tv turned on. I turned it off and I went to go get a drink and I heard someone repeatly whispering my name over and over then they said “you’re going to die just like I did, torture” I was so scared so I went to see if my mom and dad were up but no one was so I went to bed. The same exact thing happened the next night. Then the night after that I woke up because of a nightmare and there was a little girl leaning over my bed starring at me in terror. She quickly disappeard after that. But it continues to happened. I am so scared and my parents do not believe me because they don’t beleive in spirits and hauntings. Help me please I am so confused and don’t know what to do. Please help and fast!
HI about 4 years ago myself and my wife decided to play with a quiji board which we never have done before, just for kicks anyhow not long after asking a few question we heard 3 knocks on the front door and I said “come in” when nobody came in I looked all around and no body was anywhere to be seen
anyhow it freaked us out so we attempted to burn the board but it did not burn easy. never the less we where a little scared.
For what ever reason I decided to reasearch this a little today 4 years later. The only thing other than playing with this board at that time that could have been of any signifigance is that about a month after that my wifes aunt was killed in a car accident right after she dropped off our 7 month old son who just turned 7 months old that day. she litteraly left our house and was killed within minutes of leaving. This is not the only thing that has happen to me but one that I remember with great detail
any ideas or comments. I hear different stories but most say it could have been evil or a demon tricking us to invite them in. But I have also heard it could have been a loved one just letting us know they are ok? Thanks Wayne Phone 443-677-2963 Maryland
Some recent activites in my new home have me thinking if this is paranormal. I’ve woken up in the middle of the night with the ceiling fan on. Another night my lamp light was on. I have woken up to very loud noise right at my ears as if someone was trying to wake me up. Twice, one of my pillows is laying across (in a “t”) my back when I sleep face down. Last night, I heard someone knock twice upstairs. Oh, and I can’t understand why my dogs howl at least twice a day (outside, in their dog run). Is there a reason my dogs howl so much? It’s very hard to know if I might have done these things in my sleep. Such as turned on the lights… I don’t sleep walk. Could this happen in a new home? I’m worried my old roommate might have played a game or something in her old room.
In my previous message I meant to say my ceiling light fan was on not the fan.
Im 15 years old and my room is lit by a street light that is hung in front of my bedroom window outside and it keeps flicking on and off so i open my bedroom door to let some light in. Once before i slept i was in my bed watching the light flicker outside when i heard our stair gate open loudly. i went ti check but it was closed. after i asked if my mum or sisters heard it but they didn’t. is this paranormal?
every night i am woke up at 2:53 am am feel eerie an can feel another energy, within 5 mins my 13 yr old daughter is woke up in her room upstairs.i hav always since a child been able to see an feel other energys or spirits. my daughter is the same way. i have had the house smudged an cleansesd 3 diffrent times. this one is a shadow figure she sees! is this a negative energy? it dnt feel friendly! what do i do now?
Hi my name is maria, there has been very many incidents going on with me, one day i was watching t.v at night and as i was watching t.v i see a quick black shadow pass the t.v it looked as if it was running, then another incident was about 1 1/2 years ago and i was sitting in my living room again just watching t.v and it was about 3 something and from the corner of my eye i though dad was standing in the doorway of the living room about to tell me to go to bed, but it ended up being this huge dark figure just standing there still i put a blanket over my face and layed on the couch when i took the blanket off my face the figure was gone, and then another time my sister came and slept in my room and in the middle of the night she got up to use the restroom but left the door open and the lights off in my room but the bathrrom light was shining through my room i was laying on my stomach and peeked my eyes open because i thought she was just standing over the corner of the bed looking at me with her arms kind of out then i heard the bathroom flushing so i opened my eyes more and she was coming out of the bathrooom and i asked if she had been standing over the bed and she said no and went to bed! I havnt seen anything lately but i was at my boyfriends house and he said his house was haunted well i was at his house one day and again, i seen a black shadow just walk by calm and then disapear i didnt know what to think until later that night he was freaking out because he was alone at his house and it turned out he heard someone call his name and he thought it might have been me coming over and he replied back “what” and no one was there? I just need to know what this means it has been concerning me very much i dont understand this mystery black shadow!
hello,my 9 years old daughter died a day ago,and today i have seen her all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Timon.
This is Anu from India.
Ok, firstly I am not a big believer of Paranormal activities, but lately something is happening at my sisters flat which has made me a bit concerend. She is a single mother and has moved into a house in New Delhi. She lives at the 4th floor(The topmost floor of the building) with her 14 year old son. Her husband paased awat 10 years back.
The house she has moved into is a brand new one, with herself being the first occupant.
It has been quite a pleasant stay so far, but last 2 to 3 days she has been experiencing some wierd things:
1) In the night, after 12, 12 30 am,all her clocks, including her wall clock, her cell phone clock, the clock on her computer , gets one hour slow…without her understanding at first. Sh ehad a habit of giving an alarm on her cell phone clock to get up at 6 30, but last 3 days she is getting up at 7 30, becoming oone hour late. Her son has missed school thrice already due to this mishap…
2) Another thing she notice was the locks on her main door. She has two doors leading to outside, which she latches and then locks with a key. Every night the locls become mysetriously open while the latches are still on. She even had difficulties in finding the keys to relock the door.
3) the lights of her flat only went out in the night for a brief few minutes, inspite of her having an inverter installed. She has looked outside and all the other buildings including hers had power.
4) She was not able to call up her son’s mobile as whenever she tried it went sweitched off automatically inspite of the cell phone being fully charged
At first she thought it was her son playing pranks or sleep walking, but last night she had kept him locked inside his bedroom and still the clocks showed one hr delayed time and the locks were missing….\
Am i getting unduly worried, or is this something out of the ordinary? Will appreciate a quick responce.
Thanks
Anu
Thanks for sharing Anu, sounds like a haunting of some type and that the changes are stirring it up.. I would try not to worry.. In time the changes should subside as the presence gets used to the new people. However you could get a psychic to cleanse the house and help the spirits or energy move on better..
Try to get a lot of happy positive energy in there like a small party and see if it moves on, sometimes this helps..
I just move to an apartment with some friends, and I have felt that I am being choke, and hit on my neck by someone, I woke up in pain and with red marks on my neck, I think though that is a dream, but things like furniture are being move, I loose things constantly and find them in places I know I don’t used.
Hello I am 19 and I was wondering if the phone app I have can since energy such as paranormal energy the app is called ghost radar…. well on the radar I get a lot of visuals and our house things allways gets lost then we can’t find the things we keep in certain places.. now the house I live in was built in the 1800s on a farm which has a 3 stall outhouse. This is in the city and I sometimes wake up from scarey dreams. The app always picks something up and they the people who use it said its real and works but I donnno if it actually works. So can you find out it works? I have an adroid smart phone that has sensors in it.
Hey Randel,
I have never heard of an app like that for a mobile phone, so i will look it up now..
Moments later after looking up.. ( maybe 5 minutes later…)
It appears it detects EMF readings in Android based phones. What a cool app.. This is a common tool for detecting paranormal activity similar to electrical disturbances. You can’t take it as total evidence though as EMF detectors detect bad electrical wiring as well so try to eliminate or try turning off all the electricity to the house and then scanning the house.. Good Luck and let me know what happens if you try after turning off all electrics.
My niece bought a hud home in April 2010 that is 85 years and has been restoring it. We anticipate it will 3 to 6 months before she can move in. (The previous owners started the restoration process but never finished it.) There have been several unexplained incidents that have happened in the past 2 months. The radio station is being changed when she leaves the house. She was listening to hip hop music, turned the radio off, and unplugged it before going to Lowes. When she returned to the house, the station had been switched to a classical station. Another time she turned the radio off,after listening to Christian music but returned to find the station had been moved to rock. Does anyone have any comments. Plus occasionally there will be a strong musty type smell.
hi i was hoping you could clear a few things up for me. We moved into our home 6months ago and there has always been strange noises but i just ignore them. There has been a few incidents where I put something down in one place and when I come back its moved to a different place. The other night my 14 year old brother spent the night and when he came back from helping my mom deliver papers around 6am he heard me screaming his name like i needed help he responded with my name and went and checked on me and I was asleep and so he woke me up and told me about it. Then just this morning around 6am he had spent the night again and took my dog out for me and when he turned around facing my house he said he seen a big black shadow of a person walk by the window in my 18 month old’s bedroom. I was not in there at the time and I am scared now. Is there something paranormal going on here ?
O and one more thing most of these major occurances are only happeneing to my brother. There has been a few incidents at his own home, one night he was in the bathroom and it was 12:30am everyone else was asleep and he said that there was knocking first and then someone was turning the door knob fast and hard and pushing on the door trying to get in and then it just stopped. Could it just be that spirits follow him ??
Hi I was hoping you could just clear up a few things for me. Since as long as I can remember no matter what house I have lived in what state or what age, I have always seen or sensed presences or something around me, my two daughters are the same way – I have had vivied dreams of people and places I do not know and awful things have happened, I do not interact with the people in my dream it is almost as if I am watching them behind glass or something and the next day or so I would see the exact thing dreamt on the news. Another thing that has been with me since I was young is that street lights go off as I approach them and come back on once I am further away, it has been as many as 3 lights in a row to going a mile to having one light go off and on. We even have a street light in front of our house that will shut off as I walk outside sometimes it comes back on instantly, other times I have to go back into the house and it will go back on, some friends and family get a kick out of it and others stay away. Only my older daughter expeirences the street light occurances but both my daughters have the dreams. My husband and son do not expeiernce these feelings, or dreams, or the street lights going off unless either myself or my daughter are with them in a car but they have seen things.
When my son when was younger he had a conversation with his dad’s grandfather who had passed on before his dad and I met and my son knew everything about him at age 3 from the conversation he had with his dead greatgrandfather.
My youngest daughter at age 3 came to our room one nite and I put her in bed with my husband and I and she started talking to people and answering questions and sat up and touched my husband and I and said yep this is my mommy and my and daddy. We isntantly asked who she was talking to and she replied with her arms in the air all the light people pointing to the ceiling – shortly after that she started blowing kisses and saying goodby and that she loved them too.
We were startled but not scared we used to say she talked to the angels.
My oldest daughter (now 21) has actually been held down and felt like she was having all her breath taken from her all while in her bedroom at about age 17 up to the time she left, she also complained of scrathing noises in the wall, her tv and stereo going on and off and a feeling of someone with her at night. Since she has moved out of town to go to school she still feels a presence of something, hears and contiues to see things -shadows and sometimes is very scared.
My younger daughter (17 this week) has been in her sisters old room since she left and she is also expeirencing the same occurances.
One year ago today I was taken pictures in my home and came across in one of my picutres a woman sitting in a chair wearing period clothing, in a spot where I dont have a chair or has there ever been one. In the same picture there was a figure of a man with a skelelaton face wearing what appeared to be a tshirt, that picture gave an eerie felling, the woman not so much.
We see shadows, hear our name being called and not one of us has called out for the other but we still answer.
My husband has been awaken and saw a large man standing over me in bed and my husband jumped out of bed and the man lunged for him but disappereaded in front of him this was about 6 months ago or so.
3 days ago my son now 19 was standing in the hall talking to me and he said a white figure walked right past him. The next night my daughters stereo turned on while she was sleeping full blast which my son turned off.
Last night my husband and I were sleeping in bed and my 2 dogs wold not come to bed with us which is weird because we say “go bed” and they are in the room before us. But I was awaken to a light tapping noise, I thought it was my puppy so I looked over and I saw this very odd shadow on my ceiling, I studied it for a moment and closed my eyes again, I rolled over on my back and opened my eyes and the shadow had moved to the corner of the room and was stretched out over my bed and was the figure of a person, I woke my husband to look and we both saw it move quickly across the room into the other side and stay where it originated. We left the room for a while and when we went back the shadow was gone, though it did appear later on in a different spot, and it what appeared to be hiding from us later I saw it between my tv stand and my dresser. I just went to sleep. My husband and I were the only ones in the house.
I have had my house blessed, crosses for my kids blessed etc. last night I even said the lords prayer aloud and opened my holy water, I was somewhat freaked out.
I am more curious of these happenings then scared -but I do have my moments. I can also tell you that numerous times we have been delayed by an occurance in the house where if we would not have been delayed we could have been in very seriuos accidents or other similar situations – my daughter actually was being followed by some friends in her car one night when she had to turn around her friends kept going on and shortly up the road they hit a large tree branch that had fallen into the road and the vehilce rolled and two of the kids were thrown from the car and seriously hurt her boyfriend now fiance was in the car that rolled and was the only one that walked away scratch free the rest were flown to trauma hospitals. I have felt a comfort feeling of we were watched over with such situations but then some of the other occurances make me wonder. I have asked my mother if she knew of any family members on either side that had similar expeirences thinking maybe it was inherited, she tells me not that she knows of and would rather not hear of any of ours – lol. Please, your thoughts and input would be appreciated on all or any of this. Thank you Christine
Hey Christine,
Wow, long story and thanks for sharing. I have a few questions for you -
Do you think it is your family that is haunted? And if so then what about a spiritual cleanse of your family. This can be done with a good psychic that knows what they are doing. It usually involves meditation and a guided body cleanse.
Also do you feel these spirits are a threat? If so, then I would definitely look at what to do.
What do you own that you have always owned? This is a good one, haunting’s can be attached to people as well as objects. Look at what you own that is old. Maybe it is time to get rid of what is old. Is there an object that you feel is suspect. Maybe an old chair etc.. By removing haunted objects these sort of things can leave.
Lastly, do you think possibly you or someone in your family opened up a door via spirit tools or occult practices? If so then this is something that needs to be undone. To close the door. As an example, a simple Ouija Board can open up doors used in the wrong hands. Occult rituals, etc.
Hi Thank you for your reply. I since have a had a team of paranormal people and equipment in my home with my family present, due to many other ocurances. Well there are many spirits with us and a dozen or more they recorded in our front and backyard and they could not really give me any explaination of why they are here and I recognized none of the spirits names. Apparently the area we live in was for veterans and the paranormal people were wondering if our property which sits on a lake was a gathering place at one time, and one female spirit definietly wants us out of the house -which is in the works now. There are times where we feel the presence of them and it is just too overwhelming for all of us. As far as owning old furniture or such, no we do not and as far as the ouija board – yes I beleive when I was little my parents tried one and my sister and I may have as well. But no one else in my family (siblings or parents) has ever been bothered at least not like me. I did though infact find out that one of my great grandmothers and great great aunt had the ability to see and hear things, which answers my sensitivity questions of being inherited.
I do thank you again I am cheking into a medium of some sort to get more answers. Sorry for the long story – I could actually have gone on – lol
I will let you know what comes of all of this I just would like it to stop and if that is not an option then I would like to understand it more so I am not so scared at times and can get a full nights sleep again.
Hey Christine,
A medium is a good option to try to get more info, to me sounds like a doorway is in your house. A doorway would explain the constant activity.. A medium maybe able to give clues on this one or may even be able to figure out how to close it as well..
things have been happening the past couple of weeks such as the tv turned by itself n when checked the plug wasnt in the wall and the radio was on even tho it was on standy and was flicking through all different programmes such as the am fm ipod so on, wierd cold drafts in just 1 point of the room and also something write help me on a board in the bedroom, a usb when missing for ages n when i was in my bedroom i heard a bang turned round n it was there on my bed n i turned my room upside down looking for this jewlery has gone missing and turned up later in the week or months, seeing things that could be orbs do u think its wise to set up a camera in the room its happening most in or dont u advise it.
Hey Conna,
It is always good to try to work out what is happening but also make sure to do it in a safe way. As it is your house you can’t just ignore it so try to work out what is going on. I reckon do set up a camera to check for evidence. If you feel uneasy then consider getting a house cleanse to help in case spirits are hanging around and need to move on.
I am Abhishek Maitra 22 year old boy from India.. We 3 friends did planchette few days back… The 1st day when we were trying to do planchette it didnt work for us but we all heard strange noise..like someone is banging against the wall…Then later on we did plachette successfully.. Now we are feeling that some thing is there..but nothing unusual things are happening only three things we can see or can feel is that some one with us..2nd thing is at night we can hear someone is coughing(might be the person next door) 3rd is my computer is shutting down automatically!! Is this any Paranormal Activity??
Ok, before I start, I feel the need to preface this with my personal opinion: I don’t believe in ghosts, hauntings, possessions, ect. Usually, they’ll make an interesting story or movie, but for the most part I chalk it up to flights of fancy from people with more imagination than knowledge. This, though, has me scratching my head.
My ex fiance moved out a few weeks ago, leaving me in my house alone. It’s a pretty new house, built 2006, so the likelihood of someone dying in there is unlikely given only 4 years, and I’ve lived there since 2009. Sometimes it feels like I’m being watched, but I can easily chalk that up to my imagination working in a quiet solitude. I usually keep the lights off if I don’t need them, so my house stay dark, which contributes to the general feeling of creepiness.
Sometimes I’ll hear banging in the walls. I attribute that to a still fairly new house settling. In fact, I never gave it much thought til a week or so ago.
I was home alone, waiting for a woman I’m seeing to get to my house, as we were about to go to a Rocky Horror Picture Show event. I was tired, so I climbed into bed and left the door unlocked for her so she could let herself in and wake me up. Trouble was, once in bed, I couldn’t sleep, so I figured I’d just pretend to be asleep and grab her when she was close and kiss her and whatnot. Silly, I know, but I’m goofy like that.
An hour later, I hear the door open. At this point I was impatient, so I climbed out of bed and went to the hallway to greet her. The master bedroom exits to the hallway and the front door is at the end of the hallway, on your left if you just left the master.
Except, the door wasn’t open. I do the usual, check the door, walk around the house to make sure nobody broke in, ect. I chalk it up to nerves and climb back in bed.
About half an hour later, I hear footsteps in the hallway. They were so clear, I could hear the sound of carpet scuffing against shoes. They were slow, deliberate, as if someone were intentionally being sneaky. I go out again, and lo and behold, nothing. No person, no footprints, no nothing.
To that, I don’t know what to think. Maybe someone was walking outside and I simply misheard. It’s possible, I mean I do have a neighbor, his house is fairly close, sure. Getting back from my second deployment in Iraq has left me with slightly impaired hearing, so it is completely plausable.
So, I crawl back to bed, determined not to let these noises and my imagination get the best of me. Now, I had been in bed, pretending to be asleep, when I heard the footsteps again. They made their way into my bedroom, and the hair on my body started to rise. But it was so clear, I was certain it was the woman I was waiting for.
The temperature didn’t change. I didn’t feel any evil presence or any sense of holiness or any nonsense like that. The typical things that people report didn’t happen. But this is what did happen, that I simply can’t explain away:
I sleep on my stomach, one leg up, one arm under pillow, the other arm laying outwards. Near my hand, I feel the mattress depress, as if someone placed a hand on it as a balance as they started to climb onto it. My mattress is one of those memory foam deals, where a person sinks relatively deeply into it til the bed has enough compression to push back and stabilize.
I immediately sweep my arm across where the hand should be and look. I don’t see anything or anyone, but I watch as the memory foam slowly rises back to it’s standard flat position, the indentation clear as day til the memory foam recovers. SOMETHING had to have done that. I was the only one in the house.
Since that incident, there have been a few things, but they are are easily explained. I hear a woman calling my name, but that is more than likely an outside noise that I only percieve to sound like a woman calling my name. My woman -friend spent the night last night, and brought her dog, a lab mix. I’ll admit that I was curious to see how the dog would react given the circumstances. What it ended up doing was a little odd. Instead of being fine, like I expected, or chasing invisible things, like I hoped, it kept whining and generally acted sad and scared. I would have to attribute that to more along the lines of being in an unfamiliar territory rather than anything paranormal.
Which still leaves me with the hand impression in the bed. What the heck was that?
Nice story Christopher,
First off i wanted to say most people are skeptics until they experience something profound. What it sounds like is a haunting. I know the house is not old, but sometimes it is the land that is haunted and not the house. Also i surprised at how many places are built on old burial grounds even though there may be no record. Anyways, back to what i was saying. Because the ghost made an internation on your bed that indicates it is a Poltergeist type haunting. You have two options, ignore it and go about your normal day and have experiences every now and then. Some may be scary and some may be enlightening. It could be a spirit attached to you, meaning a relative etc. Or you could do a house cleanse to help the spirit or spirits move on.
I really need answers. I have been so afraid I am ready to pack my kids up and leave. Last night my husband and I took our babies up to my daughters room to dress them for bed. I wound up a music box because my daughter was fussy and placed it on a table next to her rocking chair and my son started acting weird so i observed his face and body reactions. He began by watching the music box and then he glanced over at the chair and started whining I told him it’s okay and the next thing I knew he was really freaked out. He wrapped his arms and legs around me,was screaming and shaking and buried his face into my neck. He did peak out at one point looked directly at the chair and had the same exact reaction so I took him to my bedroom and got him to calm down but for the rest of the evening he got very upset just looking in the direction of my daughter’s room. I was completly freaked out I was ready to take the kids to my mom’s house. I dont know what is going on here. Should we be afraid?? Please i really need a response by the way my son is 18months old.
Hey Erica,
Sorry for the delay in reply, what it sounds like is your son is seeing a spirit in the chair and that room. What i recommend you is a house cleanse. This is best done by finding (yellow pages) a good psychic to help. You could even go to the church and ask the priest, but most of the time they do not help. The spirit needs to be told to move on. Kids and baby’s or more open to seeing these things than we are as adults so the spirit will notice them more.
I’ve never been a big believer of this sort of activity, but have some strange things going on in my home. About 3 weeks ago, I started to get woke up by very chili air and my skin had actually some sweat or moisture. During this time I have an overpowering smell and taste that almost has me throwing up. It was once every couple of days, but now its turning into 2-3 episodes a night. I have had some other things that happened years ago, like banging on the walls when sleeping. I actually moved my bedroom because I couldn’t sleep in that room any longer. Almost every early morning, I also hear a pidder padder of footsteps in my room or above my room(cant really tell) I chalked it up to a rodent on my flat roof above my room. My girlfriend says she hears it too, but she thinks it is in the room and its not a rodent. I sometimes feel that I am being watched while sleeping, which my sleep time is getting somewhat interupted at the moment. Any Ideas? Im ready to go to the doctor to see if its something wrong with me.
Hi Jeff,
Yes it sounds like a haunting. A poltergeist style haunting (banging) First off go to doctor to clear your mind of that then i recommend you find a good psychic and do a good house cleanse. From what it sounds like i had a very similar experience when i was young and that was a very haunted house.
hi! my father is having scratches on his back after every nigth none of us(mom & i) have big nails and my father’s health also suddenly gone bad. We went for a doctor checkup but nothing bad thing related to his health came up. i’m scared because recently i lost my grandfather (my mother’s father) & grandmother (my father’s mother) on feb 13 2010 & feb 15 2010. i’m getting scared because my father was the most lovable son of my grandmother & i think she visits everynight to see my father. she didnot want to die she wanted to live more…but fate took her. Every night i also feel so scared without any reason i don’t know why?. i’m not so feary type girl but i feel uncomfortable in my flat from past 5years as we entered our new flat.yeh after 12 pm at night i hear some weird noise from my terrace and as i lye down on bed i try to ignore the sound and also try to sleep but i shiver like anything . so, timon please help me out and tell what you think about my father’s case.I hope you will reply!
Hey Ainreesha,
It possibly sounds like a communication with your father. I would suggest to do a house cleansing to help the spirits move on. If that does not help then seek a good psychic to help you out with your whole family that is effected.
every night i go to sleep my light always turns on then off on then off
where ever i go theres always strange things happening 4 eg i went 2 this motel and the light was ok at night but when i woke up the light was smashed then when we had 2 pay 4 it the money was on the desk the all of a sudden it was on my bed up stairs
hi timon im hopping you can help me about 5 weeks ago i moved into a new house my room had lots of mirrors anyway when i went to sleep at about 10:00 and when i was asleep i saw a shadow and felt a shiver then the morning i woke up where i felt the shiver i saw a very big bruse i told my friends he did not know. plz reply timon
Hey Jake,
What i recommend you try is covering some of the mirrors and see if it dies down. Sometimes mirrors can play tricks on the mind. If the activity does not start to stop then i recommend you maybe do a house cleanse. Also try not to fear it, this can give it power. Instead be strong and it may move on if it feels your inner strength.
Hello Timon-
I have lived in my house for 12 years, house built in 1927. There was minimal, non-threatening activity when I first moved in, such as unexplained music coming from the wall (which is backed up against a hill), objects moved and throw across room, and once an apparition. I have no doubt that this ghost is female. I welcomed her to stay and simply asked her not to frighten me, and she has all but been silent.
Then, yesterday I was inside (no breeze possible), and a door opened and shut! I screamed and went to look. No one there. Last night my boyfriend and I BOTH heard our gate open and shut and heavy footsteps in the snow. Went outside and there were no footprints and the gate looked as if it had not been touched (snow build up). Can you explain this? My boyfriend said he saw an apparition of a large man, 6″4″ and that the man looked angry. I don’t know what to think. Any suggestions? Thank you
Hi Phoebe,
Sounds like a poltergeist. If you wanted you could do a house cleansing which will help the spirits move on. It’s sounds like the spirits want to be known and maybe they want more control. I would recommend a good house cleansing before it gets out of hand.
well at night my telivision is turned off and then when i wake up like after 30 mins its on and nobodys in the room just me and baby!!!
Thanks timon, i had now good knowledge of para normal activities.
Watching tv last night. Saw quickly a dark movement in my dining room. My 2 pugs saw it at the same time and flew off the couch barking, they thought someone had gotten into our home. If they hadn’t seen it too I would have thought I was imagining it. It happened so fast. It’s the first time I have actually seen anything. They have had episodes in the past where they are growling and barking looking at a certain area of our home. I don’t understand why I saw the movement this time, floaty, fast. no real shape.
many people have been effect by it. my mom has had objects drop on her in the middle of the night. we hear loud callings of our name when noone is around. ive had dreams that feel so real, these dreams wake me and are so terrifying. we constantly hear foot steps and when we go places in the house we can feel someone following us. doors move repedtly. shadows appear in the middle of the night….what exactly do we do??…..Is this ghost or demons?
My husband was in the kitchen and I was just outside the doorway of the kitchen in the dining area and when he turned around to come out of the kitchen he said “I thought I just saw Jasmine(our daughter) pass by the door. Now mind you our daughter is still with us here in the physical but she was not in the home at the time. I’m into the metaphysical whereas he is not so my question is, is there any significance to seeing someone in that manner who has not passed over? (Of course I had to text my daughter to see if she was ok and she was)
ok so i had a question do you think i may sensitive to paranormal ? when i qas about 3-4 yrs old i was the only the child and used to live in other home, i was always always scared in tgat home. i used to hat sleeping downstairs bcuz i would here someone walking around back and forth by me, never saw who it was bcuz i was scared and slept all coverd up from head to toe with blanket . one night i woke up middle of the night i was covered up as usual i stretched out and my hand came out of the blanket as it came out someone touched my hand it felt like a small childs hand but with thick fingers i stuck my hand back in sooi scared then i kept hearing footsteps by me. another time when i was older and had a sister one night heard in my room someone wallking around again i woke my sisteer and told her count of 3 we run to my prts room shes 8 years younger so she didnt understand why i was telling her, so my sister ran 1st and as i was going to prts room i stopped and looked down the stairs and bext to this big flower pot at end of stairs looked as if someone small was standing next to it staring at me i t was really hard to make out bcuz it was dark and didnt kno if it was my imagination. at age 16 we moved to new home and the vibe was different i didnt feel scared but now at age 22 isometimes feel being watched but i dont feel that same fear i had before, i also dream alot with spirits but dont know who they are, dont kno if that has to do with anything.
I live in a house with no history to it, but it’s near the grounds of an old mental asylum. When we first moved in I noticed whenever the windows steamed up a weird wax signature would appear on the window. It kinda freaked me. Mum kept on saying it’s just a mark that will wash off. Nope. I’ve washed the area myself but it always returns. Now there’s another similar signature but with what looks like text. I can’t read them but I can see letters. Do you think this could be paranormal activity? By the way. It’s been 3 to 4 years and the mark remains.
Hey Matthew,
Interesting comment, not sure, possibly it could be some really tough oil residue or possibly it could be paranormal.. Try cleaning with a solvent based cleaner and then see if the mark comes, back..
Hey!
I’m curious about keys. I’ve had several occurences with different keys and in different houses in 10 years or so. First one was with my car keys, they were in my jacket pocket where I always leave them. In the morning I was leaving for work and the keychain was violently twisted. It’s quite thick so that I can’t twist it myself.
Second incident was a few years later. I had left my keyring in the middle of the hallway table. I was in another room and I heard my keys clink loudly. I went to see and the keys had moved several inches to the edge of the table.
And lately in my current recidence, I keep my home keys hanging in a hook in the outdoor. I have seen three times that the keys jump and leave rocking in the hook. I mean a big movement. And nobody is near the door.
Do you have any explanations why do these keys “haunt” me?
And excuse my poor English, I’m Finnish =)
Hey Eevis,
Keys are a common occurrence, unsure why exactly except that maybe because they are used everyday so maybe our own energy stores in them that spirits pick up on..
I hear footsteps in myhouse..sometimes while awake and sometimes asleep. My sister has been here and heard footsteps of someone coming up the steps….she thought it was me..I was not home from work yet. Another sister was visiting and heard the same thing at night and looked and no one there. My 13 yr old daugher was home alone a Saturday morning while I was at her brothers basketball game and she begged me to come home right away because she heard footsteps that stopped outside her bedroom door. Her door was shut and she even had the radio playing while she was doing her homework and heard it. Every house we live in I encounter something ..be it a shadow or smell or footsteps. When my daughter was much smaller she said she could see a man that we did not see….
At my brothers house my son had seen a shadow of a man go up there steps…is it just my family..can ghost follow us around? My father and father inlaw have both passed butit has been years ago an neither one of my children were born when my fahter and father inlaw were still alive. It has been freaking me out and my sister and I left my house one afternoon and I locked the door and started to walk away and we heard the doorknob and at that time we both turned around and looked no one there…..help..what is going on….
I’m not sure if I’m having a paranormal occurance or what but for the past three nights I have been experiencing something I can’t explain to myself. The strongest occurance was actually just last night. My grandfather whom practically raised me passed away in November and I’m still grieving. As I was trying to fall asleep I had the biggest urge to cry for him so I did. After a few minutes of crying I fell asleep, this was around 11:30pm. After being asleep for a while I woke up feeling like something was sitting on the bed. Not only that but I aslo kept hearing the mattress make a squeeky noise as if something or someone was trying to make itself heard. My only reaction was to tap my husband and it stopped as soon as I did. This happened after 3am I’m not sure exactly what time but it was 3am. I tried going back to sleep but I kept feeling like someone was sitting on the edge of the bed. before falling back asleep though I also felt like I was being touched. I can’t help but have this ugly feeling that something bad is going to happen.
Hey Janice,
It could also be that it is your grandfather letting you know he is passing on.. Sometimes when one is close to someone after they pass they will see or feel there presence for quite a while after they pass. This is based on the theory they hang around for a while before fully deciding or wanting to move on..
What will cause tongue clicking sounds across a room and make my dog bark and growl where the clicking sound is coming from? Both me and my nephew have heard this and seen the dog go crazy.I will be lying in bed and hear a gun shot thru my pillow. And it feels like someone is staring at me from across the room and I feel creeped out when walking down my hall, I feel as if I have to hurry.
Thank you
Amy
Hey Amy,
Try to eliminate all possibilities of it being a normal sound and your mind playing tricks. Is the house old or new..? What i would do is record each time something happens and look for a pattern. Also consider taking a camera and taking a shot of the room where you feel like you are being watched.
I live in a major haunted home bought 2 years ago by my mother, the house has voices sound slike whispers, the tv does turn off and on like the power is low , i feel pressure like something is touching me. the hous eis on 4 acres and sourrounded by woods well a forest. last house on the left. I had a dream it was about a slave woman who was dragged into the forest from my house and drowned in a river …well i went for a walk to get to know my surroundings and there it is a river not even a mile from my house. the following week my mother had some sort of vision that she maybe seen a man hanging. foot steps in my hall. and this one always gives me shivers and makes my eyes water …i was having a photoshoot in my house and we caught a shadow sitting on lap. i feel it touch the bed at night. it even puts me into a trance most times. but not to sound crazy but this is really happening .. its almost better then amittyville horror. i always keep god in my heart body and soul.
Hey Unknown,
Your not going crazy, it sounds like to me that your house has some history that is replaying in a way like a residual haunting. I recommend you start recording your experiences and look for a pattern..
13.2.2011 Hi, 6 years ago i lived in epping victoria, were doing a few seances with my girlfriend from time to time, we could hear large things running up in the ceiling at night. another time i got home late at night and all my lights were on but the light was very dim. the scariest experience of all was my girlfriend coming home and walking in through the front door but with a figure before her, someone or something dressed in a cloak with beads head down walking fast down the hall way, i asked my girlfriend who she brang in and she replied nobody why, i then checked every room and found nobody , even checked in the roof., not long after i were bashed while in my bed with base ball bats was a break in, shouldnt mess with spirits.
