So, I'm not sure if this a repetative thread or not but what's the deal?

Anyone on here live in a haunted house? If so, what are your stories and why do you feel that you do?

I can just sense spirits in our house; nobody can actually SEE them, but I know they're there. Just a feeling that I get. Plus, I got confirmation from a Ouija board.

If you just get "feelings" and not true sightings you can try a de-bunking withan EMF reading. Chek all of your eletrical; if you get a high reading on one that could be the culprit. Sometimes harmless FEELINGS, like being watched, can be produced by instances like this. They will go away once any electrical issues are fixed.

Ouija Boards scare the living crap out of me. IMO, do not ever use one of these unless you are with an experienced psychic medium. Closing out the Board correctly is very important. Also, if you havea Board that's been used and you're not sure if it's been closed down properly; do not burn it. That will keep whatever from going back from where they came.

It's weird because I believe because I've seen. But I still want to debunk everything possible to get to the real stuff, ya know? No, I'm not a psycho! LOL!

No, but my grandma's house is pretty creepy!

Is my house haunted? no....has there been paranormal activity?....probably.....( no I DON'T mean ABnormal activity )......B

Like what Mr. Halfhand?

You beleive in a lot of things. Ouija boards prove nothing. A sense of something is not a way to know something.

Mr. Eric-

I understand what you are saying but since this is my thread I would appreciate it if you are not rude to the members answering me.

Thank you

I wasn't being rude. Just stating my opinion and this is an open forum. I do apoligize if you took it that way. Cheers.

Okay hun. No problem

like the shadow entities that come in a foggy cloaked haze, induce a form of sleep paralysis on me, then PSI vamp the stress out of me (balance?).....maybe they are souls trapped in "purgatory" that are assigned the tedious task of relieving some of the built up anxieties of a day in the life of a "mortal" .....those are the only things that happen in my house that I consider "paranormal" in the respect that I am not completely sure of the source of these periodic life long disturbances....BUT I have confirmed (to myself) that I do have sensitivities to either residual energies or an active spiritual presence in certain locations...I have no current plans to further experiment with mediumship at this time, although I do in fact believe in certain aspects of PSI ....OR maybe I made all this up because I'm bored....HEY it's the UM forums baby! .......B

Thanks B- Cool. Let me know if you ever want to talk more about that. Certain "things" are drawn to "certain" people. Maybe you're a becon hun.

Yeah, I do believe in a lot of things. Why should my beliefs matter to you?

Your beliefs interest me. So what did you think of my response to you?

Well, I agree - the feeling of being watched can easily be dismissed as mere "infrared sound", as can sudden fainting, etc. However, I have witnessed black orbs in my house before (they're gone. no matter negative energies in this house anymore), and I have seen some apparitions in the corner of my eye. The apparitions I see are just staring off into the distance, next to me. Can't see FULL apparitions, just the torso. It's a rarity that I do see them there. Then again, seeing an apparition in the corner of my eye isn't a very reliable way of knowing.

If you are really seeing such things then you should do everything to prove it to yourself. Get a full medical & psych evaluation. If you are cleared there, then attempt to document such things with a video camera.


The reason I brought up your beliefs. Is that when someone believes in pretty much everything, then it is hard to take them serously.

Eric- I have had both medical and psych and I have nothing "wrong" with me. I started experiencing things at 3 years old and still try to de-bunk everything I can. It's hard to take sarcastic people seriously as well. I understand and respect your beliefs. Why can't you offer the same to others?

PS: Thanks for my rating change:)

I've actually taken a picture with my digital camera of the stairway where I felt like I was being watched from. Turned out, there was a small cloud of smoke hovering in the doorway at the bottom of the stairs. I've had a psych evaluation done before, and I am perfectly healthy psychologically. Medically? I have lung problems, although I can perform 98% of the tasks that anybody else can perform. When you say, "believes in pretty much everything", I fail to see what you mean by that.

I don't believe in vampires, "witches", werewolves, or anything like that. I don't even believe in God, so how can you say that I believe in pretty much everything? There are only two main things that I believe in; ghosts/spirits, and extraterrestrial visitation. That's it.

The funny thing about that small cloud of smoke, nobody smokes in this house; they all do it outside, and I doubt a puff of smoke escaped from the outside, seeing as I could not smell anything, and all of the windows were shut.

Was it near any vents or radiators?

If not, possibly something paranormal.

maybe? .....
the point is that YES some of these things CAN be attributed to psychological or medical factors but why can't it be a little of both? even the MOST stubborn skeptic cannot profess to have ALL of lifes' mysteries solved....(you can find THAT arrogance in the SvS section) ....the funny part is; that in many ways I consider Eric Craven the younger version of myself ...of course it would never be as funny for me to call someone "wabbit".....B

Hey B you're cool. Nice response.

AB- so was the smoke near any radiators or vents? If not...maybe paranormal

No, it wasn't near a ventilator or a radiator; the only thing it was close to was a stove, and I don't believe that it was on.

Aw hun, too bad you didn't have a camera with you or something to document it!!!

Isn't that always the case tho? Never a camera when you need one. LOL.

Let me know if anything else happens. I'd love to hear.

Take care!

Well, I did (at one point) have a picture of it. Because, as I said, I took a picture with a digi cam. I got rid of it because I didn't think it was enough evidence to indicate the presence of a spiritual entity.

I believe the man who died in my house is still here.

When we first moved in there would be loud banging coming from the room he passed away in, and (it was my sisters room) when my sister would be asleep it would sound like someone was moving furniture around in the room when you were in the one below it.

Also get the smell of pipe tobacco a lot. (he smoked a pipe)

After 12 years it's gotten a lot more tame.. still smell the tobacco but nothing really other than that. Sometimes the disc tray in my stereo will open and shut for a few minutes at odd times of the night... but that's about it.

*shrug*

Sounds pretty normal to me. Typical lost soul. What was holding him back? Do you know anything about him?

Smells, footsteps, bangs, stereo-- all that typical behavior.

Who is in the room now? Is it occupied? Maybe he wanted it all for himself and was making a "hissy fit" over your sis being in there.

He's just hangin' out now. Don't forget dimensions and time differences vary; so take that into account as well.

Take care

Don't know much about him..it was the owner's father.

The room is now where i keep my drums, guitars, amps and computer.. he doesn't seem to mind.

I've gotten used to it really..never tried EVP or anything..I'm kind of curious as to what type of results it would yield.

anything over what? 2.5 or higher would be a high EFP (frequency - smaller hand -held). An EVP would be cool too if u have the equipment.

He's probably hanging out with the instuments having a grand ole time. Nothing out of the ordinary.

You REALLY dont need any kind of electronic equipment of any kind if you live in a truly Haunted place.And yes,i have had some very real,no other explanation you can come up with stuff.(mine wasnt "just" haunted,though)Some people cant really grasp the concept of "ghost"no matter what is said.You really have to experience what a real "haunted" place is like...depending on the spirit,who may or may not be cool,(just like the humans)they were.

Very well said. Yes, I understand what you are saying but don't want to scare people since there's really nothing to be frightened of...make sense? Everything you said is absolutely correct in my opinion.

Take care

You mean something like this??

Okay no Mr. Potato Head comments. He's cool.

*chokes* sorry, I was swallowing some tea when I saw that and started laughing. Noticed that in one of your other, earlier threads.
I was surprised a few "experts" here didn't instantly go off about it. Friend of your's?

NS

We live in what I guess you would call a haunted house. My mom has seen the ghost in full form. It's a little boy maybe six or seven. She's also had experiences with something pulling on her blankets at night when no one was in her room but her. My brother and I have had experiences with shadows and lights around the house. Sometimes we get noises, shuffling, etc that can't be explained or pinpointed. Never happened before until this house. We've lived here just over two years, but we don't feel threatened at all. It's more like the little boy just wants to be noticed, in fact he seems somewhat protective of us in a sense. He's most attracted to my mom though. One psychic who knew nothing about me or this house told me we had a ghost named Alexander a little boy that was drowned by his parents. So yeah...there ya go. So either we're all crazy or really do have a ghost. Frankly, I think were all crazy AND we have a ghost. It makes for a nice exciting balance.

I certainly do and I have written about it for months on different threads, so dont care to discuss details at this time. JN

Do you have the photo? JN

Whats so funny to cause you to choke Nile? I would say your name says it all and your experiences as well. I suggest you search your soul, it might be a great way of cleansing your spirit..Just a thought..

I dont believe in vampires or werewolfs either. However witchcraft is alive and kickin..JN

I believe the military house, my family lived in down in New Jersey for seven years, to be haunted. It is just over the years, there were way too many unexplainable
occured. I have seen a black shadow person, going down our steps. During one time, when I was the only person in the house, I heard my name being called, by
someone that sounded like my husband. He was a good distance from the house at the time. Constant orbs, anomalies, and so forth in various pictures
of the inside of the house. Plus, the house is like a town house/row house type of house, so it was connected to neighboring houses by one wall. My neighbors house on
one side, I experienced the sounded of door slams, even though all doors except for one, was locked shut. The remaining door, was still wide open after hearing the
sound of a door slam. I have had feelings of being watched, and such, and I too have heard about that it could be an electrical spike response. It might be, though,
moving into my home now, I have had no feelings of being watched. Also, I feel more at ease and at peace in this house, as opposed to the house in
New Jersey, where I always felt on edge.

Unfortunately you cant just up and leave, it follows. This is my favorite orb, taken by paranormal investigators..

Yes And I am pleased you got out of that house in NJ...

I think we are all a little crazy just to post here and to all have had spiritual experiences..

Sorry hun. New here. I will look up your threads. As I said, i wasn't sure if this was repetative or not.

Take care

The response is what amused me, if it is any of your business. He said a black thing and instantly, she said "You mean like this" and produced a very good pic of an entity in the very next post and I laughed in surprise and at her tone.

Not my fault you didn't see that in her first orb picture. I guess now that obligates you to go back, look, and deny it is anything but ... a shadow.... yes, a shadow.

As for my soul's state, I assume now you fancy you are God... or have a direct line to Him to check into my business?

*sighs*

Please avoid comments like this, not least because it can be deemed offensive but also because it is completely irrelevant to the topic being discussed which in this case is haunted homes. Offering spiritual advice to random members in a public thread when not requested to do so isn't appropriate as these are private matters, please stick to the topic.

Thankyou.

seems my dads side of the family has the habit of constantly getting hosues that clearly have something in them. And whats most interesting is when things would occur thered be ALOT of people to witness these strange occurances. My nan just tells me story after story of what has happened along with my dad n anyone else on that side. But currently our house there seems alot of weird things about I have so many stories. It would take for ever to tell them all.
Once coming back from a long trip at 1am we looked out the back (our kitchen window overlooks the neighbours backyard as we live in an old 2 story house) n we knew the woman who lived in the house behind us n had reciently died. Getting a glass of water my dad saw her in old fashioned clothes walking along the lawn and then just disapeared.
My mother came out into the kitchen one night n saw a pale girl standing at the table. Ive seen an old man and had things "attack" me in the night.
One story which has scared the hell out of me and there are so many more as said was when i moved into a room downstairs. downstairs is 1 bedroom (with a bathroom) another room and the garage and a small room in the garage. I have NEVER liked it down there and my brothers siad the same as children wed never go down there we just didnt like it. But for some reason I moved down there and everyone who would come down there would just say something didnt feel right they hated it in that room. One night I felt particularly uneasy like something was watching me so I left my computing running with my music going to help me feel a bit easier. Around 3:30 am I woke up my music still going but i felt something was wrong. Suddenly my music stoped then a weird noise came on VERY loud like a gurgling, stoped then went back to my music. Now i know when a computer screws up it does NOT make that sound nor suddenly change the volume that loud. I felt something watching me n got a glimpse of my legs and I have never seen such huge goosebumps all my hair was standing on end n i looked in the corner n there was this big black shape I could feel it n the only word to describe it is "wrong" n knew it sure as hell did not want me there. I mustve sat there petrified for what seemed hours i understand in the movies now why your screaming at the person to run but they just stand there. I was exactly like that i finially turned the light on n stood up. Tho as soon as I got up my legs buckled on me i was shaking that much (i could see my goosebumps before as my computer was emiting enough light). I made sure i was staring at it the whole time n was just muttering nonsense about God n how hes protect me so not to come near me, my first thoughts where lots of swearing and thinking tomorrow id better find a preist. I would say beyond ghost as ive never encountered a ghost that felt that bad id say more demon (im not overly religious but this seemed like the right time for some holy water). I backed my way to the door n the moment i got out ran upstairs. I havent been in that room alone since except a few times walking thro n usually i have someone with me. Tho the next night in my new room (i moved out of there right away) once again i woke up. I felt something n suddenly my arm got jerked up into the air n i couldnt move it for some time no matter how hard i tried its like i was paralyzed. Ever since somethings been following me, i constantly wake up in the night to feel a heavy presence you can see the matress get marks like a weight is on the bed n i feel something lay ontop of my legs n torso but too heavy for me to move. I have noticed if i go to bed wearing a cross it doesnt happen.

Also about 5 minutes walk we have said to be one of the world most haunted Gaols (maitland gaol) and i live across from a park which used to have convicts working in it and would have things like whippings and hangings.

As for haunted houses, She-Ra, I can't say that I really have. I kind of consider that to be a persistent thing, versus one-time wierd things happening.

But, one-ofs happening, I have seen a few of those in my houses. For example, I got home from work one morning a couple years ago in my previous house, and stepped in the front door, flipped on the lights and started flipping through the mail I'd gotten from the mailbox and looked up at motion and watched a shadow person run along the livingroom wall and then down the hall before it seemed to go through the wall and gone. I was the only one in the house, nobody else, and I wasn't moving.

It was so fast, I barely registered it, and just sort of blinked and then walked down the hall after it, but nothing was there, of course. I sensed no threat or anything, it was just there and gone. That is one of the few times I have seen a shadow person while awake. Only once, though, did a sighting of one end up in any type of sad or worrisome results. I have never observed one to be lingering or doing the corner looming thing as I have seen suggested in pictures. (That is a good thing).

I have not yet settled what I think the shadow folk are. I think that maybe some demonic manifestations can seem like the same thing to us, and so the tales blur some.

I didn't sense "demonic" about the one running down the hall. I'd never read articles about them until I joined UM, so only had my observations and thoughts to go on, and I have wondered if they were actually OOBE apparitions. I do know a few adepts in that sort of thing and wondered if they'd show up in some way if actually seen while snooping around somewhere. In fact, I sensed *nothing* about it, which is maybe the oddest part about that experience. *Nothingness* was there where it was. As if it was a mirage, or wished to be believed to be only that.

But, there is one of my tales for your thread here .

NS

Thank you prokofiev and Nile_Shaman for your excellent posts. I think this may apply to both of you. Sometimes PEOPLE are the beacon and not the house. Does that make sense to you?

Some individuals seem to have a knack for attracting spirits and taking them "home" with them. LOL...yes, it's true. It has to do with how much energy the particular person emits. So, in that case there seems to me to be a bit of that going on withthe both of you.

Thanks for the reads .

In light of your words, then yes, that makes sense. At the time as I watched it run through it crossed my mind it had walked in from behind me, and where I worked at the time... yes, pretty spiritually dirty. I can imagine once it got inside it would haul spirit butt out, though LOL. I work hard to maintain spiritual cleanliness, major shielding, and ritual cleansing practices myself because of the old job. That really paid off when things went bad with a few rogue "family" members I used to be affiliated with.

Even with that, you can get harassed, though, and if it's a tough time personally as well, it can get rough. My one really bad experience with a shadow-like entity wasn't that long ago, and it wouldn't have happened except I was so tired at the time and didn't expect the personal malice fuelling it from it's hostess. I rarely see them to have studied them, don't tend to have them around, and got blindsided.

Live and learn

Nice thread. We should get some more good tales out of it .

NS

When I was twelve we moved into a little old house that was quite cute, until my sister and I got near the basement door. We were terrified of the basement and refused to go down there. All that was really down there were some shelves for storage and a well. The floor was dirt, not cemented and this bothered me. My mom is very sensitive, too wouldn't go down in the basement, she would get my dad to go down. She started storing things out in the barn rather than downstairs. It was really freaky. The next house we moved into, my room, which was the original little cabin had two spirits in it. One roamed and was friendly. I actually felt safe around him. But, the one in the closet, it scared me. I tried to not keep my clothes in there, because I was scared that it would grab me. I kept getting the feeling that someone had hung themselves in there. After I moved out, my sister moved into my room. She all of a sudden one day asked me about the guy who was living in her room, if I had felt him. I hadn't told her about the closet, and she told me that she kept all her clothes in boxes in her room, that she wouldn't go near that closet. It still gave me the willies when I would go home to visit.

I have lived in either many haunted houses, or else I attract lost souls, not sure.
