acute Posted June 21, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I did some minor ghost-hunting in my home recently, and wish I hadn't. If you are in a building where lots of people have lived (and died) over the years, you can always rustle up something. 3 1 4 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seti42 Posted June 21, 2020 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Every odd experience I've ever had has been either in the place I was currently living, or a surprise in a place I visited without the intention to hunt for 'ghosts'. I've never gone looking for weirdness...It either finds me, or not. (By far mostly not, thankfully.) I also think if you go looking for it, you'll prime yourself to find it.

papageorge1 Posted June 21, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) I suspect I have a non-physical presence in my home but I enjoy it and welcome it. At a predictable time of day it makes a scraping dragging sound for which I can find no normal source. It has been continuous in the late morning for years now and there is an unexplained stain on the ceiling in an area the sounds often emanate from. I have no intention of doing further investigation and suspect it is my dad checking up on things. He took family matters seriously when alive. The sounds oddly took a break for a month or two right after my grandson was born. My dad had other interests? My mother died in 2019 and it started up again right at her 2020 birthday. The noise occurred during the writing of this post. Edited June 21, 2020 by papageorge1 1 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaikou Posted June 21, 2020 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I think it depends on your circumstances. Going out to places has drawbacks too. It is possible for things to follow you back. Typically you don't find out that it's happened until it's too late. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the scraping sound happened while you were typing, it could be arthritis in your knuckle joints. 4 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Walt' E. Kurtz Posted June 21, 2020 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) No you shouldn't. just banish it If you believe there is something paranormal going on at your own place. @acute what happened when you went ghost hunting in your own home?.

I heard a lot of noises that I couldn't explain, and saw a man dressed in 1970's clothing. I spoke to whoever it was, and asked him to tell me his name, then I downloaded an app to record overnight. He said his name was Stan, but I worked out that he was a 'low level' spirit (Don't ask how, it's way too complicated to explain) and he was not to be trusted. I did more recordings with clear results, then I asked him to leave, and I believe he did. 1 3 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be sure I hope you banned whatever was there. I banned what was in my place with an LBRP and it worked just by playing the vid from the tube. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted June 21, 2020 #12 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) @'Walt' E. Kurtz I'm not sure what I think about sage, salt, and banning rituals. Maybe they work if you believe enough, but I don't think they solve the problem. In my experience, lingering spirits just need talking to. If you tell them where they are, and where they should be, they usually go. Edited June 21, 2020 by acute 1 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the noises are coming from your attic, you might have squirrels (or other animals) there which would explain the scraping sounds and stain on your ceiling. It is not unusual for animals who have taken up residence to defecate and urinate in one spot. If animals are not present, you should at the very least investigate the stain in case of a leak. The longer you leave it, the more expensive the repairs will be. 3 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the weird sounds that have me convinced that whatever it is, it is not small animals. Can I prove my claims to a skeptic 'no' and that was not my intent in this thread. It would be extremely difficult to say the least to get to the spot of the stain and frankly I am not that motivated. I acknowledge the sounds and the stain can be unrelated. It is the sounds that are most mysterious to me like someone dragging heavy furniture along a hard floor for about three to four seconds at a burst. I've heard this type of sound described in other paranormal cases for what it is worth. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the13bats Posted June 22, 2020 #20 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Why is the picture of the old sofa in the run down room the go to pic for haunted? Well i metal detect in my own yard why not hunt spookies here too, not to brag as this is a fixer upper over 100 year old but with full 2000sqft attic and basement its 4 floors and does have cool history, a B&B and speak easy, also other businesses, While i havent put in much dirt pirate time i have found a lot of cool yard junk, even though seller and some neighbors said this joint is haunted i solved all their big claims within a month of moving in and we have had zero experences, but any time i take a pic in basement or attic its got orbs Like i always say if a person is pestered by spookies just be a skeptic, we never have any issues... 2 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then we get a hundred garbage threads with titles like "OMG BEST EVP EVER" and blurry photos of nothing, along with requests for "help" because they think their house is haunted. IMO, keep your (and my) sanity intact - don't bring that crap into your house. Go snipe hunting somewhere else - don't **** where you eat.
