How can I tell if my house is haunted?

Maybe I have watched one to many t.v. Shows but have you tried taking pictures in different rooms? You are supposed to be able to pick up images on the film sometimes.
DO NOT use a quija board to find out. This only allows more spirits to enter and possibly stay. I use the board myself but not in dangerous places.
If you want to get rid of ghosts, try burning sage through out the house and say a blessing. However, it seems that you spirit (the one in the house. And yes, there is one.)is a lot stronger than sage can handle alone.The next best thing is to find a church that does exercisms. It may sound crazy but it is in the best interest of your family.
Don't forget to try and talk with the ghost. Maybe a little friendliness will go a long way. Good luck!

I'm no expert here, however I will share what I know


Let's assume that your house is not haunted... The possible reason you are experiencing haunting stuff according to one of those discovery.com show, is that you may be hallucinating - do you have a lot of electrical appliances in your house?, do you use marbled floors?... The show say that electric currents in the air can act on your brain and cause hallucination

In my own experience, I tend to have haunting dreams but ownly when I am under extreme pressure - so I have practiced stress management inorder to avoid those dreams and....it works! - of course, in my example, there never was anything 'dirty' there, and that those dreams were purely stress related...however, you might want to try

Another thing to share, I've heard that people who play with things like tarot cards... Any other fortune telling type stuff tend to experience things like what you are going through, so I would totally avoid those things

Next thing to share: (this may offend) what religion are you in?, and how deeply are you into that religion?...I have heard of people being extremely devoted to a certain religion(e.g, having statues all over the house) experiences such things, however when they turn to christianity, those things go away. (so they are saying that they have haunting experience with religions other then christianity) - this is what I have heard - you can choose to believe or not - for me ..I do.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally I think you may just be stressed. I am not you so I do not know, however as I have said before - my haunted dreams are stressed related, so maybe your haunted dreams are too

Your daughter, perhaps she is scared because you are scared. And your dog, maybe his being jumpy and hating to sleep alone is just his character


Anyway, you can always pray to God - the spirits should be afraid of God, especially Jesus

Last thing - a question to all readers for this lady:

If any of you know the bible well, and that you recall the event where Jesus warned of thousands of spirit from this men to thousands of pigs.... If you know where in the bible this story is...can you reply to this message...

It would be even better if you can quote the entire passage in your reply


Thanks.

My friend and her family believed their house was haunted once, things kept going missing, stuff was moved and hidden. They called in a priest and he blessed the house and all of these things stopped. I don't think it's just a coisidence. It may be unlikely that such things as this could work if you do not believe in a religion, but it could be worth a try.

I would suggest leaving a video camera on a tripod or a tape recoder running in areas or at times where you feel such things may by going on, particularly when no one is around.

In one TV show that I saw on this subject a man turned on a tape recorder and asked a "ghost" various questions. He didn't hear a reply, but there was one on the tape.

Is your ghost a malicious spirit? If Not, sit back and enjoy the show. Ghost are GREAT conversation pieces. Especially when they act up in front of guest. Me and my girlfriend have been dealing with a phenominon for a couple of years now and no harm has come to anyone.
If it is malicious, talk to a local religious person about blessing the home.
Best O luck to you

I`m relieved to finally be able to tell of a similar problem.I thought I was the only one.Ever since my family moved,we`ve had an incredible run of bad luck and misfortune.(For example,in the past year alone,my father and all of his brothers have died,and they were relatively young and with no major health problems.)The bad things started happening as soon as we moved here,and it seems like every day brings a new problem or crisis.It seems unreal.Sometimes I think the place is cursed.Other times I think maybe since I never liked it here,I created a negative atmosphere,butmy instinct tells me that`s too coincidental.So I don`t know,I`m looking for answers myself.But at least now I know I`m not the only one in a similar situation.I thoght I might be crazy!

I can't believe it's happening for real . I have this t.v. In the front room
that turns it's self off , a lot. The only thing that is truly amazing is that
it only turns off when I leave the room and then once I return or view the
t.v. From another room it will turn back on immediately . Today I was in
my bedroom folding clothes and I could'nt hear the t.v. Anymore , I figured
that particular program had switched and the program volume was'nt as
loud. I walked into the kitchen , looked through the window that views the
front living area , and the t.v. Turned on right then . Then I took a shower,
when I got out I walked back in their to see the t.v. Off again and it came
back on immediately . Well I called my friend saying this is no longer a
suspected t.v. Picture tube going bad . By now I am very concerned .
I started to load laundry again , laid down on the couch in the same living
area as that t.v. And fell asleep , when I woke up I was facing the back
of the couch and coul'nt hear the t.v. Behind me . When I rolled over and
looked at the t.v. It came on again . O.K. Now I'm freaking out a little bit
and coming to a realization that this was very real . Today is 1/29/2005
and today is when this has happened 4 times . It happened again just a
few minutes ago and this has actually happened times before but I
dismissed it for t.v. Mechanical issues . I'm still freaked out but yet I'm
interested in finding out more . What should I do now?

Unplug the TV. Your "ghost" is probably some sort of person(probably a malicious neighbor), that posesses the correct remote control for your TV, and enjoys lauging at you...


Seriously, if you think your house is haunted, here are a few tips from the rational:

1) Turn lights on. Yes, it will increase your electrical bill, but it will also make you a bit less jumpy since your house is illuminated.
2) Play some music. Something soothing or upbeat.
3) Don't leave doors open. This will help eliminate the "dark chasm" feeling.

If these suggestions don't help, see a psychiatrist, who might be able to help.


Best of luck,
