    Am I being haunted?
    A few years ago, in broad daylight I went into my basement and I saw a white mist through an open doorway and as soon as I saw the mist I stopped and watched it. It moved from where it was to the right and it disappeared; to the right is a closet and the left is a pool table.
    Then around the same time except it was at night and I had just taken a shower and I was in my basement sitting at the computer, I was playing with my hair and I felt a hand touch mine. I waited a few minutes, then turned to look to see who did it and there was no one there. I didn't even hear the stairs creak if someone came down or went back up. I like to sneak downstairs for something to drink or eat during the middle of the night and whenever I leave my room I would always go out without a flashlight or turning other lights on except for the basement lights and I feel like I'm being watched whenever I go downstairs.
    Whenever I have to go downstairs for anything once I go back up the stairs I run up the stairs. I even came to a point to sleep with my door closed cause I would see shadows in the hall like someone is watching me.

    Many things happen that cannot be explained.

    Many more strange things happen that can be explained by logical, rational thought and investigation.

    What appear to be shapes and figures can be reflected lights or dust in the air or any number of things.

    The fields electric currant emit can affect how we feel and make you uneasy.
    And depending on the strength and frequency can cause illness in extreme cases.
    If your breaker box is in the basement it could be suspect.

    Look for logical explanations first , like a muscle twitch, that is caused by refelx ,
    Can sometimes feel like you been touched. When the twitch is slight.

    These are only ideas to consider , you saw and felt the things that happened
    And I am not going to try and tell you what is was. Just that there may be
    Other considerations.

    I have experiences that have shown me the paranormal can happen
    To anyone , anywhere and I take it seriously.

    Keep a record of what happens

    Try recording just let it run ,and/or take pictures, or video in the places you have seen this and see if anything shows up.


    Are there more details or backround you could give about this?

    We can try to find some answers.

    Comment on martinizing2's post
    A couple weeks ago, I ran to the bathroom to put something away and I thought I saw a person standing in my room so I went back into the hallway and there was nothing there. I was still in the bathroom and a couple minutes later I heard a voice that sounded like an old person, and I asked my mom and it wasn't her. And my dad was bowling.

    You said that this started a few years ago.

    Since the first thing (I am assuming it was the mist in the basement)
    How often do you have these things happen since then.
    Weekly, monthly, just a close estimate to help me understand
    What you're experiencing .

    Has anyone else experienced anything?

    Have you talked to anyone about this?

    Is this very frightening for you?

    Remember that most of the time these things can be explained.
    Houses that heat up in the sunlight then cool off at night
    Can make an extraordinary number of different sounds that
    Can sometime sound like foot steps, or moaning , or laughing
    Even people talking.

    Tha plumbing can make a symphony of noises that can resemble
    Knocking , whispering , rumbling and on and on.

    Also if you have been scared by something you believe to
    A paranormal event, your brain can switch into a mode that
    Is " sensitive " to anything that may be unusual as a reflexive
    Defense .
    This may also cause your brain to fill in some of the details
    To fit the paranormal mode in this heightened state of awareness.
    This can make the experience seem to be more than it really is.

    Keep these things in mind and the fact that in thousands and
    Tens of thousands of reports of the paranormal,
    The claim that anyone is hurt or injured by these is almost 0.

    And it is much easier to make sense of the posts
    When you put them in the "My Answer" box at the bottom
    Of the pages. Thanks

    How long have you been in the house?

    @hauntinghelper, we moved in when I was about 3 or 4.
    @Martinizing2, no one else expierenced it. The only people I talked to was a chat room for ghost adventures and my mom and they think it was my grandma. It isn't frightning but when I get the feeling I'm being watched it scares the living crap out of me.

    That is understandable for these things to cause us to be afraid. I think it is human nature to be afraid of what we don't understand.

    Nobody can really say for sure if it is your grandma.
    I'd like to be able to tell you it was , grandmas are very special.

    But nobody knows for sure because we don't understand all that
    Will happen after we pass from this life. We may be allowed to watch
    Over our loved ones for a time or be able to whenever we want to.

    Neither religion or science has been able to find out enough to give a reasonable answer about this.

    Keep this in mind as you look for possibilities.

    That is true... but if it is a spirit who may it be? Cause at one point I thought the people who lived in this house before us, someone died and their soul isn't at rest

    I think religion has proven this... it's just a matter of people believing it or not... and of course people in the church really providing biblical deliverance... proper post and pre deliverance care is essential. It would be a spirit iluvgac19, but believe me, there soul is at rest. If someone did, in fact, die in the house... you really don't know much about their "spiritual baggage" so to speak... it very well could be a spirit that was quite acquainted with that individual. Spirits stick around human habitation simply because that is their best way to interfere with us.

    All right...

    If you want it gone, I suggest finding a church that knows the biblical stance on these issues.

    If it hurts me then I'll decide if I want to get rid of it. I wouldn't like to step foot in a church. I'd like to speak with it first but I don't know how to. Should I try automatic/ghost writing?

    First , can anybody prove it is a spirit ?

    Nobody can say for sure what is going on.

    That's why it is necessary to investigate all of the alternatives.

    Before you do anything I would wait until you
    Know what you're talking to.

    You'd feel silly talking to the house creaking or
    The electrical box that emits energy that makes people uneasy.

    And you'd really feel bad if in trying to interact with
    Something that you don't understand you unleash more than you
    Ever bargained for.

    Find out what you're dealing with first.

    OK how would I do that? Pics? Or do I do research on the house? Also what happens if the electric box is open or the box is closed?

    My point is check everything.
    Take pics, leave a recorder on and see if anything gets picked up.
    Find out what you can about the history of the place.
    Extreme traumatic events seem sometimes to leave residual traces that some can perceive.

    It doesn't matter if the electrical box is open or closed, they emit energy that can affect you, and that is the point.

    I am not saying one way or the other , I'm trying to give some ideas of what to look for.

    One thing I would advise against is any interaction or attempted contact.

    That can be an invitation too much bigger problems.

    Have your house blessed. You can do that with a call to a church usually since you say you don't want to step into a church.

    Do you understand what automatic writing is? It's giving oneself over to a spirit entity for communication. Does that really sound like a smart thing to do? You are unaware of it's intentions and you are willing to try something like this before you would consider stepping inside a church? I'd say someone has had a bad church experience.

    I just don't do well at churches I get to ansy and can't sit still. Yes I know what automatic writing is I researched it like 4 months ago cause I want to be a medium/psychic.OK How would I go about finding research on my house? There's a library in town but its newly built and hardly has anything in it.

    Some cities will have old records in the clerks office , check the county clerk also.

    Ask any neighbors that have been around a long time if they know anything.

    If I may ask , what makes you want to become a psychic/medium?
    And how would you go about "becoming" one if you are not born with the ability or a penchant to develop it as you age?

    Those I know who claim to be psychic say it is a gift (or curse) that they did not ask for , but ended up with it want it or not.
