We just moved into a new house and strange things have been going on. The stove turns on by itself and the temperature that we set it to sometimes either goes up or down. One time after dinner, we turned the stove and oven off and when it suddenly got really smoky in our house, we checked the stove. Well, two of the burners had mysteriously been turned on. Our cats frequently stare with their tails up at a certain spot in a corner for up to ten minutes at a time and no matter how much we call them they don't respond, they just stare. Also, one of my daughters went down in the basement to get some things and came up crying saying she saw a shadow, which wasn't hers.

Do you think our house could be haunted?

Yes, it is a possibility. How old is your daughter or other children? Could they have been playing with the stove knobs? I'm just trying to rule out other possibilities.

"Hauntings" are very common but are vastly misunderstood. Would you be open to talking to a church about this?
