I would appreciate it if :confused: could possibly give me their opinion... I sometimes think my house is haunted then when I think about it my mind says no way... I guess I should give a little info... My house was built in late 1800's. I am not sure how many different families have lived here but I know that the house was pretty much abandoned as a family home and turned into a hair salon and then a recording studio. I couple of years after the studio closed it was remodeled back into a house. I know sounds crazy ANYWAY! I have heard rumors about the house being haunted but I have only had a few things happen that could easily be explained by other things besides haunting. On the day we moved in, I was by myself unpacking & I felt like I was being watched, that I explained away to myself as me being paranoid about this old house. Maybe a week after we moved in the kids were at school, husband at work so I was here alone. I walked through the kitchen onto the back porch to break down some moving boxes, it was really windy that day so I decided to go back in. When I went back into the kitchen I shut and locked the door (as I always do when I am at home alone). I closed the kithcen door behind me (each room of the house has door from room to room... like most old houses do) I was busy for about an hour with my house work and decided to go get a bite to eat. I walked in the kitchen and the back door (the door I had shut and locked) was opened, still locked but wide opened. This has happened maybe 3 times so of course I tell myself it is the wind. The only other thing that I have experienced here is occasional flickers of lights here and there that I attribute to me being tired (not wanting to think about the haunted possibility). My daughter (14) has told me a few things that have happened to her. Her being only 14 I don't know if she has a vivid imagination or if she really experienced it. One night I walked in her room to tell her goodnight, she appeared to be asleep , I said " Oh she's asleep" and walked out. The next morning she asked me [F]if I came in her room the night before, she remebered me coming in and saying she was asleep, She said when I walked out of the room a few seconds later she heaed someone whisper her name in her ear and whispered something else she couldn't undrstand. I asked her why she didn't come tell me and she said she thought she was dreaming until I told her that I did come in her room. Another night we had stayed up late, until about 12:00AM her boyfriend had been over and left then we went to bed, me to my room and her to her room across the hall. SHe asked me the next day,"Who was knocking at the door last night?" I said what are you talking about? She said she heard someone walk across the proch to the front door and knock. WHen I asked her why didn't she get up she said she thought I got up because she didn't hear anything else. I said no I didn't hear anything. Then I asked her well did you hear the person walk away? She said no... I convinced her she heard something outside, like the neighbors or something, but I was a little freaked out! That's about all that happens except for the occasional creek and bumps all old houses make... if any body has an opinion let me know, I have convinced myself its not haunted but I would like advice.

Sounds to me like the place might be haunted. However, with a 14 year-old, she might just have an exaggerated immagination. Then again, if you heard RUMORS the place was haunted, it might be neighborhood children or someone just trying to mess with you. But, if you really feel that a ghost/spirit/entity, what ever you want to call it, is trying to get in your house to possibly harm you, try this: Get some powdered brick, and spread a thin line in front of your doorways into your house, and any spirit that is there to do harm, cannot pass over that powdered brick. You can find something like that most likely on the internet, in any kind of magic/ witchcraft store. It's worked for me.

I Just remembered something, if you want a more more quick and concrete solution, try TAPS they've got a website, you could try contacting them.

Have you tried to find out some information about the house before it was converted to a hair salon and a recording studio?

I would at least try to look into it and perhaps that would shed some light on the strange things that were happening. You can even ask some neighbors, they may know or might have heard something about the house and the people that used to live in it.

Do you still receive some old mail that belonged to the previous owners? The court house is another place that you can find out the names of the people who used to own the house along with searching the internet using those names you might discover something.

If you need my help in searching, I would be glad to help out. Either way, please keep updating on what else happened and any other information you may find.

Thanks in advance.

Could be. Wouldn't say its anything to worry about though. My friends bedroom is haunted by a cat, its so creepy, you can hear occasional meowing and big scraches appear on your body, then they're gone by morning. Seems lke your ghost just doesn't want to be thrown out. But it might not be, the door thin is probably because its an old house.

Sounds like it is to me, but one has to investigate very closely.

Definitely could be haunted, it is worth it to have it checked out there are plenty of investigators willing to investigate for free. The only problem with investigators is that they can not tell you who it is or why they are doing the haunting, which is really what you want to know after you find out it is haunted. A fellow medium and myself specialize in actually finding out who is responsible and why because that is the question :)

Was the price of your house compared much lower to the other houses in your neighborhood? If so, then you know something is definitely wrong. Perhaps you can ask your neighbors around they might have a lot of information.

Does your house have a basement?

Are you thinking of reselling?

Yes the price was lower, Im just interested in researching these incidents. We have a basement it has a two rooms, one for the furnace, a small room of to the side where the walls are rock and mortar, and a crwal space towards the front of the house. Last night as I was writing the question my wife felt a tapping from underneath her pillow. I have heard things but I try to find logical explanations for them. Pat

Try to find as many names and phone numbers of the previous owners and ask what experiences they had and if they know anything. It is easier to try to find logical explanations for the incidences but in your case I think previous owners, neighbors might have stories to tell of their own. Please let us know what you find.

Thanks
