Welcome to a haunted house,

What else can we say ? If you rule out everything else, then that has to be it.

How can I get it to mellow out :(

Imagination is an amazing tool. Calm down and look for logical solution to the things you see or hear. There has never been a case of "ghosts" that has held up under investigation. When you look for answers though remember that just because you can't find a cause for the noise or movement of doors doesn't mean someone else can't.

Call someone to come over. Bet it stops. Or just plain talk to it and tell it to STOP! (very loudly)
Can you capture video of this?

Well I will tell those non beleivers my story, for several years we lived in a home in Atlanta, we would ( wife and myself) both see shadows coming past the front window in the shape of a person, but no one on the porch.

We had the smell of pipe smoke several times a week in the old dining room area. We would have doors open and motion detectors could not be used in the home. And best of all items would fly across the room off the desk and off the fire place. Not fall, but things like books, pictures in frames, would fly about 4 or 5 feet.

My wife and I both saw it, heard it and smelled it. So I can't tell you how, I can't tell you why, but I can tell you it did and does happen.

I'm sure as an outstanding member of the community that your not lying to us, but I'm also sure you never managed to get those flying books on video.

Sometimes, when I am playing the piano, there is the very strong scent of a woman's perfume near me, not of my mother's and not of anyone I have known, that I can remember. This has happened to me several times. I was alone in my home at the times of the occurrences of the scent.

I know that my home was owned by an old woman who passed away a long time ago. I also know that she loved the sound of the piano. I learned this from her son from whom I purchased the home.

No, never cared or tried to, there was never anything evil about the feelings. But as one who has worked in the church in some of the more supernatural areas, these are actually calm to some of the things I have seen in other places. And you will know evil if things are evil.

I can't tell you how ghosts fit into the belief of angels and demons, there does not seem to be a middle ground. But yes, all of these things, time the shadow was coming home, the smell of a certain flavor smoke, and all that fit the older couple who used to live in that house.
We have always felt that the fact we turned their dining room into a office was why things in the office area where thrown around from time to time

Maybe my problem is that since this section is in the science section, I'm applying science to these posts. Perhaps we should move the paranormal phenomena to the society section.

Fr_Chuck · Jun 13, 2007, 09:37 PM

Well many people that paranormal activity is a real science, there are many who spend their life working in this field, and to them this is real science.

But then a lot of what others call science today would have been considered magic 1000 years ago. Perhaps in 300 years we will discover another dimension that will explain it all and today's scientist will appear like witch doctors to the scientist of the future.

If a person loses faith and hope and bases everything on pure research, I really feel sorry for them, all true spirit is gone at that pont
There has to always be things that can't be explained

So any help with contoling what goes on in my house?

michealb · Jun 19, 2007, 09:21 PM

Sounds like you need an electrician and maybe a handy man to look at the door and window. Dogs freak out all the time they hear a lot better than you do and react to noises that you may not hear like people walking and talking down the street.

I'm guessing from 1994 and the picture your about 13. Which means your not going to listen to reason because trusted officials all tell you that ghosts and goblins are real and things go bump in the night. All I can tell you is that since the invention of the modern scientific method no one has ever found evidence of ghosts or goblins. Despite many well educated and intelligent people looking for any piece of evidence that might prove they exist, they haven't found any. Some people will tell you that this outlook takes all the fun out of life and it might. If you want to believe that your house is haunted go for it, tell all your friends. You won't be any more incorrect then all the haunted bed and breakfasts that dot the country side.
