Is your house Haunted?

Has anyone ever encountered and Entity in their home or anywhere else?

Here's what happened to me:

We moved around a lot when I was a kid, about every 2-3 years. In 1980 we had moved to a suburb of Detroit. We didn't know until after we already had moved and were living somewhere else but evidently a teenage boy had killed himself in the basement. Over the years weird things happened in that house that were unexplainable. One of my brothers had several contacts with this entity but couldn't say anything because it had threatened him that if he said anything he would hurt the family. It makes my skin on the back of my neck rise just thinking about it.

What's your story?

    Yeah strange things happen in my apartment all the time: tears in the carpet, random objects moved from the counters and onto the floor, strange hairs on the couch. I sometimes think something is up with my apartment and then I remember that I have cats.

    No but my brother and sister-in-law's house is haunted.

    For real.

    The first time I stepped in there my first thought was "Huh. Wonder if this place is haunted" because of the weird vibe I got from it. My vibe was confirmed when they took two pictures of the house and in the upper window you can clearly see in one picture: a woman in a high collard, long sleeve dress looking out the window. In the other picture a guy wearing overalls with one strap down (it turned out that they were the people who lived there a LONG time ago).

    Not only that but they have had experiences. My sister-in-law was home alone, went upstairs to take a nap and was awakened when "someone" sat on the edge of the bed. Their kids have had experiences too. She also said that shoes tend to go missing for a few days as well. She said that there are certain times of the year when there is more activity, one of them being around the time when her husbands father (my father-in-law) died. (mind you he never lived in this house). The thing about the house though is that it was on the market for a long time and everyone referred to it as the "haunted house on the hill".

    I'll be honest.

    If I had a ghost haunting my house and they were screwing with me by hiding stuff and thinking it's funny I"d be mad. I mean if you have enough time on your hands to hide my shoes then you can pick up the vacuum and the mop and do something productive!

    No, but apparently all of Hawaii is super haunted. We went to an old lele and I felt like I had a whole bunch of static on me the whole time. Very creepy.

    Two homes I have lived in had ghosts.

    One had a little girl who would love to giggle and bounce a ball and run up and down the attic stairs.
    She had been the daughter of the original owner of the 150 yr old home I lived in. She had died
    in a sledding accident down the hill behind the house when she was 6 yrs old

    The house I live in now is brand new but it is build on a revolutionary war battle ground.
    On my first night in the house a soldier in blue/grey uniform with big buttons, sword, tails, stood in the room
    I could see him as clear as anything. He has only been back one other time.

    When I was a kid my mother thought our house had ghosts in it. She went to the library and searched through the archives and found out about everything that had ever happened at the home, and the names of the people. And she determined the ghosts were haunting the home. Lol.

    And it doesn't surprise me. The town I am from is known only for a very very dark history. And I think a lot of people there think about ghosts.

    My mother also used to take us for picnics at the cemetery.

    Anyway, so much actual, real-life, bad stuff happened to me when I lived there, in that supposedly haunted home, that I can't even go in the home without breaking down crying, and family members that lived there needed to move because it was too painful to continue living there, People that know me can't drive past the home without thinking about it.

    I don't believe in ghosts. Just the ghosts of our memories that can haunt us. I moved away. Too many bad memories in that town for me.

    As a kid we lived in a house in northern Utah that was built in 1889. We had a fairly active ghost that we called "Frank". Just a sampling of the pranks he used to pull:

    1) Change the TV channel, and this was on an old dial type TV so there was no remote control to accidentally activate.
    2) Open and close doors upstairs while everyone was downstairs.
    3) Open the front door in the middle of the night. This was a 4ft wide, 8ft tall solid oak door and it would be fully open with the deadbolt sticking out in the locked position
    4) Open all of the cabinet doors and drawers in the kitchen. Kind of like "A Sixth Sense"

    I live in a very old (constructed in the mid-1800s) house set downtown. I wouldn't say it's haunted, but I've had a few strange encounters.

    Once I clearly heard someone slip and fall in an upstairs bedroom but when I went to see if he/she was okay (assuming it was a family member), I found no one in there; the windows were all locked, the closet was empty, and the fireplace was untouched. Another time I had come home and thought my father was upstairs doing renovations in the aforementioned bedroom because I saw his car parked outside my house. I was sitting in the room below this room and heard footsteps clear as day pacing to and from the door and window. It wasn't until he came in through the back door 30 minutes later and told me he was with a neighbor and hadn't been home for a few hours that I got especially spooked.

    i don't believe in ghosts, but if i came down in the morning to find my kitchen cabinet doors open like that and i knew there was nobody who had access to the house who could have done it as a prank, i am not sure i could spend another night there.
  • I think so. I just posted a blog about this recently. Good thing I'm moving next week. I just hope it doesn't follow me.

    When I was a baby, my parents moved into the house I ended up growing up in. My mom was holding me and she distinctly heard a voice which specifically called my name. I spent 17 years in that house and had multiple experiences, so did my mom and sister. Shadows, footsteps, voices, apparitions, etc.

    In the apartment I lived in with my ex, there was some kid ghost who would go between apartments in the complex and play jokes or do little teasing things.

    In the house I'm in now, there's at least two. One's not mean. The other one is pretty terrifying. I've always been able to sense them.

    I'm really over being afraid if people think I'm crazy over this stuff anymore, I've had too many experiences to deny it any more. I've also seen two separate people actually possessed, like, voice change, aggression, everything. Crazy ****.

    Wow......there are some really good stories.

    Another thing that happened to me at that house. One late night a storm came rolling in. It was summer so we always slept with the windows open. Their was thundering and lightening and lots of blowing wind. I got really scared (because I was little) and went to run out of the room towards my parents room. At the point I reached the door to my bedroom the door slammed in my face. Something was keeping me from opening it. I finally got it open and escaped the room. The next day I noticed that the large lead weight that we kept in front of the door to keep it open (because the room had hardwood floors) with was in the hallway. Mind you....this thing is HEAVY. Long story short.....something slammed that door in front of me. And one more thing.....evidently there wasn't a storm that night. No one else heard it in the house.

    A ghost stole my toast.

    I was making toast one morning in college, just one slice. But I put it in the wrong side and had to switch to the "one slice" side. A few moments later I heard the toaster pop, but my toast was gone. I looked everywhere, thought maybe it was flung up on top of the fridge or onto the floor...nay.

    Things in my apartment now move around and fall off the counter. But the culprit is my cat. She likes to watch things fall.

    My house was completed in 1872. It had construction begun on it before the Civil War, but got put on hold while that sorted itself out.

    Whatever is here is peaceful and wears lily scented stuff. I grow hydrangeas, roses, mums and daffodils around my house. That's it besides the azaleas.

    When we got the house it was bad off, front and back porches rotted through, roof leaking like a sieve. Yard overgrown to the point of jungle vibes. With every single improvement we make that impacts the house's structure or yard we tend to find dried flower petals on the kitchen counter afterwards. I don't know what kind of flower it's from, but I do know they aren't from my yard as it is now.

    Another thing is I leave very early in the morning. The upstairs has a dormer window over the porch. There used to be a window seat there. You can feel the lines of where it was in the floorboards. The floors are all hardwood and original to the house, never been replaced. But on several occasions I have seen someone in those windows sitting on a seat looking out. We try to keep the Roman shades drawn and latched at the bottom, but on these mornings they are completely raised. Curtains when we had them there would be pushed to the side.

    My hubby freaked me out once when we first moved in, I was in the living room around sunset and he went out on the back porch to call me to come help with something. He saw a woman out there but she vanished when he got about 15 feet from her. She was near the fig tree, and he thought it was me.

    Both my kids have asked on more than one occasion when they were sick if it was me checking on them in the middle of the night, or sitting in the rocker in the youngest's room. It wasn't. They are the ones who smell the perfume.

    Who ever she is, she is peaceful and stay.

    the house I grew up in is haunted...

    in particular my room, often the window that was closed at night would be open in the morning, doors unlocked and locked without reason, lights being on that were turned off...

    ghosts don't bother me...im far more cautious of people...
