VIDEO: Is Your House Haunted? This is How You Can Find Out!

People divide themselves into two categories, those that believe in ghosts and hauntings and those that do not. Still, there is just no one who doesn’t sometimes get scared that something is wrong when weird things start happening in your house. It might be the wind that’s making those noises or it might a ghost. You have to go check to find out, but be prepared because you might not like what you find.
According to thoughtco.com, sometimes you hear heavy footsteps in the upstairs hallway when you know no one is up there. Doors slam unaccountably. Commonly-used items disappear and reappear without cause. The kitchen light turns on by itself. There’s the unmistakable scent of a strange perfume in the air. A persistent rapping echoes in the walls. Are these phenomena explainable by natural events, or could your house be haunted?
True hauntings are rare occurrences, and it can be difficult to determine whether or not any strange activities in your home are due to a haunting.
For one thing, theories on what ghosts are and what a”real” haunting is—what causes it or why it starts—vary wildly. But if you are looking for reassurance (or confirmation of your fears), the typical signs of a haunting detailed below may help you determine whether or not you have a legitimate case of a haunting.
Unexplained noises – Footsteps; knocks, banging, rapping; scratching sounds; sounds of something being dropped. Sometimes these noises can be subtle; other times they can be quite loud.
Doors, cabinets, and cupboards opening and closing – Most often, these phenomena are not seen directly. Residents of the house may hear doors opening and closing or may return to a room to find a door open or closed when they are certain that it was left in the opposite position.
Lights turning off and on – Likewise, these events are seldom experienced as they occur. Rather, the lights are switched on or off when the house’s resident knows they were not left that way. This can also happen with TVs, radios and other electrically powered items.
Items disappearing and reappearing- it’s the familiar experience of not being able to find a regularly used item—say, your set of car keys—which you believe you placed in a spot you routinely place them. But they’re gone and you look high and low for them with no success. Some time later, the keys are found—in exactly the place you normally put them. It’s as if the object was borrowed by someone or something for a short time, then returned.
Unexplained shadows – The sighting of fleeting shapes and shadows, usually seen out of the corner of the eye. This phenomenon has also been discussed in some detail in “Shadow People.” Many times, the shadows have vaguely human forms, while other times they are less distinguishable or smaller.
Strange animal behavior – A dog, cat or other pet behaves strangely. Dogs may bark at something unseen, cower without apparent reason or refuse to enter a room they normally do. Cats may seem to be “watching” something cross a room. Animals have sharper senses than humans, and many researchers think their psychic abilities might be more finely tuned also.
Feelings of being watched – This is not an uncommon feeling and can be attributed to many things, but it could have a paranormal source if the feeling consistently occurs in a particular part of the house at a particular time.
