Ever herd of a house under 1000 sq. feet, that is haunted?

Question

Do ghosts just go for big houses?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

the reason haunted houses tend to be the big ones, is that they don't bulldoze the big ones if it can simply be renovate and sold at a handsome price. where as the cheap haunted houses are simply burnt down and replaced with bigger newer models, rendering the spirits homeless.

it's just economics. plus the nature of the inhabitants may play a factor, as rich folks may have more reasons to haunt their homes after death as their final destination isn't to comforting (h**l). And most poor folk wont hang onto their meager possessions, even after death. nor have they committed any serious atrocities to become rich so they die with a clear conscience.

Answer 3

Yes. Until 18 months ago, I owned a 900 sq. ft. house in East Hartford, CT that dated to the early 1910's. There was an entity that was entirely welcoming to the house, was seen as a "shadow or corner person" from time to time, and was always accompanied by the smell of pipe smoke.

I have been in others as well.

Answer 4

Nope, it really doesn't matter how big a location is.  As long as the ghost has some sort of attachment to the place, it can be haunted.

Answer 5

Of course!  They go either where they used to feel comfort,

or or still looking for something, and do not know that they are dead!

Answer 6

I've heard of a mansion that is haunted but not under 1000 sq.

Answer 7

Never heard of a haunted condo.  You bring up a good point here.  Ghosts apparently only haunt old, spooky looking places.  They are more likely to be famous too.  They only haunt at night.  Basically haunted houses fit nicely into our idea of what is spooky--the unknown and the unexplainable.

Answer 8

That is kinda like a haunted trailer.  I suppose that's one of the reasons that when i was a kid I was never afraid of ghosts because we live in a modern house about that size and I figured ghosts haunted much nicer digs.  With central heat and no chimney I never really believed that story about my mom leaving the back door unlocked for Santa.  Oh well I suppose that's one of the trade-offs or maybe I should say advantages of living the the modern world.

Answer 9

It doesn't matter what size, ghost go where ever they were when they died if they haven't fulfilled their destiny.  Usually ghosts are around because they have unfinished business to do or they haven't been laid to rest.  If you want to learn more about ghosts watch, the show "Ghost Hunters" on the SciFi channel.

Answer 10

no i guess big houses have just a lot  of history . and who wouldn't want to live in a mansion dead or alive

Answer 11

In certain places in Africa, the traditional religions have "House of God" where they keep their ancestor's skulls. While they wouldn't be considered "haunted", they would be considered "Hallow" and visited by "Ghosts". They are the size of a dog house, and usually by the main gate. Most people wouldn't know unless told.

The Chinese believe (traditionally) that their ancestors are always with them, so all houses are somewhat "haunted" and it's important to please your ancestors with offerings of food and incense.

As for America, Most haunted houses are typically regular, at least the Houses. There are many haunted theatres, churches, and dorms, all big building. Everyone thinks my Dad's house is haunted, which is fairly large and complex. It's mostly cause of all the odd mirrors that cause illusions.

Answer 12

A ghost haunting any size house seems awful silly to me.

Answer 13

If you're going to believe in something as silly as ghosts, you might as well believe that some ghosts are snobs who wouldn't be caught dead (or undead)  in lower class accommodations.

Answer 14

Yes, to your question. Apparently neither the size nor age of a home matters, regarding hauntings.
