How can I tell if a ghost lives in my house?

Question

I've always had paranormal activity go on in my house. Please give me some ideas on how 2 hear them, feel them and see them.

Answer 1

All I know (from experience) is...don't play around with it..don't go along with it..don't let it do automatic writing through you (you don't know what it might say)...don't let it do automatic anything through you. It might seem like a good spirit..but it could be a trick.

Answer 2

Answer 4

Children under the age of 8 are normally very sensitive to their surroundings and the environment. If you have a child of that age group, let the child play around the house for some time. Leave the child alone. Observe if the child suggest that your company is needed. Secondly, ask the child if they would like to stay and play in the house.

Children's responses are pure and if they say that they do not like the place, ask them where about they do not like, ask them to bring you to the location where they dislike, and in that location, ask the child to point to the exact place he dislike.

If the child refuse to enter the place they dislike, do not force them. Their innocence may be your answer.

Try to check the magnetic fields in the house. Check a few location, especially at the location where the ghost likes to wonder.  Prior to checking, switch off all electrical items that produces magnetic interference.

From my experience, areas where magnetic fields are not consistent or are clashing may signify the need for further investigation. Always remember to rule out electrical magnetic interference first.

I have not seen any but have felt their presence. I normally ignore such feeling and continue whatever I do. I noticed that if i ignore their presence, there will not be any more feeling that i am watched.

Answer 5

Have taps come investigate your house. Ask the ghosts to show themselves.

Answer 6

The ghost doesn't live in your house but it lives in your mind. If you are careful you can drive it away from there.

Answer 7

ITA with "ikilledthecamera". I'm a medium and have had ghosts in my house on a semi-regular basis and have experience quite a few things on that list. Couldn't have said it better.

Answer 8

If a ghost is in your house you shouldn't have to look for them.  They should be quite apparent.

This is the problem I have with so many of the ghost hunters out there.  If you want to see a ghost bad enough *any* noise will be the ghost you're looking for.

Answer 9

We would love to hear more detail of what it is exactly that goes on in your house?

Be careful. You sometimes get what you ask for. LOL. In my house where I grew up, there were footsteps, there were knocking on doors, there were cold spots, missing and reappearing objects (sometimes years apart)... objects would show back up in the same spot that they went missing.These objects have included dolls, a type writer (right in from tof our eyes), and books, papers, et al. Record Albums went flying across the room. From aleaning position against the wall they were thrown to the other side.  

It is amazing that my parents adamantly did not believe in ghosts and they put up with the same stuff I did,  You could hear people running around upstairs when no one was  up stairs. I have heard voices. I once saw some ectoplasmic something in my room. My room was the most haunted in the while house. It is a long story, but  people who were not aware of the history reacted to the phenomenon of the room. Also my father remarried a year before  he died and his new wife swore that my mother was roaming around the halls after her. The footstpes and presence she felt was not my mother but the same ghoullie ghosties that were there since I was a baby and since my mother was alive. LoL. Now Quid Pro Quo.

Answer 10

Get a usb web camera for computers that comes with recording software and just leave it running and see if you get anything.

Answer 11

just ask

Answer 12

If you're scared, I wouldn't suggest that you start investigating on your own.

Find a reputable paranormal team in your area and give them a call. Try to avoid ones that bring psychics or mediums or consider photo & video orbs to be anomalous among other things. I can help you find one if you'd like.

If you are not afraid and really would like to do the research yourself, feel free to contact me and I will walk you through it.

Answer 13

IR cameras are pretty good

And voice recorders.

And if you have any ground temp thermometers than you can look for cold spots.

Answer 14

Well, that's a hard question to answer, since there really is no standard body of knowledge on ghosts. Heck, according to our current scientific knowledge, they aren't even known to exist. So the methods you might use to find ghosts are going to be different depending on who you ask.

My ideas, as a skeptic, are merely these:

First: keep an eye out, keep several cameras handy around the house, and keep a journal. Don't rely on "feeling" ghosts. That's way too subjective. You can easily freak yourself out and think you're feeling something. Also, a small digital voice recorder would be good to have if you think you're hearing things.

Secondly: any time you think you observed or heard something, GO INVESTIGATING! Don't just chalk it up to ghosts. Find out what's going on. My bet is that 90% of the time, and maybe even 100% of the time, you can find a natural cause for whatever you experienced after a little sleuthing.

Answer 15

If you don't hear them,feel them and see them.Maybe they're not there.

Answer 16

make sure your place is quiet. get a DVR and ask some questions. get a good digital camera and takes some pics. Orbs dont count. And if you have one set a video recorder out and leave it on in the room thats most active and walk away for a while. see what you come up with.
