How do you know a place is haunted?

Question

How do you know a place is haunted?

Answer 1

Different people experience it differently. Some people are somehow not affected by hauntings at all.

Some see ghosts while others merely feel their presence. Ghosts are detected as a form of energy using energy-probing devices in science.

Answer 2

Hard to say but

1. Strange Noises

2. Things moving mysteriously

3. If you have pets and they aren't around

4. You see things for a split second then it disappers

Answer 3

The place tells me. A perfectly ordinary place or home can be fine for years, then an 'event' occurs, and it's tainted. I've heard of people 'getting the creeps' upon entering a room, but that isn't how they manifest to me.

Blessing a home is a fine idea--purge the taint!

Just use your imagination- everyone else does.

Here are some common signs;

Your cat stares at something

Your lights flicker

You see a shadow

Something is not where you thought you put it

You feel a bit cold

You dream about someone who is dead

You smell something unexpected....

Your 'paranormal' experience is limited only to the creativity of your mind.

Answer 8

When a chair moves itself across a stone floor, then it is  kind of obvious.

Sometimes there is activity that cannot be explained any other way.

You get as much evidence as possible until that is the only conclusion.

Answer 10

Usually people start to suspect something is up when they hear strange noises, things move on their own, lights flicker, electronics go on and off by themselves etc.

However, these in themselves are not enough. It important to look for logical reasons. For example, ghosts are associated with a drop in temperature. So when doing a paranormal investigation, check to see if a draft could be coming from anywhere. How sealed are the windows? Where are the vents located in relation to the "cold spot" that was reported.

The same applies to eletrical oddities. It be a ghost or it could be caused by faulty wiring.

And so on.

Once you can safely outrule all logical causes - well that's when it gets interesting. This would be the time when most professional paranormal investigators start pulling out their cameras, evps etc in the hopes of catching something on tape to indicate a haunting.

It is very very hard to say for absolute that a place is haunted or not, but the process of investigating, and researching the stories around a place can be very informative and interesting.

I hope that helps. :)
