How to convince friends that my new house isnt haunted?

Question

So next week i'm moving into my new duplex with my mom. my friends spent the weekend over there and they're convinced it's haunted. It's basically my basement it has a dungeon door, like huge with those weird latch locks. Also theres this one room that bends in with the concrete door, it has these weird planks and looks like an old prison. the house was built in the early 1900's. Also there is a grave yard that has graves from the 1700s to the early 1900s. any advice? oh and also the attic has nails like at least 200 sticking through the ceiling.

Answer 1

Never heard of a duplex haunting.

Think up a better way to waste our time.

Answer 2

Sounds kool to me! Have you had any unusual experiences down there? How long have you been sleeping down there? You will know if it's haunted or not after a short while. If it is haunted, then it is! If not, then dont worry about it! It sounds like a cool place to see and visit! At least you'll have something to talk about...

Answer 3

wait a minute!! did you say your house has a graveyard!?!?!?! ahhhhh! If I was your friend I would not go visit you anymore :S

Answer 4

If your friends believe in haunted houses, you need new friends.  Try to find some that are grown up.

Answer 5

Some old homes just look scary.  I live in an old home with nails sticking out in the Attic too.  Couldn't sleep as a kid at all.  My sister comes to visit and her entire family of 5 sleep in the same room although there are a dozen rooms.  

Nothing but time will make you feel like it's safe.  Well, it helps to keep a shotgun loaded and nearby. LOL

Answer 6

What an interesting quesiton. Thank you for putting it on YA. Sounds like a cool place. A great Halloween theme for decorating at that time. I would consider the graveyard and, if the electricity in the house acts strange, you might have a spirit running around. Things like lights or a radio comes on when you are reading a book and no one else is there, and it happens at the same exact time each day, or the same day of the week. Also, the energy in our bodies can be affected by spirits.

Answer 7

well.

since your house is near a graveyard i would say its haunted.

and if you watch scary movies then that sounds like a house that would be haunted.but if its not you should ask  your friends have you heard any weird sounds or seen anything and if they say no say exactly.
