Is it possible for families to be haunted, not their homes?

Question

My friend and Emma and I are living together for a few months. Ever since her family moved here from Vietnam (during the war) spirits or something has been following around her family. There have been a few unknown deaths in her family and weird stuff alway happens at her house. I would spend the night there and feel like someone was watching me. Once I was walking down the stairs and felt someone shove me, but Emma was already down stairs. Her shower would randomly turn on and off at night.

I thought it was just her house that might be haunted. Now that she has moved in with me the same stuff has been happening in our appartment. Last night my dog was barking at something in the bathroom. When we opened the door the tub was flooded and the dog was still barking as if she could see someone that we couldn't.

I am convinced it's a ghost, possibly more than one. Could these ghosts be following around her family and haunting them? Why? What can we do? I am freaked out!

Answer 1

yes it is very possible

many of the times a haunting occurs is it because a person who has a lot of psychic and/or emotional energy is unintentionally drawing them. do not draw attention about it while you are there because something can easily follow you home as well. the old world asian culture can be very open to spirits and because of that they can attract them easily. the more aware you are, the more susceptible you are. but because they are so aware it may not bother them as much so they ignore it. when you are there maybe it becomes hostile because you give it the attention that they choose not to.

but if she just moved here what makes you think it isnt her house?

add on:

please do not listen to the third person's post, ghost are RARELY ever trying to warn people. most ghosts are malignant and usually trying to s***w with you. very rarely are you ever actually dealing with the ghost of someone they are appearing to be.

Answer 2

Yes its possible i suggest that maybe the ghost r trying to tell u something or maybe warn the family maybe. Go get a priest and get him to bless the family and house and aparment. ( cant spell) First u might need some evidence im sure u can call a person who does that kind of stuff then he will get the evidence and the priest can come out then. Hope this helps

Answer 3

that is pretty freaky! it could be following her family, if you really want them out you could get someone to cleanse the place.

Answer 4

Spirits can follow people, and when they do they usually have a reason for it. They're trying to get her family's attention.

Look around for a medium. A good medium would never ask you for money. Either way, (s)he would be able to tell you whom the spirits are and why they're here.

The spirits seem to have a focus on water. That could be a clue, possibly that they drowned and nobody saw it happen. These spirits are not out to harm, they just have something to say but nobody can hear them.

Answer 5

Yes, spirits can attach themselves to homes, pieces of furniture, places of business, cars, people, etc.  Usually something that meant something to the spirit when they were alive.  However, while spirits can wreak havoc on your home by messing with stuff like electrical appliances and water faucets, and might even cause some physical ailments in the people they haunt - it is not believed by any paranormal researcher that a spirit can actually cause the death of a living person - so I would say the unexplained deaths in your friend's family are unrelated.

You can try getting a sage smudge stick to cleanse your apartment, and your friend, of any negative energies, and while you do this - tell the spirits as politely as possible that they are not welcome, that it is time for them to cross over and leave your friend and her family in peace.  You can usually find smudge sticks at a local metaphysical or new age store, or any Native American oriented shops.

If this doesn't work, then I would contact a local paranormal investigation team for help.  (You can find more info through The Atlantic Paranormal Society - they have numerous articles linked here that may help you, and you may also be able to find a team local to you through the "TAPS family members" link.)
