Is there a ghost residing in my home?

Question

Last week, around 2:36 AM, I heard a door slam really hard in the downstairs hallway. I awoke to the slam and so, I went to investigate. However, there was no one there. Everyone was sleeping soundly. So I went back to bed, and a few minutes later, there was another loud slam. I realized that the slam was comming from the downstairs closet. I closed the door tightly, left the room, and went back into mine, and stood on top of my staircase (My room has a spiral starcase so I can see downstairs from there.). I watched for like 20 min., and I saw the door open again and it made a loud slam. I checked out the closet once more, and there was no one inside, and there was no one even down stairs.

My house is quite old, 203 years old to be exact.

All of the windows were tightly closed, so there wasn't a burgler.

All of my siblings and parents were sleeping.

And the closet wasn't loose.

Answer 1

Yeah there could be. Similar things happen at my house. I felt something flick my hair a few weeks ago and when I turned around no one was there. I hear talking and slamming and walking on a night and when Im in on my own. I think it most probably is a ghost. x Happy Hauntings lol

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Don't know don't care about ghost's.  don't believe in such craziness.

Answer 4

Spirits follow people not places.

GOD BLESS

Answer 5

The age of the home does not matter since spirits can simply follow someone home from who know where.... But if there are windows opening and door slamming or lights going off and on then you are really in the presents of a demon....... For the average spirit can not move a object in our dimension.... But the electrical impulses that the average spirit give off can only effect the local lights in the area that it is in.......... So yes you do have a spiritual presents in your home... But are you the only one in that home that can feels its presents.........

Answer 6

It could be a demon. If so you need to command that demon to leave your house alone in the name of Jesus Christ. Make sure there is no occultic item including occulic clothing in that closet because that can attract demons. By the way make sure you pray to Jesus Christ asking him for your protection before you do the above.

Answer 7

yes 203 yrs holy **** that place is old dont report me

Answer 8

It's quite possible.

To give a personal experience my aunt rented a town home that had a spirit that liked to visit from time to time.  She would open the kitchen cabinets and leave them open and when everyone was down stairs you could hear her walking from room to room upstairs.

Edit:  We called the spirit a woman or girl because that is what we felt she was.

Answer 9

i would call the ghostbusters =]

haha actually taps is better, with a house being 203 years old, i would think they would love to come and check it out.

Answer 10

sounds like it to me.

Answer 11

yes that most likley was a spirit, he/she is trying to get your attention. and most spirits come during what we call the bewitching hour which is in between 2 and 3 in the morning. just ask what it wants and see if you can help it. than it will go away

Answer 12

wow that's creepy, but if you wouldn't have seen your closet door close i would of said its your mind playing tricks on you, but that's not the case, i don't think. I'm just the type of person that thinks there is a logical explanation. you might want to not stress to much. "don't be scared of the dead the people that are still alive are the ones you should worry about"

Answer 13

Maybe it was some animal that you didn't see.

Answer 14

wow that's creepy. and it is very possible because your house is very old and some one probably lived in it before you quite a long time ago and they could have die in the house or maybe even in the closet. i would definitely investigate more and soo if you see anything else or ever try and video  tape the door slamming then go down with the camera and show that there is no one near so people will be live you. i hope this helped.

Answer 15

creepy... but yup!

Answer 16

Sounds like it and I'd ask the rest of the family if they have heard something as they might of heard this before too. You might find that it is just letting you know its about, Usually spirits become aroused when their are changes to the property or if your new tenants it might be letting you know its still thinks of it as its house. If it keeps doing this tell it to stop doing it don't be scared as ghosts can't hurt the living unless you let them, tell it to behave itself as others are asleep and be respectful believe it or not this actually helps, I do it all the time to my ghost kids, however if it does scare you and you are wishing to remove it then contact me and I will advise you how as it you don't say if you feel threatened by it. Also get some pics and film if you can as that's always good esp when others say your a liar as it don't seem to hide when your about. Good luck.
