Can a house be haunted if...?

Consider the fact that Indians lived and fought all over the country before Americans landed and many died and were buried or creamated. Also pioneers buried their dead anywhere they died. We cannot be sure that nobody died there.

Yes, and that sprirt/image I see is real have been told by three people that my house is haunted.Aman had died there 2 months after his death I moved into the house,and before he had lived here,a Nun who had "fallen from grace" had died here also. So the "images" that I see I believe are them.Other than that,if it's nothing there then are nuts!!!

Can you find the question and post the URL in so we can check it out too....  \n\n\nBut personally.. no kittens cant be haunted. \nSure animals do sence ghosts and beings around a house.\nBut if they are freaked out by it then that is different..  \nbecause if they are im sure anyone would pick up on some weird things happening as well.  either cold shivers..  things moving about.

From what all you have said, I would say at least that room is haunted, if it happens, no where else. It doesn't seem like it is out to harm anyone, just wants recognition that it's there. Anndearheart

The stories say it is haunted.  I have been there several times and  I took lots of photos.  Nothing showed up on the photos (no orbs, mists, lights, etc.) and nothing unusual happened while I was there.  They do give special flashlight tours every Friday the 13th and at Halloween.  Sometimes they have ghost hunters come in a group.  No one has come up with anything definitive or all that unusual.  But, hey, you might get to the be the  lucky one!

There's no harm in asking the history, if you don't want them to know you think the house is haunted, then don't say anything about it, just tell them you are interested in the history of it.  Working on a house will stir up the spirits, I know it has in my house.  But talk to the oldtimers in the town, they are always full of info on old houses. Also, children can see thing til they are about 4, spirits think they are innocent til they are about that age and show themselves to them.  If they don't hurt you and your not scared of them, then leave them be, but they also say that if you tell them to go to the light that they will eave, that they just need someone to tell them where to go.  I fully believe in ghosts, but they don't scare me since I live with them in my own home.  good luck with them, and some people will think your crazy, but others will believe.

Ghosts and the paranormal?

My house is haunted. Not in a scary, eerie way, just that there is a parallel world going on here. I have actually seen a young boy in the house (not my kid!) who was floating in my daughter's room/doorway. I just happened to look that direction and he was looking right back at me. He seemed sad, or maybe he was in trouble. I looked right into his eyes. And I got this feeling that he was trying to communicate with me. My ex-husband was in the same room and didn't see or feel anything, though he thought I was nuts when my jaw dropped and I couldn't get any words out. My ex was in another part of the room and didn't see him. The ghost just faded out after a second or two, but as my brain was trying to process it, he was gone. He was a good-looking kid, shorter blond hair, brown eyes, white button-down, long-sleeved shirt, beige pants. No shoes or whatever--he looked like he was floating in the doorway. I think he didn't want my ex-husband to see him. The boy generally only makes himself known when I am alone. My present husband saw a glowing orb zooming and zig-zagging across that bedroom one night, 4 or 5 swipes, all the way across the room, over the bed where our daughters were sleeping. Needless to say, he was pretty freaked out by it. He has come to recognize the haunting as a necessary fact of living in this house. \n\nNo I am not a freak. I don't go out and look for strange things to happen. I saw this kid, I know I did. One night, I have heard footsteps come down the basement stairs and call, "Mom?" while I was doing laundry, and I yelled at my son to go back upstairs, that I already tucked him in for the night. NOBODY WAS THERE. I wasn't really paying attention to the kid coming down the stairs, just heard that familiar, "tha-dump dump" coming down the stairs and the "Mom?" It didn't really sound like my son but I was busy sorting laundry, not doing voice analysis. Anyway, I stopped sorting and went up the stairs, thinking my son was up at the top of the stairs. He wasn't. I was pretty upset as it had been a long day and the kids weren't minding and my husband was gone on a business trip. We live in an 80 year old house and the floors squeak. If my son had been out of bed, I would have heard him go up the stairs directly overhead. I called out for him and HE ANSWERED FROM HIS BED. I swear I heard somebody call me and jump down the stairs. That's when the hair stood up on the back of my neck. HE had visited me again. I sure wish I knew what he wanted.\n\nI have been advised to tell the boy to "go towards the light." I usually do this when he freaks me out. Sometimes things disappear and reappear right before my eyes. The house was built by a young couple in the late 1920s and they lived here until they died (she in 1964; he in 1974). There weren't any deaths in the house that I know of (they both died at the hospital). However, I do know their son had a serious car accident in 1965 and the wife and children were seriously injured--the one boy died. I suspect that is who I've seen. \n\nThis haunting is specific to our home. The people who lived here and played here may still be here. I think they like it here and (especially the old grandpa) are here protecting and taking care of the place. I like sharing the house with them, and I've told them so. The stove one time turned on by itself overnight. I let them know that is NOT acceptable. Sometimes in the morning on the weekends we smell food like pancakes, bacon, sausage. Just in the morning before we get up. Strange. That's okay--it smells good. They can make breakfast--just as long as they don't turn on the appliances again!

Yes I have. I've seen a ghost.It was in my backyard. My mother also saw it, too. I only saw it once, she saw him several times. We were not stoned, drunk, or anything else. We were sitting on the back porch drinking iced tea. He was in the yard. Very creepy feeling altogether. \n\nI have also seen what can happen with a Ouija board. That's the main reason I don't mess with them anymore. \n\nSpirits, ghosts and such are not to be played with.

I am a ghost hunter.  Yes some ghosts can, however they are not ghosts.  They are a level 3 or above poltergiest.  Ghosts in general are 99.9% harmless, the .1% that do cause harm are in this classification.  If you would like you can email me and I can give you more detailed instructions on how you can take care of this problem.  Just give me all the details of the occurances and I will be able to help.

a ghost that can interact with the living is called an intelligent haunting and yes they do exist.\n\nI've heard stories of ghosts asking the living owners to "Get Out" or say "Help me"\n\nI read one encounter where a person was knocking on the door of a house waiting on the owner when a female voice said "Just a second, I'll be right there" just as the owners of the house pulled into the driveway.  (the voice was coming from the empty house).\n\nSo yes ghosts can interact with the living, but i think its very limited.\n\nhere's a really good example thats been documented\nhttp://www.paranormalsoup.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22950\n\nPlay the evp link.

I do and I have come across MANY haunted place in my life. There was my grandma's house, my moms house, the local hospital, an old house I used to work at and a community building, 2 of my uncles houses, my aunts house and every house one of my aunts ever lived in lol, I think they just followed her around. \nBut I just posted on another question that asked about ghost the place I spent most of my childhood and probably has the most ghost stories in one place that I know of so I will just repost it here. \n\nI didn't actually LIVE in the house but I spent most of my time there. It was the whole location actually. See my great grandparents had this piece of land that they put a house on and later other family put houses up there to so at one point there were 4 houses with people living in them.\nAnd the whole area is spooky between there and over on the other side of the hill where another family had the same kind of set up. \nJust a few of the stories....\nMy great grandparents had 10 kids, one was killed when she was 17 by her younger brother who was playing with a gun he didn't know was loaded and shot her. 1 year to the day after she died the new rocking chair that was put in the place she had died in started to rock on its own, and the piano that she used to play started to play her fav song by itself, you could even see the keys moving. \nI also had an uncle that died when he was 17, he died in a house fire and he had a car that some of the boys from town used to try and steal so my grandma brought it up there so that her dad could keep on eye on it. When my cousin and aunty were walking from the main house to the house they lived in they passed that car, and inside they saw my uncle and he waved at them. \nMy aunt used to watch the neighbors little boy, he was 4 yrs old and would walk over by himself through, and one time he said that a group of braves followed him and another time he got to my aunts crying and said this little old lady followed him and said he was going to be a chief, he said she was still there and tried to point her out to my aunt. My aunt even got down on her hands and knees to look down his arm and didn't see anything.\nShortly after that the boy was killed when he was riding on the hood of his moms car and fell off. \nShortly after that my cousin was sitting at her moms, the one that used to babysit him, and she heard his little cowboy boots walking up the stairs and heard him knocking on the door crying for my aunt. \nThere are a lot of other things that go on there, noises, shadows going from room to room, my brother thinks he saw my great grandpa once because he looked out and could see the outline of a tall man with a crew cut but him and one of my other aunts were the only ones in the house. There are also pounding on walls and doors and my mom heard someone walking around the kitchen while she knew everyone was sleeping.

Yes. the first ghost I witnessed was during the day. It was in my sisters house and my mother and nephew were in another room. I saw a child about 7 years old. At first it was annoying until I realized he wasn't living then it was scary. \nLove & Light\nSharon

I tend to distinguish between ghosts and spirits. When people think of haunted houses, they tend to think of ghosts (I tend to think of them as psychic echoes), whereas my house is filled with spirits. I love my household spirits. They're my kind of spirits. Very wonderful to have around. So I don't really have many stories about them because they're just so darned good. Mostly, everything in this house works better and lasts longer than normal, like the 27 year old water heater I just replaced. \n\nBut I imagine that what you really want are some good stories, so here are a few of mine.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nAs a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nI rarely ever actually see ghosts, but one time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a Pagan festival, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."
