Ghost
hunted indication
Since there is no definitive proof
of the paranormal, it makes it hard to tell if one's house may
be haunted or not. However, if strange occurrences happen on a
regular basis, one idea is to start a journal and record all
what you think is 'strange' and going on. Write down what the
occurrences may be, times they take place, any changes within
the area things occur, ( ie. cold spots, visible anomalies, etc.
), try to take pictures, something may show up in them to help
determine if you may have a problem, ( or not ) weather
conditions, tape recordings for strange sounds, video
recordings, etc. You can also write down any information you can
get about the place you live in, area, history, and anything
that may have occurred there that is NOT of paranormal origin
which may be the root of your problems - and those that may be.
We also have to keep in mind that some haunting are like a
"photograph" of an occurrence of the past, that plays over and
over - like a recording and not an actual "live" haunting.
Sometimes sounds like the water
heater, wooden houses expanding/contracting, weather changes,
etc. can cause all sorts of sounds that may seem spooky, but are
all perfectly normal things and can often be mistaken for
paranormal phenomena. ( Fluffy the cat jumping on the furniture,
chasing a rat, it's tail or it's own shadow can do just this ).
The human imagination has plenty to do with this, we often see
or hear things that aren't what we think they may be, a
nightmare, scary book, movie,
story, can all help to influence your imagination even further.
The journal will help you determine whether or not an actual
paranormal occurrence is taking place, through your notes.
If it comes to be that you are
really sure that a paranormal occurrence is happening, find some
experienced ghost hunters in your area, ( children shouldn't do
anything without their parents consent ), who can help you out
with your situation. Show them your notes, ( what-when-how-where
), explain to them in detail what the occurrences are, your
religious beliefs, things you, ( or your friends/family
members), may have done to cause the haunting, ( summoning
spirits through the Ouija board for example ), if you have done
anything, ( prayer, house
blessed, sea-salts, holy water, holy oils, etc. ), to try and
stop the haunting, if you are sensitive or any other family
member.. ( some spirits come about because they know that you
can sense them ), if the problem started there, or at a previous
residence, if the problems started with the previous tenants,
etc. so that they can know exactly what the situation is about
and help you. Most ghost hunters offer free services, and if an
actual paranormal occurrence is present, can gather more
information and possibly help you with your situation, (
depending on their services ). Don't challenge the spirit or
anger it, that will not help your situation and may only cause
more problems.w
