True, non-believers will tell you that there are no such things as ghosts, demons, poltergeists, etc. However, millions of people around the world have felt and/or witnessed odd occurrences and unexplained phenomenon around them, their friends, and their family members. So, it is justified if you believe that there are supernatural powers, way beyond our comprehension and understanding, that roam with us; around us. Usually, these cross-dimensional creatures possess houses. Do you know of any such house or is your house one of those haunted ones? Well, here are 10 indications that might help you reach a conclusion.
1. UNEXPLAINED NOISES
We are not talking about the random sounds you might here, once in a blue moon that have no source or explanation. Many old houses (and even new houses) have creaking floorboards or rickety staircases, but if some noises are specific and repetitive then that is truly cause for concern. Random noises are a way to detect supernatural presence at your home and if you have been experiencing unexplained footsteps, voices, doors opening/closing, knocks and so on (which have no human, animal or known sources), then you may have guessed right: your house may be haunted.
2. STUFF TURNING ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES
Ghosts, apparently, make their presence known by turning things like lights, electrical appliances and electronics, like T.V. and radios, on and off at will. Unnatural presence can trigger the creation of electro-magnetic fields that in turn may cause this phenomenon. Or simply this is their way of scaring, irritating or playing with us humans.
3. ARTICLES IN MOTION
Levitation and violently thrown things should warn you that you are dealing with a powerful ghost. Lots of people have had such experiences and they could not believe their eyes when they saw things moving around and even in mid-air without any apparent cause or source. A funny pass-time for these supernatural beings is also moving objects from where you had placed something with certainty, just to play with your minds.
4. VANISHING THINGS
And no, they do not stop at moving the objects around; some even make your precious and necessary possessions disappear just to cause you misery and tension. The vanishing may be temporary: after going through the whole house for your mobile that was supposed to be on your bed, you may come back exhausted to your room only to find it resting on your bed. So, if misplacing objects has become a regularity at your home and you or your other flatmates are not to blame, then pick up the phone and call up them ghost hunters!
5. RANDOM SILHOUETTES
Films capture this particular phenomenon well; seeing a shadow out of the corner of your eye only to look properly and find absolutely nothing; observing a silhouette outside the window staring into the room, only to glance back and find nothing. Have you been seeing these ‘shadow people’ too? Then your house may be haunted by them.
6. SCARY WRITINGS AND SYMBOLS
You go to the bathroom of your new house in the morning and there is “Get Out’ written in red on the mirror. If your children haven’t played the prank and there are more such writings or weird symbols popping up all over the house, unexplained, then maybe it’s time to get to the root of it.
7. ODD BEHAVIOR BY ANIMALS
It is commonly believed that animals can sense anything supernatural happenings around the house or any other place. So, if your pet has been barking without any reason, looking at corners and ceilings or has decided point-blank not to enter the house, then you may reconsider your decision to live in that house. Cats and dogs in particular are said to be sensitive to spirit activities and hiss or seem angry for no apparent reason if they feel such odd presence.
8. FICTIONAL COMPANIONS
Apart from pets, children are also sensitive to spirits and supernatural presence. Kids are easy targets of communication for these beings. So, if your child has been talking to an invisible companion and reporting troubling things that ‘her friend’ has told or shown her, then the time has come to investigate more seriously.
9. GETTING TOUCHED
This is the work of the more aggressive and bold kinds of inter-dimensional beings like demons and more than not, it’s usually done with the intention of hurting than just fun. Scratches, bite and hand marks are common in such type of hauntings. Many have even reported more violent attacks like sexual assaults. Oh my God!
10. COLD SPOTS
Marked by ghost experts as being the places with most spiritual activities these spots are more windy and colder than other regions of the house. Scary, isn’t it? So, the next time you experience a drafty spot in a haunted place, know that you may be close to the ‘being.’
So, if you are experiencing such signs of hauntings and ghosts around you or are hearing somebody explaining such phenomenon, then do not wait to call in the experts and get a reading on the house. Quick!
