Answer 1

talk to neighbors or old people that have lived in your neighborhood for a lot of years and see if they have any info on your house history

Answer 2

Anything like a "history" of your house (and the land it occupies) will be available at your Town Hall in the office of the Recorder of Deeds.

You'll at least be able to see all the prior owners names. From there, if what you're really interested in is finding out if any "foul play" occurred there, you can take the various names to the local library and search their newspaper (local) records in the time-periods appropriate.

And you may want to check this out, too:

If you are religious, you can consult with church representatives who may agree to "bless" the house, as well.

There are more things twixt heaven and earth than the mind can conceive.

Good luck

Answer 3

If your town has a Historical Society, check with them.

No matter what you hear about ghosts or spirits; they can't hurt you. Paranormal activity is pretty much common place these days. Invite "it" to dinner ask it to leave. It must find you friendly because it approached you.

Answer 4

I don't know, but I once lived in a house that seemed to have a ghost. I think that's cool -- wish I had one now. See if you can communicate and make friends.

Answer 5

Check with your local historical society. Most towns or counties have them, and if something unusual is associated with your house, they might know about it.
