Has anyone here been in a real haunted house or experienced something paranormal in their own house?

Question

No jokes, please - trying to get serious answers.

Answer 1

Yes to all of your questions. You wanted people to give you serious answers yet you have a few who answered you with jokes. And, they aren't even funny nore true.
I have honestly lived in or stayed at homes that were haunted. I saw my first ghost at the age of 5 and it was not because I had been asleep and dreamed or had been asleep and just woke up. I was quite awake and when I saw this lady I screamed for my grandmother. She came very quickly and put me and my 4 year old brother who also saw her into her lap while she sat in a rocking chair.
I was told that neithe myself or my brother were making anything up and took us then out of that room and put us to bed in the livingroom and she slept in a chair right by us. I never stayed in that room again.
My husband and I bought a haunted house and it is documented. All of my mother's sister and her mother lived in haunted houses as well.
I would go over to a friends house for the night and would find out it was haunted as well. I have pictures of real apparitions that look so real and alive that you could touch them. I belong to a Parnormal Group and we do investigative work and research. We have over 10.000 pictures to prove that ghosts and spirits are real as well as demons.
We have plenty of recorded EVPs as well. I have seen a little girl in our house that is about 4 years old. I have had friends of mine come over and at different times and ask me who the girl is that is standing by our front do is. None of these people knew each other nor were any of them here at the same time. They have all given the same descpition of this girl. She is said to be about 12 or 13. I have not seen her myself though.
There have been so many paranormal things happen in this house.
I have grown up with this, I don't know whether to call it a curse or a gift.
If you would like to see any of the apparitions that I have, just E-Mail me and I will send you some. I have one taken 2 weeks ago and the it is a full body apparition of a female and you can even tell what she is wearing. Good Question and since starting the Paranormal Group it has been a relief to know that it is all true and one is not crazy and alone with these thoughts. You might try looking into joining a Paranormal Group yourself and you would get first hands on knowledge for yourself.

Answer 2

I lived in a haunted house in San Diego for about 2 years. Mostly just opening and closing the doors and foot steps across the room. Some times heavy breathing in your ear after you turn out the lights. Crashing and banging noises. Made a walk through on Super Bowl Sunday and scared the crap out everybody at the party. Froze a bath tube of water solid in about 2 hours, in the summer time with 80 degree + weather.
Also lived in a house that had a ghost cat running down the hall in the 80's and that cat is still there from what my ex wife says.

I am currently writing a book called 'A Phenomenal Life' that would be a nice answer to your question. Let me summarize some of the points.

Firstly, in direct answer to the question "yes". I avoid the use of the word 'paranormal' since it is so ill-defined (being in Wikipedia doesn't make it 'well-defined'. But I believe I understand what you are looking for.

Haunted places, houses, hotels, factories and even battlefields do exist. They are real. But here's the interesting part. Only about 15 percent of all reports cannot be explained by natural causes or hallucination. I know this is difficult to accept, especially if you believe you've had such an experience, but study after study by research parapsychologists (not ghost hunters) known as 'meta-analyses' have substantiated this percentile over the past 20 years or so.

In 40 years of doing this, I have experienced quite a number of phenomena in a variety of locations. I have a friend who I think has more experience than any other person alive. Recently he told me he had conducted an amazing 4000 investigations in 40 years. Many of these were dismissed in one day, but others went on for months. The most famous of these is the "Entity" case, of which a book and a movie were made.

Most recently, I have been working with a medium at the Hotel del Coronado in Coronado, California. We have discovered, through conversations with the dead (I am not joking here btw, this is very serious stuff) that the identity of a woman who was thought to have suicided at the Hotel in 1892 is wrong and that in fact she is not a suicide at all. More work needs to be done to historically validate the communications from this woman, but this is an example of phenomena of the highest order, and it has been around, patiently waiting for someone who could hear it for 115 years.

ok no joke, once I went to the hospital with my cuz and her sister, (in a nutshell) I saw my cuz turn her head left and then right, I went home that night, in the morning I awoke to friggin whispers in both of my ears left ear and right ( my husband was sleeping nx to me but i couldn't move) I just prayed and then it stoped I called my cuz that afternoon and told her, she said the reason y she wasn't so talkative as usual is bc she felt weird, and felt ppl breathing on both of her ears which explains y she shook her head left and then right the more u pay attention the more it'll taunt you, I think there's good and there's evil also another incident my son has a home depot plastic truck that he can sit on, only when u press the button it'll turn on and give the sound of an engine and so forth, so after a while this frickin toy would turn on while I'm watching tv or whatever, or as soon as I go outside nx to it ( btw I slamed it down to see if maybe there was some kind of defect, but only when u press the button that's when it'll go off) sometimes like 40 times a day, once I was on the phone with my mom and i think it went off 25 times, I showed sympathy, and thought it might be a kid I said god loves u don't be afraid sweetheart, u must be scared, it's ok u can play with it..........every time I said something the engine would go off like it was answering me...........and the more I showed I cared the more it happened, until I said GET THE HECK OUTTA HERE THIS IS MY PLACE NOT URS, U BELONG TO GOD NOT HERE LEAVE US ALONE then it eased then just disappeared I'm catholic I would have my house blessed try to do the same even if ur not a believer also no I'm not crazy I have a Medical technologist diploma and I've worked as an Accounts administrator for a while, I have a husband and son and believe in God

Answer 5

I'm not 100% sure if the following was paranormal or just imagination getting the best of me/us.

There's an abandoned sanitarium in our area and I asked my son if he too would be interested in going inside the building. Of course he did.

The building has been vacant since the early 70s, and is full of abspestis and the county doesn't want to pay to have the building torn down. The building is in bad shape, all the windows are broken out of their frames, the roof is full of holes, the floors have holes in them too.

Well, as we entered the building, we thought we heard a car on the gravel outside of the building, we thought we might have been seen going in the building and the cops were called. We walked slowly towards a window to see if in fact there was a car outside, thankfully there wasn't it. So how do we explain the noise made just as we entered the building?

As we walked through the building, Stephen King came to mind, what a perfect place to use in one of his movies. The hallways are long, rooms line the hallways. At the end of one long hallway, was an old gurney, it was once used of course to wheel sick ppl to the medical ward. I thought, if only that gurney could talk, the stories it could tell.

All of a sudden, birds flew at us and they came at us without warning, as fast as they appeared, they disappeared just as fast. It was wild, my son and I looked at each other and said, 'What the heck was that and where did they all come from?" You'd really have to be there to appreciate what happened.

We walked from floor to floor, taking pics and also recording [camcorder] most of what we saw.

We finally reached the roof where there was a chapel. As my son walked by an air vent that usually spins on windy/breezy days, it began to spin, only problem, there was no wind/breeze/etc., to make the air vent move. We looked at each other and said, "What's making that move, are we alone, or is there someone else with us?"

Our time in the building was awesome!! We might have encountered some things we couldn't explain, but that doesn't mean it's paranormal, or does it?

We had the pics developed and we checked them for anything out of the norm, we found nothing, not even orbs.

In closing, there was a group [like that of TAPS...ghost hunters], who investigated the building in 2004. According to the site, one of the members disappeared and hasn't been seen since. Also, they clain there's a little girl in a white dress who walks around in the basement. [That sounds all too familiar] And there's a small video clip showing the girl. You can buy their movie from the site I'm writing about, however, as a person who knows a lot about the building, I would tell you to save your money. What's in the movie about the building is not accurate and is very misleading. I'm writing this from first hand knowledge, until there is more evidence proving the building is haunted or possess spirits of those who died, I would say, neither exist. But then.......

Answer 6

When I was young I lived in a house that had a spirit who refused to leave. He used to do silly things like open the bread box and throw the bread across the room. He also loved to hammer away in the night, and would stop as soon as we touched the door to the room he was working in. We found out that the man who started building the house we lived in fell off the roof and died before the house was finished.... he did us no harm, and we let him work away, and make his lunch sandwiches with our bread!

Answer 7

This may just be paranoia but ill tell you and let you decide. When I was younger, my mother and I moved into this house and we noticed that in the bathroom, the walls were tile but they were painted over. We thought that was really wierd but we didnt say anything. So she bought the house and we moved in, a couple of months later she decided to strip the paint off of the tile. Well after doing that in the bath tub part there was a hole in the wall. Like if you were to sit down in the tub. So we found out that this old man who lived there before us had cancer and shot himself in the head while his mother and wife were shopping on mothers day. Sooooo not like a day later or anything I would say maybe 6 months to a year later I started to notice that when I would walk into my moms room I would always smell cigar smoke (no one im my house smoked) and we could never figure out what that was. Then one night I had a birthday party with a bunch of girls over and I got a stereo as a present (brand new) well I had it plugged in and turned on and the volume just started to go up really really loud by itself. So I tried to turn it off and it wouldnt go off, i unplugged it and it stayed on for about 5 more seconds then went off. Other than that the only other thing would be the incredibly eerie feeling I had when taking showers, I could never close my eyes, i had to wash one eye at a time cause i would get so scared. I also hear music at night, not from the tv or the neighbors just music, mostly old sounding music its really annoying but ive gotten used to it, my mom has the exact same thing happen to her and we didnt even realize it until a couple of months ago

Answer 8

The limit to my experience in feeling very strongly that I was no longer alone when I was....this feeling was so strong that I started to talk to an empty room fully expecting someone to answer....I ended up just asking it to not throw any bottles at my head...but other that that nothing. I have never seen anything. But this does not mean I don't believe.

Answer 9

I live right down the street from a haunted house-they give tours and stuff but I haven't been inside it yet.

"Ghost Hunters" actually investigated it a few years ago, but that was before I moved here ("Ghost Hunters" is a paranormal reality show on the scifi channel).

Answer 10

Yes, the home I leased before getting the one I am in now was haunted by the original property owners. I sure do miss them and the house.....sigh
