Hauntings…Signs You Have A Resident Ghost!

Hauntings…what a terrific topic! They make your skin crawl, your hair stand up on end, your hands

start to shake. We see  them in photographs, in windows, on television. We’ve heard myths about ghosts, tales about poltergeists, and stories about spirits. But there are certain ways you absolutely know there is someone, or something, sharing your house with you.

You know you have a spirit in your house if…you find objects in very strange places. After my father had passed away, I noticed there was a mug way up on the top of the kitchen cupboards. I had to get a chair out to stand on the counter top. Then I had to reach up in order to get hold of the mug. The mug was virtually dust free, while the rest of the cupboard top was covered with dust. Now let’s think about this…a mug…high up…dust free. Only my dad would do that sort of thing.

You know you have a spirit in your house if…you hear unknown sounds. We had to have our family dog put down by a vet. It was very painful for all of us. She was 17 years old and I was 1 when we got her. For years after her death, we could hear her nails clickey clacking on the linoleum flooring…clickety clack, clickety clack…

You know you have a spirit in your house if…taps turn on and off. When we lived in a rental home, we has weird occurrences. One night the kitchen faucet turned on full blast all by itself. Another night the pots and pans rattled in the cupboards. The former owner of the house had passed away and we always felt like she was with us.

You know you have a spirit in your house if…pieces of jewelry went missing. My mother always said that opals were unlucky. Well they must have been because she lost (lost???) every opal earring she ever owned. As well, she lost the opal bracelet that I brought back, for her, from a cruise. I guess we had a spirit who had a fondness for opals.

So there are always ways that you can check for ghosts, I prefer to call them spirits. If you have weird sights, sounds, smells or happenings, then you probably have a spirit living with you. But cheer up, they are probably a loved one looking out for you. Well that’s what I like to think anyway…
