Strange noises in the middle of the night. Cold
chills in heavy air. That feeling of someone
watching you in an otherwise empty room.
Whether you believe in ghosts or not, the
haunted house is a staple of horror, folklore,
and maybe even reality. Here are just ten signs
that your house may be haunted, in no
particular order.


10. Electronic Disturbances


A light switches on. Or off. Maybe your
television changes channels by itself, or a
strange interference occurs on your radio or
telephone. It’s hard to say whether or not such
things might be caused by unintended house
guests, but if you ever find a toaster dancing on
your counter top, you know who to call.



9. Disappearing Objects


Ever lose something — car keys, the remote,
your cell phone — only for it turn up again in
the strangest of places? Or worse, right back
where you know you left it? This may be the
result of something called Disappearing Object
Phenomenon. Where do the objects go? I don’t
know. A parallel universe, a slip through time. It
could just be a case of you missing it the first
time you looked…or it could be a mischievous
spirit playing tricks.


8. Strange Noises


Hauntings can manifest as faint whispers or
grumblings, or a mysterious rapping on the
wall. The sound of footsteps in a hallway. There
have even been reports of guttural, animalistic
sounds, in the case of demons and possessions.
If you ever hear something like that, or what
sounds like a little doll running around upstairs,
maybe think about getting a new place.



7. Rogue Shadows


Shadow people come in many shapes and sizes,
or so I’ve heard. Dark spectres, outlines, black
masses, menacing silhouettes in the shapes of
humans. Some are clearer, perhaps, like the Hat
Man. Whether they’re demons or simple ghosts
or, well, eye floaters, lurking shadows in the
corner of your eye may be a sign that your
house is haunted.


6. Abnormal Animal Behavior

They say animals, and even small children, are
particularly sensitive to the goings-on in the
paranormal world.
I even saw a show once where rabbits — yes,
rabbits — were experiencing a Paranormal
Activity scenario (which, I admit, I thought was
a little weird). But it’s true: dogs and cats react
to things we can’t see, even if it’s just infrasound
from rattling pipes. If your pets are acting
strangely — like a dog barking around certain
areas of the house, or a cat following an
invisible force with its eyes — you may have
something going on.


5. Strange Dreams and Nightly Terrors

Sleep paralysis, or hypnagogia, can explain
away a lot of various and terrifying sensations
— awakening to a feeling of terror or a
presence in your room, hearing footsteps, and
even feeling the weight of a wicked witch
pressing down upon your chest. But strange
dreams involving people you don’t know and
recurring night terrors are said to be a sign that
something else may be afoot. Are spirits trying
to contact you from the other side?

4. Unexplainable Feelings


Dreams are one thing, but have you ever felt
like you’re being watched? That there’s someone
in the room with you even though you know
you’re alone? You may also feel chills in the air
or, even more unsettling, the feeling of being
touched by an invisible hand. If these
sensations occur regularly in specific areas of
your home, you may be living in a haunted
house.


3. A History of Darkness


Every house has a story, some darker than
others. If your house is an older one, it may
worth learning its history, if for no other reason
than to satiate your curiosity. But you may find
that your home played a role in a darker past —
murder, suicide, strong emotional turmoil. All
of these are said to increase the chances that
your house may be haunted, or that residual
spiritual energy may remain. Having a house
built on top of an ancient Indian burial ground
is particularly bad news.

2. Psychokinetic Activity


Psychokinetic activity is a fancy word for things
moving around without any visible reason.
Cupboards flying open, doors swinging wide, or
glasses flying off tables might be a sign that a
ghost or poltergeist is making its presence
known. And if your entire kitchen erupts in a
flurry of open cupboards and silverware a la
Paranormal Activity 2…I don’t know. You’re on
your own on that one.


1. Ghostly Apparitions


And last but not least, there’s always one sure-
fire way to know your house is haunted. Well,
usually. They may be rare, but full-body
apparitions and ghostly wisps of light are
definite signs that something extraordinary is
happening. Take a picture, if you get the chance.
Well, these are the things I’ve heard, anyway.
I’ve never been haunted, myself, or experienced
too much in the way of paranormal activity.
Maybe I’m lucky. Or unlucky.

Too much paranormal activities o

Most countries Nigerians run to for greener pastures don't have half of our resources.... Yet they're far more developed.
Talk true.. Ain't we haunted?

Sometimes when i slept off leaving my mp or radio on, it would turn off before i woke. At times when i leave the battery cover open, one of its batteries would be removed just to make sure the radio was turned off.. I am beginning to get scared

There is a Yoruba adage which States "ole lo mo ese ole to" meaning, only a thief knows the paths of thieves.
Ghost Moz......

All these ones are western(oyibo) ghost haunting signs. Western ghosts are mild mannered and do not kill.

If a ghost haunts you the the African, or even Naija way, you won't find the hands or heart to type your experience.

With points you made, it doesn't appear like you can see ghosts but feel their presence. I have never seen a ghost but I have felt their presence ( maybe not violently). Then I have heard of these no-chills ghost stories.

My question to you is HAVE YOU SEEN ONE YOURSELF ?[/size][size=8pt]

I'm no psychologist or Neuro doctor but I have come believe that our minds display whats in our sub-conscious whenever the opportunity present itself e.g dreams and mirages. So if you could think back to what had happened hours before you had that "flash" then you would know if it was real on just your sub-conscious playig. You might have been watching ghost movie or had been thinking about ghostly stuff.

I have seen ghosts.. I still do. It started in my childhood @ age 11. I rather use a better name for dem 'Fallen Angels or Demons'..
The first one dat appeared to me was disguised as an Angel, but I somehow knew he was a bad angel (fallen angel). My younger broda who was with me at d tym cudn't even see it.

I neva knew why I was seeing all these spirits until one day...

Wrong thead for me. #sprinkles Holy water.
