Haunting is a lot of fun in the movies, but when a spirit moves into your home or apartment, it can be terrifying. It can even be life threatening, if it isn’t dealt with properly.
While the thought of living in a haunted house is spooky, it’s important to remember that most ghosts aren’t out to get you or want revenge. They’re just trying to move on and find a place they can be at peace.
Most hauntings aren’t caused by supernatural spirits, but rather, by a combination of things. If you live in an old house, the sounds of footsteps or knocking could be the result of a nearby tree scraping against the house or some other environmental factor. In fact, 68% of people who thought they had a paranormal experience found out it was something else. Pets, kids, neighbors, friends, delivery people or maintenance workers are all common causes of mistaken hauntings.
In other cases, ghost activity is actually a result of negative energy being blasted into the atmosphere of a location. The energy imprints the environment, like a recording tape, and can be replayed later as smells, sound effects, or even the famed apparitions that are seen in haunted locations.
The best way to avoid ghosts is to clear and cleanse your environment on a regular basis. Clean up the clutter that tends to pile up in your home, and replace it with items that emit positive energy, like fresh flowers or chunks of rose quartz. Also, listen to upbeat music that will fill your space with positivity and keep the bad vibes away.
