Having a haunting in your home can be a scary thing. It can make you want to run away and hide, and it could affect your mental health if you live in a particularly haunted house.
There are different types of hauntings and they can be intelligent, residual or intentional.
An intelligent haunting occurs when a spirit interacts with you in a way that is intelligent and has a clear purpose. It usually has an intelligent trigger that causes it to occur, such as a certain time of year or a particular event that happened at the location.
Residual Hauntings
A residual haunting occurs when a spirit replays a traumatic event over and over again. This is often the case with people who have had a traumatic experience at their homes or other places where they have lived.
Ghost Sightings
Seeing shadows, hearing voices and knocking on walls or ceilings can be a sign of a haunting. Some people report being awakened by something shaking their bed at night or actually seeing a full-bodied apparition of someone in the room.
Other signs include unexplained noises, lights that seem to turn on and off by themselves, objects moving around or disappearing, and strange smells.
The best way to tell if you have a haunting is to seek a professional paranormal investigator who can give you a legitimate opinion. They should also be able to explain any natural explanations that might prove the problem is not paranormal.
