I live alone with my dog.
Things started happening within a few weeks of moving in.
Lights turning on and off, doors closing on their own, etc.
One night, I was sitting at the kitchen island eating dinner, and a hand grabbed my torso.
I also randomly smell cigarette smoke or a strong perfume from time to time.
“My sister used to live in a 1,000-year-old house in England.
One day, I was visiting, and she said, ‘It’s here.’
“It slowly glided down the stairs past us.
I grabbed some pens and paper and asked everyone to stop speaking and write down what they had witnessed.
We all saw the same thing.
I never doubted my sis again.
Still have no idea what it was though, and I have never experienced anything like that again.”

“I believe you.
But no one else believes me when I tell this.
My house, 1953, has two ghosts.
My stepdaughter and her stepmom claim to be able to sense them.
They both said its an old lady and an old man, dont worry, theyre friendly.
They said the the old lady used to be a gardener and she likes the plants you have.
I remember the old lady who used to live here.
She always had flowers out front here and a bunch of plants inside the dining room.'
As she looks in our window and says, ‘Just like you guys do!'”
“They mess with us, mostly me, often.
I set my cooler down to wash it and turned around to turn on the hose.
When I looked back, I saw that my dog’s toy was in the cooler.
Theyve turned the lights on and off.
The craziest one was when I threw away some moldy cheese in the morning and went to work.
When i got home the cheese was back in the fridge.
Also, supposedly, sincedogscan see them.

“My family has something that bothers us at night.
This has happened to 5+ people in multiple houses and hotels across multiple states.
“I lived next to a Civil War battlefield.
I havent had anything weird happen since I relocated.”

Dogs would react to nothing, unexplained sounds, etc.
Left that little detail when asking her to house-sit, huh?”

“My gramma was a force of nature, and I loved her.
They rooted through dressers and trunks.
It was all fun and games until it wasn’t.”
“I grew up in a haunted house.
It’s funny reading through these threads and seeing the mental gymnastics people will do to explain things.
I was fortunate…or maybe unfortunate in seeing irrefutable proof of my activity.
The previous owners of the home had a 2-year-old child die in the house.
Well, I would have to clean little handprints off of my mirror weekly.”
“I was the youngest and my hands were much larger than the prints.
It wasn’t a one-off phenomenon either.
My advice to you is to just ignore it.

“My grandparents’ house is haunted.
I have never had anything nefarious happen.
Im 35 now, and I’ve been experiencing it all my life.
Shes kind of a comfort to me at this point.
Im supposed to inherit that house; itll be interesting to live with her again, lol.”

My dog would bark at things during the night.
Then, in 2019, I was having some landscaping work done.
And he pointed to the oval attic window.”
“Stuff happens all the time where I live now and in my childhood home.
I live alone and choose not to entertain it.
I’ve jumped out of bed because someone was walking up my stairs.
Potted plants have been thrown while Im away.
Vacuum cleaners have been put behind the front door while Im away.
Dog barking at corners.
I dont like to speak about it because of the energy it brings, but I can relate.”
“My mother also passed recently, so I assume its her and say hello.
It does not happen at random times.
It happens at times when I would expect my mother to be disappointed.
My house has become dirty.
I need to vacuum.
Thats when something happens.
Ill clean my house, and it stops.
Ive never spoken of it to anyone.”

“The last home I owned for ten years was very haunted.
My daughter and I felt it was an old man.
I saged, had the home blessed, and told him to leave.
He stayed and we just accepted him as part of the family.

Only happened for two weeks, then stopped.
My girlfriend experienced it as well, so I know it was real.
We had objects moved at night to different places.
I woke up to a noise to see an arm floating through the door.
“My old house was haunted.
Taps being turned on while fully off and tight.
Bottles being moved across the counter top in front of us.
Things violently thrown while we could see them.”

“My house has something here.
Both my spouse and I have heard or seen things.
Even our cats act like they hear things.
But the presence doesn’t feel threatening.

“I’ve lived in a haunted house my whole childhood and suspect mine is haunted now.
Growing up, my bed would shake.
I’d hear a pipe organ at night (there were none around us at all.
Neighbors were miles apart).
I heard audible voices, an angry man usually, now and then.
The feeling of being watched in certain rooms.
Doors would slam, and things would fall off shelves.
We largely ignored it.
My parents denied it happened.
I ignored it or talked to whatever it was.
The only thing that felt threatening was the bed shaking.”
“I moved into my house twenty years ago, and it came with a poltergeist.
Annoying as hell but never harmful.”

“I grew up in an old house and never had any experiences there.
Things would creak the way an old house does.
Was used to it.
Years later, as an adult, I moved into an old house.
Things started falling over seemingly on their own.
I thought I was being careless with how I was setting things down.
I started taking special care in how I set things down.
When they kept falling, often in the middle of the night, I knew something was going on.
Electronics would go off in the middle of the night.
I’d hear a voice calling my name or saying hi.
I was touched a couple of times.”
“I’d have weird dreams when I otherwise rarely remember dreaming.
I felt so stupid doing it, but as soon as I did, everything stopped.
It restarted briefly after a weekend renovation project but stopped without me doing anything.
I can’t explain it.”

19.And finally, “We talk to our ghost.
He usually only makes his presence known when someone has complained about something in the house.
I was saying how stupid it was to make the valance so much wider than the window.
That night I woke up to see an old man standing just the corner of my bedroom.
No one was there!
Now, we are sure to talk positively about the house and appreciate his hard work.”
