Live in a Haunted House
You just moved in, and now you have really bad feelings about the place. Chances are the place could be haunted. You may be frightened, but don't be. Reading this article can help you cope with the ghost's presence.
Steps
- Take a well-built guard dog like German shepherd with you into the house. The reason? Dogs easily detect the presence of the spirits. It will be daring to you also with the dog.
- Remind yourself that before you move anything into the house, walk through the entire place. Doing this will give the ghost(s) a chance to scope you out, and accept your presence in 'their' home.
- Remember: before moving all of your stuff into the place, move in as few items as possible at first. This will avoid riling the ghost(s) to the changes going on during the transition from former occupants.
- Keep in mind while moving furniture or other objects in, be alert for any feelings you may have about where an item should be placed. If you can make a ghost happy by placing a chair in a particular place, it could save you lots of trouble later on.
- Try to relate to the ghost by talking about what life may have been like in the house (if it is an old house), and try to do something former residents would have done in the house while they lived there, like eating some meals in a formal dining room, or listening to period music from the time the house was built.
- Try to talk about big events that would have happened while past owners would have been living there. For example, on October 29 of a year, try to talk about how past residents would have felt about the stock market crash and the beginning of the Great Depression (if the house is old enough).
- Avoid the area the ghost is in, if (s)he is in one particular place. Try using the room as a storage area and leave the ghost alone.
- Try to spend a night in the place. Some ghosts try to communicate with the living through dreams. Allowing the ghost to get its message to the living may put an end to the haunting and send the ghost on its way.
- Accept the ghost. While this may be difficult for some to do, most ghosts will leave you alone if you acknowledge their presence.
- Talk to the ghost. Let it know it is welcome to stay if it leaves you and your family alone.
- Remember if the ghost does something scary, let it know you are upset, and that if such behavior continues it will not be tolerated. Some ghosts can be persistently aggressive and this behavior may prevent you from sleeping or enjoying your home life the way you deserve to. If this happens, never respond in anger. This will only add fuel to the fire. Focus on feeling love for these entities that probably haven't felt love in a very long time (if ever). Directing positive energy toward them can be surprisingly effective in stopping unwanted behavior.
Tips
- Before doing big remodeling projects in a house, talk about it in advance so the resident ghosts know what is going to happen. Suddenly tearing down walls and changing a floor plan may make a happy ghost into an angry ghost.
- If you can, see about including some period furnishings or art in the house.
- If you are raising children in an old house, think about how former parents in the house may have dealt with similar situations.
- Try to cook/prepare period meals that were popular in the past.
Warnings
- Never open yourself up completely to any ghost, since you never know their true intentions. If the situation is too much for you to handle, seek professional help.
- Beware of the attics in old houses. They may not have windows for ventilation so do not let the door close. It is best to let someone know where you went. Have a mobile or walkie talkie handy.
- Do not panic.
