SIGNS OF A HAUNTING



IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW HAS EXPERINCED ANY OF THESE SIGNS PLEASE CONTACT US!



Unexplained noises- footsteps, knocks, banging, rapping, scratching sounds, sounds of something being dropped.

Doors, cabinets and cupboards opening and closing- these phenomena are not seen directly. The experiencer either hears the distinct sounds of the doors opening and closing (homeowners get to know quite well the distinctive sounds their houses make.)

Lights turning off and on - these events are seldom seen, but the lights are switched on or off when the experiencer knows they were not left that way. This can also happen with TVs, radios and other electrically powered items.

Items disappearing and reappearing - this phenomenon, 
"the DOP Effect" (DOP = Disappearing Object Phenomenon),  this  phenomenon,  is a familiar experience of not being able to find a regularly used item - say, your set of car keys.

Unexplained shadows- the sighting of shapes and shadows, usually seen out of the corner of the eye. 

Strange animal behavior - a dog, cat or other pet behaves strangely. Dogs may bark at something unseen, cower without apparent reason or refuse to enter a room they normally do. Cats may seem to be "watching" something cross a room. 

Feelings of being watched - this  could have a paranormal source if the feeling consistently occurs in a particular part of the house at a particular time.

Mild psychokinetic phenomena - hearing a door open or close is one thing. Actually seeing it happen is quite another. Similarly, actually seeing a light go on or off.  Do you see the TV or radio turn on? Microwave oven turning on by itself?

Feelings of being touched - the feeling of being watched is one thing, and actually feeling like you are being touched is quite another.

Cries and Whispers - on occasion, muffled voices, whispering and crying can be heard. Sometimes it's music from some unknown source.

Cold or Hot spots -  but any instance of a noticeable variance in temperature without a discernable cause could be evidence. It is believed that a spirit will interupt the temperture while trying to manifest. 

Unexplained Smells - the distinct fragrance of a perfume or cologne that you do not have in your house.  Foul odors can happen in the same way, a musky smell, a rotting smell or fishy smell.

Moving or levitating objects (severe psychokinetic phenomena) - dinner plates sliding across the table; pictures flying off walls; doors slamming shut with great force; furniture sliding across the floor.

Physical assault - scratches, slaps and hard shoves. This kind of personal assault is extremely rare, but obviously highly disturbing.

Other physical evidence- unexplained writing on paper or walls; finger prints, handprints and footprints.

Apparitions- physical manifestation of a spirit or entity, shadow people also fall under


"apparitions".
