Looking at this picture, I felt the goosebumps. The structure of the house looks so spooky. Many people near this house claimed, that the house is haunted. There are lot of ghost stories were been revealed by other people, who live nearby. It is the best place for ghost hunters to explore.

According to my husband, he has seen a "white lady" here in our house. We live in a big compound in a 5-door apartment owned by my in laws. 3 of mu husband'd siblings leave in the 3 other apartments. All of them said they have seen it. My sister in law wouldn't even go to the last door apartment alone. I never had any experience here. I sometimes go to the last door then when the faucet connected to the hose I was using to do the laundry was at the back of the last door apartment. And I even go out of our house alone at 12mn. Nada.....
An incident, though, at my in law's house about 15 years ago. I was looking for my sister in law and so I went up to her room. Seeing that she was not there, so I decided to go back to the pharmacy of my brother in law where I was working then. On my way down the stairs, I saw a foot walk towards me. But my head was bowed down and so i assumed it was my brother in law who just came from school and was headed to the bathroom. He always would be barefooted around the house. When I was already at the pharmacy I asked the helper if my sister in law was still in the office. And so, she said, yes. Then I asked her why was my brother in law home so early that day coz he usually comes home between 5pm-6pm. Then she said that he has not arrived yet. then I realized that he must be still in school coz I did not see his car parked inside the garage when I passed by. So I asked her, who was upstairs. She said, there was no one! gosh! I felt chills! Who the heck did I see?

I hope you only had that experience once. Maybe you felt like you saw a feet. If there was any spirit or something, i think it should have reappeared to someone or something. Maybe you saw a movie or something and just felt like that. Anyway its over and you can feel relieved. i would suggest dont think over it and make matters worse.

Well, I was sure about what I saw and even if I have watched a scary movie, I really don't get scared to the point that it will remain in my head for hours or days.
Even before mu husband and I got married, I have heard stories about those spirits who were at their house since their house was built in the 80's. A lot witnessed different activities in the house. A helper of their family fled the house when the ghostly appearance was floating above her when she was about to go up the 2nd floor of the house. She went home to their town the next day.

i wouldn't say our house is haunted but there are definitely spirits roaming around the house. From hearing the TV being switched on, to shadows that walk around the house, that's spooky.
But as long as they don't bother us or harm us, everything is just normal.

I just can only admire at your courage. I hope you are not joking because I find it so scary. I mean I wont be bale to leave in a house which I feel is haunted by ghosts. It is too scary to even think about.

I don't think ours is haunted. That picture does look like it could be. It sure looks quite creepy.

I lived in a house that I told was haunted and those that lived there has told of it also after we moved. My father use to own this house when we lived there and he sold it a few years later. I to felt cold chills where your arm hairs raise. I have flet cool breeze go by you hear footprints upstairs, door that where locked came open by themself, felt where something would sit on a bed and the pressure of imprint where mattress whould go down as one was sitting there..? seen images in shades like shadows...? the cat we had would hisss at corners of walls where you never seen things yourself. the attic door would come open even after it was locked shut. a pressure cooker exploded once on my mom and she was taken to hospital . (this was along time ago) a dog we had turned and tried to bite the family , (we had to get rid of him) he was ok before we moved there and he was okay after we gave him to someone in the country. but around that house alot of strange things happens ..it stands today also. in Kentucky , U.S.A. IT WAS 2 BEDROOMS UPSTAIRS AND AN ATTIC AND a tiny room.
downstairs was 5 rooms counting the kitchen. a dirt basement also. and front and back porch.

OMG.. it is pretty creepy ..
It reminds me about the film called paranormal activity. Well, I don't know if there are real haunted house in outside Asia actually . You know the native Asian has a quite strong belief in some kinds of ghosts where I found that many American are being skeptical regarding the ghosts..
But what happened at your house is exactly the same on what happened in my previous house (my family has moved over 1 year ago)...

I believe in whatever you are telling here.
For Chinese, we shall do a small ceremony when we just move in a new home.
For instance, we shall spread the rice and the tea leaves all around the home to chase all of those unwelcome guests or spirits away.
Besides, we shall place our god inside our home after we move in.
By doing so, our God will stop those unwelcome guests or spirits to enter our home, and we believe the God can help us to be safe and prosperous too.

I have suspected something is going on at times, but not on a regular basis. For example I have felt them touching me in fact,but actually smacking me in the foot one night too as I lay sleeping to wake me up (this was the most scariest one in my life believe me). Luckily this was only a one time thing. They have placed things in wierd spots and made them disappear altogether although not before my eyes that is. There have been unexplained noises & sounds. My mom has heard some of the sounds herself too at the same time as me so I know I'm not going totally crazy. This is over a good amount of years but some closer to one another than other times. The house is very old here, well over 1200 I'd say, so the older the house the more spirits is possible probably. I wish I just know whose spirits they were of.

I am so glad that we are not feeling anything like this at home. :D it is really a good place and i feel comfortable with the place we are staying... there was no things or sightings, nor any experiences that would lead us to think there could be something else in there.

I am happy to see a contented person here. I feel when you think there exist something, then you seem to have sightings. Otherwise when you dont even are bothered about it, then there are no issues. I guess you are having a wonderful stay at your house.

Wow I get so excited whenever I see and get inside haunted houses. Yet living inside it is not exciting for me. I am interested in ghost hunting and all that but never had the courage to live inside haunted places.

You remind me of one of the friends that I have. She is like in love with ghost and snakes. She wants to stay in a haunted house and would want to interact with ghosts. Unfortunately for her, she is yet to find such a place. One has to see the enthusiasm on her face when she talks about ghosts.

The house where we live is not haunted at all. It is a school building. In our building, there are five stories with eight apartments on each floor. Although it is built on a deserted land near the river with some dotted tombs before, there is no ghost appearing in the dark in the evening. So we are not afraid at all. Take care.

I think its all about your mind. If you are eager to see a ghost, you would see one. infact you would think I you saw somebody moving and all. i dont sincerely believe in this concepts and saw havent seen anything like that. So i really dont know if i would panic even if I meet one

If my house is hunted I haven't noticed, I'm not a listener of life energy nor do I fear it, I think a person has to be open to it in order for the life energy traces to manifest in ones life and be heard
I just live life and I don't bother with too much thought on haunting's and ghost as it's nothing to fear or be concerned about.

That is indeed a daring point. The problem is we have so many movies that talks of ghosts and things and at a point you start believing in them . Once you can distinguish between life and a movie, i guess we would have a much better and happy stay.

I'm scared of nothing except ghosts. I just don't like the idea that they can show themselves to me, cause me a heart attack and i could not even fight back. It makes me scared and weak to face them. So i'd rather not see a single ghost at all.

You meant you had a heart attack or you would have one. You are hoping to not meet any ghosts. But when you meet one, just keep running away from it. I mean I really not convinced about a solution if you encounter a real ghost.

Well, although I have heard a lot about haunted houses and paranormal presences, I've never been a direct eyewitness of such an event.
Yet I tell you that, in a sense, I believe in these phenomena.
Also in internet there are particular sites such as "ghost hunter", just people who go in search and document any paranormal phenomena.
That said, there are however also very skeptical people who deny the possibility of these strange phenomena.
However, to answer the question that you put in the title of your discussion, I at least do not think that my house is haunted!

Even I share the same feeling as yours. Since I havent met a spirit, I am really not sure about the idea if they exist. I think movies and stuff really scares the hell out of you. first you would banish these ideas. then there is a slight thought in you which says what if they really exist

Just the other night I heard my eldest son asked his brothers if any of them had been in his room. He said he passed by his room and the door was ajar and looked to him like someone inside the room was swinging the door. The lights inside the room was off and none of his brothers said they were in there. There were no windows or other doors open that could cause the wind to move the door or anything like that...
What he said spooked his brothers a bit, but my eldest son did not seem to be bothered by what he saw. He went in his room to sleep well after midnight anyway as usual... There are spirits all around us even though we may never see them...

I have heard about such things in movies and novels. I have never come across any such souls or spirits. So I really don't know if they exist or not. I mean if there are so many spirits then where we would have space to co-exist. I am not so courageous about ghosts, but I havent met anyone who has seen them.

There is no such house as a haunted house,but a house that was not loved properly.Half the stories you hear are somebody's vivid imagination,and if you check for hard facts,there will be no proofs.The ghost hunters imagination will be satisfied and nothing more will be proved.According to me,either dismantle the house,or renovate it and then love the house,sincerely as God's gift.

Ghosts and after life are such wonderful themes that people cook up stories like anything. Most of the stories you hear are where ghosts are like super powers or something. I think people exploit every corners of their brain to come up with such wonderful imagination. God save them.

Hi Shavkat, from the look as well as the surrounding of the house, it seems like haunted. It would be more likely if it's a deserted building. I believe no one dares to approach the house in night time for sure. Yeah only ghost hunters would have great interest and curiosity to explore such a mysterious place
Have a nice day and happy posting

I never encounter any spiritual/ghost activities in my home (Thanks God) and I hope would never see them in my life hahaha yes Im a coward. I dont even want to see video of haunted house or scary video. The house in your picture looks so scary, i would not want to stay there even if Im paid million dollar. I cannot imagine to live there alone and only being accompanied by ghost or other spirit.
But I have friend who likes talking about ghost activities, she said she could see them at her grandparents' house..so whenever she started talking about spirit thing I would just closed my ears and ranaway.

I think there are really spirits everywhere. We are not just aware of them. Even churches have spirits living in it. But I guess all the spirits here are bad spirits. Sometimes they are just acting that they are good. But, nothing to be afraid of coz God is also everywhere.
