Question of the Week: 98 - 2/10/2003 Would You Live In A Haunted House? You have found the perfect house. But it’s haunted. Doors open and close. Lights flip on and off. Footsteps are heard in the hallway, furniture is rearranged and ghostly figures are spotted wandering the grounds. Would you move in? Would you be comfortable living with ghosts and/or paranormal activities? Or would you send the spirits an eviction notice? What are your thoughts on paranormal manifestations? |

This is such an easy answer NO Why be fraid if your house is haunted most houses have a spirit present but if you disturb the spirit that is when you spirit gets annoying. If you learn to make peace, and live side to side you will have no problem its when you call the "ghostbusters" or when you enrage the spirit you get problems. Simply my answer is no. |

If you can comunicate with them, and feel comfortable with them, then yes move in. But if you feel uneasy with unknow spirits they will know, and make your life hell. |

I would have no problem with a haunted house if it's anything like my car. My car's certainly inhabited by something, though I doubt it's the shade of a dead human--it seems to have developed its own indwelling spirit. Doors lock themselves and are reluctant to unlock. The lights on the dashboard flsah on and off randomly. Music playing over the speakers has a few words oor an entire line of words "removed, " so I can hear the instrumental but not the words. I've been asked several times why I don't exorcise my car, and frankly, I don't want to. Whatever's in it likes me, and I consider it good company. It's mischevious, but not malicious. Not to mention how many people are surprised that a car of that age requires so very few repairs... If I met a malicious spirit, though, I would attempt to help it cross over, and if I couldn't, I would ask myself if I really wanted to live there badly enough to share the place with a cranky ghost. |

Define haunted? I live in a haunted house now. We have at least 4 spirits of ones who have passed away. 3 of them are loved ones of one of my room mates. The 4th one was here when she moved in 24 years ago. The 3 loved ones I feel are here to help and protect my room mate, especially with the situation happening within her family. The 4th one was here when she moved in 24 yars ago. None of them are michevious or malignant. In fact, it would feel strange if they were not here. As for strange things happening, we have phantom car drive up to the house on gravel we don't have. We also get the occasional cupboard door opening and disembodied voices. On occasion we have unexplained smell...such as early one morning of burning pancakes. My room mate thought I had gotten home from work and was cooking her breakfast. When she came out to check on the cakes, she realized I wasn't home yet and nothing on the stove. She told me this after I did arrive and I looked at her and said "Walt (her late husband) was cooking you breakfast. She takes comfort in that he is still here watching out for her. There has been more than one occasion of him making his presence known to us. It is quite often I am messenger for him to her, something she has respect and comfort in as well. Frequently he will show up in my dreams to tell her something and I am more than happy for him to do this. When he decides to go on, I will miss him, and so will she. |

i would love to stay in a haunted house. it would be difficult to live in one, though. once, while on a vacation in indiana, my family and i were staying in a hotel rumoured to be haunted. it was very haunted! i love the paranormal, but living in a haunted house, especially with malicious spirits can be nerve-wracking. if the spirits became a nuisance or a danger, i would have to exorcise them. |

Absolutly yes! I have always lived in haunted places. My mother always seemed to find them as I do now that I am grown. What would life be without some ghosties around! Blessed Be |

it's a moot question, because I already do. it's nothing malicious but lights do go on and off stuff gets moved you can hear footsteps and doors open and close. I've rented here with my husband for 4 years when we moved in the landlord didn't (and still doesn't) know it's haunted. My husband can see the people I cannot, and we've reached a mutual agreement with them when they throw a fit about something in the house we try to fix it and they keep unwanted visitors out (including theives, but that's a long story by itself) if I move I'm gonna miss them. |

Yes I would. As a matter of fact, I have lived in two. One, when I was a kid, in Illinois and another as a young soldier while stationed in England. Both were interesting in their own way. |

I would not mind it because it would actually bring me more joy. I live in a house that is haunted already, and everywhere i go there are spirits around. I know they are there and they will always be there, people are only scared of them because they do not understand them. I'm not saying i know all about them but i know enough that i can coexist with them as long as they try to communicate a little bit, i don't like company that does at least say whats up or try to chill around the house with me. well maybe ill talk to you guys later mike |
