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? |

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 |

When I was just into my twenties, my mother and I lived in of all places a haunted mobile home in a trailer park in the desert outside of El Paso, Tx.We lived there maybe about a year, but strange things went on from the time we moved in.Most commonly, We would see shadowy figures of both humans and animals.The most unusual experience was when I was standing in the kitchen fixing myself something to drink.The next thing I knew it felt like someome came up behind me and gave me a light, gentle, warm hug.At first, I thought it was my mother because she would do that.But, when I looked around there was nobody behind me.My mother was sitting at the far side of the livingroom, knitting and watching TV.It was just the two of us in the house.I have no idea who it was or why the ghost hugged me.But, I think it shows that not all ghosts are negitive. |

My house borders a large cemetary. It gives off a lot of Yin energy but other than poses no problems to me. I am not comfortable with the idea of ghosts or spirits in my house. Have felt several in the past, though not here, and my reflexive response is "Get out of here!" I do it before I am aware of it. An acquaintance who had passed on wanted to hang out around my kitchen once, making sugggestions for my herbs, and I sent him on his way. I don't know why I am like this. My house has been heavily cleansed and warded--there is nothing here but me, husband, and many cats and it is staying that way. They have their space and I paid for mine. I feel like they need to move on. And I know it sounds terrible, I talked to my Dad briefly after he passed and ascertained he was allright (he was cheerful and happy) but told him he had to move on. I haven't heard from him since. I probably got a bad name on the other side. |

I've lived many years with ghosts I'm quiet used to it.I've grown up around ghosts.I've lived in haunted houses before.Though I can say this, there were many places I have been that I couldnt even walk into a place, because of the bad vibes.Usually if something very bad happened in a house I cant seem to breathe or be able to enter the house. |

Several years ago I was disposing of several rent houses that I had acquired. I was not making enough of a return (this is when the stock market was shooting like a rocket) . I hired an agent and did some advertising myself. I had the properties fairly priced and they were in good condition. New paint, new plumbing fixtures in one especially. They sold in a few months except the one with new things in the bathroom. My last tenant would tell me of odd things like midnight pinches and mysterious bruises. That house would not sell, plenty of lookers but no contracts. I sat down with my agent (pagan, of course) to brainstorm. Decent neighborhood, not too busy street. Why is this last house not selling? I didn't change my newspaper ads, (don't need crank callers) but the realtor changed the MLS listing to mention a possible ghost in the premises. We were covered legally through Texas' strict full disclosure laws. That house was sold and closed in less than 3 weeks! I asked the buyers at closing (before the paperwork was actually signed and money changed hands) about the "supposed" ghost. He replied "my wife has always lived with spirits! That's why we bought the house." |

I WOULD DO ALMOST ANY THING TO GET OUT OF MY MOM AND DAD'S HOUSE, JUST SO I WOULD MOVE IN TO A HAUNTED HOUSE AND LIVE THERE NO QUESTIONS ASK. I WOULD MOVE IN A HEART BEAT IF I COULD. BUT I CANT SO IM STUCK HERE LIVING WITH PARENTS. SO IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE I WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE LIVING IN THAT HOUSE....... |
| Prerequisit For Buying | Feb 11th. at 3:30:32 am EST |

Assuming that I land this job that I want, I intend to buy a house. One of my prerequisits is that it is rumored to be haunted. I'm a bit of a danger bunny when it comes to the paranormal, though don't think I take situations like that lightly. There are many people who've had spirits/entities of various sorts almost destroy their lives. I like an air of mystique in my surroundings. If my boyfriend ends up where I am, it will be harder to find a place that is significantly haunted. However, if I go to him, (England) then our chances of landing the house of our dreams (nightmares) are greater. Stupid? Maybe, but as Daphne Zuniga said in, "A Sure Thing, " "I'm the kind of girl that likes to live on the edge." |

Ok, going with the prompt scenario dream house. Plus a few FRIENDLY inhabitants already who like to make their presence (s) known. If they're turning lights off and on, I can see where that would be a minor annoyance at best. I can also see where it might be a help. Rearranging furninture, that's another story. If I had to keep moving my furniture back, I'd get a bit annoyed. After the first few times, I'd ask them to stop. They have been here longer than I have, but it is my house now. If it doesn't stop, I would have to ask them to leave. The reasoning is, if we can coexist peacefully, there probably won't be too many problems, but if we just don't exist well in the same house, I'm not going to put up with it. A ghost has passed on, and doesn't really need a house here anymore. I'm still here, presumably for a reason, and I *do* need shelter. On the other hand, if at any time I feel that they may *not* be friendly, they're out, sorry, no questions asked. I'm not going to put myself at risk like that, or any pets I may have, or friends or loved ones whom I invite in. But no ghost is going to stop me from moving into a house that I paid for. A house can be cleansed and consecrated. A chance, once passed up, is rarely given again and I don't know many people who get the chance to make their dream house their home. Owl Starlight |
