You probably think that a haunting could never happen to you. Haunted houses are problems for other people, or perhaps they’re even made up. However, if you’ve been experiencing strange occurrences around your house, you’ve probably had your suspicions about whether or not you could actually be experiencing a haunting. Let’s examine some of the more common occurrences in haunted houses so that you can see if you might be dealing with something supernatural.
Unusual Pet Behavior
Animals have much different senses from humans. A dog can see parts of the light spectrum that humans cannot. Dogs can also hear extremely high-pitched sounds that don’t register at all to people. They also have a much more acute sense of smell. Because of these differences in senses, it stands to reason that some pets may have a greater ability to observe the supernatural. Many houses with hauntings have had reports of strange pet behavior. Animals will stare intently at what seems to be nothing. They may even bark or act threatened by an unseen force. If you notice a pet behaving strangely, you might be dealing with a supernatural presence.
Unexplained Smells
The sense of smell doesn’t get as much credit as it deserves. This sense has the power to evoke emotions and memories that are much stronger than any other sense. Many people who have experienced hauntings have reported unexplained odors. These people often report experiences such as smelling the fragrance of a deceased relative. These smells can also be of a much less pleasant variety. If you’re noticing an unexplained scent in your home, try to find a logical explanation for it. If you simply can’t, you may be haunted.
Electronics Misbehaving
Electronics often freak out in ghost stories and movies. As it turns out, these events are based somewhat in reality. People with haunted houses often experience strange occurrences with devices in their homes. Lights that were turned off will be turned on upon returning to your home. Unexplained interference or radio signals may happen with audio equipment. In very extreme cases, you may be able to pick up ghostly voices on audio recordings. If you are experiencing such bizarre events with your electronic devices, you have a very strong case for a haunting.
Unexplained Temperature Variation
Cold spots are a very common occurrence in haunted locations. It is believed that a cold spot may be the physical space that the entity is occupying. However, it can be very difficult to determine if you are actually experiencing a cold spot just by feeling the air with your body. Ghost hunters typically use thermographic cameras to see if there are any obvious cold spots. They may also use infrared thermometers, which only detect surface temperatures in a very small space. Cold spots as well as any other unexplained temperature anomalies are strong evidence for the presence of supernatural entities.
It is always best to make sure that there are no easily-available explanations for bizarre occurrences in your home. If you find that you are experiencing some of these unusual things and that they cannot be explained, you should contact a trustworthy paranormal investigator. Although most potential hauntings wind up not being anything to worry about, you should always be aware of what you are dealing with.
