SEEKERS DOOR

The following are some common signs that your house may have something supernatural hanging around. Hauntings won't have all of the below symptoms (unless it's something powerful or negative) but maybe just a selected few. Every haunting is unique and follows different paths.

What you MUST do before you start believing that your house is haunted is to always look for the natural and logical explanation for the symptoms that you will read below. Just because you hear banging on the walls doesn't make it a ghost. This could be something as simple as waterpipes or creaking wood in the roof, or maybe if you feel cold spots then perhaps it's cold air coming in through an air vent or crack under the window.

Keep a log in a notebook of everything that is happening. Note down times, places of occurrence and events. This would be an excellent source of information should you decide to ask an investigator to come to your house. It would let them know what is happening, what they might be dealing with and what method to use in bringing closure to the haunting.

Once you feel that no natural explanation can be found and would like to call out an investigator, please don't use the first one you find if you are after immediate assistance. Ask around and find out exactly who they are, how many investigations they have done and what they can do to bring you closure.

If your haunting is not bothering you and you would just like to get some pictures for your own personal collection etc., then maybe you might like to try giving someone new a go so they can gain practice and experience with this field of work because it's a hard business to get into professionally.

I can say that several of these things listed I can relate too.

Another common thing is doors opening and closing by themselves and the car alarm going off just as I'm about to get into the car. This never happened to my spouse only me.

i have experienced most of these things at one point or another in my life.. when i was younger i even had some poltergeist activity and it only seemed to 'mess' with me!

What freaked me out the most was feeling them like touching me literally.

I eventually started shielding, grounding and centering (although sometimes it can be laxed, lol). The most amount of activity and expereinces happened when I just opened up. I was dealing with a house full of spirits overnight and lived with it for over a year. I had no clue what I was doing either. It took a long time to get that control back but when I did it was learning experience and a very valuable one.

i dont really think the touching has ever botherd me since it was always from positive spirits... one experience i will never forget though was when i was roughly 11 or 12 years old.. i had this little toy from a fast food place that played a xmas song if u pressed its belly... i used to press it with it under my pillow each night to help myself fall asleep... well one morning i woke up rather early.. the sun was already up but it was still too early for me to wake up... i woke up because i heard that little toy hit the floor.. it had fallen off of my bed.. i decided to pick it up and go back to sleep.. but as i was reaching my hand down to it i could clearly see its stomach being pressed in (though i could not see anything there to press it) and it started playing music.. i started to freak out! the song would stop and i thought i was just going crazy so went to pick it up again.. as soon as my hand was almost touching it.. there it went again, and again i could see that something was pressing it making it play the song! i then decided i was not going crazy and that there was something in my room RIGHT NEXT TO me on the floor!!! i pulled the covers over my head and layed in the fetal position just absolutely terrified! i didnt want to scream for help as i thought it may provoke whatever was there and by the time i got help it may be too late... i didnt want to hop off of my bed and run out of the room as i feared it would just chase me... so i layed there and layed there... and over and over it would press the toy... i just wanted it to stop and leave me alone... i would have cried but was affraid it would have drawn more attention to me so i layed there without movement without sound.. even affraid to breathe! after roughly 3 hrs of tormenting my mother finally came in my room wondering why i hadnt gotten up yet.. i hoped off of the bed and ran out! it took months for me to be able to sleep properly again in my room!... in that time i also had other experiences like my radio turning itself on and off.. my brothers belongings mysteriously ending up in my room, closet doors opening and shutting ect... it was a terrifing experince... if it were to happen to me now id more then likely bitch at whatever was doing it (just like i did the spirit a few weeks ago that wouldnt let me sleep)...

What amazing experiences.

I know when spirits entered into my life again and it was pretty scary for me. The more I freaked the worse it got until one day I looked around and the next thing I Knew my home was full of spirits, I mean full like you couldn't breath. I was able to handle this exerience though and it was my time to do so. I'm convinced of that.

I only now know what to do when it comes to blocking, shielding and clearing myself. This is a far cry from a year ago, lol..

ive always has spirits of one sort of another around me.. and when i was still very very young i could see spirits.. this was a gift i had blocked out since i was so terrified of it (as well as my clairaudience).. anyways shortly after i turned 19 i was spending the night at a friends house.. everyone had already went to bed and i was watching some tv on the couch.. all the sudden i see this shadow figure walk down the hall into the livingroom and then it just stood there looking at me from less then 6ft away! feelings of terror raced through me again! lol and this time i did hide under the covers again as well... anyways to make a long story short.. i calmed myself down and realized that whatever that was was not negative and was not going to harm me.. my gift was just finally starting to open itself again.. this is why i only see them as shadows now.. every once in a while ill get more deffinition but mainly just still shadows and shillohetes of the people they used to be..

That's what I get a white outline of them and on occasion I may get a glimpse of a face but never a full body. I have also seen black shadows too. I can clearly pic them out in photos and they always appear cartoonie looking.

It becomes less frightening as you become more exposed I find anyway. The mere presents of them frightened me but now I'm in control not them.

there was one time a spirit showed himself to me... like he was laying in front of me and was not transparent or anything like that ... he looked as alive as me or you! also when he did this, i was video taping.. and yes i did catch him on tape.. the odd thing about it though was that every time we replayed the tape it showed a different part of his body!!! anyways i dont get the white outline or anything just a black shadow.. that is why it freaked me out so bad back then.. lol i figured if it was dark it was negative.. i was wrong though lol... i do not see them all the time either, i guess i can only see the ones that want me to see them.. i dono?

I truly believe the ones that appear do so because they want to be helped.

They come to you since they know you know how to give it as a medium or can find it for them.

My step-son sees what you do the black outlines and sometimes all in black like solid looking. It only happened for a short time. He has since learned to block them and they stop coming to him.
