How To Know If Your Home Is Haunted

Do you suspect that you home may be haunted, or feel the presence of something paranormal? When we sense something like this, it is usually true. And the more open we are to it, the more this kind off spirit energy can linger in the house, on furniture, and even in ornaments and clothing. Spirit energy can become attached to a place, person, or an object and dwell there.

One of the tell-tale signs to look out for is a sudden sense of cold air that you cannot explain – it feels a little like being near dry ice. This is how I often experience it. Other signs include a strong pressure around your head, a strange ‘heaviness’ in the air, whispers, unusual sounds, or hearing voices, as well as the feeling that someone is watching you.

Other things to look out for is electrical disturbances that can’t be explained, seeing shadows out of the corner of your eye, the ominous feeling of being touched, feeling constantly drained or tired, and abnormal behavior in your pets. You may also have an ‘unwelcome house guest’ if there are unexplained, unfamiliar smells that have no other explanation. It is often a foul smell.

Being more aware of the presence of spirit energies can be very helpful when you are considering renting or buying a house. Often there is a presence of dark, negative spirit attachment in a home, it will often feel very cold, empty, lonely, and angry. A home with positive, healthy energy feels peaceful warm, peaceful and calm.

Ghosts are spirits that have not crossed over. There are differences between a ghost and a spirit. A spirit, like the energies of our departed loved ones, our guides and angels, makes us feel calm and reassured., while a ghost or negative energy attachment will cause an eerie, ominous feeling.

If you feel that the spirit energy is that of a loved one or benevolent entity, then it is wise to stay open to any messages or signs that they might want to give you. But if it is a ghost, you must set firm energy boundaries so that you can live in your home comfortably and peacefully.

If you feel the presence of negative energies in your current home, then it could very well be ‘haunted.’ In this case, it may be best to do some energy cleansing and clearing. Cleanse your space regularly by smudging with sage and aim to fill your home with positive energy always.

Crystals are another great way to invite positive energy, and clear or banish negative energy. The best crystals for this purpose are clear quartz. Place them in anywhere that you need positive, healing energy.Diffusing essential oils is also very helpful to improve your home’s energy. I like to use Jasmine and Patchouli.

The most important thing to remember is that negative spirit energies tend to be ‘lost souls.’ They inspire fear and anxiety, as it gives them something to ‘feed off.’  Do not try to communicate or engage with such energies. Instead, focus on filling your home with positive light and love.
