Shitting a brick over my lovely abode being haunted....

[KeepOnPloddingOn]

Argh!

I hate spooky. I hate ghosts. I am a big, feart scaredy- cat!

So it has come to my attention that my humble abode is indeed haunted
Several have said they have heard / experienced strange noises / seen things.

Help! AIBU to want to move dh, dd and I out?

Have you watched the Paranormal Activity films???

I always wonder if I'd move house if such creepy things started happening where I lived!!

What kind of things have people seen???

If people are seeing or hearing things I'd get a carbon monoxide tester first tbh.

Ghosts don't exist.

You're now free to enjoy the rest of your day. hope that helps x

It's really unlikely to be haunted unless you're er oversensitive bonkers

Just drug test these people and continue living where you are when the results come back positive...

I experienced strange noises once.

Turned out it was wind.

I know such ideas can be frightening. Here is a way to approach it.
How many people have you heard of who have been physically harmed by ghosties?
They are not physical beings; they are an idea in books and films which can give a scary thrill or they are spirit which has no ability to cross to our physical side.
Noises don't hurt you except by making you scared.
You cross the road every day: worry about that; its much more dangerous.

I'm waiting for the first poster to say, "Well I'm a total sceptic but ...."

Put some talc on the floors at night and see if there's any footprints in them in the morning. If there isn't, your house will still smell nice and it also stops the floor boards creaking so it won't have been a complete waste of time.

A & E are required by law to keep records on admissions. The figures for ghost related injuries are comforting. None. No one has been hurt by a ghost. You're more likely to be assaulted by your partner. Are you planning on leaving him?

If there is an afterlife of any kind, I'm going to make damned sure I don't spend it banging on other peoples water pipes.

One lifetime of pedestrian drudgery is quite enough for me.

Your house is not haunted by the way OP.

DH went to vote last week. The woman looked at his voting card and said, oh, so you live in the haunted house do you?

He raised an eyebrow. We've been here 18 months and felt/seen/heard nothing. Just because someone says so, doesn't mean it's so.

Ghosts don't exist.
However you can get your house blessed...
We did, not in a 'begone spooky things' way, but in a 'thank you for the house, watch over us' way.

Well, I'm a total sceptic but . . . I wouldn't move house for a ghost. . .unless it ate my chocolate or drank my wine.

Worra I thought I'd shorten your wait

I think you should buy a ouija board and sort this nonsense out once and for all.

I sometimes experience strange noises in the night, too.

My solution is to roll DH on his side.

Lol, am nicking the water pipe comment :)

I would move!!

That's cheating APlace

You have to follow it up with a 'spooky' story that proves you're anything but sceptic.

You should know the rules by now

I'm really chortling at 'no one being admitted to A and E after being harmed by a ghost'

I think it's "Pipes".....

A Priest will tell you that ghosts don't exist apart from the holy ghost.
So when they go round to a house to exercise it, does he mean he's going to get it to do star jumps and press-ups?

Here you go then, Worra

I'm a total sceptic, but the other day a picture fell off the wall completely unexpectedly, even though it was securely balanced on two nails. Must have been a ghost and not at all related to next door drilling and hammering there's absolutely no other explanation.

Poirots

I'm totally converted now
