Are you being haunted?
Do you think you might have an otherworldly roommate? This page has a checklist of the typical signs of a haunting. Explore the list to see if you’ve experienced any of these indications of a ghost’s presence. You can also print this printable version of the checklist to keep to refer to when things go bump in the night.
Haunting Checklist
- Floorboards creak when no one is there
- Parts of the house/apartment are always drafty, despite the absence of vents or open windows
- Your dog barks at nothing (or your cat has hissy fits)
- Furniture is frequently found in different places, but your roommates swear they didn’t touch anything
- Doors slam when you’re home alone
- Strange sounds echo through your home at night – such as a child’s laughter or a baby crying (only check this category if you don’t have a child or baby that could be making these sounds)
- You often see movement in your peripheral vision, but when you turn to look, nothing is there
- Your child/younger sibling is attached to an imaginary friend that he/she insists is real
- You actually saw a ghost*
* If you checked this category, then you're probably haunted
If you checked two or more items on this list, you’re either haunted, or your roommate/partner/sibling is messing with you. You should question them before you proceed to attempt to communicate with or remove the spirit that haunts your home.
