Five Signs Your House May Be Haunted
Things go bump in the
night. You feel like someone is always watching you. You think you
have a ghost, but maybe it’s a just a creepy squirrel scrambling
around your attic at night and staring at you through the windows.
How can you tell for sure?
The
editors of Ladies’ Haunted Home
Journal are back with an easy guide
to determining whether a paranormal presence infests your house!
Before calling the ghost trappers, consider whether you have any of
the following signs:
Cold
Spots: One or more areas in your
house might seem much colder the space around it. This may be a
corner, closet, or other out-of-the-way spot. You may be excited to
learn that when you feel the cold spot, you’re not just in the
presence of a restless dead spirit, you’re also touching it!
You’re almost inside the ghost, and it’s kind of inside you.
Pretty neat. Important note: A cold spot inside your refrigerator or
freezer may be caused by the appliance itself.
Strange
Sounds: You may hear moaning,
groaning, thumping or crashing late at night. Make sure it isn’t
an elderly neighbor or relative bumbling around your house. If you
hear voices threatening you with death or dismemberment, you might
consider the benefits of spending the night at a Motel 6.
Mysterious
Motion: Plates slide off the
counter. Doors open or close by themselves. The chandelier leaped
down from the ceiling, flew across the room, and tried to kill you
last week. You’re beginning to think something may be amiss.
First, make sure there aren’t any logical causes for these
problems, such as keeping your counter too greasy, or a broken hinge
in the door, or that idiot who installed your chandelier. If you
can’t find an explanation, odds are you’ve got a ghost (or a
poltergeist, but let’s not split hairs).
Absurd
Disappearances:
Your keys disappear from your end table, only to be found in the fish
tank. Your good silver vanishes, piece by piece, and you discover
all of down in a mysterious back corner of the basement. It’s
either a family member with bizarre hoarding tendencies or a
mischievous ghost. Either way, you’ve got an annoying problem on
your hands.
Full
Apparitions: If you have seen a
ghost appear and disappear, you probably have a ghost. We don’t
really have an alternate explanation for this one. Call your local
paranormal exterminator today!
We
hope these tips will help you sort out whether your house is haunted
or your family just weird! If you have further questions, please

Haunted – What Now? Good luck
with that ghost!
Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper by J.L. Bryan
Publication date: September 19th 2014Genres: Adult, Horror, Paranormal
Ellie Jordan’s job is to catch and remove unwanted ghosts. Part detective, part paranormal exterminator, Ellie operates out of Savannah, Georgia, one of the oldest and most haunted cities in North America.
When a family contacts her to deal with a disturbance presence in the old mansion they’ve recently purchased, Ellie first believes it to be a typical, by-the-book specter, a residual haunting by a restless spirit. Instead, she finds herself confronted an evil older and more powerful than she’d ever expected, rooted in the house’s long and sordid history of luxury, sin, and murder. The dangerous entity seems particularly interested in her clients’ ten-year-old daughter.
Soon her own life is in danger, and Ellie must find a way to exorcise the darkness of the house before it can kill her, her clients, or their frightened young child.
J.L. Bryan studied English literature at the University of Georgia and at Oxford, with a focus on the English Renaissance and the Romantic period. He also studied screenwriting at UCLA. He enjoys remixing elements of paranormal, supernatural, fantasy, horror and science fiction into new kinds of stories. He lives in Atlanta with his wife, his son, and some dogs and cats.
