"Is my house haunted?"

 "Is my house haunted?"

This question often arises when individuals experience unexplained phenomena such as strange noises, cold spots, or objects moving without apparent cause. People seek to understand whether these occurrences are signs of a haunting or have natural explanations.


Before we jump to conclusions, let’s talk about what people usually report when they think their house is haunted. I’m talking about:

  • Strange footsteps when no one’s home

  • Doors opening or closing on their own

  • Cold spots in warm rooms

  • Lights flickering

  • Feeling like someone’s watching you

  • And of course… the classic: things moving with no explanation

Sounds familiar? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. These experiences are unsettling, but they don’t automatically mean your house is haunted.

Rule Out the Obvious

One of the first things I tell people is this: Rule out the normal before you jump into the paranormal.

We’ve gone into plenty of homes where faulty wiring caused the flickering lights. Or where old pipes made knocking noises at night. Drafty windows? They can explain cold spots.

But here’s the thing—when you’ve ruled all that out, and the activity keeps escalating… that’s when we take it seriously.

What Investigators Look For

When I go into a home, I look for patterns. Paranormal activity isn’t always random. It often repeats itself:

  • Does the activity always happen at a certain time?

  • In the same room?

  • Around a certain person?

We also bring in equipment—EMF detectors, digital recorders, temperature gauges, and cameras. Not because it’s flashy, but because we’re gathering data. We’re trying to understand what’s really happening—not just reacting to a spooky feeling.

Spirits vs. Residual Energy vs. Something Else

Now, not all hauntings are the same.

  • Residual energy is like a spiritual echo. It plays over and over again—same time, same place. It doesn’t interact with you. It just exists.

  • Intelligent hauntings are different. These spirits respond to questions. They know you’re there.

  • And then, of course, there are the darker entities—but let’s save that for another post.

What to Do If You Think Your House is Haunted

If you’re experiencing something and can’t explain it—keep a journal. Write down what happens, when, where, and who was present.

If it starts to affect your sleep, your health, or your peace of mind—get help. Find a reputable paranormal investigator or team in your area. Not someone looking for attention. Someone who will treat your experience with respect and take the time to investigate it properly.


So—is your house haunted? Maybe. Maybe not. But you deserve to feel safe where you live. And whatever is going on, you’re not crazy—and you’re not alone.

Thanks for joining me on [Your Podcast Name]. Next time, we’re diving into the world of spirit communication—how to ask questions, what to avoid, and why some spirits talk... and others stay silent.

Until then—stay curious. Stay grounded. And never stop asking what lies beyond the veil.

Talk Soon

Lemon Tree Passage Ghost - Local legend is alive and well

Lemon Tree Passage  is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia, located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of beautiful Port Stephens .  Ever since I can remember there have been a few urban legends about a stretch of highway named Lemon Tree Passage Road. The story begins when a motor bike rider and his pillion passenger died after colliding with a four wheel drive killing both. This seems to be the source of the ghostly lights and apparition. These sort of events don't stay quiet in small townships. Stories spread fast often not ending up like they started. Every so often this urban legend makes a comeback with a number to people tempting fate and poking the ghost rider.             A memorial to Dale Dickens on the Lemon Tree Passage Road / Pic: Robert Mckell Source:The Daily Telegraph The  Lemon Tree Passage ghost  f...

Diary of a Ghost Hunter - The Wallacia Hotel

  We were given the opportunity of staying overnight at the Wallachia Hotel in Western Sydney. The hotelwas officially opened on December 3rd 1937. During the Second World War the hotel was used as the Army headquarters for radiopyhysics. I had never been to the Wallacia Hotel before, but, my ghost hunting gal pal Anne, had been there about 5 years ago with a group of Paranormal Investigators that she was working with at the time. We arrived and we were greeted by Craig, the night manager, who welcomed us with open arms.  Craig recognised Anne from the last time she had visited.  Anne asked whether any spooky things had been happening over the last few years. Craig said that he always thought that there was something a little bit weird going on late at night. Over the last few months everything had changed as the Hotel had been very much affected by the COVID lock downs This was a huge hotel with quite an interesting history even though in the whole scheme of things the h...

Headless Ghost Story from Port Stephens

  Headless  Ghost. A N.S.W. Mystery. A correspondent writes to a  Sydney paper : — Many years ago a retired sea captain built a large house in  a lonely spot at the junction of Limeburners' Creek and Karuah River (Port Stephens), and therein reared a large family, After the old dad' went west,' most of the family being married, the house was taken by a fisherman with a large family.   At night they were disturbed by footsteps, doors opening and shutting, crockery rattling and on moonlight nights the figure of a woman without a bead would be observed. As three fierce dogs were kept, no stranger could approach unmolested. On one occasion one of the sons fired point- blank at the figure, without effect. The fisherman's family were away, and the house remained closed. One night some young fellows from Karuah were fishing close by.   A storm coming on they took refuge in the empty house. They propped a log against the door, and lo,  ...
