Experiencing a Haunting?


Where To Start...
If you are currently experiencing an unusual event this section may be of some help.

Remain Calm
Although many people experience strange events, very few of them turn out to be paranormal. It is important that you remain clear headed and objective while dealing with this experience. Some experiences happen only once, others reoccur. If your event only happened once, it may not be possible to find the cause.

Document Everything
If the event is recurring, each person who is witnessing the events should start a written journal. Each person should record as much information as possible about what they are experiencing. Be sure to include time, date, where you were, what you were doing, who else was at the location when the event occurred, what they were doing, the weather, etc. Then write about the event in as much detail as you can. These journals will be extremely important when you begin to analyze the events.

Mundane or Paranormal?
Before you can begin to consider the possibility that you are experiencing a haunting, you must first carefully rule out any mundane causes for the events (like sounds made by old plumbing systems or animals living in crawl spaces.). Review all your journals and see if any patterns emerge. Use your best judgment and common sense. In many cases simple, everyday explanations can be found for events that appear to be paranormal.

Do Some Research
If you are truly convinced you are experiencing a haunting, then the next step in dealing with it is to learn why it is happening. Begin by researching the history of the location or item that seems to be the focus of the haunting. Contact previous owners or tenants and see if they have had similar experiences. Attempt to understand the events and entities that may be causing the haunting.

Take Care of Yourself
Regardless of the cause, many people find these kinds of experiences stressful and frightening. Should you feel that you or any of the other witness are having a difficult time, you should not hesitate to contact your health care provider or licensed counselor for support.

Getting Rid of a Ghost
There is no proven way to get rid of a ghost or stop a haunting. It seems that haunt events stop when they are ready. There are those who claim to be able to “clear” a house. While some of these people maybe reputable and may have had a high success rate, be careful to hire only people that you trust.

Please note that TPR does not offer ghost removal services.

Request a Consultation or Investigation
After you have examined all the possible causes for these events and you are sure you have ruled out the possible mundane causes, you may wish to contact us for additional advice or to request a no cost, systematic, investigation of your case. Please see the Services page of this site for more information.
