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.
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,
and confidential investigation of your case.
Getting Rid of
a Ghost
There is no absolute way to get rid of a ghost or stop a haunting. Ghosts
move on when they are ready. There are psychics 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.
One method
that seems to have some success is to simply talk to the ghost. Using
the information from your research, try to identify and communicate
with the ghost. Sit quietly, introduce yourself and talk to them. Try
to find out what the ghost wants. Let them know that you are not going
anywhere and that you will need to share the space.
