your house is haunted??? cool!!! my parents house is also haunted. and i have at least one ghost who just hangs around

can you tell us more about your haunted house

oh gladly.

disclaimer here i am super not here to debate the existence of ghosts wkaksksjfjjf. i don't CARE if anyone reading this doesn't believe in ghosts because this is my life lmfao. my mum is a full-on empathic medium (she sees, hears, talks to, smells, even occasionally touches, WHOLE NINE), my older brother and i are sensitive (and i'm also an empath, to boot), and my younger brother has spirits come to him in dreams. my dad is not a special lad with special brain but he's been around all this stuff for 20+ years now and he's gotten used to all of it.

i can tell you........ so much so here goes:

so the majority of the ghosts we have hanging around our place are family.

my other younger brother and my nana are the most common visitors, but there are other extended family members who roll through from time to time, too. there's never an empty moment in the house

speaking of my nana, my dad apparently inherited her poltergeist! and now he likes to fuck with me. she named him armstrong, and he answers to it. when he first appeared back when my dad was a kid, he just liked to flicker the lights in the bathroom attached to the kitchen to bug my nana. nowadays, he likes to knock my action figures over and... hide food in places it shouldn't be. i used to call him the granola bar poltergeist, bc he would put granola bars in places they shouldn't be logically. like balanced on the chair rail, or in the bathroom drawers. why would any of my living family members put that shit there? they wouldn't. exactly.

THERE ARE SO MANY PETS. SO MANY.

SOME OF THEM WEREN'T EVEN OURS, THEY WERE PETS OF FRIENDS. I HEARD A PARROT THE OTHER DAY AND ASKED IF IT WAS ON THE TV. MUM SAID NO. IT WAS ON THE BACK OF THE COUCH

back in july, my friend mar was staying at my place and a cat that my mum had like right before i was born turned on my lamp right in front of her. like twice. so thanks for freaking her out, pepsi 😒 /j

the last pup we lost was an english spaniel named sasha, and she was my baby and i miss her sososososo bad 🥺 we got her when she was already five, and she had started going blind very soon after, so she'd find her way around the house by gently bumping her head against doorways and walls and stuff. it made a really distinct sound, and a lot of times i still hear her thumpin around the downstairs level ajskahdksjfle

as for spirits that came with our house, we have a few we know by name!

there was a spirit of a man in the basement when we first moved in, his name is Eduardo, but we call him Eddie. he's attached to the property, not the house, and he said he lived and worked here in the late 1700s/early 1800s. he was likely a servant, which.. oof. BUT, he's special because he's fully aware that he's dead! he's completely conscious! he doesn't stay in the basement anymore, he just hangs out on the downstairs level because he thinks we're all chill. he thinks TVs are fuckin fantastic

there's a rlly high dutch population in my area, and an elderly dutch couple haunt the attic. we've nicknamed them oma and opa. they are NOT aware that they're dead, but they are aware of us, which is odd? every day, a little after 6pm, an apparition will pass on the front porch, and that's opa "coming home from work". if you go into the attic and don't "stay for tea", oma will get mildly salty. they're just nice.

my mum sees horses in the backyard. like regularly. just herds of wild horses

(THIS IS DARK YOU'VE BEEN WARNED) i live on the main highway through my town. there's unfortunately a death echo on the road just outside, and im usually the only person who fucking hears ittttttt. in the 1910s-ish, a little boy passed away due to an accident with a horse and buggy. every now and again, i can hear him screaming 🥲 i fucking hate it, but i hated it even MORE when my baby brother was still little bc i thought it was him getting hit by a car or something

that's all i can think of at the moment, that covers the basics (THE BASICS.) there are so many more incidents i could tell y'all about but i gotta go get ready for work ive been typing for an hour wjskajdksjfkd BYEEEE
