Freaked Out

Also, I thought realtors had to disclose if a house was haunted, but maybe not. My friends lived in a haunted house for years. The spirit was not evil, but every once in a while would let them know that it was there by opening all cabinets in the kitchen or flicking the lights. They just got used to it.

LOL..umm ok

A big myth. Real estate disclosures are controlled by state law. Most states do not require disclosure of somebody dying in the house. A few states have some minor exceptions, like if the house was the cause of the death - e.g. Somebody fell off a dangerous balcony.

I am so happy you gave an example, becuae I was envisioning a house pulling its "arms" (whatever they might be) out of the ground and grabbing the owner, smacking him/her around a few dozen times, and then leaving him/her dead on the ground. Man, it HAS been a long day...

Have a priest come in and do a blessing

That depends on the state. In Maryland, you don't have to disclose that as it is not a material fact.

So a two year-old lives in this house and little things are disappearing from time to time? Haunted, definitely.

Exactly. Your ghost is probably very short. Made sure to put everything high enough and you'll be fine.

Ask you priest or Rabbi to come bless the house. THat is what my Catholic friend did. It worked.

This is shocking: there are adults walking around in our midst who think that a realtor must DiSCLOSE that a house is HAUNTED. My mouth hangs open.

DH and I moved into a new home several weeks ago. It’s an older home (1940s), I am already in love with it. I also want to point out that I think it has a very nice feel to it…meaning I don’t get an uneasy feeling and generally feel positive in the house alone or otherwise.

Though we didn’t have incidents the first few weeks, this week there have been a couple of weird things happened.

DH said his nail clippers were missing from the master bathroom, I kind of brushed it off and figured he misplaced them. Then last night my contact case was missing. I searched high and low and its so strange bc I obviously take my contacts out every night (and have done so for the last 20+ years) and have never ever misplaced it. And now its vanished. And oddly enough, in helping me look for my contact case my husband found his nail clippers right where they should be and was adamant they were not there before when he had looked previously.
This happens to me every week. Because we misplace things. And we have a toddler. And we forget stuff.

So at this point I am a little freaked out and am in bed by myself while DH closes up the house and the phone rings. I spring to answer it bc I don’t want it to wake DC and when I answer no one is there. I look at the caller ID and the number never registered.
If you pick up the phone very quickly this happens frequently.
So I am sufficiently freaked out that we just spent a sh**load of money on a house that’s haunted.

Please make me feel better (or worse) and what you would do?!?!

I had a coworker who knew people whose house had a ghost. They gave it a name, something like Henry.

Lights or the TV would randomly turn off, and they'd say, "Henry, turn the TV back on." And the TV would turn back on.

You sound like a person who's never misplaced anything before or had a hang up call. I'm jealous.
