Six Chilling Ways To Find Out If Your Home is Haunted in Edmonton

Have you ever had that eerie feeling that someone else is in your house? During Fall, it’s sometimes normal to sense more darkness and otherworldly energy around us. Nights become longer and it tends to be more cold and gloomy. But if you’ve been feeling haunted at home lately, here are six signs to know whether you are just imagining things or if there is really a ghostly presence at home.

The first thing to know is whether your home has a spooky history. When you buy a home, there’s always a home disclosure that should include any crimes or grim events that have happened in the house. Make sure that you also asked your real estate agent of the home seller about the house’s history. Aside from that, you can also do your research. You might be surprised to find out that the house was built on top of an old cemetery or hospital.

Once you’ve figured out your house’s past, let’s move on to other signs that you might be feeling personally when at home. Are there any cold spots at home or do you feel sudden changes in temperature? Unless your HVAC system needs some repairs, cold spots or sudden temperature changes can be a sign of a ghostly presence. Try to purposely heat up the area where you feel cold spots and see whether it still stays cold to know if something is really up.

Do you hear weird sounds or see mysterious shadows? Sometimes, it’s normal to see things and to hear random noises at home. It could be your neighbours, the wind, or trees and animals outside. But when you are constantly experiencing unexplainable scenarios, maybe it’s time to consider calling a medium.

The fourth sign of having a spirit at home is when things aren’t always where you left them. Although sometimes, it can be your memory or other people at home moving things. But ghosts can be playful and mischievous and there can be moments when you know exactly where you left something, and the next instant, it’s not there or in a different location.

The fifth sign is when your pets suddenly behave strangely. Many believe that pets can sense spirits and ghosts. Take note of your pet’s weird behaviours at home - barking at thin air, whimpering, or crying - and you might realize that they are sensing another presence.

Last but not the least, technological glitches are sometimes caused by ghosts. Spikes in electromagnetic field readings (EMF) are often used by paranormal experts to detect whether there are spirits. If you’ve noticed technological glitches or high EMF readings at home, then it could either be faulty wiring or ghosts - both of which are alarming!

Having a haunted house can be cool and creepy at the same time. No one knows your home better than you, so if you think that there might be ghosts or spirits lurking, then it can be best to trust your gut. Don’t be afraid to contact a professional if you need help handling any paranormal activity at home.
