Haunted Houses – what to do
Dec 4th, 2009 | By Webmaster | Category: Podcasts with Fiona Broome
Is my house haunted? People often ask that question, and it deserves a complete answer.
In this podcast, Fiona Broome explains the three important steps to take if you think your house (or a client’s) is haunted.
1. Keep a diary of what’s going on, and then have someone evaluate it from a “home handyman” (DIY) viewpoint. If there’s no reasonable explanation for the phenomena, it may be a ghost.
2. Decide if the ghost is a problem. If there are no safety issues, your sleep isn’t interrupted, and no one is excessively stressed by the haunting, find ways to live with your ghost/s. Otherwise, consult a professional in the paranormal field.
3. Find a genuine professional. Ask for references (not just the person’s neighbors and family members) and be sure to check all of them. Look for significant experience (at least six months to a year of professional-level work) and consistently happy clients.
It’s okay to work with someone (or a team) that’s highly recommended by people you respect, regardless of their references or years in the field. However, when dealing with strangers, check references.
Remember, the vast majority of haunted houses either aren’t really haunted, or the haunting is simply residual energy, not an actual ghost.
This logical, step-by-step approach can relieve worries and stress over a possible haunting.
