Kaye.. I got a laugh out of your last message, so yes I am keeping my spirits up hehe. I dont think the ghost has caught me in the shower otherwise it would have run a mile by now lol.

Kaye LaLa. Sounds like you have had your share of eerie experiences as well. I think I might do as Diana and you have mentioned and stand in the middle of the room and ask them to stop their games and leave. Not that they are causing any harm like they did with you and your microwave, but it is getting annoying when the doorbell rings in the early hours of the morning. Kaye.. if it gets more eerie or any worse I might think about moving.

Seriously I believe that my old house was haunted. It wasn't an old Victorian house or anything like that, in fact it was a bungalow built (and decorated) in the 60's/70's - all swirly carpets and slightly psychadelic wallpaper! The day we moved in there my Husband said it felt unlucky, I didn't feel that, but it never did feel like home. I noticed that a particular object in the Kitchen was always slightly out of place, but at first I thought I was just knocking it. Then one day my Husband confessed that he thought the place was haunted - he kept hearing doors shut in the middle of the night and would get up thinking we had burglars, but there was never anyone there. A lot of the electrical items in the house went wrong, which I suppose you could say was dodgy wiring. But one thing was odd - we got a brand new microwave and within a week it had packed up completely, an engineer came out and fixed it and then a couple of days later it packed up again, the same engineer came out again and couldn't understand why it had gone wrong again - he fixed it and left. A few days later it went again and this time we demanded a replacement thinking it was faulty. The replacement worked fine, but the digital clock was fast - about 12 hours ahead. This was a minor problem that we lived with. About a year later we moved again and my Husband set up the microwave, I told him not to bother with the clock as it was fast, but he set it anyway - it worked fine! We kept for a few years until it started to go wrong, but the clock always kept time. There were other things that made us believe it was haunted, but it's too long a story to go into on here. They do say that you should ask the spirt or ghost or whatever to stop playing trick on you - supposed to help? Kaye x

Jim, That is what we thought that something may be intefering with it as in a neighbour with the same type of doorbell, but they havent and we are the only one with a car that has an alarm on it....

Asregards the doorbell, I had a similar problem with a neighbour's car alarm. Every time he switched the damn thing on or off, I was going to the front door and swearing at the non-existent kids!

Kaye, I have thought about trying to look into the past with the house. It is an old house and the council are trying to make it a heritage listed house. If there is a ghost I think he is a friendly one... but annoying lol.

Wow.... apparently if you stand in a room in the centre of your house and ask the spirit to identify itself it will knock something off that either belonged to them or reminds you of them if you know the spirit. If not then just ask it to leave as its making you uncomforatable and it should stop.

I live in an old house, and we have had a few strange happenings. First we have an old wooden veranda that goes along 2 sides of the house that stop with a dead end and about a 15 foot jump off the veranda to the ground below, we was sitting in the kitchen and heard what sounded like someone walking along the veranda. But when we opened the door from the kitchen to the veranda there was no one there. Secondly I had a Christmas card hanger in the lounge room at Christmas time, it was one that if you pressed a spot on the hanger it played Christmas tunes, well it went off a couple of times. At first I blamed the children, but then it happened when I was in the house alone. Lastly we have a wireless doorbell that runs on batteries. It is the type that you can move the inside section into different rooms or if you want you can take it to the clothesline etc so you can hear it if someone is at the door. It also suggests checking if your neighbours have one the same as it could affect each other’s, so if one person gets a visitor and presses the doorbell it could ring in both houses. Well it has gone off on its own accord on 3 occasions. I have checked with the neighbours and they haven’t got that type of doorbell. I have charged the batteries and it still happened. It went off for the 3rd time last night at 12.20 am so we jumped up out of bed, and I looked out the bedroom window to the driveway and the front of the house, while my partner went to the back door and turned the outside light on, we saw no movement from anywhere. What do you think have we got ghosts????
