Introduction

Since the beginning of time, people have been telling terrifying stories about the mysterious beings that live in deserted mansions.

A home is haunted if its occupants have experienced or reported ghost sightings, doors opening and closing on their own, voices whispering, screams heard and other unexplainable happenings within the home.

It is a commonly held belief that "genuine" haunted houses are inhabited by ghosts and other spirits of the dead, some of whom are evil and destructive.

In contrast, others are benevolent and helpful to the living.

This belief comes from many people who have reported experiencing paranormal activity in supposedly haunted locations.

What is a Ghost?

Simply put, a ghost is a vision of a deceased person who appears to live people in a recognisable form, although this is not always the case.

There are various forms of ghosts. There isn't just one type of ghost. For example, poltergeists, or noisy ghosts, can cause objects in your home to move.

Funnel ghosts are typically discovered in old structures and can take the form of light attempting to visit a loved one.

The same is true for orbs, which are light balls. Some ghosts resemble mist or 'whisps.'

There are no 'bedsheet' ghosts, as far as we know. That's just a handy way of illustrating things or providing people with ideas for Halloween costumes.

According to some tales, fans of the paranormal are probably aware that ghost hunters use equipment such as electromagnetic field detectors, which can detect visitors from other worlds.

They also utilise temperature guns to look for cold spots in houses, which is regarded to be a sure sign that spirits are nearby and a sign that ghosts are present.

The term derives from an Old English word that means spirit or soul, gast or gost. It is also associated with geist, a German term for spirit.

The term is Dutch for ghost. Other European languages are similar. For example, German speakers say'spuk,' Danish speakers say'spge,' Swedish speakers say'spöke,' while Norwegians say'spjok.'

The ancient Romans frequently believed that the departed person's vengeance might be exacted if they summoned a ghost.

They accomplished this by scratching a curse on a curse tablet and burying it. That is heinously terrible and cruel.

The witching hour, as the name implies, is the time of night when supernatural and paranormal events are more likely to occur.

During the witching hour, ghosts and demons are supposed to be at their most potent. And, of course, witches.

According to a poll of 2500 people, three out of every
