Pets are often the first to sense a supernatural presence. If your cat stares at a corner for ages, or your dog barks at seemingly nothing, they might be picking up on something you can’t see.
Animals have heightened senses and can detect sounds, smells, and energies beyond human perception.
Dogs, for example, are known to sense natural disasters like earthquakes before they happen. So it’s not far-fetched that they could also sense ghosts.
One of the most common signs of a haunting is the sudden appearance of unexplained smells. These can be pleasant, like floral perfume or pipe tobacco. Or they can be downright disturbing, such as the stench of sulphur (which some associate with negative energy or spirits).
What makes it even spookier? These scents often appear out of nowhere and vanish just as quickly, with no explanation.
Do you ever feel like someone’s watching you, even when you’re alone? Maybe you sense a presence standing behind you, or get the feeling someone’s in the room with you – even though nobody is there?
This is a classic hallmark of a haunted home. Many people describe it as a lingering, ghostly presence that just won’t leave. You might even get the sense that you’re being watched, no matter where you go in the house. It’s like a ghostly game of hide-and-seek where the spirit is trying to get your attention but just can’t figure out how to send a proper text.
The thudding of boots on the stairs, phantom footsteps pacing the hallways, and mysterious voices chattering in the dead of night are all telltale signs that your house might just be haunted. While these spooky sounds and sudden chills are often linked to hauntings that are on repeat, there’s also a good chance you’ve got a ghost who’s just dying for your attention.
