31 Spooky Stories from People Who Believe Their House Is Haunted

If you believe in ghosts — or as the more enlightened call them — “entities,” you’re aware that their creepy tricks aren’t relegated to October. In fact, some people are haunted for years on end, like the Redditor who says they “lived in a house with activity” for 12 years, where strange voices, slamming doors, running footsteps and flickering lights were all run-of-the-mill experiences. 

They went on to add that these entities “started throwing things” while the house was being renovated, but they ignored the behavior because it didn’t hurt anyone. One day, though, the Redditor and a friend were in the basement when the door suddenly slammed shut, the lock clicked and someone started laughing. They were stuck there for two hours. That’s not very nice! 

Other Redditors have revealed the eerie things they’ve seen, heard or felt, including a ghost nanny, a man in the corner and a doppelganger house.
