has anybody here lived in a haunted house?

i think i am living in a haunted house atm, my family even the non superstitious agree, and so do my neighbours, who suspect they had the ghost with them a decade ago. my family's friend who is a psychic noted a presence. it was amusing at first but its beginning to get a bit spooky. its like the house is crying to get out or something. alot of it is the neglectful landlord as well but just weird perceptions of vision in peoples eyes like somethings passing, flickering lights and just really inconvenient tech disruptions or short circuiting or electrical disturbances, and recently all the creaking in the doors have suddenly gotten much worse and grating. the dog next door barks alot at nothing but also could have dementia. theres alot of bugs and mold but thats poor quality house building and neglectful owner. i know alot of things are explainable but with so many people agreeing who would usually say otherwise, and the timing and combination of events has me convinced. generally we are excited to get out of this house asap.

have you guys ever occupied a haunted/supernatural house? whats been going on? have you tried cleansing or something?

Not in a haunted house but a haunted workplace with similar attributes you describe (less the neighbor dog)

When I finally had the courage to turn the break time discussion to haunting in general, people that worked there for years started sharing their stories about our building... which is when I realized the things I noticed weren't just me.

I changed jobs within 18 months... not because of the workplace. But the memories are still clear in my mind decades later.

yeah the shared evidence is the most telling to me and anyone who isnt superstitious... where there any other details like previous occupants or bad stories? how old do you think the workplace was? any interesting stories that other people had?

me and my dad tried to find info on our area but wasnt anything that made it to the news, but we know most tragedies dont make it to the headlines. and no idea what could have happened here thousands of years ago before colonisation. the ghost or spirit has been noticed before this, but i got a pretty old christening doll as well and the cross necklace has been the wrong way so i got that back the right way, and i keep a candle going. sometimes i dont think its the spirit but the house itself is just haunted by bad memories. it gets a bit muddy when ur not sober or have schizotypy/visual snow symptoms or u have other weird things going on with other entities but ive left those details out as multiple people cant notice it. also the house is on the path to having to be demolished anyways with the amount of water damage accumulating and nothing being done about it.

I believe there is so very much that happens just outside our human range of senses, but that some animals can experience - dog whistles, or bug repelling sound generators come to mind but there must be more.

The building was built probably in the 1930s and sometime in the 1970s had a bad fire where a bunch of people died. I was there in the late 1990s.

It was just little things like you said. You'd be sitting at your desk and see someone walk by with peripherial vision, but when you looked they would be gone... but no sound of footsteps on the tile floor. You'd go to look in the hall and nobody was around.

I walked by an empty office and moments later passed it coming back: now the TV would be on but the lights were still off.

One of the security guards told me that sometimes at night the guards would have this lady come to the entrance trying to get in. Decently dressed, middle aged lady. She would ask to come in, because her son didn't come home after work so he must still be there. The guards would politely tell her the office was closed and they were sure everyone was gone, but she could come back during work hours. She would eventually leave kind of dejectedly and walk down the street until out of view.

She was dressed exactly the same, every time she came.

Coworkers had stories about lights acting weird, papers being shuffled on their desk, and stuff like that.

We also had mice/rats maybe, and some things could be just be an older building that had been damaged. But that might not account for everything.
