Has anyone ever bought a house that ended up being haunted? I’m looking at one that seems suspiciously cheap and is over 100 years old so I’m wondering if I am willing to take the risk.
To put it another way: people all over the world have had phones in their pockets for a while now. Has there ever been definitive proof of UFOs or paranormal activity? No. People have busted psychics/fortune-tellers/mediums by offering huge cash prizes for verified proof. No one has ever passed…
With the ghost, ya. Got a 200 year old house and the biggest issue is the uneven floors, shitty plumbing, wet bacement, window AC, and the dog next door.
It took 50k in remodeling to get it cozy liveable. Anything people attribute to ghost means they didn’t spend the time to troubleshoot.
My mom bought a form antique store/hoarder’s storage building that felt haunted, on account of still having all the stuff inside. It was full of interesting coincidences, like when you’d cut yourself on something you’d find a first aid kit in the next box. Or when my aunt from Ann Arbor came down to visit and we found a set of post cards from Ann Arbor, MI. Also, the painting of a lady hung up above the ceiling via a nail through her chest was a bit creepy.
What I’m saying is that ghosts can be a comforting concept and find you bandages.

The answer to this question is unequivocally “no”. Though some houses may have low oscillation waves created by the way air moves through the house, creating shadows in the corner of your vision, and giving you a weird feeling.
Sounds more like structural problems or otherwise lots of expensive wear and tear repairs are needed if the price is cheap. Or, maybe there are development plans nearby that will lower the price of the property in a few years.
My wife before we met. I don’t really believe in woo woo shit but… Lights would be on that were off, cabinet doors were found open that were closed. It all stopped after a relative of the former (deceased) owner stopped to visit one day. Could be explained other ways, sure. I don’t have hard evidence or anything. But I kinda don’t completely discount ghosts anymore, either.

From your description, it sounds like the house is almost certainly not haunted. The biggest clue is that ghosts aren’t real.
But do we know that for sure? Do we know for a fact that everything everyone has ever found has been 100% fake?

Yes. There are no fairies, ghosts, ghouls, goblins, vampires, or zombies. It’s all make believe.
No one in the history of the world has and provided proof.
So what you’re saying is I’m in the clear.

This sounds like something a ghost would say. Nice try.

Get a cat and then you can mentally attribute all strange noises and mysteriously relocated objects to said cat
Well, comming from Europe sadly most old houses are neither cheap or haunted:(

I don’t actually believe it is haunted at all, but this house IS also suspiciously cheap and over 200 years old.
