Is my House Haunted?

by Olivia
(Altoona PA)

Okay so I live in Altoona PA and I've lived in this house for all 13 years of my life (except for when I'm at my mothers home.) Anyway, so I've heard some strange things from my attic. When I was little around the age of five or six maybe I got in trouble and was sent to my room for the night. When I got up stairs I stopped at the bathroom, and when I was doing my business I heard a very loud thud come from my attic I got very scared and ran downstairs to my mother.

I also remember when I was younger, standing in my mud room, in my footy pajamas, starring at the corner and listening to a male voice call my name. If I'm not mistaken, there was a Female voice too. This happened on several occasions.

The reason I am out asking now is because last night I was in my room about to go to sleep, when I heard a familiar thud coming from my upstairs attic. I have not had any other encounters besides that from when I was little.

My ten year old brother has also had some encounters but I am not sure if he is telling the truth or not. My brother has beads hanging from the post of his bed supporting his school colors. He said that one night that they shook as if a strong breeze had blown them. But his window was closed and he does not have an air conditioner in his room. He also claims that when he was little, my uncle had come over for a visit and he had asked for tap water. My brother had went inside to get him some. He said he heard something say his name. When he looked up he saw a tall man looking down at him. Then the man vanished into thin air. Then, very afraid, he ran out of the house screaming that a man was in the house and refused to come back in. If that is true, like I said, I do not know.

My Father and older sister have not said anything about any sort of interaction, so I am not sure that me and my brother are the only ones.

The point of this is that I'm asking for advice. Is my house haunted? Please leave a comment about what you think and why if you have an opinion. Please post soon.

starstarstarstarstar 		haunted house??
by: Rich

Being a Paranormal investigator and looking at alot of places both homes and cemetarys; old roads and so on... you need to find out if anyone has passed away at the house in earlier times or what was on the land before the house was built.... alot of people pass off the sounds in a house as a house settling or a sound echoing in from outside.. Alot of times it a spiritual presence that is causing it... the house might just need a simple blessing in every room which you can actually do yourself or you can have someone else do it..i have done many and have informed other people how to perform them.. if you wanna know anything else or have any questions or if i can be of any assistance; feel free to email me at> warlockdude85@yahoo.com... and by the way; i have a small story on here entitled > The Old Schoolhouse. check it out

Okay i have some more details. So my house often creaks i jus noticed. Also i did ask my sister, Madeline if she thinks the house is haunted. It took her about ten seconds what to say until she finally said "ummm no I don't really think so." and she shares a room with me so I do not think she has heard the thud, I will ask her later. Also, last night we had a halloween and shared his stories with everyone. Then he swore on the good lord's name that it happened (you know how when kids say "I swear to god." they usually mean it.) Soi think he is pretty serious on he topic. Well thats all i have to share thx :]

Thank you patricia for the advise :D this mat be weird, but the topic may be embarassing to bring up to my dad. Also, it is kind of an old house so that may be the explination for the attic sounds. And about my brother. He is 10 so he could be lieing. But to who ever reads this PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR OPINION! Thx :]

Hello Olivia,

It's hard to say if your house is haunted. My advice would be to talk to your parents and see if they have noticed anything strange and tell them of your concerns. There is a lot of houses in Altoona and known for making strange noises.
