How to Live in a Haunted House

Steps

1. First of all take a well built guard dog like German shepherd with you into the house.......bcoz dogs easily detect the presence of the spirits.It will be daring to you also with the dog.
   
2. Before moving anything into the house, walk through the entire place. Doing this will give the ghost(s) a chance to scope you out, and accept your presence in 'their' home.
   
3. Before moving all of your stuff into the place, move in as few items as possible at first. This will avoid riling the ghost(s) to the changes going on during the transition from former occupants.
   
4. While moving furniture or other objects in, be alert for any feelings you may have about where an item should be placed. If you can make a ghost happy by placing a chair in a particular place, it could save you lots of trouble later on.
   
5. Try to relate to the ghost by talking about what life may have been like in the house (if it is an old house), and try to do something former residents would have done in the house while they lived there, like eating some meals in a formal dining room, or listening to period music from the time the house was built.
   
6. Try to talk about big events that would have happened while past owners would have been living there. For example, on October 29 of a year, try to talk about how past residents would have felt about the stock market crash and the beginning of the Great Depression (if the house is old enough).
   
7. If you feel the ghost is staying in one particular place, avoid the area. Try using the room as a storage area and leave the ghost alone.
   
8. Try to spend a night in the place. Some ghosts try to communicate with the living through dreams. Allowing the ghost to get its message to the living may put an end to the haunting and send the ghost on its way.
   
9. Accept the ghost. While this may be difficult for some to do, most ghosts will leave you alone if you acknowledge their presence.
   
10. Talk to the ghost. Let it know it is welcome to stay if it leaves you and your family alone.
    
11. If the ghost does something scary, let it know you are upset, and that if such behavior continues it will not be tolerated.
    
12. Repeat the terms: Nadi Miki Walli three times, turn around COUNTERCLOCKWISE eleven times, and flicker the lights eight times. This is a process to help the ghosts move on past their earthly domain.
    

Tips

• Before doing big remodeling projects in a house, talk about it in advance so the resident ghosts know what is going to happen. Suddenly tearing down walls and changing a floorplan may make a happy ghost into an angry ghost.
  
• If you can, see about including some period furnishings or art in the house.
  
• Try to cook/prepare period meals that were popular in the past.
  
• If you are raising children in an old house, think about how former parents in the house may have dealt with similar situations.
  

Warnings

• Never open yourself up completely to any ghost, since you never know their true intentions. If the situation is too much for you to handle, seek professional help.
