Proof Ghosts Are Real - Osvald's Story
During my research for this, I talked to a young guy named Osvald. Osvald has amazing proof that ghosts are real.
His proof starts with a tragedy.
How Osvald’s Parents Died and Became Ghosts
Osvald lost his parents in a freak hot air balloon accident. They died before they were meant to leave this world. Because of this Osvald’s, parents didn’t cross over to the spirit world. Instead, they stayed here to watch over him.
Therefore, ever since this tragedy Osvald’s house has been haunted, LITERALLY!
Osvald said:
“Is my house haunted? Absolutely my house is haunted! But luckily for me, it’s in a good way.”
“My house is haunted by the ghosts of my parents. I know this because I have seen them and heard them. But they don’t scare me. Instead, they protect me.”
He continued, “My parents are friendly ghosts. They are spirits that live with me and look out for me. I am happy they haunt my house.”
I talked with Osvald for a long time about the ghosts of his parents. He told me about how his parents caused the lights to flicker. I heard about the spooky sounds they make. His parents have even appeared to him on many occasions!
It turns out the ghosts of Osvald’s parents display all of the 10 most common ghost signs. His story was more evidence that ghosts are real.
Let’s now dive into the 10 definite signs of a ghost and the science to back it up.

Ready?
Spooky History and Tragic Events
Most haunted houses begin with a strange or spooky past just like in Osvald’s story. Because of this fact, you must learn about the history of your house. You should learn about the previous owners too. Both will help determine if your house is haunted.
The paranormal activity will most likely coincide with something related to:
- Jobs they had [Were they a holy man, fortune teller, or grave digger]
- Tragedies that happened [devastating tornados, plane crashes, or train accidents]
- Is your house built on or near an ancient burial ground?
- Did a witch’s coven once occupy your house?
Any of these might contribute to a spirit of having unfinished business in your house. This could be why your house is haunted.
Get online and search your address. Look for strange events.
Maybe you will find police reports of a blood-curdling scream and missing people. Alternatively, a grave robber may have lived there or someone that collected unusual pets like crows or exotic dangerous creatures like scorpions.
Look for spooky events and tragedies. It could be obvious like someone died in your house? Obituaries would be a great place to find out about that!
How do past events become haunted houses?
Many paranormal experts believe in the Stone Tape Theory which says that scary events can attach to certain physical objects. These events can become permanent “stains” on the object. Just like if you spill red wine on a white carpet.
When the tragedy happens on a particularly spooky day like Haloween or Friday the 13th then the “stain” on the object is even more obvious.
What does this mean for your house?
If your house is the “stained” object then there is a real chance it is haunted.
For example, did your research uncover that witches conjured up a spirit in your house on the night of a full moon?
If you ask me, that’s an event any house will remember!!!
Strange Noises [Ghost sounds]
What was that sound? A baby crying next door or a spirit in the attic?
There are many noises associated with haunted houses. Some are legit while most are made up by Hollywood. These are the familiar sounds ghosts make:
- Wailing banshee shrieking
- BOO!
- Any talking from ghosts
These are made up for the movies. Ghosts cannot make these noises.
oooooOOOOOooooo – A Real Ghost Sound
On the other hand, a true sign your house is haunted is the classic ooooOOOOoooo. And if you hear these scary sounds it means there is more than one ghost!
This is how spirits make scary sounds.
The spooky airy howling type sound is actually an example of multiple ghosts getting together. Think of it as a party for ghosts. The bigger the party the louder the noise.
The wailing sound happens when the ghosts move past each other. The faster they are moving the higher the pitch. The more ghosts there are the more often you will hear the sound.
The science proving this phenomenon is simple.
When 2 ghosts pass each other they create something called “spectral sheer”.
Think about when you push your hand through the water quickly. You see a whirlpool behind your hand, right? It’s like that but different. Imagine the sound a whirlpool would make as it builds. It starts small, builds up loud, then fades away.
That’s where the oooooOOOOOooooo comes from. Pretty cool right?
Unexplainable Temperature Changes
You are sitting watching tv. All of a sudden you get shivers. The whole room feels like it just dropped 10 degrees or more!
Have you ever had this happen to you?
If your house is haunted you will most likely experience random temperature changes. This will happen more obviously when you experience a sudden shift in your mood. For example, if you get scared.
When a person has sudden emotional change energy is given off. Ghosts feed off this energy. As the energy is eaten up it leaves a vacuum behind it. Just like in space this vacuum is very cold. Therefore if a ghost is present when you become scared, angry, or excited you can feel the temperature in the room drop.
If the temperature increases, you are not experiencing a ghost but something much darker and even scarier!
Strange Smell of Unknown Source
If you are like me, you have [or have had] roommates. AND these roommates haven’t always been the cleanest people. I.e. they have made terrible smells!
They have left piles of dirty laundry, stinky moldy food in the back of the fridge, and other weird and wonderful things. All of these things have created horrible smells. But they were all explainable!
If you have a strange smell, and you can’t work out what it is, you might be smelling the presence of a ghost.
Ghosts’ smells are also known as:
- Phantom scents
- Spirit sign
- Odors of the Underworld (I like this one)
The smell left by ghosts can seem familiar however you can’t put a finger on it. So how do you work out if it’s a ghost causing the smell?
- Can you find the source? The first thing you must do is eliminate all “this world” smells. Check the common areas that could be the source. Fridges, mudrooms, and laundry areas are places it could be coming from. If you have no luck here move to step 2.
- Follow your nose. Close all the windows, let the air settle, then follow your nose. You may find the scent takes you in several different directions. The smell may end at a physical barrier like a wall.
The different directions you smell could be paths that your ghost has recently taken. The fact the scent ends at a wall could be the ghost exiting the room at this point.
One more thing to consider. Is the distinct smell much stringer as it passes through the wall? If yes then this is a very strong sign that the smell is coming from a ghost. AND THIS IS WHY!
This is an extension of the Stone Tape Theory. As the ghost passes through the wall it leaves an impression on it. In this case, it is an odor.
What do ghosts smell like?
Do not be fooled into thinking a ghost smells one way or another. The key here is performing an extensive search to work out if the smell is from this world. It is not from this world then there is a really high chance it is from the other side.
One last point: If you have just changed your medications be sure to ask your doctor if it can change your smell. You don’t want to be fooled into thinking your house is haunted when instead it’s because you are taking a different pill.
Your Phone Never Charges Properly
Have you ever plugged your phone in, come back later, only to find it hasn’t changed at all? I know I have!
And I am not talking about an old phone or one you dropped in the water. And maybe it’s not just your phone.
Have you noticed the same happening with your laptop, electric toothbrush, or any other electronic device?
Electronic devices not charging are a positive sign that your house is haunted. There are 2 main explanations for this.
The first reason electronic devices may not be charging is that you have a ghost that likes to play tricks on you. Just like a little brother or sister might do. AND just for the same reason a sibling or friend would prank you, the ghost living in your house, thinks it is funny.
The second reason devices don’t charge properly in haunted houses is because ghosts can draw energy from the charging device. When electricity moves through the cord to charge your phone a magnetic force is created around the cord. The ghost uses this magnetic field to move.
Think about when you have 2 magnets and you try to push the 2 positive ends together. What happens?
The magnets move away from one another. This is how a ghost can propel itself forward too! And the more they use your charging device to move around the less it will charge.
SO, because the ghosts use the energy to move around it doesn’t get to your phone. Because of this, the phone doesn’t charge
Make sense?
Someone or Something is Watching You
Have you ever had an uneasy feeling that you are being watched? Even if you are in a room without any windows?
Of course, if you are James Bond or some other mega secret agent it could be the Russians or Dr. Evil.
If you are a normal person, like me, it may be that you are being watched by the ghost that lives in your house.
Ghosts, by nature, are curious beings. They also like to interact with people that they trust. Therefore if you think your house is haunted and you often feel like you are being watched remember this.
The stronger sense you get, the more the ghost trusts you. The more they trust you the harder they try to communicate with you.
It is while they try to communicate that you will get this unnerving feeling. This is really exciting because in short, the ghost wants to be your friend.
Vivid Dreams [That are Particularly Familiar]
Ghosts can most easily communicate with us during REM sleep. It is during this deep sleep that the barrier between this world and the spirit world is most easily crossed. Therefore if your house is haunted and the ghost wants to talk to you you may experience vivid dreams.
Ghost dreams often repeat. This is because the ghost will try to say the same thing over and over until it sees you respond in a way that shows you understand.
The dreams may be a warning. The dreams may be them telling you a story.
If the dreams seem particularly familiar then the ghost may be someone that you knew. This type of ghost is trying to have a conversation with you about things you did together in the past.
Keys Are Lost or Furniture is Moved
You know that you just put your keys on the table but now they are gone.
Either you need to slow down and concentrate or your house is haunted by a ghost that likes to hide things from you. You don’t need to be afraid of this type of spirit. They are just want to play. Know if this game of hide and seek changes to things being tossed at you then you may need to be more careful.
If the furniture is being moved during the night there is a good chance the ghost in your house used to be an interior designer. This spirit is not trying to prank you but instead is offering its services. They are trying to show you a better layout for your bedroom or living room.
Not long ago, my friend was selling a house. She had it staged professionally. While it looked great it lacked a certain flow. The house was also previously owned by a famous designer. She left the property one night to think about how she could alter the layout to make it more appealing. When she came back the next morning the furniture had been moved subtlely.
“I called the staging company” and they insisted they had not been to the house. PLUS, the alarm had not been turned off. So i know no one had been there. This was proof to me the house was haunted! I promptly called my realtor to update my real estate disclosures!”
Flickering Lights [It's Caused by Spectral Radiation]
If you think your house is haunted then let me ask you this…
Do you have flickering lights?
AND this becomes even more relevant if you know that your electrical system is upgraded or new and there are no loose wires.
The reason that lights flicker in haunted houses is because ghosts create a sort of radiation as they move around your house. This is called “spectral radiation”.
Spectral radiation interrupts the flow of electricity as it moves through the wire to the light bulb. It is this interruption of electricity that causes the lights to flicker.
You will notice more flickering when the ghosts are more active. This is because when they move faster they put out more radiation. Larger ghosts will put out more radiation.
For example, watch the movie ghostbusters. When the marshmallow man starts moving about the city you will see the lights turn off in large amounts. Plus because of the extreme levels of spectral radiation, you will also see light bulbs and transformers exploding.
Your Pet Floating Around the Room! [Levitation of Anything]
Can you imagine seeing your pet cat or dog floating around the room? Maybe it’s a piece of furniture?
If you are really lucky it might even be you!
If you see this spectacular thing then your house is absolutely haunted!
Levitation (floating) events are extremely rare. You may see a physical item floating around. OR more commonly the thing that you see levitating is the ghost itself.
It is reasonably easy for a ghost to float because it has no physical makeup as we know. It doesn’t weigh anything. It is lighter than the air just like a helium balloon.
It is much harder for a ghost to lift a physical object from our world like your pet. A ghost that can do this is an extremely experienced ghost. Thye have practiced making things float a lot!
You don’t need to be worried if the floating objects stay harmlessly away from you. This is just another way the ghost s trying to talk to you.
You should be particularly scared if a chair or some other thing is thrown at you. This means they don’t want you in the house. This means the spirit has claimed the house as their own.
In this scenario, you may need professional help to get rid of the ghost.
You Saw The Ghost [Yip, Your House is Haunted!]
The most obvious sign your house is haunted is to see the ghost. A ghost can look like many different things.
Most often it will take the appearance of what it looked like before it died. If the ghost is of your mother then it will look like your mother. If it is the ghost of a loved pet then there is a good chance it will look like that.
The intensity at which the ghost appears can vary. It may be a whispy shadowy spirit or an easily identifiable being.
The stronger the showing the harder the ghost is trying to communicate with you. It is at this point that you can decide to try and communicate with the ghost.
Is it safe to talk to a ghost?
If there have been no other signs to suggest the spirit is trying to hurt you it would be pretty safe to try and communicate with it.
