I live in an extremely haunted house. You may think either a house is haunted or it isn’t. Not so! I’ve lived in a few haunted houses in my day, and this house is extremely haunted. Here’s how the truth unraveled:
When I looked at the house before deciding to purchase it, the realtor seemed reluctant to even take me to the dilapidated second floor, referring to it as an “attic”. Yet it had a large sitting room and two bedrooms. It was in a bad state of disrepair though, and the vibe wasn’t so pleasant. I assumed it was the water damaged ceiling and walls falling down that was causing it the icky feeling. It was an icky space. I thought this would be a good project and fixing it up would make all the bad vibes feel so much better. Wrong.
The renter that was living in the downstairs at the time said she had a friend that wouldn’t go up there again because she had a “bad feeling” about what was up there. I still managed to convince myself it was just the decrepit state of affairs up there causing that feeling. You’d think that I, of all people (being a medium), could differentiate.
I bought the house and started moving in. It was my first home purchase. I was on my own.
The first week I lived here, I maybe should have stopped unpacking, repacked and moved on. I chose to stay and it has been an adventure, to say the least, ever since. At first, the experiences were relatively benign and I hadn’t actually seen any ghosts, just the remnants of their activities.
For instance, I would come home from work to find every single light on in the house. That’s including the “attic” and basement/cellar. Two places I never visited. On a few other occasions, I’d come home to find, in January mind you, every window in the house wide open, again, including the “attic”. On these occasions, I did call the local police department to come to check things out. After all, I was a young girl living alone. Of course, nothing ever turned up. I did have an alarm system installed as a precaution though. And frequently, the motion sensors in the system would go off. Even after the alarm company testing and replacing things, could never find a reason for the alarms. I eventually just had it disconnected.
At this point, I was pretty certain about what was going on here.
Then the whistling started. Oh my god, the incessant whistling! I could hear someone walking from room to room, day in and day out, whistling. For weeks, maybe months, it drove me crazy. Really? No one hears that? Come on! Seriously, someone else has to hear that!
You may remember, at this point, I was terrified to talk to them, so I just took it as long as I could. Then one day, I just broke. I screamed out loud, “SHUT UP!” It stopped. Silence.
Aaahhh… It was just that easy. Why did I wait so long to do that?
I love a little validation, so here it is: A coworker of mine at the time was talking about her aunt and uncle’s house from her childhood. Then she stopped and looked at me and stated that they used to live in the house I live in now. Really? I became even more interested. She was saying that her aunt and uncle loved to have all the kids over and her uncle would usually just pace while watching over them and whistle little tunes the entire time. I told her he still did.

well aside from the electricity and heat bill, do you still want to stay? i guess you know who whistles now so i hope your not freaked so bad! great story jamie!! keep us updated on your experiences k? i love these kinds of stories!!!!
OMG, that is freaky,I grew up in a haunted house and could feel the ghost when they were following me, I yelled at them too, but they never stopped. It’s one thing to know that they’re there but to actually hear them whistling like you did…………………..goosebumps!!
Jamie,
Great story! the good news is that they don’t seem malevolent. Are you planning on staying?
You better leave the house girl or i didn’t hurt you right but it did costs you your sleep your money and some other things so i say better leave the house you say you live alone safety is IMPORTANT.
Hai darstarr and karen sweeties am i right about this story???
Manik,
That is a tough one. It doesn’t seem to be a bad spirit…..yet. That is the tricky part, if it is just an earthbound soul and doesn’t mean any harm she should tell it to move on. But what if it is something dark and evil?
That is is toughie!
Hi Jamie – thanks for the great story. The best part is when you yelled “shut up”! LOL. And all of a sudden it stopped. That’s funny. Small world we live in for you to come to find out that your co-worker’s family used to live in that same house, and her uncle used to whistle all the time and still does! Eeeky freaky! You’re a brave one, though he seems quite harmless, and I hope he lets you sleep in peace.
Hi Jamie,
You’re very brave! If it was me living in a haunted house and experiencing that kind of stuff, I would have told my hubby to pack the bags and the cat, and we’re out of here…LOL! Very scary story! Thank you for sharing.
thats scary do u still live in that house today if u do u r brave
Jamie, i think the reason it shut up is, you didnt show it any fear when you told it to shut up…. i have been through a lifetime of hauntings and such, and you finally get enough, thats when you stand up to it….. i have many times said,, just go away, or leave me alone, in a very strong voice.. a person can only take so much….
maybe thats the trick in some cases,, just stand up to it,,, but,, in your heart, you really have to be fed up with it, and mean what you say.. i hope it worked for you!!!! the windows open and the lights on can be very costly….. some of these ghosts have a very silly sence of humor, but not funny to us….
take care hun,,,, let us know if anything else happens,,,,, ktm
Thanks for the comments and concerns everyone! I actually moved into this house almost 12 years ago. I no longer live alone as I have gotten married and had 2 kiddos. Over the years we’ve had so many different spirits come in and out. It’s like a revolving door for ghosts here! Me and both of my kids are natural mediums, so it’s not always the house…it’s usually us. So, moving has never helped before. The majority of our “guests” are friendly or at least harmless. The ones that were nasty, we have sent on their way by whatever means necessary. We’re pretty used to it. I’ve kept a pretty extensive chronicle of our adventures here. I’ll be sure to submit more!
That is nice actually. The memory of them.
