My Haunted House

The home is an antebellum plantation home built in the early 1800s. It has exchanged hands 3 times until my family got it in the 1840s. They have held it ever since. I have experienced quite a few strange things and will list as many as I can remember.
 
My father, great grandfather, and friends all were sitting around a table for lunch one morning and his cook was talking about how the "haints" were good haints and didn't bother anybody. As she was talking about it the lunch table lifted up off of the ground and slammed down hard. She bolted.

My dad and his friends were shocked and someone asked, "What the fuck was that?"

My great grandfather grabbed his plate and pulled it back from where it had slid away and continued to eat. "It's just the haints," he said.
 
The "shadow out of the corner of your eye" thing is so common I don't even think about it anymore but tonight was different. I got out of the shower and saw someone take 2 steps into the room, blinked and they were gone. I thought it was one of my parents who were here for a visit but no one was there.

Fratty and out of touch.
That would definitely creep me out. Has the paranormal activity in the house ever been formally investigated?

Sounds like a very nice place, and the haints is just a bonus. My place was built in 1927 and the garage was built in 1920, and it has its own haints as well, and i must admit its strange to be passionately kissed while your face is all lathered up in soap during a shower, and being the only one home. i think there is 7 here, only going by a evp that i did.
 
When we had cattle there was a man who watched over them for us when we were away. He saw a black man with a white shirt and brown pants walking through the field among the cows. From a distance he looked like another man who has helped us out in the past so he rode over and unlocked the gate. When he got to the field he could not see anyone, only cows. It was then he realized the gate should've been unlocked if someone was there and he left quickly.

Do you believe the entity is friendly? Do you wish it to remain? And have you tried to ask it to move on to the light that awaits us all?

When we pass on we create our own light, I do not recommend anyone pass into a light they see...

Very perceptive. I do not fear death. The wheel turns. But some sprits refuse to let go. But those we lost will be returned to us. The form may change but nothing is lost. My husband is fond of this. I believe it was Einstein. "matter can not be destroyed only changed." now think on that in regard to death.

Here's another one that is pretty common and in fact happened a few minutes ago.

If you look at the old stairwell you'll see someone going up the stairs or going down the stairs. It alternates throughout the day. It's usually a silhouette and not a physical form. Most of the time it's out of the corner of your eye but occasionally you see it if you look in the doorway.

shadow People!
Echo's, memories locked in time in your house. they are not good or evil. they just are! Coalesced emotions. That have collected over time. Imprinted into psychic space. they are memories locked in time.
the shadows going up and down stairs are simply memories trapped in the house.
While they can be removed simply.(even an initiate such as my daughter can remove one.) the house will never feel right again.
My advice if poltergeist activity is not present then just note it and live with the entity's. Do not harm them they will not harm you.
Blessed be

There is nothing negative about them. I had a run in with a negative shadow entity as a child and it caused me fear. These do not.

Not all shadow beings are the same and not all are from the same source...

Once again a very perceptive observation.
This is true. In your case the dark malevolent Shadow beings are not in your home. If you had them I would recommend you find a place to stay until the place is cleared out. What you have is echo's. Frozen memories Like a movie stuck on an Infinite loop. The shadow people are indeed harmless. they are a part of what makes your house a home. Unlike Nightmare hags or Ultraterrestrials The Phenomena is just Memories. Welcome them.

I lived in my grandparents' old house from 2006-2011. My grandparents built the house in 1953 and lived there until their deaths in 1985 and 2006. I always thought I would experience something of a haunting, even if it was just a weird feeling that I was not alone. But, I never did and the current renters who live there have no complaints. I wonder if I am just not perceptive enough to pick up on a haunting? Or, my grandparents have no need to haunt the place? The house sits on land that has been in the family over 200 years, yet there is no family lore about hauntings. Maybe we just don't pay close enough attention or my ancestral spirits have other things to do, I don't know.
 
The other night I awoke to footsteps on the front porch. I took a few seconds and when it continued I grabbed my rifle (I sleep with an AR-15 next to the bed) and turned on the laser. I cleared the porch, then the entire rest of the house and locked the door before going back to bed.
