Haunted Houses: Can Non-living Objects Seem Alive?

People who experience haunting type phenomena always wonder why they were chosen to be haunted. Sometimes the answer is apparent. In some cases, the victims moved into a house that had some history with it. Everyone knows that houses can be haunted. So too can land. There may have been a tragedy filled house on the property at one time. In that case, even though the house is no longer there, the spirits still are. They may well stay there forever, if they so choose and no one helps them cross over.

Sometimes an investigation will reveal some action on the part of the victim that brought the haunting on. It might have been because of occult practices or some form of evil act or behavior. However, in other cases, there seems to be no logical reason for the haunting. Granted, it is impossible to know everything about a piece of land or even in some cases, a house. Something could well have happened many years ago that no one knows about. It certainly does happen. Every once in a while, you will come across those who seem to have problems wherever they go. Sometimes that is due to their having strong psychic abilities and they become a magnet for spirits. In other cases, the people themselves are haunted.

There are many ghost stories that involve non-living objects that seem to be alive. These cases usually involve a personal object such as jewelry or a doll. The people began noticing that the objects are not always in the same place that they were left. The people don't actually see the objects move, but they know that the objects are moving when they are not around.

Either a very powerful spirit or a demon conducts this type of ghostly activity. They move the objects to give the impression that the objects are themselves alive or possessed. Spirits cannot possess non-living objects. This is a common spirit trick to fool the living into giving the objects recognition. Recognition equals power for the spirit.
