Again, this is different from what I usually do. This is to help people tell if they are really haunted.

1. Unexplained Noises

Like footsteps, knocks, banging, scratching sounds, sounds of something being dropped. These sounds can be really soft or really loud. You can also hear screaming, rarely.

2. Things Opening and Closing

Normally not seen but usually heard, or found open after you close them

3. Lights Turning On and Off

Self Explanatory. 

4. DOP = Disappearing Object Phenomena

Also known as the DOPler Effect. Not being able to find a regularly used item

5. Unexplained Shadows

The sighting of fleeting shapes and shadows, usually seen out of the corner of the eye. BUT most of the time your brain fills in the missing information of the corner of your eye.

6. Strange Animal Behavior

This could be an animal or pet barking at nothing or acting strange like clawing at the door.

7. Feeling of Being Watched

Not uncommon but usually associated with ghosts if it occurs in the same room.

8. Mild Psychokinetic Phenomena

Actually seeing a door close, lights turn on and off, a TV or radio turn on by itself.

9. Feeling of Being Touched

Like a brush, push or shove even being blown on

10. Cries and Whispers (and Sometimes Can Be Screaming)

On occasion, muffled voices, whispering and crying can be heard. Sometimes it’s music from some unknown source. People hear their names being said.

11. Hot or Cold Spots

An instance where there is a notable drop in temp.

12. Unexplained Smells

Smelling perfume or cologne you do not own, or the smell of food.

13. Moving or Levitating Objects

Dinner plates sliding across the table, pictures flying off walls, doors slamming shut with great force, furniture sliding across the floor, etc.

14. Physical Assault

Scratched, pushes and hard shoves. Very rare but highly disturbing.

15. Physical Evidence

Unexplained writing on walls or on paper, handprints or footprints.

16. Apparitions

Very rare. Where a spirit takes the form of mist human-shaped mists or even as clear as a living person.

17. Cuts, scratches, bruises, etc.

Getting cuts, scratches, bruises, etc. on arms legs and other parts of the body.

If you have more than half of these signs you may be haunted.
