Had to dig through a lot of pics to find these two.

Top photo shows the way the hampers are usually kept in the studio - drawers fully closed.

Bottom pic shows the way we discovered them one morning.

One day we found every item in the studio moved into the middle of the floor in a line from one wall to the other - camera tripods, chairs, stools, a heater, dehumidifier, the hampers and a bunch of other things. We'd done a photoshoot the night before and everything had been stowed away as usual where it belonged. Wish I'd taken a photo of that one.

I do see what you are saying, however I would have thought that if there was enough force to open the draws, then it would have been likely for a few things to fall off the top of the draws too.

Isn't it funny that all pictures of ghost, poltergiest, UFOs etc etc always happen to be around when all you have is a camera from 1970 which can shoot nothing but blurry low quality pictures.

After 100 years of this shit it's quite amazing that not a single solid proof exists..

All this kind of shit is in our minds..

One particular time she heard the exact same female voice (in the kitchen) that I'd heard in the third loft office - she described her as saying "Helloooo..." exactly the way I heard it.

Another time she heard a man's voice downstairs and it scared the hell out of her - shook her up quite a bit.

But the majority of things seem to happen when she's not even in the house. And many things have happened when I'm the only one here. I rule out anyone playing pranks for shits 'n giggles.

the third possibility is that you and your family have vivid imaginations and want to believe your home is haunted so you're embellishing things

the paranormal and the existence of God - there's zero evidence for any of it, i can't say it doesn't exist but until I myself see evidence of it i will be suspicious of anybody else who claims it exists until they provide conclusive evidence.

Not nessesarily. If the top there is covered in some kinda rubber or other surface then the stuff up top would be less likely to move. It's not unreasonable that this is an old wooden house too so you can rattle a floor by jumping up and down...

As for the claims of stuff lining up in a line etc are pretty far fetched :)

Wild story. Next time you are along in the house, ask the spirits how you can help them. They are sometimes lost spirits. Being latin and from the bronx, we believe SANTERA, a form of voodoo. Your house might not be the best place to live, depending on their answer. Good luck.

When my wife and I moved to the Midwest, we lived with her Mother while our house was being built. One night I was up late working and heard some noise in the hallway. I figured someone was headed to the bathroom. After a few minutes, I got up to go get some water. When I stepped out into the hallway, I got a strong odor of Aqua Velva. My wife's Grandfather used to shower in that shit. He of course had been deceased for a few years at this point. A couple of hours later I hear walking in the hallway again. I step out into the hallway, and nobody is there. I continue down the hallway and look through the open door that leads downstairs. I see my wife's Grandfather standing at the bottom of the stairs. I chalk it up to being exhausted and go to bed. I get up the next morning, and go to the kitchen to find both my mother in law, and sister in law sitting at the table. I grab a cup of coffee and sit down. As we are talking, my sister in law brings up her Grandfather. My mother in law tears up and tells my sister in law not to worry. She said "Grandpa is fine. He came to see me last night". To this day, I have never said a word about it to my wife, her mother, or sister.

Most of the people who believe in ghosts also believe in God. Ofcourse...

Its crazy the amount of people will claim things like this are going on in their home, but few of them try to prove it or find out whats really going on.

The possibilities in situations like this:
1. Something supernatural
2. Somebody playing a joke or been deceiving
3. Intruder in your home
4. You or somebody in your home are imagining/exaggerating/been silly/been crazy
5. Your lying

But for the past decade our house has been plagued with more unexplained occurrences than I can count.

And not your typical ghostly footsteps, knocks, sounds, etc.

But very different stuff.

All the furniture and items in an entire room re-arranged one time. Hamper drawers pulled out in an unusual pattern. Money that's appeared (twice). A wristwatch that vanished literally from under our noses and then re-appeared a day later on a different floor in a different room. And old coin from the late 1800s (from another country) appeared in the basement.

Female and male voices clearly heard by several family members on separate occasions in various rooms. The wife and daughter have both heard distinct footsteps on the second floor a few times - although I haven't heard this myself.

TVs that plugged themselves in and turned on. A brass lamp that did the same several times (I finally got rid of the lamp after growing tired and annoyed having to turn it off).

A camera mounted securely on a tripod in the studio that moved on its own during a photoshoot (and yet returned to the exact position WITHIN A PIXEL) to the previous frame.

My wife had a stack of newspapers fly up in the air directly in front of her - scared her to the point she left the house and waited on the back porch for me to get home from work before going back in the house.

We had a strange white light appear under a sofa in the studio one night that moved from one end to the other. Unusual perfume-like smells sometimes come and go.

The house is 128 yrs. old and is one of the originals on the street. It's about a hundred yards from the city's original hospital (now converted into a seniors condo residence).

Just curious if anyone else has experienced anything first-hand like this. It's driving me up the wall - as I said I don't believe in the supernatural or paranormal at all. But I'm growing more and more at a loss to explain much of this.
