Is it normal to not believe in ghosts but still think that my house is haunted?

I actually feel qualified to answer this one, for once. I don't believe in ghosts either. I live alone in an old, converted church and for the first three months here, strange things happened. Candles got knocked over, I had the sensation of a presence, doors opened and closed by themself. There were noises, strange changes in temperature. If I got a takeaway, the delivery driver more often than not commented that it's "spooky" when they got inside. Certain delivery drivers who've been here before refuse to come in for a second time - I still have to go outside and across the street to collect my meal from their car.

There was one night in particular. I'm not going to tell you what happened because I don't want to freak you out any more than you already are doing. But something happened that made me resolve to leave in the morning and never come back. In the morning, I still felt very ill at ease but I generally refuse to be forced into something I don't want to do.

I resolved instead to look for patterns in when things happened. As I said, I don't believe in ghosts but there's nothing to say my beliefs are actual fact. Within months, I'd spotted definite patterns. If I spoke about the issues on the phone to someone while in the church, or if I lit candles, then I could expect something to happen (generally the same day). I stopped doing both of those things and the problems went away completely.

Although I still don't believe in ghosts, I have a huge cellar which used to be the catacombs of the church. To get down there I have to lift a floor panel and then walk down old, stone steps. In all the time I've lived here, I've never lifted that panel and I refuse to go down there. Maybe one day? After all, it no longer gives me a shock that the first thing I see every morning when waking up is four gargoyles looking through my roof-windows at me.

I'm not suggesting ghosts exist. For me or for you. But whether my problems were spiritual, psychosomatic or whether there's some scientific basis that I have yet to identify, I found a solution by analysing them and avoiding certain behaviours. I'm not sure this will work for you but it's worth a try as it really did work for me.

To tell you the truth, if you keep believeing in these "ghosts" it will ruin you psychologically and mentally. I used to believe in that bullsh** (sorry!) and I went off cutting myself, and self destruction.. Anti depressants never worked. RELAX! I reliezed I was being an IMBOSEL. I was wrong to believe in such nonsense. Relax, if "ghosts" exists wouldn't they attack everyone? Take a chill pill...

If you don't believe in ghosts, you certainly shouldn't think your house is haunted. However, I understand what you're going through, having lived my entire life with the kinds of experiences you're describing. I can't tell you what I think it is since I'm not there myself, but certainly look for logical explanations and try to keep calm. I know the unknown can be startling, but if you don't believe it's ghosts, then ask yourself "what could do this?" and try to figure it out. Once you figure out why something's happening, it'll make you feel better.

That's so normal
I have seen and talked to demons not ghosts
You will just get use to them and you will never feel scared
A bit of advice, don't freak otherwise, they will keep following you
I'm telling you from experience

You don't feel safe in your own household for some reason and you tend to be sloppy because you are constantly on edge.The birthday cards got blown away by the wind as you were passing by,creating a flow of air.Or coming in from the window. The portraits were probably hanging by a badly inserted nail or something.And the glass didn't shatter because they weren't high enough,they weren't heavy enough,and they didn't fell down the right way.I mean,come on!Are you people retarded or something?Your dog was barking because he felt a sudden change in your moods.Everything affecting you affects it as well.Don't get fooled.There are people who play on those delusional beliefs.And the goal might be:Ruining your life,or get you to leave the house,or basically make you become "more cooperative" out of fear of having lost your mind. Always think about chemical and phisical processes before starting to think about "ghosts" or any other kind of spiritual nonsense.
