Do You Have A Room In Your House That Gives You The Creeps?

I also never cared to be alone in the family room of my parents house. We moved there when I was 15 and even 15 years later I will not look into that room as I come down the stairs. There is a huge mirror on the wall in the family room that reflects the back deck and one night I did glance over at the mirror as I was coming down the stairs and I swear for a split second I saw a middle aged man in a gray suit standing by the sliding glass doors. Inside the room. :eek:
 
Not in my current house, but the house I grew up in I was afraid of the front stairwell. We used to hear a child crying down there in the dead of night. :confused3 The attic also creeped me out, but I didn't have reason to go up there often. The house was built in the 1880's and it was huge. The attic was the old servants quarters, so it looked like a small old-fashioned apartment. Seriously creepy.
 
Family once let the three of us stay in an aunt's house for a short while when we were relocating. The lady had died the previous year and he house was just sitting empty for all of that time.

I never wanted to sleep in her huge bedroom for some reason and slept with the baby in a tiny bedroom instead. DH scoffed at me but he slept on the couch every night for some reason!
 
Our next-door neighbors house is nearly identical to ours in layout (post-war brick Georgian) and their house is creepy. Maybe because one of the previous owners chased her husband up the basement stairs, through the kitchen, dining room, living room, up the main stairs to the bedrooms - the entire time shooting at him. There are still two places in the woodwork where it was chipped by a bullet. She finally did him in in the big bedroom. Creepy.

In various belief systems, like quantum physics, Native American, Wiccan, Asian, etc., the houses, places, clothing, items can retain the energetic imprint of previous owners, or of strong events that happened there.

Those places need a good energetic cleansing.

I could never live in a place where someone got murdered. :scared1: No way would I stay in the Lizzie Borden House. :scared: I don't think there is enough cleansing possible in places like that! Or accidentally building a house over an old burial ground, like in the movie, Poltergeist.
 

Not in this house. In our house back in Missouri, there was a large closet in the basement that led to the crawl space and I would get the chills sometimes going in there. Growing up it was my Mom's room. I would walk by even in the daytime and see flashes of the girl from the Exorcist sitting in her bed.:scared1:


Oh god that would have given me a heart attack! That movie scared me so bad it gave me nightmares.
 
We had a attic in our old house. I hated to be there alone. At our current place, I hate being in the front hallway (two story aparment). Probally dosent help that I know the former downstairs resident died in the living room right near the hallway.
 
I am SO SORRY I READ THIS THREAD!!!!! I am TOTALLY CREEPED OUT NOW!!!! I kept saying that I would stop reading and just respond, but I HAD to read it, and now I have the creeps! :sad2:

No room in my house totally creeps me out, but I don't like hanging out in my basement. I guess I think I'm going to find a leak or something or hear a noise that will end up costing me a million dollars to fix. (yes, I know I'm crazy)
 
Not in my house but there is a room at my moms house that gives me the heebie jeebies. The wife of the former owner commited suicide in the house; my mom does not know which room and doesn't care. Me, I am convinced it happened in the downstairs bathroom. That room just gives me the willies. I would rather "hold it" then go to the bathroom in there!
 
Blame everything on the dog or cat. Works wonders for me lol

Myst
 
My mother's basement freaks me out. That's the only room I've ever gotten the heebie jeebies in. My parents built the house--it's not haunted or anything. It's just nasty with the occasional mouse. My mom was teasing me about it recently and that's when I pointed out to her that I always made DH go down there if there was something needed. I'm 43 years old and still won't go in my mom's basement if I don't absolutely have to. :rotfl:

No rooms in my own house creep me out--the basement is finished so I'm fine there, too.
 
There has always been at least one room in every house I have lived in that was not quite right. The worst was an old victorian home that had a presence. She was not friendly and let her presence be known. I also let her know I did not appreciate her frightening the crap out of me. Another house gave me the creeps next to the fireplace and one spot in the basement (although the basement itself did not creep me out). THe last house we just moved out of had 2 bathrooms side by side. I never liked the last one. I even tried painting the metal fixtures from yellow to white thinking maybe it was just the colors that gave me the strange feeling, but I still disliked the bathroom. Right now we are staying with friends. SO far everything seems right with this house.

How do you talk to a presence if they don't speak your language? :confused:
 
Can't say it's really "creepy," but in my apartment, there's been some activity in the stairway and upper hall area. When I'm in bed, I've heard footsteps on the stairs (this is when the apartment next door was vacant, too), sighing and whispering outside the bedroom door, I've had cold drafts pass behind me on the landing as I'm sitting at the computer...I've distinctly smelled pipe tobacco (I believe that's my grandfather)...it's only really creepy when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I can hear the whispering in the hall (since I live alone, I don't shut the bathroom door).
 
I couldn't talk about this last night because then I wouldn't have slept well. :scared:

None of the houses that dh and I have lived in together have rooms that gave me a bad feeling, but when I was in junior high my family lived in an old house that the owner had died in. Every room in that house was creepy. That old lady was definitely still there! I could feel her when she came into a room. The room would feel fine then suddenly I would have a feeling of being watched and I could feel her in the room. I would have to get out. My sister and I even saw her one day - there was a foggy smoke like cloud coming out from underneath the door of the room that she had died in. Our parents were at work so we ran outside and stayed there until our mom came home from work that night. :scared:

I've gone to friends' houses that had rooms I didn't like being in. I have an aunt that lives in CT, and her house was built in the 1700's. We used to go stay with her during the summer, and her living room always creeped me out. I found out a few years ago that her FIL had died on the couch in there. She still has the couch he died on! :earseek:
 
Our new house doesn't but our old house did. My son always said he saw ghosts in the dining room so that room always freaked me out.
 
We have been the only occupants, so no creepy rooms here.
 
I just finished reading Amityville Horror. It's a true story where this kid killed his parents and siblings and was jailed. This new family moves in and experiences all kinds of creepiness. The house was terrorized by demons and they saw them! :scared1: A very good read but scary.
