Buying (or selling) a home can be an arduous process – but what happens if you uncover a nasty secret after securing your dream property?. We’re not talking about damp, mould or subsidence here, but paranormal activity. And while many might not believe in ghosts, Reddit is inundated with posts from new homeowners who have accidentally moved into a haunted house.

The fiancé of one first-time buyer had a number of spooky experiences while renovating their home a few doors down from a graveyard. They were never warned about any unsettled spirits by the previous owners. ‘He was coming up the basement stairs three months ago and felt a strong presence behind him. He went to go book it up the stairs and the lights shut off on him,’ @winteralexandria’s post in the r/Paranormal subreddit reads.

‘He turns around while at the top of the steps and from the lights in another room of the basement he saw two shadow figures at the bottom of the steps peeking around the corner.’. Elsewhere, the fridge would often be ‘open and dinging’ whenever he arrived at the house – and a 6ft ladder was moved from one room to the other.

‘He was in the basement and clear as day heard someone walking upstairs, heavy footsteps. He went up and the house is empty,’ the post added. Meanwhile, @Litalonely rented a house that was so spooky they couldn’t use the entire third floor, which was comprised of three bedrooms, two living rooms, and a bathroom.
