The Most Common Paranormal Experiences

There are many different types of paranormal experiences that I regularly hear about from clients. The most common are: footsteps, knocking, voices, cold spots, sense of presence, an atmosphere and distinctive smells.

These activities are not always proven evidence, but equally common misunderstandings that turn out to be something explainable.

Below is a closer look at these frequently reported experiences.

Footsteps
Hearing strange sounds that can not be accounted for is by far the most common reported type of paranormal activity. Footsteps with no source come up in many cases that I investigate, and 8 times out of 10 they are on a staircase or in the room or attic above with no one else in the property. Often the footsteps follow a path or stop at a particular doorway.

Knocking
Knocking, banging or tapping noises are also another very common reported issue, of course there are many things it could be, but this all changes when the knocking is responsive or repeats an intelligent pattern.

Voices
Whispering, voices, child’s giggle, singing and someone’s name being called from an empty room or hallway are also regularly reported. Voices can be one of the most frightening of the popular paranormal activities.

Cold spots
Cold spots are the most common type of physical experience. A entire room or a small area of it that feels distinctly colder than the rest of the house. This can be worth looking into when it moves around the property or is felt by more than one individual.

Sense of Presence
Feeling a sense of presence or feeling like you are being watched is not a nice feeling in your own home. People describe it like someone is standing in a doorway or on the landing or particular part of a hallway. Sometimes this can feel like someone is walking into the room while you are sitting there or perhaps busy cooking. You know or feel someone walk in, but there is no one there.

Distinctive Smells
Smells can be a great way detect paranormal activity. In the real world I have very little sense of smell, but in the paranormal world my sense of smell is amazing. Perfume, burning wood and tobacco are the most common things detected by home owners who don’t recognised the perfume, don’t have an open fire and are non-smokers.

Atmosphere
Atmospheric and emotional experiences are more complex, but typically someone walking into a room and feeling dread, sadness or grief is often the case. The room can feel very heavy and intense and people normally feel they have to leave that space.
