About William Uchtman
Expertise
I`ve been reading books about ghosts for a long time and have seen numerous movies about them as well. I can point out what is more likely, what is unlikely and site true examples from the subject. I have also been writing fictional ghost stories off and on since high school. I have been keeping a comprehensive listing of haunted sites for a long time and have visited a few local haunted sites in my area. I do not consider myself a ghost hunter or ghost researcher. I have no college or univerity training in the subject, but I have postulated a few personal theories about the phenomenon. I recently published the book, "Volunteer Ghosts," about ghosts in Tennessee. Another thing, because ghost shows are becoming so popular, I'm getting deluged with messages from people thinking they have ghosts. Please try to bust your own experiences before asking me about them. So many people who believe in ghosts and experience things want proof so much that they are coming to me for answers. Please check your grammar and proofread your messages too. I can't understand what you're asking if your questions aren't legibly precise. Don't make me try to decipher your message. Keep your messages short and to the point! I do not know anything about demonology; no questions about evil spirits or possession. That has nothing to do with ghosts or haunted houses.

Paranormal Phenomena - Is my house haunted?

Expert: William Uchtman - 10/21/2009

Question
Shortly after moving into my house I had strange happenings. It started by seeing a sort of swirling mist in my kitchen and hallway. My son who was 2 at the time would ask something that I couldn't see to hold him. I have had a light bulb explode when the fixture was turned off. I like to leave my blinds open in my living room open, but when I leave and come back they are almost always closed. They never open mysteriously. Recently on 2 occasions there was a very distinct knocking on the bathroom door when I was home alone. Last night after I laid down in bed and turned the tv off there was an extremely loud bad on my headboard. I also seem to get headaches just before these things happen.

Answer
Any one of these things alone typically does not mean a haunted house. I assume it is just you and your son? You do not have a husband or relative with a key? Have you had anyone else remark on seeing things?
I don't think I can accurately answer this question without being biased. I think what you need is someone more trained in field work which I am not. Like I tell a lot of people, check out the TAPS/Ghosthunters website which lists groups they are connected with. They can better answer your questions than I can, but off-hand, I think you have a spirit, but you could be attributing too much to it.
Contact me back if you have more to add.
