How to Talk to a Ghost in Your House

Communication With A Ghost
Disclaimer: If at any time you are reading this and believe that I am describing a ghost that you know personally, rest in peace I am not. All ghost references are purely fictitious.
So you have a ghost in your house and you have found this hub to explain how to talk to it. There are many reasons you may want to communicate with a ghost that lives in your house.
Maybe you are tired of being the SOUL provider of the household. Maybe you want it to stop wasting electricity when it turns on lights and leaves the room. Maybe it’s getting a little old to still be living at home with you. For whatever reason, you need tips to communicate with your cohabiting ghost. Here are some pointers to keep in mind:
Timing:
Ghosts can be really tough to talk to because of scheduling issues. Most ghosts have to work the graveyard shift. You may only see each other real late at night when you’re both too tired to talk. The scene usually plays out like this: You get up in the middle of the night to pee and look in the mirror as you wash your hands. You see each other, but you are both stunned speechless. This is not a good time to talk. If you are both tired you will not get anywhere. In this case choose a better time to approach your ghost.
And don’t do it right when you’ve caught your ghost doing something that makes you angry. You may say things you don’t really mean and your ghost may reciprocate with more escalation.
Stay Assertive:
Some ghosts, such as Casper, may be friendly and easy to talk to. Your ghost may be different. In this case you will need to exorcise assertive communication. Whether your ghost is aggressive, passive-aggressive, passive, or just passed away, assertiveness will help you keep the interaction active, cooperative, and goal oriented.
Tips for Commmunicating with a Ghost:
- Communicate confidence with your body language.
- Don’t let your ghost spook you. Most ghosts aren't trying to be monsters.
- Hold your head up.
- Point your shoulders toward your ghost.
- Keep good eye contact.
- Remember to actively listen.
- Use “I” statements in order to avoid arguments. For example, “I want to conserve electricity and would appreciate if you turn the lights off when you leave a room.” This works much better than, “you pale son of a witch, you’re always leaving the lights on when no BODY is even in the room.”
- Use a formula that starts with empathy and asks for a response. For example, "I am concerned and need to talk to you, I realize you have a busy schedule and work the graveyard shift, when is a good time to talk?"
You can’t make the ghost do anything:
In order to keep your sanity, keep in mind that most ghosts are free spirits. If you attempt assertive communication with your ghost and all he keeps saying is “boo,” remember that you cannot change him. He must be willing to change. Your ghost may not even be willing to take form, which makes communication especially difficult. If your ghost won’t talk, you can’t make him.
Finally, if your ghost is abusive set boundaries and get help from a FIEND you trust. No one should put up with a ghost that HOVERS over everything you do or attempts to control you by threatening you or scaring you. No one is a fan of a ghost that says boo too often, so just say boo to booers.
Hopefully the tips I have provided will help you communicate with the ghost that lives in your house.

Oh my! We must have the same ghost. I've never see it, but my wife is always telling me those same things. "SOMEBODY keeps drinking the last of the juice..etc" Good thing we don't have kids or a dog that could take the blame. We have a turtle, but she lives in an aquarium and can't jump very high. It must be that pesky ghost.
hello my name is yosef im 11 years old i tellmy parents i see ghost they think im joking they dont take em seriously.I liv in a 59 year old house wich a old man and woman died in they live upstairs.PLEEZ HELP ME I HATE THEM ONCE I GOT ANGRY AND I TRIED TO PUNCH THEM I PUNCHED THE WALL
Yosef,
I am sorry about the ghost in your house. I guess you didn't get that this hub is a joke; or maybe I didn't get your joke. I don't know what you want out of your interaction with the ghost, but it sounds like you are aggressive. Good luck sorting out reality, and good luck learning how to communicate in written form.
Blake, We honestly did have a ghost in our house and I dealt with one when I was young and I never want to deal with them again, however this article is funny and I really enjoyed it1!!:)
LOL I almost want a ghost in my house so I can practise all these great tips, thanks Blake *still laughing*
LOL, I loved this article, really funny, even though I do believe in, and have experienced living with a ghost myself. Couldn't help but giggle over the idea of telling the ghost off for leaving the lights on :) Great Hub
I heard a lot of movements in my backyard last night
that helps people but all i want is a nice ghost living in your house
lmao "If you are both tired you will not get anywhere"

I have a ghost that rattles my door at night. My parents say its the AC but my room doesn't have the AC turned on at night. I know its not just me cause my cat perks her head up at grows at the door all the time. We li in a house that other people lived in. We usually don't do that. Also once I was with my friends and we were going to take a picture of us outside the door and then the door slammed shut and we all ran screaming like girls. I REALLY NEED ADVICE!!!

I sense them as well, i feel a chill when it's 70 degrees every now and then. My parents are starting to beleive me. My moms work and house is haunted (*i live with my grandparents*) and no one lived here before us. What do i do??? please send me an e-mail at mkmiller8@aol.com
i think my house is haunted but im not sure. late at night i hear knocking on my wall. or a bag thats on the floor will move and all the fans are off. my dog stares down the downstairs hallway at night and wont walk down the stairs if the lights are off or if no one is with her. the wierdest thing happened when i was watching a scary movie, the tv channel changed by itself and the remote was in the middle of my bed, not near anybody. even weirder, it changed to channel 6. is there a ghost or can all or this be explained?
also, my friends swears she always sees a shadow go across my closet, and i saw it once myself.
when i was at school today me and my friends can see ghosts and we were so scared because they followed us into our classroom and made markings on our arms and it selled out vacation what does that mean?
i was having a sleepover at my freinds house, when we where trying to sleep and it was pitch black. he claimed his house was haunted, and i never belived him. until we both heard a faint breathing noise, as if breathing a ciggerete. then, we turned on the lights, and there was a knife inbetween both of our beds...
by the way, this is 100% true, no lie. and it happend about a a day ago.

Very funny...thanks!
My ghost just likes to hide my car-keys and drink the last of the orange juice without washing out the container...so I never know we are out.
And then there are all those missing socks.....
