Well, the day I moved out, I had a cop there (long, irrelevant story) and he was talking to me outside while the guys were getting my stuff. He said that back in the 80's, a guy who lived in our apartment hung himself in our staircase. I thought that explained everything and it really creeped me out.

Whoa that sounds really scary. Trippy you found out about it after you moved out. I would'nt doubt some crazy stuff has happened in my apartment before. It was built around 1910....that's about near a 100 years old. Where I live at too was also a brothel before.. ironic staying 2 places that used to be that lol....but what I found out recently also is that someone died next door. He was an alcoholic and they found him there. I think he's one of the ghosts in my building.

Places such as Ground Zero or Sand Creek in the US hold the pain of mass death, while other activities such as "blessing" a space by having sex there, creates another kind of energy. Many sites around the world that are places of pilgrimage, became so because they hold postive energy.

The house I moved out of held a great deal of pain and negative energy. When we first looked at it I mistakenly thought it came from the people living there. They were slobs and there where signs of violence in their relationship. I purified and smudged the entire house and the area around it. It helped slightly. My now ex had moved into the house prior to our marriage and started to have problems with his health and employment literally the day my kids and I moved in. No one else had any trouble other than related to dealing with his.

I smudged a couple of times trying to clear the energy in the house because I just didn't feel comfortable there. A couple years after moving in I was talking to some neighbors who had been there a good 30 yrs. She was Native American and understood what I was working with. They told me that when they moved into their house, our house was being rebuilt from an arson fire. In doing some work on the place I could tell there had been a fire. They didn't know or wouldn't say if there were any deaths but a man had decided that his wife and kids were trying to poison him and had set the place on fire in the middle of the night and then barricaded the road with his truck and tractor to try to keep the fire dept out (this is a rural area). It turned out he had a brain tumor.

It was such a relief to leave that place. I regularly smudge the properties I manage, as I did in the past. Most of my tenants know I do so and some have asked me to do the inside of their apts as well. It makes a difference, I've had people who didn't know I'd smudged tell that somehow the property seems "cleaner" and ask if I was doing something different. I just smile and tell them I've been purifying.

Wow I believe that....I don't doubt my last apartment is very haunted right now. After the crazy stuff I've been through there and also my friend/ex-roommate passing away there. I feel my friend is haunting that place now...things were left unresolved there. I feel her presence alot in my room too,like she's looking after me all the time. The stove turned on by itself at my place twice and nobody touched the stove. One time while my roommate and I were arguing it turned on mysteriously and a fire actually started in the kitchen. Really scared both of us and then another time it turned on again,I was even in the kitchen that time and had my back turned to the stove...I looked around and it was on all of a sudden!?!? I then asked my roommate why the stove is on and we both could'nt figure out how it turned on by itself cos my roomie did'nt touch it either. One time I woke up in the middle of the night and my overhead light was on....I don't recall turning it on,it was off before I went to sleep. Then about a month ago I was looking at the supposedly haunted painting I found on the internet that people claim weird things happen after staring at it and something on the table dropped on the floor like a force pushed it off while I was looking at it. That really creeped me out and I never ever looked at that painting again after that. Alot of bad vibes from it.
