Can a House come alive?

Don’t go running for the phone just yet. A padded cell isn’t in my future. Let me give some history and seriously I want an answer from you.

I’ve lived in this house for 14 years. Some of it happy times and some of it really hard times. I’m the original owner and I think it was a bunch of orange groves before the development. I chose the house and my ex-husband wasn’t sure. I won. I loved it from the first time I saw its open spaces, great architectural elements, and its coziness.

Over the years I decorated it, updated it and put my heart into it. I thought I would stay there for the rest of my life. A lot of people know I’m sensitive and have seen some things in the house. Some of it good and some of it bad. Remember, I see things no matter where I go so this was normal to me.

During my marriage, my husband started getting into the occult with me. One time he told me that while he laid in bed, he would let this energy into him. That freaked me out. He doesn’t know if it’s good or bad and he definitely didn’t know how to control it.

I asked him to stop and he didn’t. Other events like buying a human skull from eBay also freaked me out. So here I’m putting positive energy into the house and my ex-husband is putting negative energy into the house. He did lot’s of other crap but it’s not about him. Maybe another story and another place.

Well, over time the house never lost its charm but the marriage did. As a lot of people these days I got a divorce. I bought him out of his half of the house and moved back in.

I started to fix it up but something didn’t quite feel right. For one year, I stayed in boxes and only decorated my office. The house felt different. And I can absolutely feel the difference between past issues with the marriage and my feelings for where I lived. So something was making me go hmmmmm?

Well, I finally decided to sell the house. It’s a beautiful house and I still love it. It just needs a happy couple to give it love. This brings me to the question, is it alive?

When I moved back in, I got the feeling of someone watching me. It permeated the house, every room, nook and cranny. It didn’t feel bad so I didn’t pay much attention to it. When I moved out recently and a series of events have taken place that now has me thinking is this the houses way of holding on to me.

Everyone room in my house is painted a different color. When buyers come in to look at it they can’t get past the color and look at the bones. Even real estate people. This wasn’t odd until events keep occurring.

A 17 year old kid tried to do a fish tail with his truck on the street and failed the attempt. He hit my block wall with his truck. My house runs parallel with the street and is sooooo hard to hit. Almost impossible. I have to keep going back to the house to deal with police, insurance and now contractors.

While I was there cleaning up a few things I found a small section of the wood floor had warped. My neighbor helped me find the problem. A washer from the refrigerator water facet was leaking. I’ve repaired the leak, but now have to repair the floor.

I also hired a painter to paint the entire inside of the house. It was like the 3 stooges painted my house. Thank God he wasn’t that far and I fired him. Due to money, I now have to paint the rest of the house myself.

Now I don’t believe I have had bad luck because I have a great life. I love every minute and getting up every day. I think the house is alive and is trying to hold on to me. What do you think? Do you think a house can come alive and try to hold on to its owners?

If anyone saw the Stephen King movie Rose Red, you might agree with me. The King movie showed the house as being alive in a vampirism kind of way. Instead of small little issues like I have, the King movie sucked peoples souls into the house. Is that next, I wonder. lol. Hmmmmm

    I think that houses absorb energy from those who live in it and I do believe with enough energy absorbed, a place can take on sort of a life of its own. It makes sense. The universe is energy, and that includes us, houses, animals, trees, rocks etc :)

    lol I dont think the house will swallow your soul, but dont take the LOL the wrong way either. I think a house lives in the sense that maybe your house is trying to tell you to not move. Maybe it feels comfortable and isnt wanting change. But going back, I do believe that a home in the beginning can absorb the happy energy and take on its own life. maybe it just forgot the evil or unhappiness and you are still living it in some way?? I got divorced in 94 and am now remarried, and when we bought this house I didnt move in anything at all from the ex but my son. This is a happy home again, and its alive with warmth and happiness.

    bless your house. Sounds like it loves you. :)

    Wow, Isabella - interesting story about your sentient house! I definitely believe a place can store energy of the people who live there and the things that happen there. Sounds like your house is transmitting all the conflicted energy its accumulated. First thing I’d do on the first nice day is open all the windows and let the outside air in. You could also perform a cleansing prayer ritual.

    If you decide you want to sell your house, here’s something a lot of Catholic (and non-Catholics) do. Bury a St. Joseph statue in the front yard. Preferably right under the “for sale” sign. St. Joe will help speed up your house’s sale! Personally I haven’t tried this, having only sold one home during a very good real estate market, but a lot of people I know swear by it!

    I have to agree with Joy as well as the lady that talked about houses storing past experiences. I consider it to be like recording events on tape recorder. When emotions are heightened (and this can happen if you are a sensitive) then that energy has to go somewhere. My theory is that given the right sensitive individual this information will play back… or in this case negative energy will release. Try having the house blessed or doing things to bring positive energy into the house. What you put out you’ll get back ten fold. Just my .02
