Awhile back when I posted about the real, fabled-to-be-haunted Amityville Horror house being for sale and asked readers if they would buy it, mommyzgirlz3 left a comment that said:

"Heck yeah, my kids would love it. They are so into hauntings and such. The house we live in now is haunted, but they are friendly. They move stuff like the cell phones and toys and they open and shut the doors. That's about it and my kids love it."

That's about it? Love it? What??? Um, scary! Get ... out ... of the house!

The idea of haunted houses and hauntings scares the heck out of me, and I think I'd move the second I suspected a paranormal visitor, friendly or not, lurking or floating around my home. If you know what to look for in a haunted house, you can figure out pretty quickly if something creepy is going on. We've compiled a list of ways you can tell if your house is haunted or not.

But first, let's find out a little more from mommyzgirlz3 about her experience with hauntings.
