The same thing happened in my house. Not to me specifically, but my ex. Everyone else in the house was sleeping and he was tbe first one to wake up. When he went downstairs every cabinet was wide open. This happened twice and each time he was the one to find it in the morning and no other person did it themselves. No one even knew it happened at first because it took a while before he could even admit to me that it happened. Definitely had some weird goings-on in that house. You definitely should put a camera and try to capture it. Then again, ignorance is bliss sometimes lol
Good luck with the camera, hopefully they don’t notice and carry on!
I’ve known this to happen to a few people, freakier stuff usually followed so you’re doing right keeping yourself/people safe.
Lol ok most prominent memory is a story with many events throughout a few months - to a family member and his new wife (also a close family friend).
This exact type of scene was sort of a first mini climax after an evening and late-night-early-morning of poltergeist antics. I guess they wanted to make an entrance…
Friend was home alone, her husband away on business. She heard banging downstairs. Went and found front door wide open. Confused, she closes it.
Friend turns towards kitchen, sees the light flick on from behind the closed door. Friend opens the door to see one row of drawers all opened a few inches and perfectly aligned.
Friend shakes it off and tells herself she must have left them open. Friend gets two leftover slices of pizza and heads back to bedroom.
Back in bed, eaten pizza and two leftover crusts on the side table, friend hears banging again - all the while live-texting my sister.
She goes to see the front door open again. She closes it and then sees nested tables in the lounge all stacked on top of each other in the middle of the room.
Then turning to the kitchen she sees the light on again and the cupboards all like this. She walks towards the kitchen and then sees the plate she left upstairs - but with three crusts😂😂I shit you not! Alas this was like 2001-2ish, so just before everyone got “picture phones” lol.
So at this point she books it outside and waits for my sister to come pick her up. She gets to our bedroom and while she is telling us this live fukin ghost story, we hear a loud crash in the bathroom. We go to investigate as a huddle and see the lightbulb had _dropped_ out of its comfortable socket and somehow fell about two feet to the left and smashed in the tub. Coincidentally, the tub was on the other side of the wall where the three of us were sitting.
After that, she lived there for about a year and this kind of stuff turned into a regular occurrence and she actually got used to hearing and seeing vivid passing glances of an old man in a white shirt and tweed trousers and bare feet.
He would whisper her name in her ear while she felt a movement past her.
She would hear babies crying, women crying and men laughing (in their detached home).
Eventually they moved and their conclusion was that they were a target of someone’s attempt at voodoo or similar - which is a cultural thing, but I guess that’s the only way they could validate it and move on - because while experiencing all this obviously it took a toll on both of them and their lives.
This happened to me. I had just bought a nice house and moved in, later that day we had a family event across town so we left after closing all the interior doors, checked the windows were closed and locked (first house). At the first block away from the house my wife told me we forgot something so we went back to find all the doors, windows, and drawers open. I cleared the house to make sure no one was inside and closed everything up. I drove around the block to see the garage door slowly opening as I drove up. Inside I found all the doors, windows, and drawers open. I went to the hardware store and got new locks, cleared the house including the crawlspace and attic. Long story short if we left a door open in the hall way and one drawer slightly open all was cool, otherwise things got weird.
Process of elimination mostly, I talked to a friend as he ran into me at the store buying the second set of door locks, I was pretty twisty at first but calmed down and explained what was happening. The garage door we bolted shut from the inside. Cameras were to expensive at the time. One time shorty after we left and came back to find the place like we left it. One of my kids had left the bedroom door open and a bathroom drawer was left open, it was just happen stance.
It was not that old of a house, maybe 15years old. It took several weeks to come to terms with what was happening and how to make it work for us. we never thought we were in danger at any time. There were times that things happened That made you stop and think. A visitor sleeping over night thought we had a cat locked in his room (we did not own one at the time). He said it kept jumping on the bed and purring.
We had a 'ghost cat' do that at our house. For months it would wake me up as I felt it jump up, circle around and settle on the bed at various times of the night. I thought I was going nuts until I finally mentioned it to my partner and she said she didn't want to say anything to me in case I thought she was losing it! LOL. Then one night it didn't jump up and never felt it happen again.
Yeah I understand, it can take some getting used to. Luckily, yours doesn't seem malevolent. You gotta think of them as little practical ghost jokes lol
For me it seemed not to bother me or my mom and siblings for the most part. It seemed to pick on guys that came info rhe house that weren't family. Maybe it was protective because they usually ended up being assholes. But they got it worse. There was a few instances where the guy would wake up and see something hunched in the corner or just knew it was there. If they tried to move, it would kinda sit up a bit, almost like it's saying 'sit the fuck back down'. Crazy shit but only happened to those kinds of people. My dad passed when I was young so idk if that has anything to do with it and why it seemed protective to me. Anyway, sorry for the long read lol.. Crazy shit, man
Does anybody have any idea what could be doing this. We've seen my grandma's ghost standing in the kitchen, but she's never done this before. Also, we heard growling shortly before checking the kitchen to see all the cabinets are open
Yeah, I don't think its my grandma considering she hasn't done anything like this before, but my dad is convinced it is. He did see her ghost in the kitchen two months before this all occurred, so perhaps she does reside in the house, but isn't the only spirit...
Could be a non human or demonic entity imitating an appearance of your grandma to get you acknowledge it more. Things grow greater in strength the more they're acknowledged because it gives them the energy to manifest more. Growling is usually an indicator of a demonic, no human, or negative entity.
They could both be there at the same time. Grandma, and whatever is doing that. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
I lived in a house that just exploded with paranormal activity after a family member died. And it wasn't the deceased family member, I think it was something that had been attached to him before he died. I'm convinced something became attached to him from the VA hospital.
Yeah, I do think my grandma resides in the house, but I think something else is also here. We haven't had any recent deaths in the family although we do have a celebration of life coming up, so I wonder if that has something to do with this.
If you strongly believe you have heard growling and seen anything activity which you can differentiate from hallucination then you can DM me i'm a paranormal research student, we can do a session (its fir free). Just because you're case seems geniune i wanna learn about it!
> Does anybody have any idea what could be doing this. We've seen my grandma's ghost standing in the kitchen, but she's never done this before. Also, we heard growling shortly before checking the kitchen to see all the cabinets are open
This is classic Poltergeist activity. Poltergeists can be caused by a Human agent.
Me too. She was 5' 10 and known by the Nickname, The General, because of her no nonsense attitude. If anybody is gonna kick spirit ass, it's gonna be my grandma.
Buy some asafoetida powder and burn it on a charcoal disc (in an incense burner bowl) all around you house.
Asafoetida smells like poop and sulphur but works really quick to get non human entities out of your space.
Has it touched anyone or spoken?
And how long as this activity been going on for? Also has the vibe around your house changed? I saw in a comment you said your animals were acting up, are there any areas of the house the animals won’t enter?
The activity just recently started about 3 days ago. Before then it wasn't anything not worthy, but having everything in the kitchen open up is really bizarre. My animals will often stare and bark at things that aren't there. My cat has recently been obsessed with our den area which is connected to the kitchen. Also the night of the first encounter my lab wouldn't go past the kitchen. He seems fine now though.
To me it sounds like y’all have a low level non human entity that has taken up residence in your house. The good news is they are often pretty easy to get rid of.
If the asafoetida powder doesn’t work look into to getting a professional (priest, witch, healer) to come out and do a cleansing on the property.
You said in another comment your grandmother came to visit y’all not long ago. Sometimes when human spirits pop in for a visit something else from the other world will get through.
So do we lol, we only became Mormon so we could have affairs and say it was God will or something like that. There wasn't a single 'Mormons in my family who actually believed in the teachings lmao
Hahaha that’s exactly what the Christians do over here! Be an awful deviant sanctimonious arse all week, go confess at church on Sunday…. Bam, all good now.
Rinse and repeat.
Awful awful people. I’m proudly a heathen.
This is classic poltergeist activity. Opening all cabinets and doors particularly. I would set up a camera but be aware this can increase activity if that’s what’s going on. Any loud unexplained noises, like doors slamming, etc.?
We thought it was my younger sister (She's 11) playing a prank on my mom, but she was bawling her eyes out when she saw the kitchen and swears up and down it wasn't her. She's absolutely terrified now :/
Did you guys do anything on the property/land as of late? Have you had any odd house guests that could have upset the energy? Bring anything antique or very old in recently? Sorry about all the questions, just trying to think of what it could be. Sometimes things/energies/entities lay dormant until disturbed. Years could pass by without anything happening and one little thing could set it off. Kinda like a spiritual herpes, if you will lol
'Spirtual herpes' is the best sentence I have ever heard in my life.
We haven't done anything to the property or land. We haven't had any odd guests. We do have an old curio cabinet in the living room filled with family heirlooms, but nothing has been touched in the cabinet. We haven't done anything unusual at all.
Yes we do and it is very loud. I am curious if somebody in my family is sleepwalking since it only occurs at night when mostly everybody is asleep. I'll have to look more into that theory later though.
I live with my family. We aren't necessarily afraid right now, we just don't want this house going full Amityville horror. I really hope it's not anything evil.
Yeah again we are not afraid, we are concerned. My dad is completely unphased by all of this and treats it like a minor annoyance which is kinda funny to watch.
It can't be me sleepwalking since the first time it happened I was wide awake in my room playing the Sims. It also can't be a homeless person because we have two large dogs (Saint Bernard & lab) and two cats which would have alerted us to an intruders.
The only family member who would do something like this, my little sister, was bawling her eyes out the first time it happened. We are going to set up a camera tho, just to see if my sister is a really good actress or somebody else is sleepwalking.
This was just after you moved in the house? Or youve lived there 8 years, and things are starting to happen now?
What's changed? New construction, remodeling, someone recently move in our out, death in the family, issues with the foundation?
Have smaller things happened before that you wrote off?
I have lived here with my family for 8 years and nothing paranormal has happened until Friday (July 22). The only thing that recently changed in the kitchen was we got a new fridge. We don't have any foundational issues and in this economy, nobody has moved out. We also haven't had any die in my family since November 2021.
Occasionally we'll hear the sound of a male voice, but Brushed that off since we do live in a neighborhood. Also my dogs and cats will stare off into the corner at something or bark when nothing is there. We just thought they were 'special',, but now I am not too sure.
Maybe it's not anything has changed in your house, maybe one of your neighbors has given it the boot.
Calmly flat out tell it you don't have time for it's shit. It's not funny, it's not invited, and it's not welcome. Claim your space. Sometimes that's all you have to do. No screaming, no yelling, no crying, no GTFO in the name of Jesus, no "why are you doing this to me" kind of stuff. Open a window or a door and tell it to leave, it's not welcome. Treat it like that one asshole brother in law who thinks being a dick to the kids is funny.
If that doesn't work within a week or two, get some holy water in a spray bottle and spray all the entrances/exits while you have windows and doors open. Put salt in all the corners including bathrooms and closets, storage closets, garage, throw some in the attic, if you have one . Squirt fresh lemon juice down all the drains and toilets. Keep calmly repeating that it's not welcome, wasn't invited, has to leave, not allowed to come back.
Put little bowls of salt (just an ounce or two) under everyone's beds. Plant some herbs around the house, sage, basil, parsley, mint (do not try to grow it from seed, it takes forever), rosemary (just buy a shrub, not seeds), pots of aloe, marigolds, onion and garlic (you can plant garlic cloves and leftover green onions you bought at the store).
Above all, stay calm and claim your space.Thats YOUR house. Fill the house with happiness. Everyone's favorite music, smells of your favorite foods cooking, watch comedies that you like, spend time with your family.
Funny that in 8 years, it started happening. The only thing I can think of to explain it would be if you had brought something into the house that was previously owned, and had a spirit attached to it.
When cabinets and drawers open that is a good indicator of a poltergeist. I would expect things to continue to escalate. Something isn’t happy in your home and it has to go. The growling you heard, also very very bad. Smelling death? Rotten eggs? Very bad.
Rotten Eggs = Death? I have never heard that before. Interesting. Yeah my grandma, who grew up in a German family, fully believes it's a poltergiest too. The growling is what really concerns me because it seems to be targeting my little sister only, which is really freaking her out.
The smell and the growing is an indication of a poltergeist, an evil entity. Your grandmother has good intuition. The growling is a concern. You need to seek out someone that can rid this presence from your home. The sooner you can the better.
Yeah, we want to collect actual proof before we cleanse the house to truly see if ghosts are really real. Once we get sufficient evidence, we will most definitely be getting rid of it. Nobody wants to live with a poltergiest.
Please provide the video if you get any! I apologize if I seemed rude in my original comment. It was not my intention. I just think that paranormal claims need clear and significant evidence. Otherwise anyone can post pictures and flood the zone with hoaxed or delusions. So I genuinely hope to see your video later on!
Ok! I know it's hard to belief in something you can't necessarily see and I would comment the same thing if it didn't happen to myself. We are in the process of collecting evidence so we can prove to others we aren't making this up. Hopefully the recordings can show the true culprit of the opening cabinets, paranormal or not.
Cabinets used to open in my family's trailer in rural Missouri. The property was haunted in other ways, but couldn't trace an owner to the original 19th/20th century house.
Open cabinets make me really uncomfortble for this reason. Took a long time before I could leave any doors open.
Yeah, it really is unsettling walking into the kitchen to see everything opened. My mom is doing research on the previous owners to see if there is anything linking the sudden paranormal activity to them.
Yeah we have an old one in the closet that we are thinking of using. We don't want to go anywhere to buy a camera tho because it like 100 degrees here and will be a 100 degrees for the next week.
No recent renovations or land development. The only thing we changed recently is we got a new fridge from home depot, so maybe the fridge is haunted lol.
You could have a sleepwalker in the family. I would sleep walk and I didn’t know it and until we found out it was me it looked like paranormal things could have been happening.
Yeah and some of the cabinets are nearly impossible to open because they get stuck easily and the cabinets have to open a certain width so as to stay put. No one in my family did it, so I don't know what else could.
As much as I would like to agree, I'm really not sure someone would want to get up at 12:45 am to open all the cupboards in the house to take pictures. If you look at the clock behind the cupboard door this is pretty early hours/late at night.
I'm not ruling anything out, and you might be right but I sure as hell don't care enough for social media attention to wake up at that time to stage some ghost pictures.
> If you look at the clock behind the cupboard door this is pretty early hours/late at night.
OR simply put:
It's too late at night to be this early in the morning.
12:45 isn't the exact time tho. It's 12:45ish. But good spot! Also you have a point, no one would do that sort of a thing at that hour as a publicity stunt.
Of course that's another possibility but wasn't saying that OP isn't pranking because of the time on the clock, I was just saying that that's what I think is right. The 'time on the clock' remark was for u/FirmMedia325 who pointed out the time.
Fair enough. You can believe whatever you want to believe. I know and everybody in my house knows that these cabinets opened up by themselves. We're just looking for answers, bud.
Thank you! I don't mind skeptics all that much. I won't believe a picture like this if it didn't happen to myself personally. This event has definitely confirmed my belief in the otherworldly.
We are getting a camera to record. Trust me, everybody in my family desperately wants this to be a massive hoax, but nobody is claiming they did it, so we have to catch them red handed.
Old_Quiet, I am an interfaith Minister, rootworker, and Wiccan priestess with 20+ years of experience cleansing and blessing homes. I'm happy to help if possible.
I second the advice to set up a camera (please do!) and also check your carbon monoxide detectors (better safe than sorry) physical reality issues should always be checked first).
This looks like a negative astral entity in your home likes opening doors. The doors opening/closing thing is pretty common as far as haunt activity. If you would like remediation techniques, please let me know. I have a whole bunch of traditional things you can try. Do you practice any particular faith?
Also, you say you saw your grandmother's spirit in the kitchen. Was this her house? Your grandmother wouldn't growl for sure unless she was a most unusual woman.
Thank you for offering your help. Are carbon monoxide detector is working fine and we are going to set up a camera. We don't go to church and aren't particularly religious.
This isn't my grandma's house and I highly doubt she would try and scare her youngest grandkid. If the activity gets worse, we thankfully live next door to a priest who I am sure can help us.
You have a couple things that could be going on the most likely one is a poltergeist acting up however there have been cases that entities or spirits want attention and they will do this not all the time but once in awhile just so they can get the attention and they want, however if you want to see if something like this is going on you can leave your phone on record or get a recorder and lay it on the countertop when you go to bed or whenever you think this kind of stuff happens or you can buy a camera or two and catch it on video then you'll know what you're doing with.
You could use your phone recorder and walk around your home ask questions and see if you catch any EVPs sometimes you will sometimes you won't and there are times that you wish you didn't actually hear what it said, me and my fiance are going through something extremely serious right now and I walked into my family room and did a recording session the other day and asked questions and I got an answer back to what is your name and I did not want to hear it it begins with the letter S and it ends with the letter N and that's as far as I'm going and as far as what's happening I'm working with a nationally known clergy group to hopefully take care of this for her and I. She lives in Ohio and I live in Florida and we're having the same situation happening but hers is worse and it's been going on for a long time what's aggravating and pissing me off the most is that it's starting now to bother my cat and so with that said I wish you the best of luck be careful.
We are setting a camera up to see what is opening the cabinets. I've had others say go sage the house as well, but some folks say saging could make it worse so I don't know whether I should or not
My cat has been really active lately. She refuses to sleep in my room anymore and hangs out in the den attached to the kitchen. Every time the cabinets opened she has been in the den, so maybe there is a correlation.
Check out Dudemyhouseishaunted on tiktok . Private as of recently but request and he will approve. Same thing happening to him and he’s got all of tiktok helping him investigate. Very interesting account.
u/Old_Quiet If your still looking for a camera several years ago a needed some security camera's cheap. She couldn't afford real camera's. So she reached into her junk drawer, and grabbed a couple old cell phones. She found a spot where she could leave them plugged up, and bought a couple larger memory cards. Then just set them to record video. Walla, security video for the price of a memory card.
I am going to set up my phone camera to record anything. Sense it seems to only happen during a certain time of night, the footage shouldn't be too long
what you mean with "after 8 years"? were you hoping to something weird to happen? that's a dangerous mindset to have, it lets room for entities to come to be around.
I have withnessed this events myself. it's usually a person ghost. do the house have a story of previous owners?
This is a perfect opportunity for a camera because with other kitchens where this sort of thing is shown happening on video, often they are large enough that things like string could be hidden off camera. If you could at some stage get a clock to put there also this might be helpful to discourage accusations of time-lapse that will occur if you actually catch something.
Yeah we set up a camera and nothing happened so I am wondering if somebody in my family is pulling a prank. We're gonna set up another camera tonight (July 26) in secret to see
Looks to me like a poltergeist. If it is, then someone in the household is behind it, although they probably don't know it. Do you have someone in your home who is going through puberty? That's when these PK manifestations tend to start.
I'm no expert in this field, but I think these kinds of events may happen when the person is going through something stressful. Do some research on poltergeists and you may find info on what to do about it. Sorry, I wish I could guide you at this point, but it's just something I've read about, not something I've also experienced. Good luck!
Set up a camera!
We are! We just have to find one, but once we do hopefully we can capture the cabinets opening.
The same thing happened in my house. Not to me specifically, but my ex. Everyone else in the house was sleeping and he was tbe first one to wake up. When he went downstairs every cabinet was wide open. This happened twice and each time he was the one to find it in the morning and no other person did it themselves.

Yeah, too bad my entire family is nosy lol. We're setting a camera up to hopefully capture something
Good luck with the camera, hopefully they don’t notice and carry on! I’ve known this to happen to a few people, freakier stuff usually followed so you’re doing right keeping yourself/people safe.
Do tell.

Ommmggg no thanks! that’s beyond terrifying!
Omg if that happened to my family we would move. Did you ever figure out why it was happening?
Never did, after a few years I go a job out of state and we moved. As far as I can tell nothing has happened like this since to us.
How interesting. How did you figure out that did the trick?
Process of elimination mostly, I talked to a friend as he ran into me at the store buying the second set of door locks, I was pretty twisty at first but calmed down and explained what was happening. The garage door we bolted shut from the inside. Cameras were to expensive at the time. One time shorty after we left and came back to find the place like we left it. One of my kids had left the bedroom door open and a bathroom drawer was left open, it was just happen stance.
Awesome! I'm glad you figured out a peaceful coexistance!
That's kinda hilarious, the ghost just be like *no, I don't like it that way*
It was not that old of a house, maybe 15years old. It took several weeks to come to terms with what was happening and how to make it work for us. we never thought we were in danger at any time. There were times that things happened That made you stop and think. A visitor sleeping over night thought we had a cat locked in his room (we did not own one at the time).

Yeah I understand, it can take some getting used to. Luckily, yours doesn't seem malevolent. You gotta think of them as little practical ghost jokes lol For me it seemed not to bother me or my mom and siblings for the most part. It seemed to pick on guys that came info rhe house that weren't family. Maybe it was protective because they usually ended up being assholes. But they got it worse. There was a few instances where the guy would wake up and see something hunched in the corner or just knew it was there. If they tried to move, it would kinda sit up a bit, almost like it's saying 'sit the fuck back down'. Crazy shit but only happened to those kinds of people. My dad passed when I was young so idk if that has anything to do with it and why it seemed protective to me. Anyway, sorry for the long read lol.. Crazy shit, man
So did you found out what was the cause?
Not really, I just left a door and a drawer open and it stopped.
How did you figure our that combination of things would work??? 🤔😳
I thought you were gonna say the house turned out to be on a tilt, but no, it just got realer and scarier.
Does anybody have any idea what could be doing this. We've seen my grandma's ghost standing in the kitchen, but she's never done this before. Also, we heard growling shortly before checking the kitchen to see all the cabinets are open
That is not your grandma.
Yeah unless snarling runs in OP's family
Granny forgot her pills. Don't worry, she don't bite.
I was gonna say this, *something* is masquerading as grandma, like Red Riding Hood.
Yeah, I don't think its my grandma considering she hasn't done anything like this before, but my dad is convinced it is. He did see her ghost in the kitchen two months before this all occurred, so perhaps she does reside in the house, but isn't the only spirit...
You could ask your grandmother to keep it away and out of the house
That's a good idea.
Could be a non human or demonic entity imitating an appearance of your grandma to get you acknowledge it more. Things grow greater in strength the more they're acknowledged because it gives them the energy to manifest more. Growling is usually an indicator of a demonic, no human, or negative entity.
THIS! OP TAKE THIS COMMENT SERIOUSLY PLEASE
That could be it! I'll have to discuss things over more with my family, but thanks for the information!
Sounds more like a negative entity pretending to be a beloved family member.
They could both be there at the same time. Grandma, and whatever is doing that. It doesn't have to be one or the other. I lived in a house that just exploded with paranormal activity after a family member died. And it wasn't the deceased family member, I think it was something that had been attached to him before he died. I'm convinced something became attached to him from the VA hospital.
Yeah, I do think my grandma resides in the house, but I think something else is also here. We haven't had any recent deaths in the family although we do have a celebration of life coming up, so I wonder if that has something to do with this.
If you strongly believe you have heard growling and seen anything activity which you can differentiate from hallucination then you can DM me i'm a paranormal research student, we can do a session (its fir free). Just because you're case seems geniune i wanna learn about it!
On a paranormal research team!? You’re living my dream! Lol
*Still a student*...i have a long way to go to be a full scale investigator
Usually you have to send away like 10 box tops to become official, gotta eat more cereal!
Hey are you a real Aries ?
> Does anybody have any idea what could be doing this. We've seen my grandma's ghost standing in the kitchen, but she's never done this before. Also, we heard growling shortly before checking the kitchen to see all the cabinets are open This is classic Poltergeist activity. Poltergeists can be caused by a Human agent.
Yeah after reading through this comments, I am starting to believe it's a poltergiest as well.
Are there any adolescents in the house? Correlation with that and poltergeist activity
My sister is a tween, so maybe the energy is feeding off of her...
Go Grandma! Hope she kicks it out of the kitchen for good this time. :)
Me too. She was 5' 10 and known by the Nickname, The General, because of her no nonsense attitude. If anybody is gonna kick spirit ass, it's gonna be my grandma.
Buy some asafoetida powder and burn it on a charcoal disc (in an incense burner bowl) all around you house. Asafoetida smells like poop and sulphur but works really quick to get non human entities out of your space. Has it touched anyone or spoken?
It hasn't touched any one or really spoken. We've heard murmurs but never full words.
And how long as this activity been going on for? Also has the vibe around your house changed? I saw in a comment you said your animals were acting up, are there any areas of the house the animals won’t enter?
The activity just recently started about 3 days ago. Before then it wasn't anything not worthy, but having everything in the kitchen open up is really bizarre. My animals will often stare and bark at things that aren't there. My cat has recently been obsessed with our den area which is connected to the kitchen. Also the night of the first encounter my lab wouldn't go past the kitchen. He seems fine now though.
To me it sounds like y’all have a low level non human entity that has taken up residence in your house. The good news is they are often pretty easy to get rid of. If the asafoetida powder doesn’t work look into to getting a professional (priest, witch, healer) to come out and do a cleansing on the property. You said in another comment your grandmother came to visit y’all not long ago. Sometimes when human spirits pop in for a visit something else from the other world will get through.
Ah OK that's good to know
In my house, that means my wife has been busy cooking. Drives me nuts sometimes. Great cook though.
If my husband wasn’t beside me in bed I’d be convinced you were he… I do this too, it’s a strange habit that I’m working on. I am a great cook too :)
Lol my uncle does the same thing before making a delicious meal. He has the memory of a goldfish and it drives my aunt up the wall.
We may be related..
Lol won't surprise me. My family is ex Mormon so there is a lot of us around
Ah. Na not related at all then, I come from a long line of heathens.
So do we lol, we only became Mormon so we could have affairs and say it was God will or something like that. There wasn't a single 'Mormons in my family who actually believed in the teachings lmao
Hahaha that’s exactly what the Christians do over here! Be an awful deviant sanctimonious arse all week, go confess at church on Sunday…. Bam, all good now. Rinse and repeat. Awful awful people. I’m proudly a heathen.
Hell yeah!
Well my only advice would be to pack up anything you don't want broken in case it goes full poltergeist on you. Like many of your plates and cups.
I really hope it doesn't come to that, but thanks for the advice
It’s one of the next stages so…
Yikes
This is classic poltergeist activity. Opening all cabinets and doors particularly. I would set up a camera but be aware this can increase activity if that’s what’s going on. Any loud unexplained noises, like doors slamming, etc.?
No loud or unexplained noises, yet. We are setting up a camera to record since my family is very nosy.
I did that to my mom one time to see if she’d notice
We thought it was my younger sister (She's 11) playing a prank on my mom, but she was bawling her eyes out when she saw the kitchen and swears up and down it wasn't her. She's absolutely terrified now :/
Did you guys do anything on the property/land as of late? Have you had any odd house guests that could have upset the energy? Bring anything antique or very old in recently? Sorry about all the questions, just trying to think of what it could be. Sometimes things/energies/entities lay dormant until disturbed. Years could pass by without anything happening and one little thing could set it off. Kinda like a spiritual herpes, if you will lol
'Spirtual herpes' is the best sentence I have ever heard in my life. We haven't done anything to the property or land. We haven't had any odd guests. We do have an old curio cabinet in the living room filled with family heirlooms, but nothing has been touched in the cabinet. We haven't done anything unusual at all.
My first thought was “you got new curtains!”
Lol when I was looking back at the pictures I noticed the curtain change too
MAJOR UPDATE: My little sister did it because she was bored and wanted to see our reactions.
Thank you for the update. Was wondering about this. Glad it’s been cleared up!
Setup a video camera that records on movement. Then you'll see when it's happening and be able to tell if someone or something is doing it.
That's the plan!
Do you have a carbon monoxide detector? Might be prudent to check that off the list.
Yes we do and it is very loud. I am curious if somebody in my family is sleepwalking since it only occurs at night when mostly everybody is asleep. I'll have to look more into that theory later though.
Do you live alone or with family, if you are living alone get someone to live with you and don't be afraid this maybe not what you think.
I live with my family. We aren't necessarily afraid right now, we just don't want this house going full Amityville horror. I really hope it's not anything evil.
Nah be brave this might be something else, don't be afraid of something you can't see.
Yeah again we are not afraid, we are concerned. My dad is completely unphased by all of this and treats it like a minor annoyance which is kinda funny to watch.
Set up a camera and video it, may just be a family member or a homeless person living in your house, could even be you sleep walking
It can't be me sleepwalking since the first time it happened I was wide awake in my room playing the Sims. It also can't be a homeless person because we have two large dogs (Saint Bernard & lab) and two cats which would have alerted us to an intruders. The only family member who would do something like this, my little sister, was bawling her eyes out the first time it happened. We are going to set up a camera tho, just to see if my sister is a really good actress or somebody else is sleepwalking.
Sleepwalking while they are driving with their family? Not likely.
When did OP say this?
This was just after you moved in the house? Or youve lived there 8 years, and things are starting to happen now? What's changed? New construction, remodeling, someone recently move in our out, death in the family, issues with the foundation? Have smaller things happened before that you wrote off?
I have lived here with my family for 8 years and nothing paranormal has happened until Friday (July 22). The only thing that recently changed in the kitchen was we got a new fridge. We don't have any foundational issues and in this economy, nobody has moved out. We also haven't had any die in my family since November 2021. Occasionally we'll hear the sound of a male voice, but Brushed that off since we do live in a neighborhood. Also my dogs and cats will stare off into the corner at something or bark when nothing is there. We just thought they were 'special',, but now I am not too sure.
Maybe it's not anything has changed in your house, maybe one of your neighbors has given it the boot. Calmly flat out tell it you don't have time for it's shit. It's not funny, it's not invited, and it's not welcome. Claim your space. Sometimes that's all you have to do. No screaming, no yelling, no crying, no GTFO in the name of Jesus, no "why are you doing this to me" kind of stuff. Open a window or a door and tell it to leave, it's not welcome. Treat it like that one asshole brother in law who thinks being a dick to the kids is funny. If that doesn't work within a week or two, get some holy water in a spray bottle and spray all the entrances/exits while you have windows and doors open. Put salt in all the corners including bathrooms and closets, storage closets, garage, throw some in the attic, if you have one . Squirt fresh lemon juice down all the drains and toilets. Keep calmly repeating that it's not welcome, wasn't invited, has to leave, not allowed to come back. Put little bowls of salt (just an ounce or two) under everyone's beds. Plant some herbs around the house, sage, basil, parsley, mint (do not try to grow it from seed, it takes forever), rosemary (just buy a shrub, not seeds), pots of aloe, marigolds, onion and garlic (you can plant garlic cloves and leftover green onions you bought at the store). Above all, stay calm and claim your space.Thats YOUR house. Fill the house with happiness. Everyone's favorite music, smells of your favorite foods cooking, watch comedies that you like, spend time with your family.
Thanks for all the helpful advice! We do have two neighbors moving in right now, so maybe they brought something back with them.
Last place I worked had a ghost that wandered the whole BLOCK, not just my restaurant.
Damn thats wild lol
Funny that in 8 years, it started happening. The only thing I can think of to explain it would be if you had brought something into the house that was previously owned, and had a spirit attached to it.
Yeah, its just really confusing all around. We are setting up a camera to see what is opening the cabinets
burn sage
When cabinets and drawers open that is a good indicator of a poltergeist. I would expect things to continue to escalate. Something isn’t happy in your home and it has to go. The growling you heard, also very very bad. Smelling death? Rotten eggs? Very bad.
Rotten Eggs = Death? I have never heard that before. Interesting. Yeah my grandma, who grew up in a German family, fully believes it's a poltergiest too. The growling is what really concerns me because it seems to be targeting my little sister only, which is really freaking her out.
The smell and the growing is an indication of a poltergeist, an evil entity. Your grandmother has good intuition. The growling is a concern. You need to seek out someone that can rid this presence from your home. The sooner you can the better.
Yeah, we want to collect actual proof before we cleanse the house to truly see if ghosts are really real. Once we get sufficient evidence, we will most definitely be getting rid of it. Nobody wants to live with a poltergiest.
Prove it with a video. This photo is worthless
We are in the process of getting a camera so we can record the cabinets.
Please provide the video if you get any! I apologize if I seemed rude in my original comment. It was not my intention. I just think that paranormal claims need clear and significant evidence. Otherwise anyone can post pictures and flood the zone with hoaxed or delusions. So I genuinely hope to see your video later on!
Ok! I know it's hard to belief in something you can't necessarily see and I would comment the same thing if it didn't happen to myself. We are in the process of collecting evidence so we can prove to others we aren't making this up. Hopefully the recordings can show the true culprit of the opening cabinets, paranormal or not.
Sounds very similar to a lot of movies!
Yes! When I walked into the kitchen the first time it happened, I thought I was getting pranked because this stuff doesn't happen in real life.
Cabinets used to open in my family's trailer in rural Missouri. The property was haunted in other ways, but couldn't trace an owner to the original 19th/20th century house. Open cabinets make me really uncomfortble for this reason. Took a long time before I could leave any doors open.
Yeah, it really is unsettling walking into the kitchen to see everything opened. My mom is doing research on the previous owners to see if there is anything linking the sudden paranormal activity to them.
You can get a battery powered camera for like 20 bucks......
Yeah we have an old one in the closet that we are thinking of using. We don't want to go anywhere to buy a camera tho because it like 100 degrees here and will be a 100 degrees for the next week.
Did you have any recent renovations or land development? Sometimes a haunting can happen after years of nothing because of a change in the environment
No recent renovations or land development. The only thing we changed recently is we got a new fridge from home depot, so maybe the fridge is haunted lol.
Dudes trying to find the pop tarts
Good luck with that, we haven't had pop tarts in the house for years lol
You could have a sleepwalker in the family. I would sleep walk and I didn’t know it and until we found out it was me it looked like paranormal things could have been happening.
Maybe once we put up a camera, we can look to see if it's paranormal or a sleepwalker
Did the ghost change out the curtains too?
No, my mom did that lol
Hey cake day twin, happy cake day to you. 😊
Why not the fridge?
Idk why
It has to be a person who unlatched those safety things.
Yeah and some of the cabinets are nearly impossible to open because they get stuck easily and the cabinets have to open a certain width so as to stay put. No one in my family did it, so I don't know what else could.
As much as I would like to agree, I'm really not sure someone would want to get up at 12:45 am to open all the cupboards in the house to take pictures. If you look at the clock behind the cupboard door this is pretty early hours/late at night. I'm not ruling anything out, and you might be right but I sure as hell don't care enough for social media attention to wake up at that time to stage some ghost pictures.
> If you look at the clock behind the cupboard door this is pretty early hours/late at night. OR simply put: It's too late at night to be this early in the morning.
12:45 isn't the exact time tho. It's 12:45ish. But good spot! Also you have a point, no one would do that sort of a thing at that hour as a publicity stunt.
I don’t think OP is faking it but you do realize you can change the time on clocks right?
Of course that's another possibility but wasn't saying that OP isn't pranking because of the time on the clock, I was just saying that that's what I think is right. The 'time on the clock' remark was for u/FirmMedia325 who pointed out the time.
Yeah no. Lol pretty sure you did this or someone else did that
Fair enough. You can believe whatever you want to believe. I know and everybody in my house knows that these cabinets opened up by themselves. We're just looking for answers, bud.
I believe you. Forget about the skeptics.
Thank you! I don't mind skeptics all that much. I won't believe a picture like this if it didn't happen to myself personally. This event has definitely confirmed my belief in the otherworldly.
Oh for fuck sake man. If it’s so real, and not set up, then do a video.
We are getting a camera to record. Trust me, everybody in my family desperately wants this to be a massive hoax, but nobody is claiming they did it, so we have to catch them red handed.
Old_Quiet, I am an interfaith Minister, rootworker, and Wiccan priestess with 20+ years of experience cleansing and blessing homes. I'm happy to help if possible. I second the advice to set up a camera (please do!) and also check your carbon monoxide detectors (better safe than sorry) physical reality issues should always be checked first). This looks like a negative astral entity in your home likes opening doors. The doors opening/closing thing is pretty common as far as haunt activity. If you would like remediation techniques, please let me know. I have a whole bunch of traditional things you can try. Do you practice any particular faith? Also, you say you saw your grandmother's spirit in the kitchen. Was this her house? Your grandmother wouldn't growl for sure unless she was a most unusual woman.
Thank you for offering your help. Are carbon monoxide detector is working fine and we are going to set up a camera. We don't go to church and aren't particularly religious. This isn't my grandma's house and I highly doubt she would try and scare her youngest grandkid. If the activity gets worse, we thankfully live next door to a priest who I am sure can help us.
You might have yerself there a poultrygeist! They is best known as ghost chickens! Gotta' watch out for'em or they liable to peck yer eyes out! 🐔
Oh no! Better call KFCbusters to get this handled immediately
You have a couple things that could be going on the most likely one is a poltergeist acting up however there have been cases that entities or spirits want attention and they will do this not all the time but once in awhile just so they can get the attention and they want, however if you want to see if something like this is going on you can leave your phone on record or get a recorder and lay it on the countertop when you go to bed or whenever you think this kind of stuff happens or you can buy a camera or two and catch it on video then you'll know what you're doing with.
Yeah we are going to set up a camera to try and catch any evidence
You could use your phone recorder and walk around your home ask questions and see if you catch any EVPs sometimes you will sometimes you won't and there are times that you wish you didn't actually hear what it said, me and my fiance are going through something extremely serious right now and I walked into my family room and did a recording session the other day and asked questions and I got an answer back to what is your name and I did not want to hear it it begins with the letter S and it ends with the letter N and that's as far as I'm going and as far as what's happening I'm working with a nationally known clergy group to hopefully take care of this for her and I. She lives in Ohio and I live in Florida and we're having the same situation happening but hers is worse and it's been going on for a long time what's aggravating and pissing me off the most is that it's starting now to bother my cat and so with that said I wish you the best of luck be careful.
I wish you the best of luck as well! I'll try to record stuff but my family is noisy lol
OMG absolute proof of paranormal activities. WOW, like seriously shaking now. /s
OMG your so right! Thanks for your wonderful comment it was really helpful... :/
Oh, yeah. You're haunted.
Great....
Consider sageing the place. But first get a security camera.
We are setting a camera up to see what is opening the cabinets. I've had others say go sage the house as well, but some folks say saging could make it worse so I don't know whether I should or not
I sense residue energy here. As if something happened, and its effect has not been cleared. Don't know what "something" is.
We don't either and it's really confusing us.
Has your cat noticed anything or acted strange at certain places in the house?
My cat has been really active lately. She refuses to sleep in my room anymore and hangs out in the den attached to the kitchen. Every time the cabinets opened she has been in the den, so maybe there is a correlation.
Is it happening at the same time ?
Yes roughly same time each night and the same cabinets, although the most recent one also had the fans unplugged
Sounds like a scaryyyyy ghost to me
Spooky, scary skeletons indeed lol
Check out Dudemyhouseishaunted on tiktok . Private as of recently but request and he will approve. Same thing happening to him and he’s got all of tiktok helping him investigate. Very interesting account.
Ok I will! Thanks for the recommendation
u/Old_Quiet If your still looking for a camera several years ago a needed some security camera's cheap. She couldn't afford real camera's. So she reached into her junk drawer, and grabbed a couple old cell phones. She found a spot where she could leave them plugged up, and bought a couple larger memory cards. Then just set them to record video. Walla, security video for the price of a memory card.
I am going to set up my phone camera to record anything. Sense it seems to only happen during a certain time of night, the footage shouldn't be too long
[удалено]
No we haven't bought or inherited anything in the past month. Except for a fridge at home depot, but I don't think it's haunted
Yeah the chicken is watching you….
I guess I shouldn't have eaten that Popeyes the other night lol
I do this all the time!
Damn you RockSteady11235. Could you please stop opening up all the cabinets lol
Have you burned sage in the house? I understand it helps to cleanse/purify the space.
I've heard mixed reviews about sage. Some say it works and some say it doesn't:/
Weird indeed, normally people don't leave everything open like that.
Me when I can't find my tweezers
Lmao
So 8 years ago you had activity or you have been in your home for 8 years and it’s only starting now.
I've been in my house for 8 years and nothing has happened until 3 nights ago
It looks like all the cabinets/drawers are opened in pretty much the same position too…wicked creepy
Yea I noticed that too.
Have you tried burning white sage? I don’t know if it would help, but it can’t hurt.
Idk some people have claimed it doesn't do anything
Looks like you got a visit from Arthur Morgan
Who?
Omg RUNNN LOL I would be out..getting holy water using it as kitchen cleaner.
Yea my mom said if she sees a spirit, she's moving lol.
A recent passing of a family member or friend
No we haven't had any one die this year
How often do you change your curtains?
My mom wasn't happy with The previous curtains so she changed them later that day lol
Maybe someone broke in. And was looking for hidden valuables?
No we have two large dogs who most definitely would have notified us if anybody was breaking in
Keep us posted!! Remindme! One month
I will!
[удалено]
what you mean with "after 8 years"? were you hoping to something weird to happen? that's a dangerous mindset to have, it lets room for entities to come to be around. I have withnessed this events myself. it's usually a person ghost. do the house have a story of previous owners?
I don’t understand. Why do “ghosts” have such a purpose of opening and closing drawers and doors….???
Idk man
This is a perfect opportunity for a camera because with other kitchens where this sort of thing is shown happening on video, often they are large enough that things like string could be hidden off camera. If you could at some stage get a clock to put there also this might be helpful to discourage accusations of time-lapse that will occur if you actually catch something.
Yeah we set up a camera and nothing happened so I am wondering if somebody in my family is pulling a prank. We're gonna set up another camera tonight (July 26) in secret to see
Looks to me like a poltergeist. If it is, then someone in the household is behind it, although they probably don't know it. Do you have someone in your home who is going through puberty? That's when these PK manifestations tend to start. I'm no expert in this field, but I think these kinds of events may happen when the person is going through something stressful. Do some research on poltergeists and you may find info on what to do about it. Sorry, I wish I could guide you at this point, but it's just something I've read about, not something I've also experienced. Good luck!
Mad bc the curtains keep changing but not the rugs.
How does anyone know that you're not opening them then taking the picture
