What in your opinion would be considered a haunted house?
I do believe there are places where dark spirits are active. I've walked into places where, figuratively, the hair would stand up on my head, and you could sense a dark presence (or maybe more than one) in the area. I'm not sure if there is a constant and specific dwelling place for them though, maybe so, but I'm not sure about it.
We toured the Bird Cage theater in Tombstone a few weeks ago. It is one of the single most haunted places in America, but I felt zilch, spirit wise, as I walked through. From a historical perspective it was a fascinating place!
But, do I believe places (houses or outdoor spots) can be haunted? Yes.

Attended a training class at work last week.
There were attendees from other locations that I don't work with or know personally.
In casual chatter at break time one of the gals said there are 2 ghosts that reside in her house. Doors close or open etc with no one there. She has had "paranormal" experts walk through the house to detect the who or what .
I'm not sure how to classify it______but I'm not planning to visit her

I do believe that places can be "haunted" by demonic spirits. I have dealt with many cases of it, most recently last week. I dont believe in ghost or residual human entities, I believe that each case is demonic but very real.

Our house before the one we are in now was haunted. Made fun of my wife for seeing the "ghost" or whatever until I did myself. Don't have time to post all of the happenings now but will try to later.
Interestingly if dead people haunt a house it ought to be our current home since the original owner was murdered in the master bedroom.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
However, if we pay close attention, we'll realize that the judgment hasn't taken place yet. We know that the saved are carried by the angels into the presence of the LORD. However, the Bible doesn't say much about the souls of the lost. We know that the rich man found himself in torments. However, is it possible that a lost soul be "abandoned" to roam the earlthy plane? It's "possible".
Also, when dealing with occult spiritism we read something interesting regarding the witch that conjured up the spirit of Samuel,
1 Samuel 28:11-14
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
That word "gods" is, "'elohiym", a term used for "spirits", angels, etc. in ancient Israel. Essentially, when she opened the "door" between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead... the witch saw other spirits rushing into our world. Thus, when a witch opens a door to communiate with the dead it is possible that a "door" is opened in the spiritual plane that might allow human spirits to wander back into this world and seek out the home in which they lived prior to death.
A second type of "haunting" is a residual haunting. This is like a "replay" of events. The "ghosts" appear to be stuck in a loop. It appears that whatever happened was so intense, a spiritual (or psychic) impression was burned into the location that replays. Some think these spirits don't know they are dead and are somehow "stuck" in a constant loop reliving their death.
The final kind of haunting is connected to the possession of a home. A demon spirit might take up residence to oppress and finally possess an occupant. They might even impersonate the dead (familiar spirit).
All are adequately dealt through casting out in Jesus name.

This lady that Saul went to was a flack just as they are today. One that used to advertise on tv a few years ago filled 911... Shame they couldn't foretell that it was coming.

The heresy hunters are still with us. Only now, instead of stakes, they use their books and radio programs to destroy those they consider heretics.... I'm concerned that heresy hunting may be turning into leukemia because some cultwatchers seem more intent on destroying parts of the body than healing the body....
