Majority of American Houses Are Haunted, Homeowners Say
By Elizabeth Urban, The Latin Times
Nearly two-thirds of American homeowners believe that their house is haunted, according to a new survey.
The survey by Angi, a service to help people find home service providers, found that 60% of home- owners believe that they may be living with ghosts.
Of the 1,000 homeowners surveyed, more than 65% claimed to have experi- enced unexplainable occurrences in their homes. About 31% report- ed hearing unexplained sounds in the walls, 30% reported creaking floor- boards and 24% reported hearing unexplained foot-
steps.
About 13% of respondents reported seeing or hearing the toilet flush on its own. However, Angi did note that there is a phenome- non called "ghost flushing" where toilets will flush on their own due to a leak somewhere in the home's toilet system.
Almost 20% of homeown- ers surveyed said they were scared of one or more parts of their home, such as their basement or attic. Nearly 60% said they would not like to be left alone at home.
However, 58% of respon- dents said they would con- sider living in a haunted house if it meant saving money.
A man walks into his bedroom and sees his wife packing a suit- case.
He asks, “What are you doing?”She answers, “I’m moving to London.
I heard womens there get paid £400 for doing what I do for you for free.
Later that night, on her way out, the wife walks into the bedroom and sees her hus- band packing his suitcase.
When she asks him where he’s going,he replies,“I’m com- ing too I want to see how you live on £800 a year.
A bus driver was plying his regular driving route when an old lady got on the bus and sat behind the driver,
For every ten minutes into the ride, She kept asking the driver a question.
The first ten min-
utes into the ride, the old woman piped up and asked the driver,
“Have we reached Falls Creek yet, sonny?”
Turning to the woman, the driver replied that they were yet to get to Falls Creek, and whenever they got there, he was going to inform her.
As the hours passed,
The old woman kept asking if they had gotten to Falls Creek, and it was beginning to get on the nerves of the driv- er.
The driver got frustrated with the constant badger- ing and could not help but give a sigh of relief when a little town came in view.
Eager to drop the woman and get done with the questioning, he slammed his legs on the brake, pulled over and called out to the woman saying:
“This is where you get out, lady.”
The old woman asked if it was indeed Falls Creek, and the driver replied in the affirmative and yelled at the woman to get out.
Smiling at his answer, the woman explained sweetly that she was not getting down at Falls Creek as her final stop was the town ahead.
Confused at her answer,
The driver wanted to know why she kept badgering him, and she said,
“It’s just that my daughter told me that when we got this far, I should take my blood pressure pill.”
