mouni's haunted house....

Calling spirits or exchanging ghost stories is usually one of the most thrilling ways to keep your party going strong. But if you're one who has actually experienced something paranormal, you'll agree that it can really freak you out.

Not long ago, television actor Mouni Roy decided to move out of her house because she was convinced it was haunted. Media executive Nidheesh Vaasu also shifted out of his earlier house because of a presence. "There were two entities. One of them would keep pulling my leg and constantly disturb me when I would try to sleep. I later found out that there had been a premature death in the house some time back."

While most of us are foggy about the existence of 'ghosts', some are perfectly comfortable with the idea of paranormal beings co-existing with humans. "There definitely can be paranormal activity. There are both good and bad spirits, but we can't call them ghosts," insists Rune reader Rohini Gupta. But how can you be sure your house is haunted? "Weird things happen… doors open and close, people have felt a presence in their house or even something walk through them," says Gupta.

Angel card reader Manju Mohinani is very matter-of-fact about the 'spirit' that was in her house. "At a certain time, there would be someone walking up and down the passage. Judging by the sound of the footsteps, we knew it was someone elderly," says Manju.

Recounts spoon bender Mani Kanga, "I remember I had been to my cousin's house — she had just moved into a new house and told me how every morning, she would wake up to papers in her study thrown all over the room." When this continued even after she kept a paper weight, Kanga decided to check this out herself. "I walked into the room and saw a woman with brown hair who told me to ask my cousin to keep out of her space. We lit a diya and kept some water and the spirit never bothered her again," she adds.

At Reay road, muezzins help do away with spirits and Harsh Khiraiya uses dousing rods to check for spirits. "It's a very good mode to ascertain if spirits are around," says Gupta. But most of those in the know agree that many of the supposedly haunted houses are actually free of ghosts. "Most people are not sensitive to paranormal activity.
We feel it because we understand it better," says Kanga.

Karishma Shaw says it's clear when you're not wanted in a place. "It's a little scary and we feel an energy change to the negative," she says. If you are ever in such a situation, the best remedy, of course, is to say a prayer. "Keep saying the most powerful prayer or a mantra you know. It will definitely help. Else, different religions have various ways of dealing with the paranormal," explains Shaw.
