Hello,
So, a while ago, a friend of mine and I decided to take a tour of the old house known as haunted near me, "for fun!" Everything went fine (aside from the fact that I was terrified to death and when entering the house I felt really bad, as if drained of all energy...) we were alone and we hadn’t noticed anything suspicious. I took a few photos of the place, just to boast to my other friends that at least I had the guts to go there... However, when looking at the photos a bit later at home, I notice that most of them are blurry and I also discovered something really strange on certain photos. In one of them there is like a huge ray of sunlight that is present on almost the entire photo, except that that day the sky was cloudy, so there was no sun... On a second one which shows the house, I think I can glimpse a silhouette, I first think it’s a optical illusion, so to verify, I zoom in on the photo, and what I see literally thrilled me. It is indeed a silhouette, that of a young woman (at least that’s what I see). The photograph is blurry, but you can clearly see. It was only after having visited this house that I learned its history:
It has been abandoned for twenty-two years. There was a hanging, and two fatal accidents among the workers who renovated the house. Some claim that a young girl even died in the house’s cellar, others say they heard footsteps, bangs, or screams... Result, the house remains as is, no one wants to renovate or buy it.
In the same woods, just next to the house there are other objects. People say that these objects are nothing but a guillotine and a house of judgment. I saw them, but I cannot confirm if that’s really what they are...
I would like to have your opinion, whether you think these stories are pure fiction or reality; I can put the photos for you to prove I’m not lying.

I sent my testimony to TF1 so they could feature it on their show "La soirée de l'étrange," but I haven’t received any response yet, and it’s been several months since I sent it.

Hi,
Well...
Some "rumors" fed by fertile imagination!
For the 'Strange Evening' on TF1, usually they think we’re idiots but when they see your photos they must have laughed...

So, in your view, is this story just pure fiction?! Personally, I don’t know what to think about these ghost stories and all that. I’m not usually superstitious, but since the day I was there and I saw the photos I had taken, I have serious doubts about the existence of specters, ghosts, and the like, even if I’ve never seen anything in front of me or with the naked eye. Anyway, I really don’t know what to think. I’d like to have the opinion of a specialist and a real one, not someone who spews crap and only scams people.
What do you mean by the fact that “they must have laughed”? You really don’t see anything in the photos? From reading you, one would almost think I’m crazy xD -

Hello,
I would be careful if I were you, demons look for lost souls in certain places. Take a crucifix and holy water next time :) there are certain things that should not be taken lightly. But either you believe it or you don’t. The choice is yours.
I have a little story :)
one day two people who looked malicious entered someone’s house to pay him a visit. when they were leaving, in the basement, the freezer had moved to the middle of the room (a large filled freezer weighing about 100 to 120 kilos) completely immovable. Could be a bad joke. But what a idea?
all of that to say that there are still things inexplicable in this world that is slipping into decline in which we live.
i believe your Poupinete03 story now you watch Paranormal Activity and there you will not set foot in a house “haunted” anymore :)):):):):)

Hello,
I am writing to give my opinion on your account of the haunted house you visited. In my view, it is unlikely that this house is truly haunted, and this can be explained by several reasons. First, according to philosopher David Hume, it is much more probable that any “paranormal” event is a fraud or a mistake of judgment than a violation of the laws of nature. It is therefore far more reasonable to try to explain what you experienced than simply saying that the house is haunted and that an inexplicable force is involved.
Let's begin with the photo you took. You say you observe a white shape in the photo that represents “clearly” a woman. In fact, the shape is far too vague to recognize anything. Your brain tried to find a distinct shape, and you perceived a woman who wasn’t really there. This is what we call an optical illusion; a kind of pareidolia. The only reason your brain associated the blot with a woman is that you had already heard about the haunted house. Your perception was greatly influenced by your prior knowledge. You were subconsciously seeking to confirm what you knew about the house. This phenomenon is called confirmation bias, and it enabled you to imagine this woman. Anyone without any information about the house would look at that white blot and see… only a white blot!
Next, let’s talk about the incidents that occurred in the house. There was a hanging, two fatal accidents in the dwelling, and several other events (according to rumors). Primarily, the fact that these events occurred in the house can simply be a coincidence, which would be far more probable than any other explanation. Moreover, I am convinced that the rumors you heard are only rumors that people invented or imagined to make their arguments more credible. These rumors circulated and may have transformed before reaching you. So do not rely on them!
Lastly, let’s discuss the fact that you and another person explored this “haunted house.” When you are in the presence of others, your judgment and behavior are greatly influenced by them. It is difficult to think for oneself when others do not share the same opinion. Indeed, conformity can be one of the reasons you believe this house is haunted. Could it be that you influenced your friend, or that she influenced you? It is very possible. This would explain your conviction in this paranormal phenomenon.
Finally, I hope I have convinced you that this house is quite normal. It is better to examine every detail than to consider it a paranormal phenomenon, since other possible explanations are infinite and we must always question our perception. -
