CAN'T get warm even with the thermostat turned up? Temperature changes are the most common sign your house is haunted according to TV paranormal investigator.

Ahead of Halloween interior design company Leader Furniture has teamed up with Help! My House is Haunted’s Barri Ghai to share insight into haunted houses, explaining how you can tell if your home has a special guest.

According to Barri a sudden drop in temperature is the number one sign your house has a ghost, so if you find yourself turning up the thermostat but still shivering it could be a signal that your home has an unwanted visitor.

Temperature changes linked to paranormal activity are usually quick — you won’t gradually feel the temperature change, but instead it will dramatically lower and feel a chill within seconds.

Temperature drops sit alongside phantom smells as key signs your house is haunted. These smells can range from the pleasant scent of a bunch of flowers to something a little less pleasant, like rotting meat or strong tobacco.

Ten signs that your house is haunted

  • You experience unexplained temperature drops usually confined to specific areas.
  • You have feelings of being watched when alone.
  • You may hear unexplained noises like footsteps, bangs or crashes with no logical explanation.
  • You may experience unusual smells usually like perfume, tobacco, flowers, rotten meat, sulphur or burning.
  • You might be experiencing electrical disturbances usually affecting lights, TVs, radios or cookers.
  • You might find objects disappear and then reappear in different parts of the home.
  • You could come face to face with a ghost. This might be an apparition, smoke-like shape, dark shadow person or even a full-bodied manifestation.
  • You could experience feelings of sudden static discharge or the 'smell' of electricity.
  • You might witness objects moving on their own.
  • You could be unlucky enough to experience physical interaction including being touched by invisible hands.
