Living in a House with Three Ghosts

​Confession From Property Owner

My husband and I bought a house in Sambuca. It was in a quiet, rural part of west Sicily. Most people would avoid a place like this because it was old and far from civilization, but we loved it precisely for that. The Villa cost us about 100k sgd. With renovations and all, the total amount came up to about the price of a 2 room HDB in Singapore.
 
But a place that had been around for hundreds of years surely came with some ‘thing’. The moment we saw the place, I could tell him which parts of the house had ‘things’ but like typical ‘ang mos’, he didn’t believe in them.
 
I sensed about 3 ghosts in my house and they didn’t get along with one another. One of them is the spirit of a nanny, who seems to be stuck and wanders about the second level only. She is a grumpy old soul and didn’t like the renovation work being done. She would show her displeasure by knocking on walls and doors. My husband said it was just the old building making creaking noises.
 
It is always chilly in the cellar. In there lives two ghosts; the spirit of a man who died by hanging and another that was hacked to death with an axe. His body had been found hidden in the vat.
 
Every morning when I do my prayers, I dedicate merits to them. I think it took them by surprise when I didn’t chase them away. When they realize that I have no animosity towards them, I feel the energetic vibration reduce in intensity.
 
I even consider them the house guardians. When we are back in Singapore, and the house is vacant, I know they take care of the place and prevent other spirits from taking refuge in our house.
 
The thing about me is that I see ghosts since I was a child. As I got older, the spirits became clearer and more defined. There was a period of my life in Uni where I simply couldn’t function because I could see them all the time. Eventually I learnt that the best way to handle spirits is to show your compassion. Most times, they are like any normal human beings and mean no harm to us.
