For instance who lived there previously and did anything dramatic or unusual happen in your house?
And do you have any idea if any structure was there before your house was built ?
And in the area of your house do you know what happened 70, 100, 500 years ago + and do you care or have you ever even thought about it ?
I ask because you might actually be surprised and find it very interesting if you knew any of the above,for instance if you are in an old house have you ever thought about the families who were born, lived and probably died in your house.?
And do you have an imagination and can you guess the lifestyle of the inhabitants and think about the laughter and tears, joy and sadness, bad times and good times ?
As you maybe aware I'm really deeply interested in history and because of my knowledge and vivid imagination I can't help thinking and pondering about all of the above.

Maybe someone famous or infamous once inhabited your house or the space on which it was built.?
For example, I visited a Spanish friend sometime back and I knocked on their front door and they answered from a side door, I asked them why they don't use the front door...?
For a few moments there was a stony silence and then the Mother said ''My Grandfather was executed on the doorstep of the front door''....I didn't ask anymore details...
A few days later I spoke with the local historian, who is much more open, and he explained that the Grandfather was shot on the doorstep of his house in the 1930's by Franco's 'Maroc' Troops, because he had been named as a communist sympathiser .
So maybe your house etc could tell a tale from the past?
If you are frightened of ghosts it's probably not a good idea to follow my suggestions, but if you are not ..ask ..and I for one would be pleased to hear any of the stories you uncover.....
