i'm just sitting here thinking* when is a houst haunted? i see ghosts/spirits in my house all the time. i don't consider my house haunted but just full of spirits. what does haunted actually mean? i'm confused by this word. can you house be full of ghosts but not be haunted?

*note i might be having a blonde moment here*

Well...hmmmm...personally I think a house full of spirits ='s haunted, however that's just me. I suppose the definition of haunted depends on the definer (is that a word?? lol) Perhaps what one person would consider just a house with some unseen guests another would consider haunted. So to sum up my definition of haunted, I would consider a home or other defined area haunted if it had a consistent history of activity of the ghostly sort
