Sue Darroch and Matthew Didier's Paranormal Blog

Most of our readers, and paranormal enthusiasts in general already know that home renovations, or home improvement projects can on occasion stir up a lot more than just dust. In fact throughout folklore, and within our own reports these types of projects often seem to provoke a haunting even when the house seemed to be ghost free prior to the start of the renovations.

I have heard it all when it comes to do-it-yourself home improvement projects via people that have kindly sent in their reports to us. The worst being a couple who attempted to insulate attic space that had no clue as to what they were doing! It certainly wasn't a ghost or haunting that proved to be the horror story in their case, but the gross debris removal on top of an unexpected encounter with the family of raccoons that they had no idea prior to their project were now living in their attic!

Our organisation's motto is "Scientia Et Potentia" which is Latin for knowledge is power, and it really does hold true for everything in life including home improvement projects. If you are planning on a do-it-yourself project do yourself a favour, and check out DoitYourself.com, which is a terrific online community, and resource! They also have a "DoItYourself" DVD that would have definitely helped out the poor couple mentioned above, and their attic woes....

Just click on the links above to check them out, and if you are about to tackle a home improvement project best wishes!
