1
Your great aunt left you the house of your dreams, or so you thought.
2
Now as you listen to the sounds of scratching on the walls, you realize this house is the house of your nightmares.
3
And since you've seen your fair share of horror movies, you know living in a haunted house will not end well for you.
4
Here's how to survive a haunted house.
5
Yes, we know there's no scientific proof of ghosts, but there are countless reports of hauntings all over the world.
6
According to a 2019 YouGov poll, 45% of Americans believe that ghosts definitely or probably exist.
7
And the other 55% have obviously never stayed in a haunted house.
8
People in a haunted house may see visual signs including full-bodied apparitions, or items that have moved without anyone touching them.
9
So if you walk into the living room and find everything rearranged, Maybe it's time to call the Ghostbusters, or someone else.
10
When should you call a medium?
11
What should you do to the mirrors?
12
And how could your spice rack save your home?
13
The idea of ghosts has persisted for millennia.
14
It's based on our interest in death and the possibility of an afterlife.
15
And ghosts need somewhere to live, which is why haunted houses have been around for centuries, too.
16
Incidents of haunted houses in Europe and the U.S increased significantly from 1848 to the late 1920s.
17
With the increase in hauntings also came the increase in people who said they could speak to ghosts
18
and get rid of them.
19
These people were known as mediums, but they've also evolved into other forms, such as ghost hunters over the years.
20
Greg Newkirk is one such ghost hunter, and anxious homeowners have called him to many haunted houses to determine why they are haunted.
21
According to Newkirk, There are three types of hauntings.
22
An intelligent haunting, also known as the classic haunting, happens when the ghost notices or acknowledges the people living in the house and interacts with them.
23
Think of Casper, or for something really dark, the haunting.
24
A residual haunting is when the spirit or ghost does not acknowledge or notice the people living in the house.
25
It may happen due to a terrible event that happened in the house.
26
And finally, there's the intentional haunting.
27
This is not a haunting by a spirit, but a belief that's so strong that it manifests a haunting.
28
These places attract attention from people such as kids or paranormal bloggers.
29
Whichever type of haunting you're experiencing, here are some tips to help you survive.
30
If you believe your house is haunted, contacting a medium may not be the worst idea.
31
A medium can visit and assess your home and see how strongly the ghost is attached to it.
32
A medium may decide that your house needs a sage cleanse, which is one of the oldest methods of getting rid of bad energy and unwanted spirits.
33
Burning sage is scientifically proven to remove 94% of bacteria from the air
34
and release negative ions that put people in a better mood.
35
And if it gets rid of spirits along with that, then you should probably open up some windows and doors so they have somewhere to go.
36
Mediums often recommend that you keep a sense of control and make a firm statement toward the intruding spirit.
37
This can include saying out loud that you want the ghost to stop or leave.
38
Remember, people who mock the supernatural are generally the first to be harmed by a ghost.
39
This is not the time to clown around.
40
And if you believe the movies, don't keep dolls around.
41
Especially clown dolls or anything resembling Annabelle.
42
Step 3.
43
Cover the mirrors.
44
The phrase, the mirror is your enemy, takes on a new meaning when your home has a ghost.
45
According to some cultures, spirits can become trapped in mirrors, so cover all the mirrors.
46
Step 4.
47
Stay with others.
48
We've seen this countless times in haunted house movies.
49
There's always a person who goes to check on a noise and never comes back.
50
If something is going bump in the night, have friends or family stay with you in the haunted house.
51
This will help assert your presence, and you'll be less likely to feel anxious and jumpy.
52
Step 5.
53
Wear sensible shoes.
54
If you do encounter something floating near you, you may want to be able to run away.
55
So wearing high heels may not be helpful.
56
Whether you do or don't believe in paranormal, you must get your home checked for carbon monoxide leaks.
57
Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause memory loss, confusion, emotional instability, disorientation, and hallucination.
58
If your home has a faulty or abnormally functioning furnace, it could produce carbon monoxide fumes, and they could poison you.
59
Often after the carbon monoxide leaks are fixed in the haunted houses, the hauntings stop.
60
But if the problem really is a ghost, maybe you woke up in a horror movie.
61
It's lucky for you, we have a solution for that as well.
62

O que você vai aprender

Com esse vídeo, você desenvolve três habilidades essenciais para a conversação em inglês: a capacidade de entender connected speech (fala conectada) em contextos informais, a prática de expressões coloquiais usadas em discussões sobre assuntos sobrenaturais e a habilidade de estruturar dicas de sobrevivência de forma clara e persuasiva. Além disso, ele é perfeito para treinar o shadowing em inglês, já que a narração tem um ritmo moderado e enunciação clara, ideal para imitar.

Ouça esses sons

No áudio, preste atenção em como as palavras se conectam. Por exemplo, "you've seen" se torna yuhv seen (com a redução de "have" para "v"), e "it's based on" vira its bayst on (com a elisão do "i" em "it's"). Essas ligações são chave para a fala natural, e praticá-las com shadow speech ajuda a melhorar a fluência. Outro exemplo é "don't keep" — o "t" em "don't" é quase silencioso, ficando dohn keep.

Fale como um nativo

Para imitar o ritmo do narrador, preste atenção na ênfase. Palavras como "survive", "haunted", "medium" e "mirrors" recebem mais destaque, o que dá sentido à mensagem. Use o shadowing em inglês: reproduza pequenos trechos do vídeo, pausando e repetindo imediatamente, tentando igualar o tom e a velocidade. Isso ajuda a treinar a pronúncia e a intonação. Lembre-se: na fala coloquial, frases como "maybe it's time to call" são ditas com um fluxo contínuo, sem pausas entre as palavras. Praticar isso diariamente com prática de conversação em inglês (mesmo sozinho!) faz uma diferença enorme. E não se esqueça: o segredo é ser consistente — até mesmo 10 minutos por dia de shadow speak podem ajudar a melhorar a pronúncia em inglês de forma significativa.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
