What would you do if you had ghosts living in your basement?
My oldest daughter just bought a house in Defiance Missouri, and I've been staying there until her wedding day. I sleep in the living room and just about every night I've heard loud noises from the basement, last night was the worst. I even heard a scream. I actually covered my ears with the blanket so I wouldn't hear the noises anymore. What should I do?

I never believed in such things until I moved into the house I now live in.
It had a ghost. A woman who died here in 1883.
She doesn't make much noise and seems quite benevolent or at least does not intend to scare anybody.
We speak to her by name, but there is no indication that she can hear us. The only weird thing about her (aside from her being a ghost) is that she is often colored green, red or blue.
Next time ytou hear it, go down and see if it is visible, try talking to it.

Well, technically, they're not "living" in your basement because they're dead and--
Well, if you were brave enough to go down stairs and actually see what was happening, you could see if it really was a ghost. If it is, then perhaps watching the haunting can help you figure out what is the matter, as sometimes ghosts will act out what happened to them over and over again, as they are often just impressions or memories left in the place where they are haunting.
If you can find any clues as to what happened, then you can do more research as to who is the deceased person haunting the basement and try putting them at rest. Go to the basement and try asking for a name (sometimes they respond!). If you're lucky enough to get a name, or do other research, such as what could have happened in the house before, you might put the spirit to rest by finishing unfinished business, like digging up and properly having a funeral for a body, or telling the living what the dead can not.
Have courage and good luck!

I am the ghost. I told her not to scream like that. She says she can't help herself sometimes. Sorry to have frightened you. We'll try to keep it down. Is it all right if we can come to the wedding? We can't eat or drink anything. It's just that she's so sentimental about these things. We won't scream or anything.

Go down there and check it out, or find a friend that will. Also, try to ask the previous owners if they had the same problems.

Have a priest come out and bless the house. I used to live next to a cemetery and I has ghosts in my house, but they didn't bother me.

Throw them a party. they can't leave the basement. They just want to welcome you to the neighborhood. Go and make friends. Don't let them think you are stuck up!

It depends on whose ghost it was.
It could turn out pretty cool if it was someone awesome.
