Haunting Phenomena: The Smell Of Ghosts

Beyond visual sightings of apparitions or mysterious goo dripping from walls, one of the other signs of a haunting is the presence of an inexplicable – and sometimes unfortunate – smell.
The Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena has a page devoted to this matter of “paranormal smells” on their website. According to their research, a smell could be considered paranormal if it has no identifiable or even possible source.
Something truly out of the ordinary.
Oftentimes, the ghostly smell will be reported as familiar – such as a type of perfume or cologne once worn by a deceased family member, especially if it’s no long present in the home.
Even those circumstances, however, don’t necessarily mean that any given smell is supernatural. But let’s take a look at the possibilities.
Ghostly Odors
All of that said, not every paranormal smell, even a bad one, is a demon. Many cases of “ordinary” hauntings have involved inexplicable smells.
An investigation by Black Hills Paranormal highlights one such haunting. It was back in September 2008, when they were called in to check out the Lucky Nugget Casino in Deadwood, South Dakota.
They’d had reports there by staff of shadow people, odd sounds, and an unidentifiable smell of perfume.
As it turned out, that very same building had once been used as a brothel, and had a history of paranormal phenomena. To cut a long story short, one of the members of Black Hills Paranormal experienced the “phantom” perfume smell for himself, and even heard footsteps in the hallway. He was alone in that area of the building at the time.
Did he smell the scent of a ghost from the old days, wearing the same old perfume, who had chosen to hang around?
