My home was built in the 60's, meaning that stuff probably went down there.
When my parents were looking at the house, there was just bottles of holy water (and possibly sage) in the basement.
They were all from the years 1996-1999.
We knew something was off about this, and we wanted them to just take the holy water with them.
We still have the holy water (none of the possible sage though.)
But I do think that they have a good reason why, and here is my experience with some ghostly activity.
One day, my aunt left her dog at our house so we could hang out with the doggo because we were still getting used to our new dog.
The morning after the drop off, I awoke to some growling noises from under my bed.
I looked around my room and my aunt's dog was nowhere in sight. I had reason to believe that something was up.
Long after this particular activity, I got chills and a sense of presence whenever I stood in the middle of my room.
So, I took out my EMF detector, and started hunting away.
My EMF detector started to hit red, and that's where I just turned it off and thought about the events leading up to this particular day.
Now this final story may sound stupid, but I feel as if something went on.
As a joke, I put my magic 8-ball on my bible, and put a cross next to it with my friends.
I said are you a ghost.
"no."
We sighed and continued on.
Later, we took away the bible and cross and asked are you a ghost?
"Yes."
Are you evil?
"yes."
We freaked out after that and we stopped.
I know that last story sounded stupid, but I thing something went down there.
Let me know what you think down below, and if you have something to say about any of these occurrences, ask, and I will gladly answer!

As with Aliendewd and rynne, I'm unclear as to why being built in "the 60s" in particular would mean that "stuff probably went down" in your house.
I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the responses you get from a Magic 8-Ball. Some preliminary research indicates that it "was developed as a promotional product commissioned by Chicago's Brunswick Billiards company" (www.britannica.com/story/where-did-the-idea-for-the-magic-8-ball-come-from) and that it "contains a 20-sided die with 10 positive answers, 5 negative answers, and 5 vague responses" (britannica.com). This means that 50% of the time you ask it a question, you'll get some sort of "yes" response.
You state, "My EMF detector started to hit red, and that's where I just turned it off and thought about the events leading up to this particular day." Have you taken a baseline reading of your room when there doesn't appear to be any paranormal activity, so you can compare the readings? This would probably be useful information *before* you try a Spirit Box session in your room. For example, you may be able to identify if the presence is legitimately there all the time, some of the time, or merely the results of EM leakage due to old/faulty wiring. Also, were there additional events that occurred in your room, or elsewhere in the house, that you did not include in this story but were instrumental in your decision to perform the EMF sweep?
Please consider carefully when and where you perform a spirit box session, as contact with the supernatural can stir up spiritual activity to an unexpected degree; for example, I'd avoid doing it in your basement. If you do go ahead with your Spirit Box, please let us know your findings.
Take care,
Biblio.
