House Ghost?

goldengirl that gave me goosebumps. YES defently children can see things that we adults can not. Had a similar thing happen when I was a child, my brother would see this man but it was not a pleasant affair as it was in your house, it was very scarey and my brother did not speak for a whole year after he saw the man, it was horrible. Its great that you do not feel scared and you say you hear laughter thats good too, I think there are good spirits and bad ones, you obviously have a good spirit

So THAT's where DH got to!

My son was adamant that a man used to come and visit him at bedtime and he called him 'Mr Gaga' and I would often hear him chatting away - not sure if he really saw anyone or if it was just a make-believe game. However, I have seen a ghost and had another spooky experience! So I would never say never.

My youngest son was two and a half and was playing and chatting to no-one at the far end of the lounge. DH said to him that it would soon be bed time. He looked up and said 'But grandad cant come cos he too big and Jody mustn't to' When DH picked him up to take him to bed he looked over DH's shoulder and said ' Night night Gandad, night night Jody'

My father had died over a year before he was born and our dog, Jody, had ran away two years before. He never knew either.

This and the little black boy who came to me whenever I was unwell and my children experienced the same thing when they were very ill leaves me in two minds as to whether there 'is anything beyond'.

A friend's aunt (mum's sister) does readings for friends and family. My friend is convinced her abilities have been passed on to her great niece (friend's grandchild)
After my friend's DH passed away my friend heard her DGD talking in the garden. 'Who are you talking to darling'. 'Grandad' came the reply. She was about 5 at the time.
Don't know if this one is true but I remember my mum telling me years ago that her mum was laying in bed one night when she hear footsteps on the stairs. The first step after the half landing creaked and she waited for her merchant seaman husband, mum's father to appear (he had been at sea for 10wks) but he never did. She received the telegram the next morning.

I suspect there are a lot of things we cannot access as we get older which will one day be 'discovered' and we will be taught how to use them. I used to get quite a lot of unexplainable precognition but not for many years now.

I'm relieved I'm not alone. DH is very sceptical. It is strange that children can see things that we can't. I've never seen anything but as I said earlier I have heard footsteps which DH suggested might be the radiators or perhaps even the cats!!!

golden girl

Years ago I worked for a company who rented out a cottage at Studland Bay to staff.

One night I was sitting with my mother and daughter in a 'snug' room and the empty plate on my lap literally 'flipped' up in the air. About an hour later my daughter, who was very young started to wave at the corner cupboard high on a wall by the staircase. I said "What are you doing darling", "She said, waving at the lady mummy". She then said she had just gone up the stairs.

The stairs led to the bedroom where we were sleeping, with our daughter. That night there was a foul smell in the bedroom and we thought it must have been a dead animal in the thatch. The next night my daughter said she had seen the lady again, who smiled at her. I refused to stay in that room and we exchanged bedrooms with my parents, who never had a problem and the lady never came back.

Bonkers, yes but when it happens to you it is very spooky. You have to experience it to not find it a load of nonsense.

Aka my friend's husband passed away unexpectedly some years ago, she is a home baker/caterer and he had bought her a new food processor for her birthday not long before he died. Some months later, at 5 a.m., the household was woken by the food processor coming on. It was just her and her adult daughter in the house and both of them found it inexplicable and are slightly embarrassed to recount the story. So no reason for them to have made it up.

I shouldn't believe in anything like this as it goes against my training and beliefs (or lack of them) but I have experienced certain things I cannot logically explain. In particular there was one house I lived in as a child when I had horrible feelings of evil in the attics, one room in particular. More recently I have experience toys turning themselves on when I have been alone in the house.
