I'm going to share a story with you all... put in your two cents and let me know what you would do or where you stand.
In 1957 a small house was built & sold to its first owners (whom are unknown at this time). As years went on families lived their lives here uninterrupted, all moving out prior to meeting their demise. Until recently, a family moved in to the home and a few of the occupants are experiencing something "different" in one of the bedrooms.
"It began almost 3 years ago when my then girlfriend & her kids moved in, my son nor her son would sleep in the room soundly- usually they would scream until you moved them into a different room then they would sleep all night long" the gentleman of the house continues "I slept in that room forever and nothing ever bothered me but I hear that kids are more open to seeing those sorts of things so I don't know. But now it's rare for our baby to go through the night without waking up talking to 'himself' or one of us hear something come through the monitor."
One night while her husband was in the restroom she heard a distinctive "shhh" through the monitor soothing her crying baby who was fighting sleep. "I thought it was my husband calming him down so he would go to sleep- it was a repetitive 'shh shh shh shh shh' like you would do to soothe a baby that was upset." Upon finding out that her husband was in the restroom they argued assuming that he was trying to pull her leg.
That following night as they sit in their bedroom relaxing and taking in that the children were in bed- the baby began to cry again- within 3 minutes of the crying it started shh shh shh shh shh... Wide eyed they stared at one another "I told you! I thought that was you last night!" Clearly it wasn't him tonight though. What could it be? WHO could it be? Had someone died in the home? Was someone buried UNDER the home? Ideas began flying around but upon research there were no answers to explain what they had heard. The old property was once a horse farm that belonged to a wealthy family that sold the entire lot to build the neighborhood on. From what research had done done about the occupants, on one died in the home and no one had any issues in the home with "visitors" being there.
They all dropped it. It was simply a break in the monitor- nothing major. That was until 4:14am one night when the man of the house was abruptly awakened by a clear "HEY!" through the monitor. "The red light lit up and everything- as if someone were talking directly into the monitor in the baby's room. I asked my wife if she heard it but she had been so soundly asleep she didn't hear anything. It startled me. I don't know much about spirits but I do know what I heard and that was not the baby, this voice was clearly a female. Younger but not a kid, Perhaps in the late teens to early 20's."
Time went on and it seemed as if things had stopped. Maybe it moved on to the light? Maybe it was simply a figment of their imagination? Or was it laying in hiding?
One night at exactly 1:15am the baby woke up SCREAMING, both parents ran to check on him, it was unlike him to do this. What was causing him so much turmoil? They searched under his bed, in his closet, in the bed itself for anything that could have startled him without any luck. "He jest kept jerking his head back and forth around the room screaming. We didn't know what to do! Finally about 2am he did the unthinkable, he just stopped, he laid back down and went right back to sleep. Whatever it was had stopped or had went away."
How strange for a child to just begin screaming for 45 minutes while searching the room for something in his frantic cries? That next night as upset as she was- the mother went in the babies room and said to the thin air "I don't know who you are or what you are but please, he needs to sleep tonight as do we- we both have early mornings and we were up really late last night due to you- please give us a night of sleep!" With that- the baby slept a straight 12 hours- how comforting that this being listened... for that night any way.
Things began to pick back up for the family- it became an every night thing for a while until the baby was injured- the parents entered the room on a mission. "Please, today was a long day- I don't want to have to tell you to leave the house- but please just leave him alone. Watch over him but do not wake him up. If something is wrong with him wake ME up- but leave him alone."
The mother now states "That was a mistake! I gave it permission to leave him room, it knew that I knew it was there- and it knew that I was all around the house at any time of the day. That's when a few things started happening to me. Sitting on the couch with my husband and we are discussing 'it' when a toy car moved across the living room floor about 4 feet by itself while the baby was asleep and the other kids were at school. That scared me and I told 'it' that I was not in the mood to play and to please go somewhere else while we finished our conversation. That next day is when I heard the tapping..."
Once in the living room that was blown off as wind catching the screen door, and another in the kitchen as she was fixing a drink that she too blew off. Being alone in a home is boring in itself I'm sure you start to hear things eventually. But how would you react if it was in your baby's room RIGHT in front of your head? This mother was putting away clothing in her child's drawer and directly on top of the dresser (about 4 inches away from her head) and heard a distinctive knocking on the dresser. As she turned paper white the knocking stopped and she snapped "you were ok when you were shushing the baby but now you're just trying to piss me off!" That was the last occurrence Mom had with this "being" but was definitely not the last that her boys had.
The oldest of the boys was taken in the bedroom and asked if he remembered sleeping there upon which he quickly replied "yes! I not sleep in here no more?!" How do you respond to that? With a definitive "no honey. Why don't you like it in here?" As horrible as it may sound to drag that back out- you want to know what you're dealing with- right? He stated that it was a girl, that she was old and she had dark hair like daddy. Whom could this be and why was it messing with the children?
With a little more digging I have read that when a person moves on to the other side (or trapped in the middle) that in some cases the spirit ages as the person itself would. I dug a little more to discover that the previous owner had 4 children, almost 5. She had a miscarriage at 9 months (what we call now a still birth). This still birth was approximately 23 years ago. Could this be her child coming back to play with a baby since perhaps she never got to have her own? She was conceived in home and technically started to die in the home.
But why didn't anything happen prior to the new occupants? Was it someone that "brought" with them unintentionally? The mother has always had a "sense" that someone was always with her- but who? Is this a miscarried child from the mother of these boys? Is it perhaps a sibling of the mother that passed along?
I suppose we will never know what truly is in the house unless a psychic or "ghost" hunter is called in to check things out. Until then- they will live with the extra being- reminding her that the baby has to sleep and to stop scaring the kids.
Well what do you think? Any input for the family? Or do you believe it's just a funky ghost story?
Do you believe??
