Looking for help with a ghost

Sam,

I have had friendly entities as well as violent entities in the house. If you feel uncomfortable, be assertive and tell the entity to leave. I myself have experienced paranormal activities in stores, other people's houses, outdoors, and other parts of the country. I guess I'm a "ghost magnet."

My last physical encounter: I was visiting my parents grave site; after talking out loud, It felt like fingers tapping on top of my head (harmless).

I too have experienced children laughing and running in the house. I've seen handprints and footprints in the house.
 
Thank you everyone! I was a little afraid of the reactions I was getting because I asked before I read. I was upset, as we had a bad experience before. There was someone who helped, but I don't know anyone here yet who could be asked to bless the apartment at least. But this kind and supportive welcome helped calm me down.

Did you ever resolve the issues at the last house or just move to hopefully leave it behind?

My house is also a mix of furniture, mostly second hand or more, but with it came two people and a cat. One caused a few issues at first but has now settled down, the old lady has always sat in the same chair and the cat plays with mine. - So it is possible to live peacefully with them if they are good natured. The problem is in finding that out.


I suppose the place to start is to find out if it is a boy or not. This involves rather tedious searching of house deeds for past owners, then checking out their families to see if they had sons, checking what happened to them, looking up local cemetery lists for matching names (people don't usually get buried too far away just for convenience), and then checking out local papers around the death dates to see exactly what happened. This is usually stored on microfilm at a central library......It can take a while to do this, and can become a hobby (or at least it did for me).

Slightly quicker is to just ask some of the oldest people in your town if they remember anything about a boy dying in that property, but is usually safer to start with a general enquiry of past residents so as not to cause problems or label yourself as a nutcase.

You can also ask a local paranormal group if they can do some research for you - just the research as you don't want a house full of kids yet, and they can ask the questions to local historians.

It still won't give all possible reasons for it, but it may turn up something. It won't find anything if it was a friend who died there, or something from outside that has taken this as a place to stay.

It just depends if you want to know more about it or would just prefer it gone and you get a quiet life. Personally I'm inquisitive and like to know the history of what causes them to be there, but then I'm an investigator of this type of thing.
 
As I mentioned, we had an earlier experience. Back then, only my son could see the entity. But it started differently, with noises and moving things. It was a year and a half ago, and we lived in another city, not to mention another house. My son still calls it the evil house. Is there a chance that they are related to each other?

From a logical viewpoint... i would say it depends If both of the incidents Happening in both Houses are the Same?

Did you ever resolve the issues at the last house or just move to hopefully leave it behind?

Why ? I think ITS a Bad Ghost.
Interesting would be If the Boy appearance (or Same Kind of entity(Energy)) was already there at the old house
 
I prefer to study how different cultures stand for supernatural things rather than supernatural itself. So I wasn't so curious about the past of the house, but I was aware that we can't just move on, first we have to fix it. We usually ask a priest once a year to bless the house. But when the incident happened, I called him, told him what the problem was and asked for help. Then everything was fine again.

Only my son could see the visitor. For the first week, we only heard strange noises, objects disappeared, then they were there again. It wasn't frustrating, I have experienced these all my life. We didn't feel in danger. But then everything changed in days. One of the rooms was constantly cold, below freezing. My son said he saw a man there of who he wasn't afraid, at first. But I didn't think it was okay, so I tried to pray and send him away. But it only got worse. Two days later, my son said he was scared. Because the man was always there. Not in just one room anymore, he was following my son, and on that day, he told him to get a gun, put in his mouth and shot. Because the man did the same that's why his eyes were crossed (my son called dead people in this way). And if he did it, they could play together forever. Obviously I called the priest immediately. Then it was as if the sun was shining all over the house. Even if it didn't shine. Because I prefer to study cultures, I have no real opinion of what is possible and what is not. Therefore, there is a chance, in my mind, we weren't successful. Maybe he was just hiding, waiting until he was strong enough.

I have moved a lot in my life and I can say that I have felt one of the most positive our current flat of all. That's why I was surprised to find such experiences here, especially without prior bizarre things. Years back, all residents were childless. A family with two children has recently moved to the ground floor. But besides them, retired people live and lived in the flats whose children are grownups, or young people without children. One of the couple has lived here for 25 years, since then the downstairs family and we are the first to move here with children. (I found these out when we moved in, we always introduce ourselves to our neighbors and have a little chat.) Of course, there was no tragedy in our families, I also asked that. So far I have found out so much.

Despite the previous failure, based on Debi's link, I tried to send him out of the flat. For now, it looks like from the apartment he disappeared. However, outside of the flat, I regularly notice that I have a double shadow. I don't see him, but there is often another shadow beside mine. Every time if l leave or come home, the shadow come with me on the stairs from door to door. So I asked around to find the right priest, we don't have our own here yet. I found someone I thought was right. We'll see how it turns out.
My son used to have four ghost boy friends, they didn't cause any problems, they always behaved very well. That's why we didn't expose them. Obviously a shadow doesn't cause much trouble, but it bothers me. So, to live with him, it doesn't work for me.

May I ask if you are trying to improve your skills? Or are you just enjoying your gift?
 
Samaran can I ask if you are in the US or another country? You said your interest is in how other cultures see the paranormal? Is that the nature of your interest here? I think we were addressing your event in an assistance manner. As for different cultures and the paranormal, what is your question ?

Of course, I'm from the UK. That's not why I'm here. Rowan2222 wrote that she was driven by her curiosity to track down the past of the house. I don't care so much about happenings, it's more about cultural stuff and history. But even if I have read and heard a lot, I didn't know what to do with such a serious event. It was very shocking to me. To know and to experience is not the same.
But I follow the Haunting Question thread as well.
 
Sam,

In the past, I had an aggressive entity wake me up by moving a heavy nightstand by the bed. I didn't say or do anything. I also had an entity light up my entire bedroom after I went to bed. I didn't say anything either. When my friend heard those loud sounds in the attic: I decided to assert my authority then. I don't mind friendly entities that simply want to be acknowledged that pose no harm.

I totally agree with that statement. Which is why I have to say that if the suggestions of that link thread I gave you don't rectify the situation, it's time to move direct to clergy intervention. You have a child involved here, and that should be the greater focus. When kids are involved, it no longer matters what caused it or why. The only thing that matters is it stops.

We can guess the why's and what's for years, yet we truly don't know for sure. All we can do is make assumptions. We do know a few things that actually work, and one of them is a priest or clergy. So my advice to you, Sam, is find a priest who can intervene for you. Because of your child, I would be knocking on every church door until I found someone willing.
