Though I read 7Christie’s practical and easy suggestion, I’m more inclined to vote for DogLet’s idea. I was going to offer the same. You might try 7Christie’s idea first because it is the easiest. However, with the level of experiences you’ve reported here, I’d suspect that whatever is influencing the bell will find a way to workaround that minor fix. If you don’t need the doorbell, I’d specifically remove it from the home so that it isn’t a continuous nuance. Don’t forget that even your own concern over the possibility of the bell ringing is needlessly introducing stress on you.
I haven’t noticed anyone mention the gifted Buddha yet. If you or your daughter don’t cherish that gift, I would get rid of it. If your ex-neighbor had any psychic or mystical tendencies, there is the chance that object could be contributing to your issues. Please recognize that I’m not putting all of the blame on that statute, but if you don’t love it, get rid of it to minimize the number of possible suspects. If you cherish the gift, then get it blessed or ritually cleansed.
Jenny, several of us who have studied/practiced any form of witchcraft can tell you that thoughts CAN manifest. In fact, though possibly a controversial statement, I would go so far as to say that Debi’s suggestion of poltergeist activity IS in fact a form of unintended thought manifestation. So helping your daughter to talk through her feelings - with you, another trusted family member or friend, or with a clergy - likely can start to reduce some of the paranormal activities. If you don’t mind your daughter finding your own concerning posts here, you might consider suggesting she read or even join the PNF for herself. We can be a judgement free outlet for her. For some, writing about concerning thoughts is as meaningful as talking about them; and, because writing is more permanent, for some persons, writing is actually a much more powerful form of therapy.
