I’m new here, first post. We built our house in 2005. The developer who sold us our property—who was probably in his 70’s at the time—told us that many years ago his grandparents home was in this spot when he was a child. But it had been woods for years before he started developing the subdivision.
The first strange thing that happened was a few years after we moved in—I was at work one day and a housekeeper called and said that she had left and would come back to finish on a day when somebody would be home because the rocking chair in the front room kept rocking on its own and she was afraid to be there by herself. I had noticed that every time I went into that room the rocking chair was pulled out away from the corner toward the middle of the room. I had always just pushed it back to the corner and assumed one of my kids had moved it. We were a little creeped out but ended up just getting rid of the rocking chair. Then over the years we’ve seen glimpses of different things, like a tall figure in the entryway. Also my husband and I have both seen a little boy in a blue jacket and a young man in a blue jacket in the yard. What’s creepy about that is that when my son was little I saw the little boy out back several times—just glimpses of him. Then years later my husband was in the garage and thought he saw our 16 year old son walk by, but he wasn’t home. He had another similar experience and said both times the guy was wearing a blue jacket. There have been a lot of other little weird things like that—too many to list— that could maybe be explained away. The one really creepy undeniable thing that happened was one time in the middle of the night I had just returned to bed from the bathroom and felt that someone was looking at me, looked up and could see the outline of a little boy standing in the doorway. At first glance I thought it was our son, who was 9 or 10 at the time, but then I realized the boy was smaller, like a 5 or 6 year old. Our dog who slept on the end of our bed stood up and started barking , and the figure crept in—playfully, like a kid sneaking up on someone—and crouched down at the foot of the bed. I started screaming and woke up my husband and he turned on the light and nobody was there. Our kids were in their beds asleep, and we searched the entire house because I was convinced there was another child in here somewhere. That was the creepiest thing that has ever happened to me. I still sleep with the covers over my head, and I get the feeling pretty often when I’m in bed that someone has walked into the room.
This morning I was here alone with the dogs and our 4 month old puppy went into the breakfast room and started growling and barking—weird because he’s not much of a barker. There was a Christmas ornament on the buffet and I assumed he thought it was a ball and wanted it. I started videoing with my phone (because he’s new and cute and I take a ton of pictures and videos of him). Then I started thinking that he seemed afraid of something and kept backing up like something was scaring him. Then I saw—with my eyes, not through the camera—like a beige fuzzy ball thingy, about the size of a baseball, shoot up from the floor in front of him toward the ceiling, right after he had backed up like something scared him. So I stopped recording and watched the video and sure enough it’s on the video. Several other times too. Hopefully I can post it sometime and get opinions.
Sorry this is so long and all over the place. Thanks for reading, and I would love to get your thoughts!

I have experienced something like that,a beige coloured ball rolling down my hall,this thing also had an electrical,charged sort of look.In a different house we had a little boy ghost,I was blaming my kids for things getting broken around the home and them telling me it was a little boy ghost.I doubted it very much until I was pushed down my hall and into the metal bath cracking my head in the fall,I could make out the see through boy entity of about 8 or 9,so be careful as I think some of these types of entities have a bad or at least mischievous agenda.Welcome to the forum Dawn.

Hi Dawn, and welcome. I'm not a ghost guy, but I do find the reoccurring "blue jacket" interesting. Does that mean anything to you or your husband? Does the jacket look to be modern, or does it appear dated? What level of detail can you discern......buttons, snaps, or zipper, for example? Does it appear to be military in nature, like the children's sailor suits that were once popular? Was thelittle boy in your bedroom wearing the blue jacket? Identifying the jacket to some degree might provide clues as to the identity of the boy/young man you've seen.

Also, you mentioned the developer who sold you the land. Any idea if he's still alive?

Thank you!
In the video the ball appeared to be illuminated, but what I saw at the time was more like a big ball of fuzz, but it moved quickly upward and toward the wall. That’s the only part I saw at the time, but on the video it then moves in a zig zag pattern on the wall around a grouping of black and white family pictures.
Your experience sounds terrifying!

That's what this thing I saw looked like at first,I opened my bedroom door hearing a noise and saw what I thought was some kind of furry animal rolling down the hall.I shut my door quickly but opened it to take a second look and it was sitting in my doorway,I then noticed it had sparks coming from it.A couple of weeks later my brother was minding the house and witnessed the same thing,his pitbull attacked it,frightened,this dog was scared of nothing.I had not mentioned it before he told me about it.The little boy ghost was one of two times I've been physically assaulted by an entity, and yes it was terrifying even though I'd experienced a lot of paranormal stuff.

The jacket I saw on the little boy reminded me of my early elementary school days, which would have been mid 70s. It was a weird light-medium blue that you don’t see much anymore, and like a nylon winter coat with a hood. And the hood was up on his head. My husband didn’t notice details, but when I asked about the shade of blue he described it as a medium blue.
The boy in the doorway was more of an outline or a shadow.
The man that sold us the land died a few years ago and I’ve been mad at myself for never asking him about it, because I always meant to. He went to our church and lived about 4 blocks away from us, his wife still lives there. His family owned and developed a ton of land in this area and all of the streets are named after his family members. One of his sons is a builder and recently built my in-laws’ house. I’ve been tempted to contact him about it, but it’s kind of a weird thing to ask someone.

I'd ask him, worst he can do is tell you he doesn't know. Giving him the description of the boy/young man in the blue coat might spur a memory of a photo he might have seen or even possesses. He might also be willing to approach his Mom to ask her if any of your experiences sound familiar.

You’re right. I should ask while his mom is still alive. Who knows, it might immediately ring a bell with him.

This is a still shot of the thing from the video this morning. I’ll have to figure out YouTube because the video is what makes it interesting.
