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.
