OK, new ones

[BigDan]

I usually stick to only reporting what happens to me in the house. But, I'm up late tonight at the computer and my wife just came out from the bedroom and said I woke her up, calling her name.

I told her I've been out here and haven't said a word. She said it is like the third time in the last week. Perhaps, she is dreaming, or perhaps our ghosts are waking her to come tell me to go to bed? I don't know...but, I'm going to bed.

So I went to bed early this time, and my wife feel asleep on the couch. She says she woke up facing the cushions about 5am, and roled over...as soon as she did, something felt like it ran past her shoulder and arms...and then she felt two small hands grab her knees.

She screamed and heard someone laugh. She's certain she wasn't sleeping when it happened.

I know she screamed as it woke me up. I don't know why our house ghosts have decided to pick on her lately. I don't think it is my "old guy" budy...but the little kid spirit she's told me about.

Sounds to me like you need to get ahold of a camera and snap some pics. I am not cool with that stuff. I can handle the occasional footsteps and noises and stuff but, when it comes to personal space, I am afraid I would by all means make that thing go back to where ever it came from!!! Call in the priest!!! Tim

Talk to the little kid and set some rules for her / him and insist they be followed. Talk to the child often during the day to help make it feel included as part of the "family". Pretty soon, he / she will get bored and go somewhere else.

I gotta go with shortstack on this one. My wife is fed up and ready to call Rob Conover....the local get rid of Ghosts guy. But he would clear the whole house and I kind of like the activity. I figure if they want to leave, they probably can...so I don't think they are trapped.

Tell you guys what, I'm going to write a note to all of them (I've only ever encountered the old guy but if I believe in one.....kind of have to believe my wife too, I guess.) I'll ask them to be more respectful of my wife when she is trying to sleep...or the party may be over.

And, I've already made a promise to them NOT to chase them around with a camera...but I WILL leave a pen next to the paper if they want to write back.

Quick modification...I stuck the pen through a paper plate and cut the plate into a little circle so the pen is sitting almost straight up on the paper! I put it right by the couch, on the coffee table. Now, if her "kid" can read...maybe we'll get somewhere. (People must think I'm a nut. but seriously....this house is amazing!)

On one episode of Ghost Hunters, the guys made contact with a young boy who had gotten killed while working in a textile mill and they found out the he was lonely. He was the only little kid there. Jason told him that he could come home with him because he had a lot of kids to keep him company. Maybe the child playing tricks with your wife is just lonely. I've heard that to the spirits, our night is their day; and vice versa. Maybe you could put out a light weight ball for him / her to play with that wouldn't use up their energy too fast.

Anyway, as long as the spirits are friendly, why not make them part of the family? Just tell they very forceably that there will be NO dangerous or hurtful tricks played and they are welcomed to stay and all MEAN spirits must leave.

Without going into a lot of detail here, I believe in the spirit world and a neighbor lady who passed over several years ago used to stop by to say Hi by making the smell of blueberry pie. When she was still on this side, she brought several blueberry pies to us, at different times, after she found out that my Dad liked them. One of my Uncles, who passed over in my old bedroom from throat cancer, used to come by and leave the smell of cigarette smoke. He was a lifelong smoker of Pall-Mall non filtered. That plus whiskey was the root of his cancer. He was one of my favorite uncles.....he was cool.

After my Dad pass over from Parkinson's about 3 years ago, he has stopped by a few times, too. He showed my Mom where she'd dropped a $20 bill and it slid under the couch. My Mom thought she'd dropped a $1 bill and couldn't find the thing that day. The next day, when she walked into the livingroom, the end of the $20 was peeking out from the front of the couch skirting, in the same area where she had looked the day before. Her wall clock that is a windup pendulum type clock, stopped 2 times in a row at the same time.........17 minutes before 1 o'clock. We THINK that is the time he crossed over. When his Hospice nurse came by at 6 A.M. , she found he was "gone". My Mom had thought he was just sleeping good and just adjusted his bed covers. Rigor had already thouroughly set in, so he'd been gone for a few hours.

Thanks for sharing those shortstack. I'm obviously right there with you in believing in the spirit world, or whatever it is. As I've often said I don't usually share my wife's stories. But the experience with the money you told me about reminded me of something that happened to her before we were married, and she says I can tell it.

She was divorced soon after she moved into the home we now share. Her old wedding rings were kept in her jewelry box and she obviously never wore them. One day she noticed the rings were gone. Seven or eight months later, she was dusting and had just dusted the dresser. She'd placed all the items on the dresser on the bed, including the jewelry box. She turned to the bed and picked up some things to put back on the dusted dresser, and in the middle of the dresser, on top, were the rings.

I like your idea of leaving the toy out for the child. I left him that note (hope he can read) telling him to leave my wife alone while she's sleeping. The last two nights, he's behaved. Still don't know what happened to my old guy friend....that's one problem with these things, they don't stick to a schedule.

BigDan:
That child might not know he's crossed over. Or he may know and is not sure what to do now and is just waiting in the area he's familiar with until his Mama comes to get him. I wonder if you were to pray to God to send an angel to help this child (and the older spirit) to find their way; if He would help them to cross.
Anyway, if you treat the child spirit as you would you own child as in playing AND discipline (when needed), then things should go good.

No problem. The one spirit I always invite into this home, is the Holy Spirit. The Lord knows this man needs all the direction and guidance he can get...and I'm always asking for it. Don't always follow it like I should...but I try. I've asked for help with every soul in the house...and expressed my concerns that they be able to leave if they chose. I believe if they need to cross over, the Lord will take care of them. I admit to selfishly hoping they stick around, at least the old guy....but as far as I know he might be gone already. Or, maybe it's the same spirit taking different forms? Who knows.

Well, Dan, sounds like you and your wife have everything under control. Wish y'all the best and tell your "friends" I said Hello.
