Haunted by a child? Thoughts?
Discussion
An update. Not good!
I was away today with one child, other child and wife at home.
She was having a bath, youngest was asleep, both cats were (strangely) in the bathroom with her. She sings some songs, changing to an old 1700s songs (it isn’t as weird as it sounds, she loves history and has just started working as an archeologist). When she sings it, she hears shuffling outside the door. She stops and it stops. She tries again, sing, shuffling. She’s pretty freaked out. She gets to the end of the song and someone pushes the door open!
She jumped out the bath and checked on the child, he was fast asleep. The cats wouldn’t leave until she did. They were looking at the door with their hair stood up whilst this was all happening.
This is the first time she’s felt really uncomfortable here. Oh dear.

I’m open to suggestions, but it certainly isn’t rodents (don’t look too far into me having just asked on another thread about a dead mouse in the garden!).
The whole footstep thing is still common. I’ve taken a look at some footage straight after hearing them, but there was nothing. Certainly not anything caught with the view on the camera. I will attach the view seen on cam.

The video was just showing the area being filmed. There was nothing interesting to see, apologies. The area that has most “activity” is at the bottom of the stairs to that area. See a previous video on earlier pages to see up and down the stairs and the corridor with regular footsteps.
The noises I mentioned earlier were explained later that day; I found the boiler locked out.
There certainly does seem to be more to report from my wife. It doesn’t explain my dad, in the original post, though.

Did we ever hear why the mixer ended up being thrown through a window?
To get to the other side?

I'm back.
Just got called into the bathroom. Wife having a bath (again?!), towel drops to ground, she looks round, tap was turned on. She was in the bath alone the whole time. Tap wasn't running before and towel looked secure.
Dodgy tap, quite possibly. She's not having a good time!
Genuinely, the most likely explanation is an as-yet undiagnosed mental illness. Not nice to hear, but worth considering as a real possibility.Just got called into the bathroom.

Sorry, not read the whole thread, been trying to avoid the ego contest.Who sung the song? If wife, asking for a haunting!
Happy new year everyone.
I didn’t think I had much reason to post, until today.
My son and wife were in the bathroom tonight. They both heard a child’s voice say “help me”. My wife tried to pretend she hadn’t heard it but my son said, “who was that child who said help me, mummy?”
My wife thought I was winding her up, talking up the drain pipe from outside (which I could probably manage if I so desired!). Alas, I was not.

When it first kicked off, she said, fire up Rightmove!
As strange as it sounds, you can get used to almost anything! My last house was brand new and I hated it. This is more interested, at least!
I’ve invited my father to a day at Cadwell, I’ll see if he will stay the night and I’ll be interested to hear his thoughts again after his previous bad night. Nothing seems sinister, though!

She's just not the sort for a wind up. I've got a friend staying soon (Cadwell Park at the beginning of Feb if anyone is going!); i'll see how he finds it.
Yeah, I've got more than enough on my plate at the moment, expense wise, so any equipment is rather low on the priority list. I still haven't brought the CCTV back down from the top floor yet!
