Haunted by a child? Thoughts?
Discussion
Other than I'm making it all up!
I bought a "forever" project house in December last year. We've experienced a number of goings on that I'm trying to understand. The house is in two parts; one is early 1600s, other is 1700s. I can post pictures or whatever you'd like to see. Happy to hear thoughts!
Things that have occurred:
- Wife heard commotion in the master bedroom wardrobe. I had a look, nothing had moved
- Son, six, heard someone calling his name in his bedroom
- Son, six, saw a child in the garden that disappeared into bushes (have reaction on CCTV but actual area was out view)
- Wife saw a child in garden (not our children), looked again and disappeared
- Wife woke up to the bed in the master bedroom shaking
- Wife woke up to the bed shaking again, woke me up and I felt it too (nothing dodgy! ;-))
- Father stayed the night with just my older son (six). Heard footsteps in corridor that stopped at top of stairs (childlike steps) checked, child asleep
- Wife heard footsteps originating on unused top floor, heading downstairs to first floor and stopping outside bedroom near stairs to ground floor (childlike steps). Checked, child asleep. Footsteps like this have been heard three times, last one this evening
- Wife sees reflection of someone/thing in the kitchen from the living room regularly
- Finding lights on in rooms where they have been turned off, occurring more frequently over time and on a floor where there are no children
I know the house was used for the village for births as the local midwife lived in part of it. It was also owned by the local Baron, not that he lived here. Last occupants were an elderly couple, he was well known locally and elsewhere as a Ferrari restorer, he died in '98, but she lived here until 2015 before going into a home and lived a little longer. Unsure where he died, in the house or elsewhere. They had no children.
I don't think my father will ever stay again, he didn't sleep until the sun rose that night!
Is it all BS? Do I need an old priest and a young priest?

My sensible head says it's all b
ks, but I spent a summer in a farm house a few years ago as part of a harvest job and the place was just plain spooky. I couldn't put my finger on it but there was something about the place. Then the head man at the farm said one of the ex managers had it exorsised because there was the noise of a swarm of bees in there.
You could make it a tourist attraction.

Bee ghosts? Were they dressed as Victorian children?ks, but I spent a summer in a farm house a few years ago as part of a harvest job and the place was just plain spooky.

Worst 'I've got a pre 19th Century Haunted House that is worrying my wife and children and even though I am intelligent enough not to believe in supernatural happenings, I just need to put my mind at ease and also help my family overcome this real fear' ever.MJ85.
Cannot really help, but I hope somebody on Pistonheads will have the answer, good luck!

Describe the shaking bed incident in detail including intensity and what you did/ how it stopped, Did you get out of bed and feel vibration in the floor etc.
It was shaking to the intensity of a person grabbing the frame and making it move. Nothing extreme. It lasted 10 seconds. I thought about the floor, pipes etc. They all run on the outside of the wall and the floor is lime ash. It was odd and my heart was absolutely pounding. I'd felt similar, but lower intensity, when we had a earthquake tremor a while back in a different house. I even looked it up to see if there was any activity that night.Describe the shaking bed incident in detail including intensity and what you did/ how it stopped, Did you get out of bed and feel vibration in the floor etc.
