Haunted by a child? Thoughts?
Discussion
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.

That's pretty freaky. On one hand you could say it was opened with the energy of an excited child - on the other, someone bigger or who possibly doesn't like that song or doesn't like the sound of a woman singing that song, for instance.
I suspect there are other explanations available, even if you've run out of hands. MJ85 said:

Not sure what area you are filming there, but if you are hoping to catch some movement why not put something in the view of the camera that can be moved, hang something from the ceiling or something ?Edited by Shuvi McTupya on Sunday 26th November 20:47

I don't know what 'this' is because I haven't been following the full thread - due to the trollish behaviour of a number of PHers.
Please look up the definition of 'troll'. Because, despite what you might like to believe, it's not 'somebody who doesn't agree with me'.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.

Well isn't that marvellous - you've got the ability to suspect.On a similar note, I'm capable of suspending my disbelief from time to time - you know, to consider all possibilities - even those unpopular with people like yourself.

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.
It does seem somewhat co-incidental that you have a ghost who seems to specifically dislike a particular era of music when it is sung by someone who has a keen interest in a particular point in history.I was away today with one child, other child and wife at home.

If I'm honest I don't read too much into the reactions of animals such as cats and dogs as very often they are reacting to the state of their human owner. For example, it is perfectly common for a dog to go 'on guard' when the owner is scared rather than because the dog as picked up on anything external. Cats are very perceptive of their owner's states also.
We also have an old house and several doors that will happily open themselves, one with a right old bang due to pressure changes in the house. One of them being the bathroom door and my wife started going a bit spiritual until I managed to show that it was a result of the air in the bathroom being considerably warmer than the rest of the house and that if I opened the window a crack then the door didn't move. Our ghost also never appeared when I was there but started to make more and more regular appearances as my wife became more and more excitable about it.
For a mildly funny anecdote, a very good friend of mine took his wife (scared of ghosts) to a very luxurious and expensive old hotel for their first wedding anniversary and as they were being shown to their suite the member of staff took great delight in telling them that the room was haunted. My mate's heart sank and he then spent the next couple of hours attempting to change rooms and when none were available they ended up spending the night on the bathroom floor as apparently the ghost wouldn't bother them in there as opposed to the hugely comfortable bedroom.
