I think my 2 year old is seeing a ghost at our house.....?

Question

I am renting a house and have heard footstep and experienced things being moved over and over again. I have never seen them move but my little statues are always facing a different direction, I move them back and within a few days they are moved again. I thought that I was just being silly or someone was messing with me because I do not really believe in ghost. Tonight my 2 year old was telling me that there was a little boy under our table (I did not see anything) and he wanted her sippy cup. She continued on and on about him.... she said he was scary and wanted new pajamas because his are yucky. She then ran into the kitchen and pressed herself against the wall saying that the scary boy wanted her sippy and was following her. I left and am now at my mothers. She told her all about the boys clothes, hair color, said that the little boy lives at her house too... Needless to say I am really freaked out, what would you do?

When I first moved in there was a bunch of furniture still in the house. My landlord told me that the people that lived there before me just took off and left almost all of their belongings... dishes, furniture, ect. She said that she thought maybe the husband and wife split up or something she wasnt sure. Now I am wondering if they had a similar experience... I never really thought about it before.

My daughter does not think that "the boy" is at my mothers house, she was just telling her about the boy that lives at her house. When we came in my mothers house she asked my daughter who is at your house hunny... my daughter repeated everything that she told me plus more... it was like there wasnt a doubt in her mind

Answer 1

First: If you are really truly freaked out, stay at your mothers.
Second: Talk to your land lord about what's been happening and see what they can tell you about the house.
Third: If they deny anything about the house and you feel they aren't telling you everything or you still don't feel comfortable going inside find out what you can about it's history.
Fourth: Move out.

Don't call any ghost hunters or exercisers unless the owner says it's okay and they know there is something wrong with the house. But either way I say move out.

Answer 2

Same happened with my brothers children over 10 years they had 3 children and 2 of their children were put into the room at the front of the house when they were too old for the nursery if ya get me so the eldest was the first and she screamed most nights that a man was standing by her window it got so bad they had to put the baby boy in the front room and she moved out of the room. a year later when the boy became a little older the same thing happened he could see a man at the window so now they have a 3 year old boy and hes in the front room but hes not seeing the same thing?? When my mum was 5 also she saw her granda in her bedroom one day when she was playing hide and seek and when my gran went up with her no one was there she was hysterical! Apparantly (if u believe in ghosts) children are more likely to see ghosts and expereince it because they are more in touch with it at a young age. When my mum went to a medium or what ever there called the medium mentioned the man in at the window to be her granda which she said yes and that he was the one looking after her and kinda like her guardian angel! So I believe that maybe the man my nephews saw was a late relative watching them. Do you know anyone in the family that has passed on that might be looking after them? maybe a boy who died decades before but was in the family maybe someone your parents knew a family member? Go to a medium or physic? They might bring something up? or bless your house some old rituals help pure the house like burning sage is it? Not sure but look it up anyway and burn it in all the rooms and leave windows and doors open when doing it, its to help spirits pass on? Good Luck

As someone who has had contact with spirits, I have no doubt there is a spirit in your house. Children do not make this stuff up and they are much more open than adults.

You may choose to have your house blessed by a minister or priest, but do NOT do an exorcism. That is worse than a ouija board for attracting dark energies. This is simply a lost spirit of a child, not an evil entity. He will not harm you or your daughter. He's trying to get your attention either to help him move on or to tell you something.

I would do some investigating to see if you can find out what happened in your house.

Don't tell him to go to the light. That is what he's trying to do - he sees the light in your daughter.

Burn some white sage, light some candles and relax into a meditative state, just breathe deep and relax. Then say a prayer for healing, peace and spiritual protection.

Archangel Michael is a powerful helper of discarnate spirits. Ask him to escort the boy to where he needs to go.

If you are open to it, I would suggest finding a reputable shaman.

Answer 4

First thing, never discount what your child is seeing! Kids are too often told to "get over it" or "nothing's there" etc. Children are still very "open". It is not until we are older that we are told what is real and what isn't. In my opinion, our natural gifts are squelched by society. We recently had a similar situation with my daughter seeing a "dead guy" outside her window. She was 2 1/2 when this started. She told me that she was scared of him and I told her that if she was afraid to tell him to go away and he had to leave. She would do this and he would go for the time being. After asking her details about him and verifying things, we found out that he was my father in law that passed on 10 years ago.

My advice would be to let her know that you believe that she sees him, but that you can't see him. I think it's important to establish that. Try to get her to talk with this boy, ask him what he wants. You may need to contact a medium to help him cross over. The most important thing though is not to make your daughter feel as though you think she is making things up because then she will be more fearful. She needs to know that you believe in her and will protect and support her. Good luck!

Answer 5

Ok, I am SERIOUSLY getting chill bumps, and I am watching Ghost Hunters right now. I totally believe that there are spirits. I would say, the first thing you do, is find out if someone died there, you can break a lease for that reason, if this was not disclosed to you. THEN, I would try to get someone to help the little boy pass over. You may feel its a waste of time, but on the off chance there IS a little boy there, and not crossed over, it would be a good thing to do for him, he does not belong in a house looking for a sippy cup, he needs to be in Heaven...

Answer 6

I would freak out too! I've lived in a haunted light house used during the civil war as a prisoner camp. Strange things and foot steps happened too but most times I paid no attention to them, I was 4 years old.

One day while in my room during a bad storm Suddenly saw my room very different, filled with beds and someone or something was in the one next to me. The windows were bricked over. I remember closing my eyes and than all was normal again. I still remember it and anytime I'm within 30 miles of the place I dream about that house. I can't explain it or the other things that's happened I really am unsure about ghosts myself. But it had a lasting memory on me and I'm afraid it may for your child for awhile. If you and your child don't feel comfortable there, move.

A home is suppose to feel safe and secure.

Answer 7

well alot of people dont believe in things like that but there also those that do say children do see ghosts from when they are born...my daughter was about 2 when i took her in the restroom in the middle of the night and she waived goodbye to the ceiling.. and just a couple months ago my neighbor across from me n then apartments died then a week later my daugther started sayin she would see someone and there was ghosts in my apartment...a couple nights later my neighbor came over and asked me if nething weird had been happening and when i asked him why he told his doors had been opening and closing by themselves.....if u really believe there is a ghost there are always them witch doctors that go in the house and get rid of the evil or u could always take holy water throw it around and put a cross in ur home....it is hard for ur kid but just let them sleep with u for a while and make sure she doesnt see nething else on tv or nething that might scare her even more

Answer 8

First of all, I am a believer of the paranormal. A lot of children experience things like this. I know it's scary but keep in mind he cannot hurt her. He just hasn't made it to the otherside. He is in a sense stuck here or in other words earthbound. Somebody above mentioned Sylvia Browne. I think she is fascinating, and a wonderful author, I have read all of her books including one you should read called Psychic Children. Does your daughter know this little boy's name? If not find out. Call him by name, and tell him he is dead and that he needs to go to the light. I would also do some research on the place you live in, find out if anything happened there or in the vicinity of your house on the property. Please pick that book up and read it. Very good, and will give you some understanding as to what may be going on here, and also some tips on how to get rid of him. Best of luck to you.

Answer 9

2 year olds don't lie about things like this. My oldest child sees my great-grandmother all the time, (he never met her) and is 26 months old. My 10 month old points to something moving across the room and laughs all the time when he's alone in his crib and bouncy seat as though someone's tickling him (I figure it's Grandma). I am a believer in paranormal activity, and would def. do some research on the house (see if any of the previous owners had a child die). Most likely, he's just lonely and wants a friend, not to harm your daughter.

Answer 10

that is really scary!!! But i don't think the ghost would follow you to your mom's house maybe your kid is still imagining it. I am so sorry and i wish there was something i could do. I say put up a camera next to something that seems to keep moving and facing other directions then when it moves go back to the video and see if it was by itself or a person...
