Something woo happened tonight.

[MissyPants]

As the title suggests, and I'm not sure what to think of it, so opinions welcome.
Tonight whilst my daughter (3) was in the living room, she came running up to me in the kitchen and asked me what that noise was in her ear as it wasn't daddy. I asked her what she meant, and she said something said (made said sound) in her ear, and what was it as it wasn't daddy. I thought it was a toy on the sofa so I turned it off. A few minutes later she came running back up to me in the kitchen again and said it happened again, who was it because it isn't daddy (he was upstairs asleep). So, I just turned the tv off and we went to bed.

Now, when I have been in the house alone sometimes I hear sounds or spoken words, but mistook this for being tired, as I'm often up late doing my uni work. I also sometimes feel cold brushes of air, or really loud bangs upstairs, like something has fallen off a wall or something, each time I've gone upstairs to check and nothing is out of place or has fallen. I'm only questioning all of this now because of what my 3 year old told me tonight. I do believe she wouldn't make this up, she was genuinely frightened as to who made the spoken sound in her ear. She was adamant something said something in her ear.

We live in a new build, first occupants, so not haunted. Also no one has died recently.
What do you think?

Could it be voices coming through an air vent and amplified by weather / buildings? I lived in a house that had a bathroom vent and in certain weather conditions, I could hear neighbours talking quietly at their back door from several doors away. The first time it happened was alarming because it was as if they were in the room, but quickly worked out who it was by what they were saying! The buildings were funnelling the sound, it was surreal!

we got a new fridge freezer recently, (mostly because i’m more than bored with the defrosting). this new 1 actually constantly defrosts itself; it also produces quite a range of noises I’ve never heard come out of a fridge before! That said the house was built in 1850’s we’ve also got croaking frogs in our pond early this year & there’re bats in the attic!

I remember the last time we bought a John Lewis freezer it came with a leaflet explaining that ‘gurgling, popping, knocking, whooshing, moaning and groaning’ noises were all normal operating sounds. It came with a little cartoon of someone jumping with alarm at his vocal freezer.

Maybe customer services were continually fielding terrified phone calls about haunted freezers.

How many flats are on your building?
I live in sixties built flat and here all sorts of odd sounds during the day and at night.

Mostly from neighbours but also from building itself creaking etc.
.

uncanny!

Perhaps consider having your house professionally space cleared. I do it as a hobby and the difference it makes to the energy of a place is remarkable. After my Father passed away I space cleared my parents home - my DM had come to live with me. I visited my parents house a few weeks later with my DD who was eight at the time and she immediately said something had left the house. She didn’t know that I had space cleared. I asked her what she meant and she said that something was gone that was there before … my Dsis had years previously had an experience in the house that led her to believe that it was haunted.

Have had alsorts of oddities happen in life from very very prolonged dega vu to knowing someone had died 24 hours before anyone told me and before anyone else even knew. There's way more to this world than science can explain or maybe to the human brain or maybe both

Some people pass on peacefully some dont. Some places have lingering essences, some don't. Some people can definitely sense it, some dont. I dont do anything about it, im not a god person, but equally I dont trip over myself looking for "logical" explanations that never really fit either.

Some things are just a little bit woo

The demonic realm!! 😂😂

I honestly have no idea if some posters on this thread are taking the piss.

I had a friend who had similar problems. She got a priest in to the bless the house. It helped a bit for a short while.

Friend then got a psychic medium in. Upstairs the psychic medium pointed to an African mask hanging in the baby's room. The psychic said it was cursed and to throw it in the bin immediately. The mask had been gift from a friend who had been travelling the world. Once the mask was thrown out all was calm again.

They’re all brainwashed

It doesn’t always go by how old the property is, it can be something to do with the land itself that the property is built on. My property is haunted and we have heard bangs, drawers opening and closing (No one upstairs at all). My grandson slept over a couple of times and asked me if I had ever seen a man in a black cape (I have but never ever told anyone), he said he saw a person in a black cape and it stood at end of bed then ran straight threw wall, this was exactly what I saw but I never told him, I made out that he might have been dreaming although he was insistent that he actually saw it and it wasn’t a dream, my husband put in a camera in the bedroom which is called the Orb Camera, we have seen a lot of Orbs flying around and then disappearing through the walls. We hear someone walking up the stairs but no one is there. I have (This is going to sound odd) felt limbs of young children on me, I’ve been woken up by hands covering my mouth were I cannot breathe, this is were I felt the limbs. I’m in an old property but I also know friends who have experienced going ons in new properties and when researching this it says it could be the land, it also said that children will see and hear more than an adult would. I would believe your daughter. Sorry not meaning to upset or scare anyone at all, just stating the facts.

I agree with you. It's horrible thing to have and often occurs during stressful periods. The feelings are so real.

I think I might say 'in the name of Jesus Christ go in peace' whilst burning sage, and I'm an atheist.

I visited a manmade cave attraction in Kent a couple of years ago. As I was walking out, something whispered ‘angry’ in my ear. It wasn’t a random sound, I felt it too. I wasn’t scared just surprised.

I have has a couple of woo experiences and seen a ‘ghost’ but I would call myself a sceptic. I believe there is more likely to be a scientific rationale explanation.

We are surrounded by strange noises all the time.

It's very easy to convince yourself something is there that isn't.

I'm at home alone. However...

I can hear a neighbour grunting somewhere
A vibrating sound (probably someone's alarm or phone)
The crackling of bubbles in the pipes
A plastic bag of clothes falling over in the bedroom
The daemon sultan Azathoth smacking its chops and capering
The wood in the floor tiles expanding
Someone shutting a ramch sliding door somewhere
Vague traffic sounds

It's nothing to worry about.

That’s the plot from an episode of Hammer House of Horror from the 1970s. I think the psychic had an extensive DVD collection.

Really? This happens in our house too.....it is the neighbours! At times, we can hear them rather clearly, particularly by fireplaces.

Sounds like the sort of noise I get in my ears when I have a wax build up. It gets a lot worse when I've just worked out, and does make popping sounds for about an hour afterwards.

would you say that to followers of other religions?

I love uncanny and woo in general fascinates me, but I did suspect that poor man had some serious mental health issues probably triggered by trauma.

I’m not religious, but this is excellent advice )assuming the op is in the West). Anything in the house is likely to either originate from the time when Christianity has been the predominant system or been exposed to it for a long time. One of the biggest mistakes is people trying to mix and match systems (although all systems at some point are mix and match inc Christianity it has been moulded into a coherent system - new age very much hasn’t been).

I would get it exorcised.

I would get it exorcised.

Hilarious. So you think that the OP’s three year old is being haunted by the spirit of a dead person who was statistically likely to have been a Christian of some kind, and will therefore respond to a random playing it Psalm 23 on YouTube or ‘calling on the Holy Spirit’ and obediently depart the building?

You really have to wonder.

When my youngest was in her baby walker she would focus on a corner of the lounge ceiling. She would smile as if someone was talking to her. When a bit older she would say a boy called John was sitting on a cloud. I'm a very cynical aethiast but found it all a bit woo.

Oh for heavens sake, if you don’t know anything about the psychology behind these things don’t bother.

Maybe look into spiritual systems and how they form. The 19th century occultists discussed this in depth is you’re looking for a starting point.

You clearly have nothing to add here do you?
