To think we may have a ghost?

Got up this orning walks into kitchen and every single drawer and cupboard was wide open!! The kitchen is small so was quite a sight when I walked in. Shock

No sign of burglary or anything. Safety catches on cupboards too as have a toddler.

Not the first time this happened, in other house my daughter had a wall full of posters. We heard a noise went upstairs n every poster was lying on her bed!

Also my 4 month old baby was moved from my bed to his cot.

Weird Shock

I used to have a lovely friend, gone now, who would lose the remote control to the TV or run out of tissues and immediately say a ghost had engineered these things. I did tell her, if I blamed a ghost every time I lost something in this house it would be like a scene from Poltergiest in here. Everything in my house is lost or moved or not right all the time. I had my keys in the dustbin the other day, and yesterday I did a weeks washing without fabric conditioner or soap powder. Its just me, losing the plot.

I put DD on the floor once and then forgot, she's just learnt to roll. Half an hour later I realised she was missing and had no idea where I'd put her. Frantic searching found she'd rolled under a table with a table cloth on and was just lying there thinking "hmm, this is new". You must have moved your own baby, even if there are things we don't understand, those things don't pick up babies.

I can imagine that what you have seen is unsettling though, so I don't want to dismiss it out of hand. What do other adults in the family make of it? can you set up a phone or camera to record?

Pinklaydee1302 · 23/11/2014 22:52

Iamfunny, every one of the posters came off the wall and lay on the bed,I'm not making it up n no the window wasn't open

Hmm, that's no so good then as you have no one to discuss it with and think oh maybe I did this or DP did that etc. How about when people visit, do they notice anything? Is there someone in RL you can turn to for support to get to the bottom of it?

Tammy1212 · 23/11/2014 23:02

Who else is in the house? Baby you and other daughter?
Maybe your daughter is sleep walking or you are

OwlWearingSunglasses · 23/11/2014 23:02

Then I wouldn't stay in that house. Especially after the baby being moved.

Its the fifth dimension tessarect from interstellar.

Tammy1212 · 23/11/2014 23:03

Also if it may be a ghost (I believe in them) you can burn frankincense insence in every room, get a white sage smudge stick and move the smoke through the house. Take sea salt baths to cleanse your aura

Has an ex got a key?

Pinklaydee1302 · 23/11/2014 23:14

Told my mum she thinks it's spooky but she believes in paranormal more than I do

I don't believe in ghosts.

I would set up cameras in my house if there were funny things happening.

DSis used to sleepwalk and wasn't aware of it at all. Actually, she wouldn't believe anyone until DF took a video of her. She was stunned when she saw a video of herself in the dark rearranging the pots and pans. It was creepy to look at.

BramwellBrown · 23/11/2014 23:15

How old are you kids? could one of the older ones have moved the baby?

For it to have happened in 2 houses I think it might be one of the kids winding you up.

Pinklaydee1302 · 23/11/2014 23:17

I know it looks stupid even to my eyes too but these things have occurred just a bit too often and now I'm questioning my beliefs

OP posts:
Pinklaydee1302 · 23/11/2014 23:19

Both my kids are freaked out by it n wished I hadn't told them as they are now afraid to go downstairs without me so don't think they winding me up at all

Set up cameras in your bedroom and the living areas. Don't tell DC.

Then you'll know what's going on.

Pinklaydee1302 · 23/11/2014 23:22

Lucky it might not happen again for months Hmm

Yep, sleepwalking. Definitely. You'd be amazed st the things you can do whilst sleep walking.

I second the idea of a motion sensor camera. Put it in your kitchen and prepare to be amazed.

Locking doors or baby gates doesn't work. Your unconscious mind remembers that you've done it and unlocks them. Confused

LuckyLuckyMe · 23/11/2014 23:27

Cameras can tape 24/7 and be set to erase after certain lengths of time. I'd prefer to know what was happening.

Stampysladygarden · 23/11/2014 23:34

I have a motion sensor camera which has captured my twattish landlord coming in when he shouldn't have been.

Discopanda · 23/11/2014 23:42

Is there any chance you moved your baby but were so knackered you didn't remember? I did that a couple of times when DD was first born. We actually live in a house that the previous owner died in, his ex-wife left us a Kabbalah book for luck when she moved out the last of his things (he was strict Catholic), the day after the book moved to a different room and then completely disappeared.

LuluJakey1 · 23/11/2014 23:47

I sleepwalk and sleep talk occasionally.
DH has followed me downstairs and watched me take all of his things from the hall table- wallet, phone, glasses, keys, and take them back up to bed, put them under my pillow and get back into bed.
One night in a hotel he saw me heading for the bedroom door and trying to get out. I couldn't open it and he said he took my hand and I went back to bed with him like a zombie.
At PIL he woke up to see me leaving the room, he followed me downstairs where I went into the sitting room and sat on a sofa. I would not answer him. After a few minutes I went to the garden door and tried the handle then turned around, walked past him, back upstairs and got into bed.
He has woken to me sitting up fumbling around the top of the bed saying 'I can't find it. Did you take it? I know it was you.' He asked me what I was looking for and I said 'My sandwich. And I know you took it.'

The next day I have vague recollections of it. I am not completely unaware at the time but not fully cogniscent.
