Hi all,
I am looking for some input or suggestions for how I might resolve what I assume to be a haunting in my house.
It's a fairly old house (1880s) and stuff has happened here since we moved in. It used to be my Grandfather's house, and activity generally happens around Christmas (like my daughter seeing a 'man'). Other things include moving keys and post, me waking up to see a man stood over me and hearing someone walking around upstairs.
On Boxing Day I went to bed, it was past midnight and I was awake and alert, and I heard children talking and calling out playfully downstairs. I heard them loud and clear, and it happened twice that night. Both my kids were in my room asleep at the time.
Anyway now my ten month old son's stuff has started disappearing literally off the face of the earth. Mainly his clothes. Since Christmas, separately a tank top knitted for him, his big wooly hat and most recently his duffle coat have gone from the house. The house has been turned upside down several times to find them, these things were absolutely definitely in the house when last seen, and besides his hat and coat are only used for walks and never taken off during those, there's nowhere else they could have been left, nowhere this stuff could be hidden, no one could possibly have stolen them, every possibility has been considered.
This morning, both toy cupboards were open when we came downstairs. There's one on each side of the fireplace, each has a double door, and both doors were open on each cupboard. They are shut at the end of each day without fail, shut firmly, and one set has to be shut to get to the light switch to turn the light off, which of course we do before going to bed. So we know something has opened them. My kids can't get downstairs, there are two stair gates. Again, we have covered all possibilities.
I'm gutted about my sons missing stuff, it's costing me a fortune- I had to buy a new coat today because of the weather. Plus it's unsettling, why his stuff?!!
Any advice? Similar stories?
I would really appreciate it.
