I've been living in my house since September last year. It's just me & my 4 daughters. In November my eldest daughter (17) was in the house on her own & sleeping in my bedroom when she saw the figure of a young boy enter the room, she described him as between the ages of 7 & 9, she was petrified & couldn't scream or move. The little boy was playing with stuff on my dressing table, she could hear him move things around. When she felt she could, she screamed & ran out the house bare footed n in her PJ's, only taking her car keys with her. This was at about 1:50am & drove to her friends, thro every Red light !!! when I returned the next morning everything on my dressing table had been moved n things placed face down. We had been hearing odd noises since moving in but just put it down to normal house noises, radiators cooling, floorboards settling etc... I've kept it from other 3 daughters & have since had the House blessed by the Vicar of the local Abbey. Nothing else happened (apart from the noises) but last week I had a guy in to fix my boiler. I was sat in the computer room & I could hear him talking in the kitchen (to himself!), he came into me & said there was a nice atmosphere in the house & had just asked a young lad to leave.........I froze!!......turns out he's a medium & picked up on the lad. He put his age range same as my daughter did. He told me about the lad, his name, how he died etc & how he likes being here with me & the girls.....then others 'came thro' with messages for me, everything was so right, things he couldn't have known. Before the lad (Aron) left he picked a bunch of Buttercups for me....but he said he'd be back. I'm a great believer in this but when it's so close to home it's frightening.....how can I put myself at ease with it? I know he wont hurt me & likes my company but I can't help being frightened of my reaction if I see him, or the others, apparently, I'm surrounded by spirits who want to contact me but I'm not letting them thro... Does anyone know how to deal with it? or has anyone expierenced anything similar?.........just need to put my mind at rest & not be scared of the unknown. Thanx.. Julie, who can't sleep at night!! :)xx

I'm sure I read somewhere Yogi Huges is a bit of a expert-if that's the right word with stuff like this and that girl who use to do the readings, forget her name- maybe someone will enlighten me. catherine xx

Jules.....I have never experienced anything.....but I would treat him like I talk to my parents during the day, when I am going around the house.... Just talk to him normally.....he must want someone to play with and notice him.....if you talk to him when you are relaxed, then you should not be afraid at any other time.... Such a little boy.....yes Jules, just talk to him....

Julie

Julie Report 15 Jan 2007 10:39

Sally.....I do talk to him, it helps. He is lonley & likes playing here, these houses are only 4 years old which is unusual to have this kinda thing going on but he used to play on the land the house was built on & likes it here. He doesn't understand what happened to him & that he has others waiting for him. I wish I could understand it abit more....I know that would help. :)x

WOW Jules....really interesting to read this...don't think I would like it going on in my house though! Louise Sharpe is the lass who is the spiritualist - she did a reading for me once - Very Good. Dont see her over here much nowadays - but Im sure someone could contact her for you over on the other website FTF, am sure Ive seen her on there! Good Luck Anyways! Kim X

I am really interested in all of this Jules.....what a story.....and I am glad you can talk to him.....my Mum used to say, there is nothing in the dark that isn't there in the light.....in other words, if there is anything there, it will be there in the light too..... Make a friend of Aron.....I don't know if you can find out who lived nearby in times gone by.... I once read about leaving a voice-activated tape recorder on in the house......and once I heard music on it.....it was a new tape......but again, this was a 5 y.o. house when we bought it....

Jules There is a thread on page 2 'Paul McKenna' that Louise has added to

Julie Report 15 Jan 2007 10:59

Thats right....I think I'm only frightened at night because its so quiet & dark. I am treating him like a friend, I'm a warm & kind hearted person & I think he likes that, he must see the love I give my girls & feels happy & protected here...?? Someone said to leave some toys out for him & let him know its ok to play with them. To start with the noises came from my youngest daughters bedroom, she's 4, used to hear someone up there but noone was. My mum said he was probably playing with her toys. She's not seen anything tho & nor have the twins who are 15 but youngest doesn't like sleeping in her room, say's she has nightmares but think thats cause she likes to cuddle up with me at night...........& to be honest, I love her cuddles too...lol

what are you looking to achieve sweets? Are you wanting him to go?

Julie

Julie Report 15 Jan 2007 11:11

Diana.....I don't know...I don't want him to be hurt by my feelings. If he left n was happy then yes....but then again...yes I do want him to go because It makes me very nervous n on edge. Thats why understanding him n his situation will help me accept n live normally. Loo....the medium who was hear told me if he makes too much noise just ask him to keep it down.

PinkDiana

PinkDiana Report 15 Jan 2007 11:11

Whatever you do - don't leave toys out at night..... if you want to encourage him to integrate into the family then night time means quiet time! Sit and explain the family rules and he will abide by them if that's what you want!!! I'd absolutely love it! ;o)

PinkDiana

PinkDiana Report 15 Jan 2007 11:13

Ok - get a tea light candle..... put it somewhere he is known to play and light it..... tell him to follow the light and join his family on the other side and to go in peace and with happiness! DO NOT BLOW THE CANDLE OUT!! You won't have any bother from him again!!

Jules i moved into my house 5 months ago, the cottage is about 200 years old and we have visitors. My children dont hear or feel anything but i hear loads, Piano music in the middle of the night, footsteps on the stairs, doors open and close, walls change colour, phots get put face down. I spoke to Len of the chilterns (bit of an expert) and he put me at rest, He said that i had moved into their house with my family and they were just welcomeing us didnt feel like it at the time. I am now a lot more relaxed as i offer no harm to them and them to me. My children are 10 and 13 and i would maybe do something if they became upset but fingers crossed nothing yet. MY sister in law has felt the presence who we have affectioately called Nick (the house has a servant on the 1851 census called Nicholas) We havent actually seen anything just heard loads and dont know how i would react if i did. Good luck to you Lisa xx
