Jules When i first moved in my childrens photos kept getting put face down and it was upsetting me, Len told me to ask them to stop doing it and tell them that they are nice children and that i loved them and tampering with the photo was upsetting, so i did just that and the photo hasnt moved since. Makes you think hey Lisa xx

Judy....Thats wonderful, thank you...will visit the site. :)

Julie....below I copied an ariticle from the paranormal research group I co-founded, South Jersey Paranormal Research....it was written by my sister Linda. Our group deals with situations like yours all the time. I have not been active with the group as of late due to other obligations but will be more than happy to get you in touch with someone from our group, via e-mail, who can direct you on such matters. Judy From our site - www.sjpr.org So you have a ghost... You've heard footsteps or other noises that cannot be explained. Maybe you have even heard disembodied whispers or felt something touch you. You think your house has a ghost! Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. You should not be afraid, however. If a spirit is trying to make contact, it is more than likely harmless. I have never seen a headline in a newspaper that someone was killed by a ghost! As a researcher, I have come to learn there are spirits all around us. Some people are more sensitive to them than others. The more attention you give to it, the more sensitive you will become. To borrow an analogy from another member of SJPR, imagine you are at a party, and you are the only one who speaks English. You feel isolated and cannot communicate very well. Suddenly, from across the room, you hear someone else speaking English. Ah! Someone to talk to! You begin to gravitate toward that person so that you can have some meaningful dialogue, or at least shoot the breeze! It is the same situation with a spirit. It is hanging around for whatever reason, and it wants to communicate. Since you are not on the same plane, communication is difficult, but it does not stop the spirit from trying to get your attention. When you give recognition to the spirit, it will gravitate to you and try harder to communicate. The events that have led you to believe you have a ghost are likely to increase. So what should you do? It depends on what you want. If you do not like the idea of sharing your space with a spirit, you can address the spirit by asking it to leave...nicely, but firmly. Explain that it's just not working out for you, and that it should move on. Encourage it to look upward, into the light. Tell it that is where it belongs. That may be all it needs to move on. You should also invoke the help of God. For instance, you could say, 'In the name of Jesus (or insert your Deity), I command you to go where God tells you to go'. I found that it worked for me when I had an entity in my home that scared the dog and other humans in the house. I told the spirit that enough was enough and that it had to leave. I invoked the help of Jesus, commanding the spirit to leave and go where God told it to go. It left within seconds after having spent the better part of two weeks with us. Afterward, just try to forget it. Ignore any other attempts the spirit may make to get itself noticed. You have done your part. Do not under any circumstances try to contact the spirit by use of a Ouija board or séance. You will invite troubled spirits that are not easily convinced to leave by doing so. If you have tried the technique as described in the former paragraph and you are still troubled by adventurous spirits, you can probably find a paranormal investigative group nearby where you live to help find out why it will not move on. If, on the other hand, having a resident or visiting spirit appeals to you, you can co-exist peacefully. If you are well-adjusted and not bothered by the spirit, then you can be assured that the spirit is friendly and content right where it is. More than likely, it is the spirit of a higher level that has made the transition through the light to God but has the ability to visit our world. There are safe ways to make contact. I would not suggest attempting contact, however, under any circumstance unless you take precautions. I discourage trying to make contact with any spirit if you do not have some training in how to do so safely. When SJPR attempts contact with a spirit, we always appoint a 'gatekeeper', a spirit we know to be protective and good, such as Saint Michael the Archangel, who was victorious over Satan and his demons. It is essential that you ask other good and wholesome spirits for protection against any negative spirit that may try to make contact. You can also ask your own guardian angel or spirit guides for protection. Only after you are sufficiently protected, should you proceed. Better yet, seek the help of someone experienced in spirit contact instead of trying this on your own.

Thank you Linda n Viv, its good to hear of others who have had n dealt with something similar.... :) Robyn... I'll call you when Girls arn't around...just got out of bed, not being able to sleep thro the night has sent my body clock into confusion!! Thanx xx

Hi Jules, I dont know if this will help you, when I lived in Germany I experienced something quite similar although I did not see anything. Items moved about ,one day in particular I came back from shopping went into the bedroom and every item on my dressing table had been placed on the floor at the end of my bed.... Really scared me, I contacted a chaplain he came to the house and told me that whenever I felt scared or worried or just felt uneasy to keep saying aloud go in peace. It worked, so I hope this is of some use to you. Take care, Linda.

Many years ago my sister and her husband purchased their first house. It was a victorian mid-terraced house. The house needed modernising and they set about re-wiring, plumbing etc.... My sister had an uncomfortable feeling about being on her own in the house. She heard tapping and saw a shadow on the wall...the profile of an elderly lady. She described what she had seen to her neighbour who told her it the was previous owner from the description. A few months later my b-i-l had a man come round to lay a new floor in the kitchin. My sister let him into the house as she was about to go to work. They exchanged greetings and my sister went off to work leaving my b-i-l with the man. The man proceded to start laying the new concreate floor. My b-i-l made him a cup of tea mid morning when the man said out of the blue to my b-i-l, 'Tell your wife the old lady won't hurt her, she just wants to see what you are doing to the house.' My b-i-l was gobsmaked. The man was a medium and gave my b-i-l a lot of information about the woman which was confirmed by the neighbour.

I just knew from your coded message that it was something like this! It must be something in the family, cos it's happened to me and mine. Do not worry about it, just talk to the boy and you will see they mean no harm really. Research the name etc that he gives you and try to solve the mystery as to why he's still at the house. Look at my email reply to your latest for my telephone number. Call me and we will talk.

Jules Yes they are still there, last weekend my cups ended up on the kitchen floor, fell from the cup rack onto the unit and then onto the floor rolling into the middle of the floor, i couldnt make them roll (handles) and they didnt break. The piano music is strange as it just sounds like a child plonking away and we dont have a piano. We went away over xmas and my brother looked after the house and everyday he came all the doors were open and he closed them every day, really spooked him... I was a bit wary at first but it doesnt bother meany more. Lisa xx

Jackie. Once accepted that must have been comforting. :) Tania.....All I know about him is that his name is Aron n he was killed by possibly an arrow, have maps from the local Library of the area, dated1403 n it was all fields, very close to where the battle of Tewkesbury took place, have a later map, dated 1843 n again just open land. Wouldn't know where to start.

Hi Julie it must be a bit disconcerting but hes just a little boy after all. have you tried researching his family as you know his name. Knowing a bit about them may help you connect to him Regards Tania

Before I was born my mum, dad and eldest brother lived in a house where a lady would play with my brother, he was 18 months old at the time. Mum would leave his nighttime bottle on the mantle but in the morning the bottle would be in his cot, empty. This did spook my mum at first, but eventually became comfortable with her presence in the house. A few years later they had to move to a bigger house. One day my brother was staying with our nan and she was showing him the family photo album, they came to one photo and he said thats my lady that used to play with me, it was a photo of my g grandmother, he also went on to say that her hair was different in the photo that she has her hair wrapped around her ears my nan was really spooked but apparently thats how she wore her hair later in life. My mum often wondered why her nanna had been to that house with them but not in any other house she lived in. Jackiexx

Hi Jules, You were obviously meant to have a bit of help then, some things happen for a reason Louisa

Hi Louise....will look into it....thanx

Hi Louisa......I did ask him to call in again when he's in the area....I didn't even ask him his name, was alil shell shocked at the time. Funny thing is...the guy that came shouldn't have came, was down for another guy the following day...!

HI Jules, Maybe you could ask the Boiler man to come over again so you can 'chat' with the young boy since you both feel comfortable with him. That way you could find out more about your visitor and explain to him that he scares you at times, and that even though you are happy that he likes to visit you there is a 'better' place for him if he wants. This way you have an idea of what he feels and you wont feel guilty if you ask him to leave Louisa

Thanx Kathy.....have attended a few Spiritual meetings in the past n found them very intereseting.... Diana....thats what I was told....his family are waiting for him but he wants to stay here...he likes it.

Thanx Lisa....Do you still hear the noises...??
