Woken at 3am to a male child calling for their dad?

Yes, there is definitely something passes through there, my friend. I can vouch for that! lol. I would imagine that possibly your neighbour's and your house are built on a plot where there was once either a farmhouse, or some sort of ancient dwelling, which has since been demolished in order to clear the site. I think if I was in your position, I would want to look into that... some old town plans or maps or something. It could be that the parents of a little boy who once lived there came to some sort of sticky end and he's now searching for them. I would make some enquiries back in time. He's obviously not harmful, but I find it interesting when a spirit regularly comes to a place... I have to know what the reason is... you know me!!! ha ha ha. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

Nothing so ghostly like that here. That does sound pretty mysterious. Maybe you could go to the library and do some research on the address. When I get wakened by a voice calling for daddy it is my daughter 1/2 asleep.

That's spooky Ellie. I have sometimes heard "voices" but usually they turned out to be cats crying. LOL. I am open minded about such things. If someone does pas through then I am sure he will feel calm and safe with you. XXXX

huh?i get cold and scared reading this topic.maybe there´s a kid killed in that area and nobody knows it.you should inform this in a police or asking neighbor if there is kid missing.how are you by the way Elli?long time no hear from you..when i was single i lived in a old house and i always heared the guy has deep breathing and hear walking but i dont see human.when i ask the neighbor said just ignore because there was a guy killed or hang himself at the back of the house.

That's scary!! I would freak out if I heard that and I was alone at night. But it can also be a prank that someone is playing!

I have a friend on the internet, that has a presence living in her home. She has told me stories, and for some reason I completely believe her. They have learned to live with the presence, in fact it is a little boy. It sound like that is what you have. I don't know who you would get help from. But sometimes they say if you talk to the presence and tell them to go into the light, that they will go away. Maybe this boy is looking for his dad.

I was reading one of your responses how the homes in your area aren't very old, so nix the idea of the typical old home theory of ghostly visits. Do you know the exact history of your area? Even though the homes may be "new" perhaps when they demolished the old homes there could have been some "mystery" attached to them..prior hauntings? Hey, it's not like a poltergeist kind of thing is it? Remember in the movie, the homes were built on former cemeteries???

Hi Ellie, I don't know very much about the spirit world myself but I have seen a little girl myself when my mum rented a very very old house and I seen this little girl twice both times it was when I was in the shower and I said to my mum that I had seen her and told her what she looked like dressed in a very old fashion nightie and I said to my mum to me I got the feeling that this little girl had drown, so my mum went to the local library and researched it and low and behold there was a little girl that had lived in the house at the start of the century and she passed away from drowning and I also wondered what the little girl wanted me to know but she didnt scare me at all, and reading about your ghost makes me think that this little boy has been lost and is trying to find his way home, nothing to do with the house itself could even have been years before the houses were build there but like I said i don't know much about it and would be interested to see if oyu are able to research anything about it and let us know what you find.

hi ellie..i think it might be a spirit or a ghost that missing his dad attention..or a prayer..i dont know exactly what thats means..hope evrythings okay..have a nice day

Hi Ellie..personally knowing how 'aware' you are of spirit that is is what you are experiencing, there must of been a boy at sometime tht was calling for his dad or couldn't find his dad so he is making you aware of it...huggles littleowl

I live in an old farm house and when we first moved in, we had a ghosts, a baby crying in the loft (before we renovated the place). I use to think it was my youngest daughter crying because she was only two at the time. I'd look around and then she'd (my daughter) would come in from another room smiling. At first it freaked me out, and all the family heard it. Then other times we'd see quick shadows pass the window, but it wasn't all the time, just now and again. That was just the first few years. Now after nearly eight years, I haven't heard the baby for a long time, and don't see our friends passing by the window, but they never bothered any of us,we just got on with our lives. I wouldn't say they've gone because you never no, because this house is four hundred years old. Anyway what i would do is see how things turn out, if you try to help, do you no what your doing...best of luck

it sounds like there is a family trying to make connections so they can be together on the other side.

Anybody checked the attic? Call the police. If they don't find anything, then call Ghost Busters. I tend to think there's a little boy being left alone somewhere and it needs to be reported yesterday to the cops.

I would have called to check on my son this morning. That is odd. But young children are more likly to hear things like that.

I used to have very young ghost in my previous location. My house overnight guests end up asking me who cried at night. It was a boy, blond, maybe 8 years old...one person saw the shade passing the wall(!!!)... Many people witnessed his presence. Parallel dimension or ghost, who knows... He was very playful, hiding my belongings, turning water off in my garden when I was watering and talking to my dogs, so they wiggle tails looking at the wall...

Hi Ellie - that's so exciting and interesting! I hope there is a follow-up to the story and maybe even a manifestation. Did you actually 'see' the couple who were looking for the child? If your neighbour had a similar experience, it does seem the little lad passes from one property to the next. Maybe in another time, there was a larger house built there? So intriguing - lucky you!

How strange Ellie. Have you ever thought of leaving a tape recorder on and seeing if any voices show up - like they do on Ghost Hunters? Sometimes spirits voices can be heard on tape, even if you don't hear them at the time. I've thought of doing this at Dad's place, to see if Mom says anything. But, I haven't been sure I want to do so.

Wow, what I find amazing is that your neighbour's son heard it also. I wonder what the story is. It sounds awfully sad being a child calling for his parents. You said you experienced a couple looking for him andI read in one of your comments that you saw them, do you often see spirits? Are you psychic? If they are all connected it appears to be a whole family who has passed over but they have not all managed to meet up on the other side. I wish I knew how to help them find each other so they can all move on! I wonder if an expert medium could make a connection with these spirits.

Maybe, just maybe, they are lost souls trying to find each other. Just because the house is only 11 years old and built on virgin soil doesn't mean that nothing ever happened on that land at all. Try talking to them when they pass through. I know that may sound crazy, but maybe talking to them would help. IF you happen to know the answer to what thy are looking for, or WHO they are lookin for, tell them. If not, tell them you do not know, but you would appreciate it if they would be quiet so you can sleep. My oldest son was only 3 months old, and every night, I would hear little kids playing with him. It owuld wake me up and I would still hear them and see my son giggling and raching up, yes, at only three months old. After the first time it happened, I really paid attantion to him at night. The second night, I asked them to please wait until daylight hours to play because we needed to sleep at night. It worked. They didn't come back at night, but during the day, I would hear them laughing and running all thruogh my apartment. They were not harmful, so it didn't bother me that they were there.

I haven't experience nothing like this before. That is strange. Did anything happen in the house before your neighbors moved in? I would suggest to do some research. I hope everything turns out ok. All the best, Ellie.
