I was outside having a smoke & reading after lunch yesterday & out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man enter my house...it was a dark figure, I know it wasn't hubby as he was being a couch potato & it was way too tall to be one of my dogs standing...it was no one as there wasn't anyone else in the house...I know that my great grandfather is with my always in spirit but it wasn't him as he is alot shorter & shuffles rather than walk...I am really hoping that it's not someone new...my daughter sees spirits in her sleep & has told me about a little boy that's here...this is starting to worry me...is there anyone out there that can give me some advice on how I can find out if it's someone ho was already here or if there is a new person who has arrived? I have been told that there are spirits here.

I do not know how to tell a "new" spirit from an old one, but if the place is indeed haunted then there is probably several new spirits. The reason why I say this as being a semi-believer semi-skeptic and still searching for one important spirit I so badly want to contact I have done a boatload of research on the topic. Also a family member of mine don't call them spirits but echos and says every new home comes with them. Either way I do not think it is not anything to worry about if the spirit has not done anything harmful to you or your family, the person who told me about echoes said that they still see the home as it looked prior to them becoming an echo and often don't even see us. Even if they are new and make contact if they do not try to hurt anyone, I wouldn't worry. Salt in the window keeps echos out I have been told. Perhaps put a little salt in the window and it will help her sleep better.

Have you tried researching the history of the the house or property to find out who they are?

I have never heard of the salt thing except in the tv show Supernatural...I will definitely have to try this one...I so wish you lived close by so you could bring your family member over to take a look :p

I wouldn't even worry about it. This has happened to me for years and nothing, absolutely nothing harmful has ever came about from it. People (spirits) sometimes just pass through, or come back just to visit. The little boy your daughter talks about might just find her as being a fun person to watch. There's too much talk all the time about demons, and bad spirits, when actually it's nothing more than shadow people or as I said, someone passing on through. I've never had anything ever hurt me or my children as they grew up. It was more amusing than anything. So if you do have spirits there, don't be afraid.

OMG... i am a little bit weak on that spot, as i was actually reading your description, i already looked around me as i am currently alone in my room. hahaha.. but i suppose you can have someone pray and bless the house. it's what the elders usually do here at home. so the spirits could be peacefully asked to leave you and not bother you

That's a good idea...there aren't too many people that do that here in Australia though unless it's a member of a church.

I have seen this happen several times. We call them shadows from the past. I believe that in our lives we reach a certain point and we start over, hence forth the feeling of dejavu. There are what we call layers in time. Each generation that passes on adds to these layers. What we see is someone who now lives in a parallel but separate world from the present day. You could do a little research as to who lived in that house over the years and maybe if your lucky you can even find pictures of these past owners or tenants.

If you have any fear of ghost or such kind of thing,then may be you should call the father of a church and discuss the entire matter with him without keeping anything secret.I think he will definitely help you with the divine powers of the almighty.Your house may be haunted.But don't worry because the father is the person who will decide.Best of luck.Hope every thing is fine with your house.

Have you watched the paranomal activity? In summary it is a movie based on the events that happened to a lady who was being hunted by spirits. It is a shocker. I would not disregard your daughters dreams and would seek help from people who know how to deal with spirits. This is ofcorse assuming that the shadow you saw was not a burglar.

No, i haven't seen the movie...there was no other person in the house other than hubby, myself & our daughter so there was no explanation for the person I saw enter the house...I have spoken to a psychic once about what my daughter experiences but haven't had the chance to talk to him again.

That is interesting. A shadow person of some sort? Are you sure it wasn't a real person? when I read the title of your article, I was under the impression that someone entered your home illegally. I'd have called the police, to make sure they were taken away as soon as possible.

It wasn't a real person...our "front" door is a roller door & very noisy so someone would have heard it come up & down plus our dogs would have gone to greet the person.

This has never happened to me before :( I would be scared out of my mind to know what to do if I was in your position. Sorry I am no help but I was interested by what you went through though.

First of all, you should start out with a camera and a recorder. With the recorder, you use it to conduct EVP's. Otherwise known as Electric Voice phenomenon. It's where you ask them question and see if it catches any response to what we can't hear with our sense level of hearing. As of for the camera, wait until 2-4AM and turn all the lights of in your house, and use only a flashlight to see. take pictures and ask questions like, "can you show yourself to me" or I would like to see what you look like, can you please show yourself in front of the box (camera) that I have in my hand. But don't ever ask if anyone's there because that will aggravate the spirit and make it angry. And don't show that your afraid of it. It too would arouse anger or shyness and won't communicate with you as well. As of for getting rid of it, try calling a priest out, or if its not hurting anyone or its just a playful spirit, there isn't much reason to get rid of it but if its vengeful and you have children then get them out until it's removed or they might be the first to get hurt because they are the most vulnerable.
