Why do i hear a little girl laughing in my house at night?

[SarahJane12345]

I'm not to sure i actually believe in ghosts so I'm looking for anyone out there who can speculate on the current goings on in my house and put my mind at rest. I have lived in my rented house for 3 years, for the first 6 months i can't say i noticed anything strange, however shortly after this there were a few things that have happened that have got me questioning things. 1) I hear someone running/walking up my stairs. 2) i hear someone walking/running in my hall way. 3) tv channels changing turning on and off (this however only happenes in my front room) 4) electiral toys going off when no one is near them (And when i randomly asked the toy to shut up as it was ruining my programe it did and then started going off again when the adverts kicked in) 5) My child waking up suddenly in the night and asking me why i have woke her. 6) The giggling. This is a little girls voice and many times i have thought it was my own little girl up and awake, playing about but only for me to find she is fast asleep snoring in her bed. (This has happened so many times now i have lost count.) I am not the only person to have heard these things in my home, however again it seems to mainly happen at night? Why is this? All of this stuff died down last year and everything seemed "normal" again for a while, however yesterday i had to call my landlord out to fix something and then last night it all started again - with doors opening, walking in the hall, my daughter been woke up and the giggling. If anyone can shed some light on this for me please do as I'm now growing slightly concered and really not to sure who i can talk to about this without sounding crazy or even what I should to do. So if anyone has experinced this or anythng similair or know what i should do please get in touch. Anon

We have a phantom hound that sometimes howls in the night. It mysteriously stops when you hoof it through the door into the garden.

Prudie, actually I lived in a 'haunted' house, and I put up with many peculiar - and scary - happenings for a lot more than two years.

[boxtops]

I know I wouldn't.

[DTCwordfan]

When is the suspension coming?

[naomi24]

Boxy, what would you do?

[Prudie]

Really naomi, I'd have been out of there in a shot.

[RATTER15]

^^^^^ Ditto!!

[naomi24]

Prudie, being out of there like a shot isn't easy when you live there. Where do you go? :o/

[Prudie]

Fair point but I wouldn't be able to sleep in a house like that, I suppose it's how you rationalise and deal with such things. I'd be terrified.

[tastymorsel]

I consider myself bin "my right mind" but I lived in a flat for three years because, as a previous poster stated I had nowhere else to go.Whilst in this flat I experienced my clothes being torn to shreds and left in the middle of the floor,bedroom door being pounded on when no one else was in the flat,jewellery disappearing and never being found again,cat hissing arching his back and walking round "something"in the living room and also a friend who when called for the first time said she would never call again cos"something isn't right here"Yet I still don't believe in ghosts.I think the human mind is a vast untapped source that we haven't discovered yet

[Gromit]

Hmm. A Ghost that like to channel hop. We'd get on well.

Do you think this poor tormented creature my have met a grisly end due to the loud snoring. I know I have had homicidal tendencies when my other half has been zeding at high volume.

[tastymorsel]

*in*

[naomi24]

Prudie, it wasn’t easy – but somehow you get used to it. Having said that, on the day we moved out, I couldn’t bring myself to go upstairs to check the rooms were clear. I just couldn’t.

Gromit, if your other half has been zedding up to high volume, I’m surprised you’re not troubled by the rumblings in the house. ;o)

we had a ghost where we lived when i was 14, It was a man, and he ran up and down the stairs, and slammed the front door shut. We had a blessing in the house and it calmed down. I actually saw him, and no one believed me, as i was only 14 and rather hyper, but when my big brother came back from his night shift and opened the front door, he saw a bloke walk up the stairs in front of him. He was terrified, and asked my mum to go check what this man is doing in our house, bloody wimp (i would check myself, could be a burglar, and attack mum) but mum checked and she saw no one, then they believed what i had been telling them all along....it was a ghost, hanged himself in loft, over marriage split, and haunted the house since.....was a good looking Young English man, as we were informed by the very elderly neighbour. So there is a thing called ghost, and you need to get your house blessed, they don't like change, so what did your landlord fix?

[sandyRoe]

There are two answers that spring to mind. The first is that The Borrowers are living under your floorboards. The second, and more likely, is that you have a family of east Europeans secretly living in your attic.

[naomi24]

Sandy, oh ye of little faith! ;o)

Night all. Thanks for an interesting hour or so. x

Even my mum's dog can discern when ad breaks are on. As soon as the corrie/Emmerdale theme music comes on, he knows you've finished watching your programme and he goes and fetches a toy.

Sarah Jane, in answer to your question:

You say things restarted when your landlord came over. How do you know the little girl is nothing to do with your landlord? Ask him if he can shed any light on it and if that draws a blank, try to reason with the girl and ask her to leave. She may not even realise that she has passed over.
