Is it haunted?

I recently moved house. Its a fairly old house and i think its haunted.

Our first week here my partner had to stay away over night and i was here on my own. I felt completely safe and not scared at all but i felt like there someone was here with me all night.

Since then iv heard foot steps up stairsand a mans voice when theres been nobody else home and feel like im never alone. But in a nice way.

The night before last i slept in my daughters room as she wouldn sleep and in the morning my partner was really quiet and left early or work. He said he didn sleep at all.

Later on he told me that he could hear banging and foot steps all night in his room. He said he put it down to pipes or next door but then he felt someone push him hard.

He said he didn hear anything after that for ages but then the bed moved. He said it was like someone had pushed the bed with their foot.

Could he have been imagining all this?

Update:

Our landlord doesnt know who used to own the house. He bought from an estate agents 6 years ago and rented it out as a holiday home. We are the first longtime tenants hes had.

Update 2:

We are catholics!!

These ghosts seem to not lke my partner as i feel completely protected by them but they are pushing him.

Is it possible?

Update 3:

Also i think my daughter can see thm or hear them. She is only 10 months but iv heard her talkin in her cot at like 2 in the morning and when i go in she is just sitting there talking.

I do talk to them sometimes.

I felt a chill last night when i was putting the baby to bed and i just said "you are making me cold. Dont wake the baby, she needs her sleep. be nice" i felt warmer and for the first time since we moved in the baby slept through the nght.

Update 4:

I only told my partner i thought it was haunted the night he stayed away but he never beleves tose things so i just didnt mention it again

    Even tho u feel calm in the house knowing there is someone around you your husband obviously doesn't and this could be because this spirit has something against men (trust me this does happen) the sprit may be protecting you and your child which is why you feel safe in its presence but you husband doesn't.

    there are a couple of things you can do, you can simply sit together yourself and your husband and ask the spririt nicely if he/she (probably a he) would leave you alone, or you can seek out a local medium to come and cleanse the house and try to help the spirit to move on in to the light or where ever is next for him.

    good luck x

    added: I just wanted to let you know your not going mad, my nine year old son has a little girl come and sit on the end of his bed, she is there when he wakes in the night and there first thing in the morning, he said she wears an old fashioned school uniform, but he can't quite make out her hair colour its kind of white I believe 100% that he is telling the truth, 2 years is along time to keep making something up.

    There is probably some kind of spirit still in the house. I had the same thing about 20 years ago in a house in London. The bed used to shake as if someone was holding one end and moving it it up & down, the doorknob to the bedroom used to rattle in the night so loud, it used to wake me up! And occasionally it was as if somone was blowing cool air into my face [ this was with closed windows!] Its funny tho. I never felt scared or threatened. but it just used to piss me off because it woke me in the night a lot. These kind of spirits are just "inconvenient" ! I put it down to a non-malignant spirit or ghost. I think you possibly have the same thing happening there.

    it sounds haunted but you need more evidence try leaving a tape recorder on in the house when you leave for the day or when the house is empty see if you can pick up some EVP, also do some reasearch on the house go to the library and look in old obituaries and check online, if these spirts are harming your partner i would recomend contacting your preist or the absolute best thing in my opion would be to contact a local LDS bishop, as i believe they would have the most power to preform a blessing on your house

  • It sounds like some of the tricks spirits like to play on us. Just ignore them. If something wierd happens politely ask them to leave. It that doesn't work ask for help again on here. I had some of the same experiences in a couple of different homes. It's almost like they test you at first. If you aren't freaked out at first, then they tend to leave you alone. What's the point in playing with someone if they're not amused or scared? It's just like dealing with a bad kid. Ignore their behavior and usually they'll leave you alone.

    edit: While I don't agree with the Catholic church, they have a good strategy for getting rid of unwanted spirits. Ask your priest for help. Praying to God for help is definitely a good idea. These spirits are evil, no matter what anyone says. If they were good they'd never bother you in the first place.

    Indeed it sounds as if someone is living there with you. Children always see the spirits as they are not afraid of them. I would think that your partner may be in some danger as it sounds like a man is in your home. I think he will listen to you if you speak to him, just be kind in telling him that this other man is your lover and that he must leave him alone. good luck

    Sorry but I think it is all pants!!! If you have told him about what you believed was happening it may have affected his sub conscious in some way and maybe he was dreaming. If you are not sleeping very well you are not going into full rem sleep and this may be where his perception of events came from. When people are deprived of sleep they hallucinate but it is really because their brain shuts down for seconds at a time because it needs to rest. I dont believe in ghosts personally and if you watch Derek Acora (the multi millionaire) ghost hunter guy I think you can understand why.

    Its haunted, you should make contact as you do not fear this presence, it might be that the person there has unfinished business.... Small things you can do to ask to be left alone. Say you don't mind them being there but not to contact the rest of the family.

    Other than that call an expert in and get it laid to rest.

    Sounds haunted to me. See if you can find out about previous residents in the house.

    It could have been real, this other world exists and its as real as this one we see.... try talking with your local pastor or a christian friend... it can be cleaned!
