In the last couple of weeks I've had a little old lady stood at the bottom of the stairs. Shes quite short about 4'5" and she has thin grey wispy hair losely piled up onto her head. She has very dark almost victorian clothes, long skirt and a shawl around her shoulders which are sort of hunched over. Her name is Emmy and that is all she has said, she has a very soft gentle voice and hasnt said anything but her name when I asked who she was. All she does is just stand at the bottom of the stairs smiling. Shes there only for a few moments but she appears quite a few times through the day and into the night. I've checked the history of the house and theres no connection infact I get the feeling she has nothing to do with the house or even the area shes just here. I have tried to connect with her but she just smiles at me and when Becks sees her she calls out 'hello nanna'. I've still got the footsteps pounding around up and down the stairs and in the rooms up there. Do you think because I'm stressed at the moment that I'm picking up more?

Lynne, forgive my memory, but isn't it your house that has the sailor ghosts? I wonder if she has anything to do with that? The time periods don't cooincide though, do they (if I'm remembering the sailors period correctly). At any rate, high emotions in the household can indeed stir up spirit activity, just as storms and construction can. =)

Emmy seems to be a demure personality and with all the smiling, it makes me wonder if she isn't there to comfort you. Does she always look the same (down to how she smiles, etc.)?

Who is Becks, a daughter? And Emmy calls out 'hello nanna' to her. Hmmm.. Maybe Becks reminds Emmy of someone in her lifetime!

Wow what a night. Last night the house was 'alive' with activity. I had noticed a strange feeling in the house all day yesterday but I put that down to me being tense with Dannys hospital appt. coming up but my god last night was scarey . There was an awful heavy feeling in the house the air was musty smelling and close yet outside was a lovely summers eve. with a cool breeze blowing. The footsteps started around 8:30pm just as the kids were going to bed which un nerved them a bit but I told them not to worry. I settled Becky down my youngest and there was an awful feeling in her bedroom and a dragging sound across her floor behind me she would not stay in the room saying there was a man in the room, shes only two and isnt normally scared of our visitors, as she calls emmy 'nanna'. Anyway I took her back downstairs and my whole body tingled when I got downstairs there was a feeling of someone behind me it was so strong that I had goosebumps all over and I had to keep turning round. While I was in the kitchen someone touched my arm and blew on my right cheek, the feelings of fear were unexplainable. The lights in the house kept dimming and the noises and moving of my things got really intense. All five of my kids did not sleep well at all, having nightmares but all the same sort of theme that a black shadow was trying to kill them and that when they thought they were safe he reappeared. Anna woke up beside herself with fear because she could hear and feel a man breathing on her. I kept seeing black cats running across my doorways, when infact no animal will enter this house. I also experianced seeing orbs just floating in front of me with a really cold patch. We got through the night but this morning my daughter anna said she could see little round clear balls floating in front of her in the kitchen and when she turned it was freezing but when she passed through it there was a stale smell. My other also saw the orbs in the kitchen and the hall and I saw them in the hall and just above annas head in the kitchen. I am pleased to say that at the moment the house feels quite nothing else has moved and I've only heard a few footsteps this morning.

I will keep you informed

Hi Lyn and everyone else!
Back in the 70's, so much activty was in my home that my sitters boyfriend talked me into going to Eastern Michigan University for tests, as he was certain that alot of the things going on around me I was doing unknowinly, telekinesis. (sp) Nothing ever really came of it but he said he felt that was alot of it, but not all of it.
I know what it feels like, it's like your surrounded isn't it?
I lived like that for eight years. Now I just get here and there stuff.
Keep strong! I tried very hard not to even acknowledge them.
I was so young back then, 18 when it started.
You might want to talk to someone about trying to cleanse your house. I also tried that.
My karate instructor was a minister and I asked him to come over one day and see for himself. He did and then he left? LOL I was too poor to move, to dumb to find some real help?
And I know, you then get into where you don't tell anyone you know because they look at you like your a mental case.
Lately, I have noticed an increase in activity in my life and my sons. We are all under alot of stress at this point, I think that attracts the activity also.
This is going to sound insane, but I learned it from a very old lady who practiced white magic.
Put a butter knife under each childs matress, without them knowing about it, center it. That should help, it helped my sons when they were little.
((((((((((hugs)))))))))

Lyn, honey, I have to tell ya'...you have guts and a lot more strength than I will probably ever be blessed with. How you managed to stay in your house with all that going on is pretty amazing to me. I am extremely glad you and your babies got through the night. It sounds like it was totally chaotic! Let us know, please if anything else happens.

Lynne, I think you should consider smudging with sage to try and calm some of that activity.

You can also talk to them - talk to them as you would any living person; be firm, but not cross - and tell them that you and your children live there now and their constant activity is scaring you all. If they want to stay, they must not scare anyone -- you can also tell them where they are allowed to be in the house and what is off limits. i.e. bedrooms are off limits

I hope things calm down soon - this can't be very comfortable for you and the kids.

Hugs,
Kell

Lynne, I don't think I would have even made it through the night! You and your children are very brave. I agree with Kell that maybe a smudging, or just letting them know that it's getting to be too much is a good idea.

I also agree with Kell about Emmy, I kind of get the feeling that she may be there to comfort you with all that's going on. Maybe her smiling at you is almost like her way of saying "Keep your chin up sweety"

Definitely keep us posted on anything else that happens.
