Hi Cuddles!
Just a suggestion, but you may want to post in the "Introduce Yourself" section of the board so that everyone will have a chance to give you a proper hello!
It definitely sounds as if you have some activity going on in your home. I have to agree with both Peg and Christine, ghosts and spirits can definitely follow a person from place to place, or even an object. A person can attract spirit attention or activity just by being receptive to it.
Have you thought about the fact that this may not be a spirit that has followed you, but that your present home may just be haunted? You might want to look into the history of your home to see if you can't find anything that way.
Do you feel like this is the same spirit from when you were younger? If so, it could be a relative or a loved one that is just keeping an eye on you and trying to let you know that they are there. In any event, Good luck and definitely keep us posted on how things are going! =)
