Sharing Our House With A Ghost Rarely Ever Fun!

Posted by scarygeek on November 24, 2009 at 09:12 am

We have been sharing our 3 bedroom home with an uninvited guest, of the paranormal kind, for well over 3 months now. It’s bad enough to have a living, breathing guest that won’t leave, but worse to have one that comes home at all hours of the day or night, without any regard for your sleep. It has been rough on my family, and I just realized how sleep deprived we have all been, especially my kids. Sera rarely gets a full nights sleep, and is exhausted by the weekend. It’s no wonder we all can get so grumpy at any given moment.

Yesterday, I decided that as soon as we can get the money, we are going to have to move. The kids will never be relaxed here because too much has happened. Every noise that they hear, spirit or no spirit, is always going to be a spirit, because that is the way they have been conditioned. It doesn’t matter how many times I tell them that it is a protective spirit or that it is not here to hurt us, it will never be the same. My two-year-old will always see the monster in the closet, my four-year-old will always want someone to go with here any times she leaves the room, my 11-year-old will always sleep with all the lights on, and my oldest daughter will never get any sleep. We will always hear someone walking up and down the stairs, because that is just the way it is.

Yesterday, my 11-year-old, Jake, was here sitting on the couch with his little sister when they heard something walk down the stairs. Jake usually handles it all pretty well, but this time he was sitting and saw and felt something put a hand on his knee and whatever it was held it there for a while. He was scared but did not panic, just sat there waiting for it to go.  He isn’t sure how long it was there, but was pretty excited about it and talked about it for the next few hours. They took a little longer than usual to fall asleep last night again, I think it was about 11:15pm. Definitely not the time school aged kids should be going to sleep.

So, I am not sure when, but we will have to move to see if we can get some peace and quiet. I know that there is a chance we will find more ghosts in a new house, or that these will follow us, but that is a chance we are willing to take. This had definitely not been fun!
