Well it's been a long time sence I have been on here. I started coming in here because I was desperate and needed answer's....and I still do!!!! Last year we moved into a big house on the lake. We fellin love with the house. It was a 3bedroom 1 bath downstairs and a master bed and bath upstairs, though we only used the bedroom upstairs at first as an office but it got so uncomfortable my husband started using it and a storage room. We did use the bathroom everynight cuz of the bug tub, kids loved it. Well my husband travels out of town with work, and I started hearing noises and seeing shadows. I, for a long time, played it off as house creeks. After a couple of weeks I over heard my 3 yr old daughter talking to someone in the bathroom, and my son was in the playroom. So Iwent in the bathroom and asked her who was she talking to, thinking she is just playing, she replied " I don't know what her name is but she talks to me when I am in the bathroom". So I asked her where she was and she pointed in the bathtub and said, " You scared her away now. I still did'nt put much to it, but i caught her on several occasions talking to the little girl in the bathroom. Well about a week later my 2yr old son was talking a nap and my daughter and I was taking some towels upstairs, when we heard a child crying. I thought it was my son awake so we got downstairs only to find him still asleep. so wegoback upstairs. A couple of minutes later we hear the crys agian, so was go downstairs to find my son asleep. Once agian we go upstairs to get the basket and we were only up the a second or two and my daughter tells me that she hears the crying agian, and I did too, so we go out of the bedroom door and my daughter stops and said " mommy she stopped crying". We heard the crys on different occasions after that as well, but only when you are in the upstair bedroom and as soon as you go out of the door the crys seem to stop. After about 3 months in the house I noticed that the upstairs just became more and more uncomfortable, almost unbearable for me to go into. I watch taps so I called the electricion and the house checked out. I am thinking I am going crazy now. Then one night my hubby was home and I went upstairs to take a shower. The lights in the bathroom were to my back. I had the terrifying feeling come over me and i looked up to see a shaddow cast on the wall like something passed infront of the lights ( mind you I had tall ceilings and my hubby at 5'9 had to stand on the counter on tippy toes to change the bulb) not making the room completely dark though. I turned around and I saw this bug shaddow like moving towards, I was frozen. Then right infront of me, between the shaddow and me, this warm glow just ( for lack of a better word) illuminates and i just felt so calming and peaceful looking at this light. Then the shaddow goes aways. I ran out of there. After that I got to where I wouldn't go upstairs without my hubby, and I moved my kids beds in my room. The house seemed to be ok during the day only the little girl and the crys, but when it started getting dark it just got this scarying feeling. It seemed like at first it was in the bedroom but what ever it was seemed to be moving through the house. After dark I got to where I wouldn't even go out of the room. I put my family all in my room even the dog, and I locked the doors, thats how scared I was getting in the house. The bedroom door had a gap under it about 2 or 3 inches and you could see into the dining room, and you could sit there and here noises and see shadows moving in there, but everyone was in the room with me and the dog would sit the and watch the door with his ears up and would bark sometimes looking at the shadows. One day when it was starting to get dark me and the hubby and my kids were walking around the edge of the lake and we looked up at the house and and in the second floor window of the bathroom we saw a black figure ( Head and shoulders and about half way down the arms) standing in the window like it was watching us. My hubby took off into the house and we watched the figure. A split second inbetween we saw the figure like duck down and as soon as it got out of site you could see my hubby's head in the window. I say his head cuz remember he stands 5'9 and that window is so high that the bottom of the window comes up to his neck. He found nothing when he got there. That night we were lying in bed and we were talking about it and I started telling him of everything that has happened in the house then he tells me that he has heared and saw some things too but we didn't want to sound crazy soo we never told the other. While we were talking were heard footsteps in the dining room. We looked and saw shows of a set of feet looked like going with steps we were hearing, walk from on side of the door to the middle and stop then turn like tawards the door and stop. The dog started barking and looking under the door. It seemed to stand there for a couple of seconds then turn and walk away. The next night i went to my moms and told her and she was telling me what to try to get ride of it. she called me about 20 min. after i left and said that her tv started turning on and off again and agian, and the volume kept going up and down. So she told it to stop and leave her house and it just stopped and she has'nt had no more problems. Well we moved out of the house about 1 month ago and it has been nice, but my daughter has started talking to the little girl agian. I read some where that demons will sometimes pose as kids to get your trust and thats how they get you. Should I be worried is it a demon. and if not.... if the little girl can follow us.... did the other freaky thing? By the way my daughter said the little girl said her name was katie. And we did check into it and the house had been built on to twice and part of the original part of the house had to be rebiult because of a fire in 1903, but the only thing it said was there was a fire with 1 cassualty. I thought my fears were over when we moved, but was i just hoping????? any imput would be welcomed and greatly appreciated and sorry for the typing errors

I agree with Bob. This place just cries (no pun intended) for Livescifi to be there. Arent you going to be in that area soon with the Gettysburg thing? Anyway sounds like a place I would like to see. Please before PS or GH or one of those other like GA gets ahold of it.
Sounds like the perfect case for Tim and Company. Just remember, LIfeline, it's your house, don't let this rule you..you rule IT! Tim did wonders for me, not only in investigating my property but helping me deal with the emotional aspect which comes right along side of any paranormal activity. I understand all to well how draining it is emotionally especially when kids are involved. You're in good hands!!!

life line are you still there.. 😉
newbie and learning all the ropes and what have you......but, it occurs to me the native american indians were here long before the "white man" - long long before - typically their cultures passed information through stories, rather than writing anything down, the elders would continually tell stories from their experience to the youngings, who eventually became elders and passed the stories they were taught through story telling, and on and on.....who knows how many generations of Native American Indians honored the lands they lived on and which supported their sustenance ....... it's amazing to compare known facts by science against cultures from long ago and realize, through their observations how in touch with the land, sky, water, air, animals, etc they were......
The only reason I'm posting is that when it comes to "hauntings" near streams, lakes, ponds or any kind of water - there very well could be a connection to Native American Indians who lived on those very lands but, are long gone to the little areas "we" allowed to their tribes....(sic and sad, to this day, aren't they AMERICAN's too?)....so it might be worthy of checking to see if you can locate a shaman or an elder from a local Native American Indian tribe.....they may be able to shed light on what's disturbed......although they speak in very simplistic terms, compared to "our modern era", there are countless generations that have contributed to their knowledge, no matter how simplistic we may think it may be.....Water in particular is a major part of Native American culture......not that I in anyway am an expert in paranormal (only a few personal experiences through my life to draw upon, and really more of a hobbie/interest over the past few years, after my first personal experience)....
If I were you, I would check to see if there are any shaman or Elders in your area and see if they will come out to check out what's going on.....you never know, it could be something as simple as the land is "out of balance" from something being chopped down or moved or what have you.....and there are stories where the spirits who went before us, can not taste anymore but, they can smell.....sweet odor plants or fruit trees can be planted to satisfy the land spirits (elementals?) in some cases.....or simple Indian ceremonies can affect the negative and turn it into a positive.......
Here in the Bay Area, they are constantly uncovering Indian burial sites which immediately halts construction until the tribe can come and honor the buried and, until it is cleared to go by the local tribe and elders can construction continue.....it's costly to the builder but, what's a building worth that's haunted from before it was even built......UC Davis is one of the few places where Native American Indians have allowed Indian artifacts and bones to be kept, and the campus put a lot of hours into honoring every last bone, arrowhead or what have you..and even then, the tribes have complete rights to inspect how the artifacts are being kept at any time.......You might want to contact US Davis and see if they can be of service........another option is OSU where they have hard to get into graduate programs on Native American Indians and oxygen isotope dating - and might be able to help too..
Again, take this for what it's worth. I'm a "paranormal fan" newbie and have little to no experience with Native American Indians - I did date a wonderfully talented girl who spent a long time cataloging and properly honoring in storing artifacts at UC Davis and went to graduate school at OSU........and currently she works the field when construction sites run into burial sites around Northern California.....
KrazyMoose might also consider contacting a shaman or an elder from a local tribe for help.......Indians might not understand electronics.computers.etc. but one thing is for sure, they sure understand energy and how land/water has energies to them and how to best live in peace with the various forces generated by nature. We are all creatures of earth, though more advanced than our animal friends, it doesn't mean we know squat when it comes to living in harmony with the lands we wish to live in.....we see a nice site by the water and without even thinking just start drawing up blue prints and get to slapping nails - without any ill intent of course.
Remember, our American version of fairies are almost like angels, looking after us and being all good......whereas, fairies in Ireland are a frightening thing and means nature spirits who can tear houses down and ruin lives......words don't mean much, it's the meaning behind the words depending on the culture they come from....
I for one, would think it presumptuous to assume that nature isn't more than the eye can see....
What a story you have and I for one wish you luck........don't be scared, be intrigued....you have a golden opportunity to learn about something you may never have even though about before....and as we all know, the unexpected learning we do in life, can sometimes be the most fulfilling in the long run......
Never hurts to have some sort of protection either...a blessed St. Michael medallion is a good start but, make sure whatever protection you decide is right for you, is right for you and not just because someone said so. Certainly, not me!
Blessed be and best wishes........wanna hear updates on both threads..
(man, I have GOT to read more of these posts, they are incredible stories and can't wait to hear some sort of conclusion....positive conclusion.......but, this is real life, not a 30 minutes TV show where everything wraps up all nice a neatly by the final commercial..)
