Answer 1

If you give any credence to the faddish ghost-buster growth industry you might try to find a local group.  Likely as not they'll tell you everything you need to do.

If you believe in any of the various other paranormal pursuits as a means of running them off, check until you find one that suits you.

Otherwise, just try to fix in your own mind what the level of risk is to you, what you believe it all means in your life, and decide for yourself what means you should deal with it.

There's all manner of science hocus-pocus and paranormal hocus-pocus available to you if you want to experiment.  But consider the fact that before television people lived with all this from the day one.

Might be you can, also.

Edit:  Thanks for the unasked for advice on how I ought to approach my replies, Chief.  I'll give it as much weight as I think it deserves, considering the source.

Answer 2

Call the GhostBusters,.......I just watched the movie for the 2nd time

Answer 3

>Well first off, you need to make sure there is something going on. get on the web, search for paranormal groups in your area. Make sure they have references and are a legit group. Tell them whats going on. See if they will come out and investigate. They usually have contacts for helping to get rid of them if it turns out you indeed have a problem and your wishing to get rid of them. I would leave a cam corder on in the childrens room for a few nights in a row, see if you get anything on tape so you can show the investigators. You can also use a recorder to listen for any EVPs. If I read correctly, this has just begun to happen, or are you just now becoming aware of something that has possibly been going on for a while? Discuss this as little as possible with any children. Dont place any suggestions in their minds to further compound the problem. But if your really worried, get in contact with a group ASAP.

edit: there is no recent hocus pocus going on here. There have been credible groups and universities studying this phenom for decades. Hauntings are not a recent happening, and before, people got up and moved, contacted priests, or lived in fear. During the recent era, people have begun to take control over their homes and lives with the help of others. Rather than just move to a new home, or be afraid to go home! If your going to give an answer for someone asking for help, at least try to be helpful rather than be agitating and condescending. Chief eh, well at least you have the order right, glad to see you agree there old fella.

Answer 4

You say you have been living in the house for 4 years and haven't "noticed anything" before. Phantoms or spirits might be dormant in a home and take a while to manifest and make itself known.

You didn't mention what time you saw the shadow man if it was day or night (I personally had an experience day and night with one)if it is only hanging out in one part of the house it could just be a repeater ( some energies repeatedly show up at the same time every day like a broken record).

The child is of concern, is it a fully formed apparition (ghost) you didn't mention what kind of clothes or anything noticeable. The child could just be a lost spirit and finds comfort in your family setting (mom, dad, children).

As long as nothing frightful happens you probably can co-exist with the energy (my shadow man started showing up in my dreams and that wasn't too pleasant). Most people don't want to share with a spirit and vice versa, you could take the advice of getting the house cleansed or just strengthen your resolve and ask whatever to leave in peace.

If strange stuff keeps happening then seek a professionals help.

Answer 5

Bruj has the ony answer I would agree with here.

First of all, most ghosts are nothing to be afraid of. They cannot do you any harm and usually do not wish to.

There are lots floating around, sometimes looking for comfort, sometimes stuck here because they died suddenly and did not go into the Light.

I have done it the same way Bruj is talking about. I would sit quietly and basically do a little bit of counselling for the lost soul and persuade him/her to go into the Light.

I also ask for guides, helpers and family members who have alredy passed, to come and reach out from the Light to give a helping, guiding hand.

If you close your eyes and visualise this as you are talking to the "ghost" and heling him/her home, you may be pleasantly surprised at the images you see.

I think the child has lost its family and just needs a helping hand to guide it into the Light. You can imagine it there and talk to it as you would with a child of that age, telling it to look for the Light and its family that will come and guide it home to where it will be loved and where it belongs.

Answer 6

The fact that you seem to have these experiences connected with sleep or waking, suggest that you are experiencing a sleep disorder. The worst form people experience paralysis and swear they are abducted by space men.

Spend some time with your daughter researching on the computer and comfort her that the experience must have a logical explanation, the two of you will have a good time finding it.

I had such an experience when I  was a child, I never talked about it till I found out how well it fit into this sleep disorder.

My parents were separated at the time...

What is going on in your life(s) that is so stressful?

Keep in mind that people think they are wide awake during the experience.

Answer 7

no ones going to help you on this but i got one tip get a computer, set up some web cams around the house in the rooms you think is haunted and start recording it.  If you don't no what i am talking about send me a email

Answer 8

where do you live? have you researched the history of the home? does anyone else,besides the memebers of your immediate family,experience the same anomalies? are there any changes in tempature? are the images solid/wispy/transparent/shadowy?do these images as that of a mirage(i.e shimmer/shimmering/sorrounded by anomalis light or natural light?)

do you hear voices? if you do are they distinguishable? or inaudiable? or do the voices sound like their comming from a long distance? do you,or your husband smell any odd or unpleasent odors?

my suggestion is to obtain a disposable 35mm camers(indoor/outdoor with flash.also a tape recorder with a external mic,this is called evp(electronic voice phenomenon)the more questions you ask the information you.ll get.

be patient it may take a while.i this has helped you let me know how things are going.

Answer 9

Well..if you're going to do as Jack says and let them/him/her stay there..you might as well include them as part of your family! If so..you need to discipline them if it's a child..tell him/her to not wake the baby etc. As for the man...I just don't think I'd want a man roaming around my house. I think it's unlikely that you're all "mentally ill" and hallucinating. I don't understand how you've lived there 4 yrs. and not noticed anything until now. Did you ever bring something home..furniture/statues etc. that a spirit  could have been "attached" to? I don't understand why they'd show up all of a sudden. I just don't think I'd want spirits around the baby. Has anyone in your family died who could be coming to visit you? Do you go to church? If so...maybe you could talk to your minister about it. Have you been messing around with a Ouija board or anything like that?  Try to think if you did anything 4 years ago that could have caused this.Did someone visit you at that time who was into spiritual things? If it keeps happening..please come back and tell us.Have you watched Paranormal State or A Haunting? There are similar stories on there. Maybe there will be someone on here who can tell you what to do. That's all I can think to tell you. Good Luck!

edit...I think nuff had a really good answer. Also..as G.S. said..maybe you should check out the history of the property. I don't see how it could be a sleep disorder if your daughter has seen them too. If you really feel that there's something there...you should try to do something about it. Read up on these things as much as you can ..and keep a close eye on your baby.

Answer 10

I believe my house used to be haunted. So I tried this: Sit on the floor in a quiet room, possibly with your family. I would suggest going to the room where most of this activity occurs. Close your eyes, possibly link hands. And say that you wish to speak to them, the spirits. Try asking them why they are there {Sometimes, people have actually gotten responses, although I didnt.}. Then try telling them nicely that although you appreciate them, this side is not the right place for them. Tell them that the other side is much better and that they need to walk towards the light. Tell them that there are others waiting for them on the other side.

Seriously, this worked for me. I was having reoccuring dreams about my den when my family just moved into our house. I also kep seeing shadows and having really bad feelings whenever I stepped into the room. My parents didnt believe me, so one day, when they left, I did this. There was no one in the house, just me. After I said all that, I swear I heard the front door open and close. After that, I never had the dreams or feelings again.

If that doesnt work, I suggest going to a local Paranormal business.

Hope I helped. Good Luck!!

Answer 11

What are the outside surroundings of the home?

They may be "shadow people".

Shadow people (also known as shadow men, shadow folk, or shadow beings) are said to be shadow like creatures of supernatural origin that appear as dark forms in the peripheries of people's vision and disintegrate, or move between walls, when noticed.

Children also are highly perceptive of the presence of Ghosts. Often children may be the terrified victims of hauntings and the adults may not even be aware of anything unusual happening. If your child/Children have imaginary friends that they talk to, or if they have frequent nightmares, are afraid of certain places in your home, need a night light, or are unusually afraid of being alone, ghost activity MAY be the reason. Remember, not all "Ghosts" are malicious. An "Angel from God" appearing to you would follow the same criteria and appear the same as a "Ghost".

I would first cleans the home.  Be calm & calmly ask it to stop bothering you & your family.  I have heard that buring sage is good too.

Answer 12

Answer 17

how can you physically see a ghost? aren't they more like orbs or shadows? when you saw the small child, did you try to touch it? plus, 5 am is usually the time of sunrise, aren't ghost only out when its dark and gone before sunrise or something? hmmm...is this story even real? if it is, you and your family should get out and get your house cleansed through prayer or holy water or just tell the spirits to leave since its your house now!

Answer 18

I think it wants you to be it's mommy.

Answer 19

Before you do anything you need to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that you have a ghost/spirit present.  Once that has been done you can address the plan of action.

Answer 20

Do nothing. This is not anything that is going to harm you. If you call the local paranormal group they will only use it to try and promote themselves. I suggest you visit http://www.ghostweb.com/ scroll down to their navigation menu and click on the free ghost articles and there you will find the same information the Paranormal groups that you call uses and you can do the same things yourself. They have articles about how to get rid of pesky ghosts, which your situation does not sound like it is a pesky situation to me.
