The Little Child Spirit
Our ghost hunting team had been contacted by a couple who claimed to be suffering from what seemed to a poltergeist in their own home. The couple had moved into the home, in the Midlands, and showed signs of a haunting as soon as they moved in.
Our ghost hunting team had been contacted by a couple who claimed to be suffering from what seemed to a poltergeist in their own home. The couple had moved into the home, in the Midlands, and showed signs of a haunting as soon as they moved in.
Various items had gone missing in the house, noises had been heard at night and doors had been slamming shut by themselves. One thing that had interested the team was what had appeared to be ectoplasm appearing in the skirting boards.
The team first researched the houses’ history, however, because this was a relatively new residential property, not much could be found. We did manage to speak to the previous property owners, and they claimed that none of the paranormal activity had occurred while they had been living there. The fact that they had moved out again only a year after they first moved in, suggested they knew more than they were letting on.
Our first opinion of the house was of calm and serene, no strange atmosphere whatsoever. We started by investigating some of the rooms of the house, but we found nothing out of the ordinary. The spare bedroom showed was slightly colder than the rest of the house, which was unusual but not unheard of in some of the other locations we had investigated.
We brought Annabel in to do a reading of the property, this was when we heard a bump coming from one of the rooms upstairs. We quickly ran up and found that one of the children’s toys had fallen from a shelf. At this point, Annabel was able to pick up on the spirit.
Shouting out, we were very surprised to hear what appeared to be a slight scratching noise coming from the skirting board. As soon as we heard it, it stopped. Shouting out again gained no new activity, so we allowed Annabel to proceed.
Annabel claimed that she felt the energies of a short man, no bigger than five feet tall, in his mid thirties in the room with us. He didn’t seem a malicious spirit but Annabel could tell there was some form of Autism that this man was suffering from. He died when he accidentally fell out of his bedroom window, which was the room we happened to be in. This man had the intelligence of a someone much younger than himself, and his spirit had found the enjoyment of watching the couple’s children at play.
I wanted to spend more attention on the children’s playroom, and asked Annabel if she could ask if the ghost would visit us later. She told us that the spirit agreed to stay with us. We set-up or equipment in this room and waited excitedly to see if we could record any evidence.
For the first couple of hours we got very little in the way of paranormal activity; a few bumps and clicks but no hard evidence. We began to get a little downbeat until one of the team claimed that they had been touched on the hip.
To be continued.
