Ok, so I had a personal experience.....

[revmike]

Gosh, been so busy I haven't visited here in a while, but I recently had an experience, and feel that I've got to share.

First of all I live in a house that's about 45 years old. I really don't know anything about the people who lived there before me, and I really don't know my neighbors enough to ask them if anything strange has ever happened there. (My next door neighbor has lived there since the house was built.....but for some reason, he doesn't seem to like me much.) Anyway I have 4 kids and my oldest who is 10, was away visiting family a few weeks ago, and the other three kids are tiny. So it was about 3:00 am, and I was awakened when my wife rolled over in the bed. When I wake up suddenly it takes me a few minutes to get settled back and return to sleep. We sleep with our bedroom door open, and I didn't hear anthing but still, I figured I'd take the opportunity to go check on the baby. I sat up in bed and put my glasses on. Just as I put my glasses on, I looked up and a female child, about age 7, short brown hair, and wearing a long night gown, walked past my door, as if going from where our bathroom is, into my 2 daughters' room. I did not see a face, only a profile. Now as I mentioned my oldest was out of town, and my little girl would have been too small (she's 4) to match this one's size, plus she has long blonde hair....not short brown. My very first thought (remember it was 3:00 and I was still a tiny bit disoriented) was that my 10 year old had somehow returned and I just forgot, but I instantly put that thought out of my head. My wife had by this time awakened as well. And I asked her "had our daughter come home during the night and I slept thru it?" "No." she replied looking at me like I was crazy. Then I told her what happened. At first she dismissed it saying I was just half asleep and seeing things, but when I explained that I had already been awake for a few minutes and was totally lucid, she believed me. I have NEVER had an experience like that. I do, absolutely believe I saw a ghost in my house. I would love to find who this was and perhaps even make contact with her. It pains me to think of a small child wandering alone like that.

Just wanted to share. Let me know what you guys think.

Oh my goodness! That gave me chills!

Poor child. Well, if you feel like waking up again at the same time, you could check to see if it residual energy or an intelligent spirit by trying to make contact. If she responds, looks at you, etc., I'd follow her and see what happens. If she doesn't respond, she may just be an imprint.

Let us know what happens.

Thats a good idea. My initial thought is that is was residual as well. I'll try that this weekend. Strange though, I have been in that house for 7 years and I've been up and down at all hours of the night and never seen her before.

We have had some other strange occurances, but none like this.

[Amy]

Has anything happened nearby that you know about?

I guess it could also have something to do with this time period, too. Like something happened in July and that's why the girl is coming by in July.

[revmike]

Sadly I live in one of those type of neighborhoods, where everyone keeps to themselves. So I don't know if anything has ever happened in the are before.

[Amy]

Did the nightgown and the description match your daughter otherwise, even though she wasn't home? I wonder if it wasn't just you sensing your daughter's energy making the trip from the bathroom to her bedroom? Like an imprint?

[revmike]

No not really. My daughter is a kind of a tomboy. She doesn't wear nightgowns. This was like a winter type, long flannel thing. This girl also had kind of bobbed hair. Both my girls have very long hair.

Been giving this a lot of thought lately. Perhaps too much, but I'm starting to think that this is somehow linked to my little one. I have had the idea that she was somewhat sensitive since she was very small. She has told us of strange occurrances in the house almost since she could first speak. At first we just wrote it off to the ramblings of a small child with a vivid immagination, until she told us things, that she could never have known any other way.

This entity was heading toward her room. Is it possible that she has some sort of attraction to spirits? Something about her that draws them to her?

[Amy]

Most definitely. It happened to my daughter when she was younger, too. I'm sure I wrote about it on here before, so I won't bore you with the whole story, but she was frightened out of her mind before she was even really talking so much by something in our apartment.

Does she talk about imaginary friends? Maybe they aren't exactly imaginary.

[revmike]

She has had sort of an immaginary friend. When she was about 2, she spoke of someone she called "Habba" who stayed outside her window.

Also, she would tell us about "the old man that would sit on her bed and put his hand on her". The description of the old man was that of my father in explicit detail. Now, my dad was a very gentle, kind and spiritual man. He only saw Liz and her twin brother once before he died. They were only about a month old and we brought them down to NC to Duke Hospital where he was. He held my son first. Played with him a bit, and then when we handed him Lizzie, he held her tightly to his chest and cried. He said, "this one is special". I'd NEVER seen my father shed a tear in his life.

He died shortly after that. And later that year we found out Lizzie had hemiplegic (only on the right side) Cerebral Palsy. She is also frightenly intelligent and was very verbal, very early. She would tell us in great detail about this man and how he was very nice and he would sit at the end of her bed and put his hand on her "stubborn leg" and "stubborn arm" and tell her that they would be "alright someday". She never seemed frightened about this in any way either, which leads me to believe that these type of this may seem normal to her, and may happen more than we know.

A lot of children have this ability to see and sense or hear things that noone else can. When i was young i used to talk about the shadow people that were watching me and my brother. Three months after i first started talking about the shadow people i told my mom that there was a big black thing following her around and the shadow people didnt like it two weeks later she got hit by a drunk driver and nearly died. These days i only have dreams about them and dejavu a lot. but it sounds like this "ghost girl" is intellegent because you have had other strange occurances if you would like to make contact with it you should use a audio recorder ask some questions and then play back for the answers also you should take some pictures and set up a camera in whatever room experiences the most activity. sorry for the long message and story by the way.
