Spooky goings on

You lot are probably going to think I am goint a bit nutty but there has been some quite weird shit going on in our house over the course of the last couple of weeks.

It all started a few Sundays ago. I said to Mrs Ash! I was going to the shop to get a few bits before we went away for a few days. Let me get the record straight first as last. She doesnt belive in ghosts. Not that she is totally dismmisive but she is what I would call really sceptical of all things. I comes in from the shop and she was visibly shaken. Asking what was the matter she says that her make up bag flew off the cabinet and a few ornaments started moving slowly on the hearth(sp).

Next day we go away thinking no more of it. Returns home on the Thursday and I gets out of the car and says I am going the toilet. Runs upstairs and starts having a slash. In the process of said slash, my baby sons musical ornament starts up in his bedroom across the hall. Me shouts you got upstairs quick and no reply. As I walk downstairs wifey and baby are still outside the house not been in yet.

It gets better. On Friday night we have some of the family round for a bite to eat and a few drinkies. My wifes younger sister thinks all this is a bit funny and she starts the old "Is there anybody there routine" After a few shouts a shelf in the cabinet collapses. Nothing broken but put the shits up everyone none the less.

Finally, we were going to be on Monday night. I was messing about on the computer and she went upstairs. She keeps shouting whats keeping you, can you not lock the front door ? Next thing, She shouts get upstairs through the baby monitor. I get up there and she is as white as a sheet. It would appear that she thought I was messing about at the bottom of the stairs then this figure walked down a few stairs and towards the kitchen. Scary thing for her was that the dog walked right through the figure.

Anybody else have/had any spooky goings on in there house and what did you do ?

I did a thread a while back where people collected their ghost stories...

And, erm, personally (and bear in mind this is just me) I'd burn the house to the ground and flee like the chicken shit I am.

Was thinking of doing that but our house does feel like a nice home if you know what I mean. Dont want all the rigmarole of police and insurance. Could rent it out I suppose

Nice home apart from the fact its built on an indian burial ground kind of nice?


Get someone in. Even if its just you guys imagining it, then you can placebo it and unimagine it. If its real, then let some short stumpy woman stand in your house yelling CAROL-ANNE! and get rid of it. Whatever, do something.

I would trade the dog in, they are supposed to sense things like ghosts and get aggressive not walk thought them, your dog is clearly faulty.

Better still get a cat.

we all know its the next door neighbour engaged in a spooky plot.

Just get a bunch of stoners in a hippy van to investigate and before you know it they'll be shouting "if it wasnt for you meddling kids I would have gotten away with it"

Damini's right.

Assuming you're telling the truth and not bullshitting us I'd recommend going to your local priest/vicar and politely requesting an exorcism. At first they may dismiss you but make sure they know you're deadly serious.

They have procedures for this sort of thing where they'll bless the house and sprinkle it with holy water.

I was reading what you wrote and trying to think of some logical explanation (a large bus/truck driving past the house to explain the objects moving on the mantlepiece) but I found it hard to explain how a toy just starts up on it's own when you've been out of the house for days. It's also hard to explain away seeing a figure AND seeing it clear enough to tell that your pet walked through it.

Good luck. I'd treat it seriously straight away cos if you do nothing it'll ruin your whole house for you and you'll start imagining things too and eventually move. It might go away all by itself but do you want to take the chance?

Just have an exorcism done as a matter of course regardless of whether you're even convinced about the house being "haunted" or not. It's hardly a big deal to have a priest in for 10 -15 mins is it?

I vote learn to live with it. Try and communicate! Make some ghost tea, and talk things out.. see what each other is like, and understand what not to do to upset each other and cause a problem.

Life will soon be like Casper, only without the bad annoying ghosts, and only a friendly annoying ghost. *

* On that note, is your daughter Christina Ricci? Cos if she is, first dibs. :D

I dont think the church can sanction an excorsism, doesn't the Vatican have to give permission or something?

How old is your house? Who lived there before? Do you have a forwarding address? Ask them if they've had any problems.

Hope you get it sorted. Even if you don't see anything, the imagination is a very powerful thing.

I once lived with students. I caught one of them actually studying my girlfriend's used underpants and kicked seven shades of shit out of him.

/edit: not to be hard but to prove I could successfully carry out the moves I needed for my brown belt, honest guv.

The house is about 40 years old. Old woman next door is cool she lives on her own and is away most weeks. Apparently me and the farther in law share the same barbers. He got chatting to the woman who owns the shop. It works out she used to rent the house before we bought it.

Now before all this stuff stuff she asked the father in law a few months ago if we had experienced anything. She used to see an old woman at the bottom of the stairs for a good number of years. Never harmed her or the family or anything.

To be honest I dont feel threatened. Its just spooky. You start doing really irrational things like sticking your hand round the wall to put the light on before you go into the hall or run upstairs and try not to look in the bedroom out the corner of your eye just in case you see something. Its not a wind up or anything this stuff is really going on

Using Occam's razor I think it's far more likely that you are going mad than that there are ghosts.

Hope that helps.

I believe that's right for a Catholic priest but the Queen is head of the Church of England and as such I don't think any such restrictions apply to Vicars. Wouldn't really do any harm to ask now would it?
