Every house I have lived in I felt like there has been something there but it's never been proven. I've been living in this house with my partner and 6 month old son for 7 months. My nanna died 2 years ago, I used to part live with my nanna and grandad and my parents.Recently strange things have been happening in my house, my dog wont go in my sons room he barks uncontrolably at the door and hides. My cats stare at the hallway and their hairs go up and they hiss?My son has recently started laughing at the corner of the room, there is only a lamp in the corner so it seemed abit strange. I didnt take much notice of it, but it is happening reguarly but only when its just me and him. I move him away so he can't see the corner and he riggles and turns to look at it, my boyfriend doesnt believe in spirits etc but he has noticed my son doing it to. He grins really wide and giggles as if someone is playing with him.Yesterday night I lay on the sofa with my son and he was trying to look at the corner, I moved him the other way so he couldnt see it (it was 4am and i was scared) then all of a sudden he looked next to me and smiled, my head went cold and numb, then then my torso, then my legs. I couldnt move at all and then started to slid off the sofa. My son cried which stopped me from feeling numb, it was like I came out of the trance.last night I thought I saw something in the mirror, I thought it was probs just a reflection off my glasses. But then my son looked towards the mirror and was laughing and trying to get over there.I'm really unsure what to do, my partner works nights so im alone at night and it's started to make me nervous.

I would not worry and if your child is laughing that's good. You are getting worked up about something that is quite common with young children.
We all have many beliefs on this type of subject...i personally believe in spirits and ghosts and have had my own experience's that have helped form my own beliefs. One could say it may well be harder to prove it does not exist...but all to our own.
Don't worry it may not last.

And so what if there is some phenomenon there that hasn't yet, in thousands of years, been proven to exist? You child doesn't seem to mind it. Why should you? I mean, if it is there, and is not just a figment of your own fear of death and the unknown, it isn't harming anyone.
Seriously. I could tell anyone my place was haunted, and someone would see SOMETHING to 'prove it'. Even if I just made it up.

 hi
get in touch with your nearest spiritualist church, lots of towns have them. interestingly though, you say that you have felt that every house you have lived in is haunted. maybe you (and your son!) have psychic power to sense things that other people don't. the fact the animals react the way they do, makes a convincing case. don't forget: not all spirits are bad, i believe that they are just lost souls that need help to find their way out of your house and onto, where they should be. don't let people fob you off with this, seek help to get this sorted

reader, anonymous, writes (22 January 2011): hmm...you bring up your son a lot. does most of the activity occur when you are with your son. I know that your son is 6ms so he must be with you most of the time, so is there any way you could have your son stay with a grandparent or friend that knows how to care for young children? If so, i think u should try that & see if you can still feel the presence. If so, how does it make you feel?
Not to sound scary, but the spirt could be attracted to your child. I personally believe god protects such young children from such...maybe that's why your son is looking off to the distance cause it can't get close? (i'm not sure if u believe in any religion). Maybe it's attracted to his energy. Or perhaps the mother & child bond? jealous?
First off, don't do anything--no burning sage, sprinkling holy water--you don't know what it is
What i think you should do is get a tape recorder and put it at the corner. You know how people record and play it back for sounds?? That could be helpful. But of course your son will also have to be there to so you could "hear" if a spirit may be talking to him. Plus, put one where your son sleeps. It could take hours and you might just hear one thing, maybe nothing. Is the corner cold?
Next, get a disposable camera and take pictures of the corner when your son laughs at it. And take pictures of anyplace that gives you an odd feeling, or that your dog barks & cat hiss
Pay attention to your feelings. Getting a book and writing down the place, what happened and the time of the occurrence. You may notice that the spirit is more active at certain times of the day
Since you say that you went numb, I doubt the spirit is innocent and playing. But it is curious it focused it's energy on you... But at least your son was unharmed, just scared. He's under three so he won't remember any of this
Since your husband doesn't believe in such stuff, he's probably not as sensitive to the supernatural, sort of cut off yet he has noticed your son's unusual attention to the corner
Perhaps try praying for protection. Whenever I feel a spirit or something negative, i try to focus my energy while praying for a bit, and breath it out and imagine a barrier.
Try to find someone you can talk to.
You will probably need to talk to someone professional, whether it be a priest or not. Catholic priest believe in spirits and could do a blessing for you
hope i helped a bit. good luck & feel free to post any updates

I'm not saying that would you have experienced is all your imagination but being on your own at night and thinking there's something there can make you see and hear things that are sometimes easy to explain.
If you are really finding it hard to be on your own, you need to tell your husband. He may not believe in this sort of thing but if he knows you are frightened there might be a way of arranging something so you aren't on your own so much.
Could you have a friend or family member stay over sometimes?
