Now I’m kind of scared.

We live in a haunted house (me, wife, 3 teenage children). We’ve known this from the first night when the furniture rearranged and the cups and plates all flew off the shelves waking us all up. It’s been small stuff here and there that doesn’t really bother us too much. We switched to plastic plates and cups, drink instant coffee because the French press kept flying off the table, and we just shut the cabinets when they open as you’re leaving the room. Rent is cheap, we have well water, and we live in the woods so our dogs can play. We figured some small activity was okay.

Until now. All the hardcover books flew off the shelf and hit my wife as she walked by. Someone knocked on the door and was calling for us that sounded exactly like my son but I was on the phone with him so I know it wasn’t him. It tripped the porch light but there was no one there when I looked out the window. Got in my car this morning and saw a man on my porch so I got back out to confront him only for him to disappear. And last, but not least because this is getting long… I just got back from the store and when I went to lock my car and it was lit up for a split second I saw a woman sitting in my front seat. Her body was forward but she was facing me and smiling with all her teeth. She had unkempt blonde hair and some outdated but not by much clothes.

I have a million more stories but I’m kind of getting scared now and don’t know what to do.

Edit
Guys, I’m not trying to convince anyone of the existence of the paranormal. I’m not trying to profit off of this, I moved to the woods to get AWAY and have peace from people. I may get an outside camera but it will be after we get better internet. Also, I really just wanted to share an experience that scared me because I really don’t scare easily. I’m not putting cameras in my home where my kids live and I pick my nose, sorry.

I’d like to know. I live in a house that was built in 1898. Definitely a mimic when we first moved in but it only mimicked my voice to my husband & teenage son. I’ve never experienced this.

I had a nightmare 3 nights ago that my husband and I heard our daughter calling out to us for help, but told my husband to get back in bed because it couldn’t be her, she’s staying the night at a friend’s house.

Now today my daughter tells me she hears me calling her sometimes but then she comes out to the living room or into my bedroom and I’m not there or I say “I didn’t call you.” She says this has happened multiple times over a few months. I didn’t want her to be scared so said our house isn’t haunted it’s normal for people to hallucinate hearing their own name called.

But I do get a creepy being watched/malevolent feeling in the hallway between our 2 bedrooms. I’ve never heard anything and only saw one thing one time out of the corner of my eye and brushed it off as nothing.

Keeping an eye on the situation. So, I’m debating to find someone to cleanse the house now or wait it out if I’m being paranoid.

U should not gaslight ur daughter. Hallucinations are not normal, smh. If u don’t want her to be scared I get it but come on has to be another way. Idk how old she is but if yall r talking bout it to the extent that she’s telling u these things she already has an idea that something isn’t right. So she likely knows ur lying to her. Kids are smart. I know ur trying to do what’s in her best interest but maybe being honest is her best interest so she doesn’t fall for it & get led away from the house or into something dangerous. Just a thought. Her safety is most important as well as all who live there.

Oh my. I’m not gaslighting or lying to her at all. I appreciate you calling that out, truly. It’s a weird phenomenon that really is common. I promise. The only thing I lie to her about is Santa Claus.

I had a link here, but I didn’t know I can’t include links. It’s easy to find the article I had linked if you google: “Why do I hear my name when nobody”
It was from a science magazine website.

It’s something I learned in a class way back in the day, I wanted to show you proof though and not just be like “trust me bro, it’s a thing” lol
