No, I'm not speaking metaphorically.
There is literally a ghost living in our bedroom. I think.
I haven't mentioned anything about it, not even to Ryan even though strange things have happened since we moved in about 2 years ago. For a while I just wrote it off as'the house setteling.' But, there is only so much 'settling' a house can do. Everyday at the same time I hear footsteps in our bedroom, it sounds like someone is walking around up there even though Ryan is at school or work, and the rest of us are downstairs. Because we live on a corner lot, I have thought many times that someone broke in. I grab a butcher knife and shakily walk upstairs tearing apart my room, always finding nothing.
Its been so bad before I have actually gathered up the kids, ran out to the driveway and called 911, certain someone was there. In tearing apart our room I find things that I knew I put away in places I knew weren't there before.
The hairs stick up on the back of my neck and I just know I'm not alone. I look under the bed, in the closet, every nook and crany thinking maybe someone is there. Always to no avail.
I'm not a believer in the paranormal or supernatural or whatever. I even stopped watching any and all scary movies because I believe these things are just designed to frighten ourselves. But, as LDS members we are taught the Spirit World is here on this Earth, and I cannot shake the this feeling of being 'visited.'
Alenna even notices it.
We don't talk about it.
I feel like in acknowledging it I have to admit it's really happening, or possibly we're just scaring ourselves. But, when we're in our room and she's in our bed, she will scream, "GOONEY!" and point to the other end of our room. She throws the comforter over her head and hides her head in the pillows. Her heart races and she shakes. Ryan walked around the room with her so she could show him and she freaked. Like I said, we don't watch scary movies and we certainly don't allow Alenna to watch anything scary.
It's not like we live in an old house or anything.
Our house is brand new. I find it odd and yet cannot deny it anymore.
I don't know anymore, I hate talking about these things but I hate that it's obviously not something just I am noticing anymore, anyone have any thoughts???

On man I am so sorry! Unfortunately I agree with you that there are spirits and we have to live with them. We have a house ghost or what I like to call them. I always lose thing but when I talk about it out loud, I find them weirdly in the middle of the floor in an area I just checked, and the girls are with me! It doesnt scary me because mine help me and the girls have never had issues with them. Except Savannah had 3 nights where she would wake up and scream for me, when I came in she would cling to me and when I would put her back down she would claw to hold on to me and I thought it was night terrors but maybe she just saw one of the ghost checking on her. I also get the hair thing but again I never feel weird with mine and I sometimes hear noises in the attic but I try to ignore it because that creeps me out! Luckily you are moving out right now right? Are you in with Ryans parents? That will be better. What scares me or bothers me is that Kids are more tuned to see things and that worries me because they are not prepared to handle that, like any of us are, but definately not them! Hope it gets better!
Thanks! Yeah, its always been more of a scary thing for me though when I lose something alot of times it just shows up too, like what you were saying. I'm probably just more jumpy about things like that than you are maybe!And yes we are moving out, so maybe we will be rid of it. Or maybe it will follow us. Whichever, i hope I get more used to it. Alenna does the night terror thing too, but now I'm thinking its not night terrors at all!
Holy cow girl... That is no fun at all! I'm with you though, and yes, unfortunately, I very much so believe that those kinds of things happen... About the first week or 2 when we first moved into our house on the base, I got that feeling, especially in our room, and it was just..... yucky! Haha I can't think of a beeter word. I hadn't mentioned anything to Shane about it and then one night I swear I heard a high pitch scream, and that was it for me. That same night, I told Shane we need to bless the house and he asked me why. Come to find out, he was feeling the same thing. So he blessed the house and immediately all the yuckiness was gone... And poor Alenna! Oh my gosh! Her little spirit's still pretty new here so I can't imagine what it is she sees! Don't be embarrassed to talk to Ryan about it. I mean, I know you guys are moving out but maybe you could get rid of it for a little bit before you go and for your next tenets!:o)
That is true maybe bless the house and see if it will get rid of the spirit! I did not think of it that way. I do not think that I am more used to it but I think that maybe your spirit is not as considerate of your feelings! You know how you feel like a loved one is with you when they pass away or you feel them with you, that is how mine feels. I think that if this spirit scares you it may not be a familiar spirit or conforting spirit. You poor thing and you are alone a lot, I am so sorry, I would hate that! I am sure it wont follow but I would try the blessing. Have you told Ryan about it? What does he say? I am sure if you are feeling it and Alenna, then maybe Ryan is too. Hope it gets better!
Thanks guys! We did bless our home when we first moved in so I'm not sure if it's a "bad" one or not. Its just that feeling of the 'heebie-jeebies' and now I'm afraid what Alenna has seen. I think pets and small children are so much more aware of whats going on around us than we are. Though I asked Alenna if the "gooney" was scary and she said yes. I will have to bring up to Ryan, I feel so silly, I'm really not one to 'ghost hunt' ya know?
Oh man I am so sorry sweetie, things like this are so scary because it is the unknown and having the babies around and seeing is way more scary! I wish I had better ideas for you and I wish I could give better advice. Let us know how things go when you tell Ryan!
Aren't you moving in with the in-laws soon? That ghost can be someone elses problem!
yes we are moving, we just found renters and will be out by April 1st. Hopefully it won't follow us, lol.
Crap I hate this stuff. Freaks me out. However, I do not believe "bad" ones hang around good people.
I hope not!!! I'm a jumpy person anways so maybe its just the fact that this topic freaks me out! lol.
