This latest correspondence describes an entire plethora of phenomena that at first sight appear to be some form of restless spirit.

Within the last year I have experienced many strange things through out my house.

It all started when I took a photo of the christmas tree When I got the film developed there was a white cloud wrapping around my tree forming into a white ball, on the right side of the photo is a sidefiew of a mans face. I have looked at that photo for hours at a time and it very much resembles my dad that had passed away back in 86, you can see his forehead eye nose and chin.

Thats when it all started, little things like lights going on and off sometimes by itself, one night I was almost asleep and I sat straight up in bed when I heard loud footsteps coming from the kitchen, it sounded as if someone was dragging my kitchen chairs across the floor or kids running back and forth, but my kids were sound to sleep That happened a few times and one night I came home from a friends house and I went to go lay down in bed, as soon as I got under my covers something made a crashing noise into my bedroom door, and the door hit the wall, there was nobody home but me, then one evening I was doing my makeup to go out for the evening and through my laundry shoot I kept hearing a cat meowing, we have no cat, yet another time I heard a small child laughing from my closet when I opened it there was nothing there. My cellphone will come unplugged by itself, I had a photo of me and my boyfriend in a frame I walked into my bedroom oneday and it was on the floor when I went to put it on the dresser the picture was upside down in the frame, that really freaked me out Ive been wondering what is causing all this to happen?

At night I have a hard time falling asleep wondering whats going to happen next. my son is 6 years old he told me one morning why did you keep opening and closing the kitchen cabinets last night? I couldnt tell him it wasn’t me cause I dont want him to know. My daughter has also had things happen to her but we try to not let him know whats going on. What can I do to stop all this? Do we have some type of spirits through out our house or a ghost?
Please respond back.

You most certainly are experiencing a number of phenomena! But the cause is, I suspect, not created by some ghost or external entity. Much of what you describe can attributed to a poltergeist.

First described in 1838, poltergeists - from the German word for “noisy spirit” - can create all manner of noises, and often appear to move objects around, open and close doors, switch lights on and off, etc. In nearly all cases they are harmless, sometimes regarded as simply mischievous “spirits”.

Poltergeist activity has been frequently attributed as emanating from or centred about the women of a household, particularly adolescent girls who have not reached sexual maturity, or slightly older omen who have a great deal of emotional strain and stress within their lives. The activity seems to be an outward projection of inner energies, is uncontrolled, and leads to yet further stress on the individual so unintentionally creating them.

Often such phenomena simply disappear, but can be encouraged to do so through an active adjustment of any and all elements of life that are creating emotional strain and tension.

The answer is most certainly inward. I sincerely hope you rare able to discover a resolution to these troubling experiences.

I recently received this letter:

Hello my name is ******* and I am looking for some help. I often hear my three and half year old son talking to him self. One day I asked him who he was talking to. He told me ‘That man and lady, mommy’. I than asked him were are they and he pointed over my shoulder. I however didn’t see anyone. This was not the last ’sighting’ of the man and woman, but just one of many. I just wanted you to understand what I am saying. I need some help figuring things out with this, I am very freaked out about this. If you have any information about ANYTHING that might help I would greatly apprecate it.

Children are oft aware of elements we adults are not. It is something we lose as we grow into adulthood, and inherent intuition about the world around us that reveals what might be hidden from the five senses.

Whether this particular “man and lady” be actual entities of some nature, or merely representations of the child’s growing consciousness, cannot be told. If the child appears not to be in distress with their presence, there is little need to be concerned. However, do pay close attention to your reactions in the presence of the child as he will be encouraged to react in a similar manner to yourself.

You should ask yourself whether anyone close to the family has been recently deceased, or whether the child no longer sees someone who was once close to him, for whom the instinctive longing may manifest itself in this manner.
