Subject: Presence in my house - quite fun

:confused:???

I have a presence in my house. It's a man and I think he's of about age 40 and all I know is that he wears dark trousers and shoes. He seems to make his presence felt when I'm doing the hoovering. The first time it happened - I was hoovering the stairs and I looked up and gasped as I "knew" there was someone watching me from the top of the stairs - but of course, nobody there.

The second time it happened was when I saw out of the corner of my eye these "dark trousers and shoes" but he'd gone by the time I focussed on where he was standing. My OH has experienced a cold spot in this area and there are definitely no draughts around. I've not had any cold feelings but lately, when I've been hoovering I get a very strong sense that I'm being "watched". Almost as if this man is fascinated by me hoovering

We've also had the usual doors slamming, footsteps heard on the living room ceiling when both in the kitchen (3 storey house). I'm not frightened, it just makes me

that the presence likes watching me hoover - typical man then

Incidentally my neighbour has had several incidents in her house and is scared to death - I've been in her house and I feel nothing. She thinks it's her OH's nan getting annoyed when she's sitting down and not doing jobs

I'm going to leave my "man" alone for now. He's not hurting us and I think he's just "visiting" to be honest. The house had a strong sense of happiness when it became ours and it continues to feel happy now that we've been there for 5 months

Sorry for rambling slightly - I just fancied posting on here. Oh and we'll be getting a digital camera soon so am hoping to get some pics of "orbs" and such like. Already have an "orb" on my OH at a picture taken at a wedding last year. Very cool

Lil Honeybun, I think it's nice that you feel a presence in your house but aren't scared by it, as you say it seems like he is just visiting you and obviously doesn't mean any harm. As long as your house feels safe and nice to you then I would just be pleased you have some company while doing your chores!

For a few months after my mum died, my dad swore he could feel her presence in the house. Little things like if you were in lower level of the house, you swore you could hear someone walking across the floor above. Sounds like a cupboard opening and different house-type noises. I can't say I heard or felt anything when I was visiting, but my dad wasn't bothered by it. In fact, I think he took some comfort from the experience.

I thinks its wonderful for you, and I cant see it being a dark presence as you are not scared or intimidated (but of course this may say more about you than about him

) Have you any idea on the background of former owners of your house, it may be interesting to find out a little more? I think if your gut feeling is that the house is a 'happy' house then it is the right home for you

when i was 5 we exchanged houses with someone and on the day of the move, the people we exchanged with, their son died in a motor bike accident. i felt a presence the whole time i lived there (11 years) i also heard a guitar being strummed in the middle of the night, and footsteps on the stairs. most disturbing was things being moved.

I stayed in a house some years ago that had a very definate unhappy feel about it.As soon as you walked in you could feel it. Also things would be moved and lights would go off.It was quite spooky and was glad to leave there.I could quite happily live with a happy presence but not that.

I seem to get vibes and for years I used to wonder what it was. It's only since I hit 25 and got older that things started to make sense to me. In my mother's house I used to get a feeling of people shouting - very nastily - but only in the bathroom. I found out about a month ago, when chatting to my mother about it, that a family that lived there during the 40s/50s were not very happy. The man had gone to serve in WW2 and his wife had been having an affair whilst he was away. When he returned, he found out and my mother can remember her mother saying that there used to be terrible rows in the house. And who knows the reason why I felt this in the bathroom and not anywhere else in the house is unknown to me. But the bathroom did used to be a bedroom (in the days of outside loos and tin baths in front of the fire). It might have been their bedroom? Who knows. I have come very close to attending a spiritualist church but something keeps holding me back. My OH's mum is supposed to be having a "psychic evening" and I will go when she's arranged it. I'm not afraid at all. I will just have to remember to go in with an open mind and not hope that there is a message or something for me.

When my mum brought me home from the hospital as a baby strange things began to happen in the house. At first no-one said anything to the others(mum,dad, 2 much older bros, 2 uncles & my sis) for fear of being laughed at, apparently(I was only a teeny babe & knew nothing of this) this went on for a few months until my oldest brother brought the subject up at dinner time one day. It seems that the 'main thing' happening was a feeling of being pushed back when climbing the stairs, the further up the stairs they got, the stronger the pressure they felt on their chest pushing them back, they said it became almost unbearable as they reached the top step. Being catholic my mother decided it was time to get the priest in to bless the house, he came in & started in the living room, on going into the hall to bless that area he stopped, & told my family that it would probably do more harm than good to continue with the blessing, he left advising my family they would be better off finding somewhere else to live. My folks applied for another house & were prepared to take any move, they were offered somewhere almost immediately in another region of the country & decided to take it(I was 6 months old at this point & the 'pressure' at the top of the stairs was getting stronger as time went on). When the council checked the house before allowing my family to move on, they insisted that the wallpaper in one of the bedrooms needed replacing, so my father & 2 older bro's set to redecorating the room. When they stripped off the paper from the bedroom walls they discovered a small section on one of the walls that looked like it had been previously opened up & then plastered over. One of my brothers wanted to try & open it up but my father insisted they just repaper the room & get out ASAP. My family never had any more problems of this nature after we left that house, it's been suggested that a small child coming into a place can start up strange/paranormal activity, I don't know & I have no memory of it(obviously) but it certainly put the 'willies' up my family. I'd like to say that I try & keep an open mind about things as far as possible, however, there is 'something' in the house where I am at the moment, but it's more 'mischevious' than scary/problematic, much of the time things will go amiss, I know exactly where I left the item in question but when I look it's not there, I go to another room, come back & bang there it is where I already looked & it wasn't(heehee very funny lol). I've also quite often caught glimpses of 'someone' peeking around the door of the livingroom & bathroom from the hall, but it's more a comforting thing than something fearful so it doesn't bother me. It's more than likely that it's my imagination anyway:)
