Do you believe in spirits/ghosts?

I know some of yall on facebook have seen this already.

Last night we had a really crazy scary night. Frankie woke up at 3 which is normal'ish with these teeth coming in, so I put him in bed with us because I just wanted to sleep obviously. He wasn't falling asleep and just wanted me to hold him. So I got up to make him a bottle.  As I was standing in front of the fridge he had climbed out of our bed and came to meet me in the kitchen. He was whining for me to hold him, like pulling on my leg whining and bitching. Then suddenly he sat down and he slid sideways into my entry hallway. Like fast, it's at least 4 feet he slid. He didn't crawl he slid sideways while still sitting up! So I ran over to grab him and I tried to call for my husband and I couldn't speak. I tried to scream and I couldn't make a sound.  I ran back in the room and while I was going through frankies room I got lightheaded and dizzy and I still couldn't call my husband. I had no voice at all. Then Frankie grabbed his bottle out of my hand and I felt like I snapped out of a fog.

So I go to my bed I lay Frankie down between us with his bottle and he's sleeping within 5 minutes. Im having a hard time processing what just happened and just want to hide under the covers. My husband is still asleep and then we hear Frankie cry, but from his room. But he was in bed with us knocked out. We heard it for about a hour off and on then it stopped for a little bit. Then would start again, all night long we heard baby cries from his room while he was sound asleep in bed with us.


I don't know what happened how to explain him sliding across the floor or hearing cries all night. My nerves are shot, were putting Frankie in the pack and play in our room tonight. I dont want anyone to think im crazy. I was crying just trying to tell my husband the part about him sliding across the floor. I've never seen anything like it in my life. We have a friend that's a priest and my husband is going to call him tonight to see about blessing the house.

I know all this sounds insane and if you think im crazy I dont blame you but I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen or heard it with my own eyes and ears. The fact that my husband heard the cries too really makes me worried because he's the biggest skeptic you've ever met.

    Holy crap!!!!! I got chills just reading your post!!! That is scary!! I would have been out of the house, fast! I do believe in stuff like that and I am so sorry that happened!! Was this the first time anything odd at all has happened in the house?? Hopefully you can move soon, right???!!!!
    Yeah i've never experienced anything like this ever. The only thing that is remotely close is sometimes the lights in our kitchen will go off and one randomly. That's it. This is making me want to leave this house NOW!!!!

    And i think 3-4 is the witching hour, whenever i wake up between 3-4 i always think it and try to stay in bed....so freaky..hearing the cries is ridiculous. Any of the other kids hear anything?
    Nope we told them what happened this morning and they never heard anything. After that I do not want to put Frankie in his bed. My husband is setting up a trail camera in his room tonight.

  • MrsKBerlo said:
    Cant wait to hear if the camera picks up anything, please let us know tomorrow!! I'd try and get the area where he slid on camera too.
    Yeah I think he's going to set one up in Frankie's room and one in our kitchen where everything happened. I don't think im going to sleep very well tonight. 

    We had begun packing last week and the cross that I got from my grandmas funeral was packed up, it has always been on the wall above our bed. I literally unpacked it first thing this morning and hung it back on the wall over our bed.

    That is a good idea.  Although I would probably be to scared to watch it. Your story gave me chills.  I would seriously be freaked out and getting out of there ASAP. 
  • that is SCARY!  like he was being dragged?  like in the Paranormal Activity movies?  holy shit!

  • Reading that gave me chills.

    I've had experience with it, and I do believe in them, but probably not in the way most people do.

  • That is terrifying! Especially since "it" moved Frankie! It's one thing to move objects but another to start touching and affecting people!

    I've never experienced anything myself but I've heard stories.  My coworker believes there is a child ghost in her home.  She and one of her sons have seen him. But he seems to be friendly and harmless. One of their dogs would freak out and bark to the air. Things would fall of tables, a single frame would fall from the wall.  Furniture would move upstairs when nobody was there. So I don't doubt spirits exist.

    Maybe your MIL is doing some voodoo on you?? :-O

    Hopefully whatever is in your home leaves asap!
  • Im overnighting you some creole seasoning!!!!!! Hehehehe! At least you & stoked with get that! Lol!

    But seriously.. next time put a warning up.. MANDIE DO NOT READ THIS!!!!! You know I am here by myself and now all Im going to be thinking about is this!!!! And when Im up at 3-4am.. I'll be calling you!!!!

    In the meantime, burn some sage around your home, into the closets and corners of rooms and all of that.  You can also put a thin line of salt in front of all doorways.
    I do believe in them and feel them at times too, but apparently it runs in my family because my aunt can see them and my Grandfather and father are sensitive too. I would agree with @MissMusic, smudge with smudge sticks and go forward with the blessing. Let us know what happens, hopefully it's uneventful. Maybe they're just sad that you're leaving?

    Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.

    It was like he was being scooted. As if someone just slide him across the floor by his butt. It was unexplainable..

  • I almost started crying reading your post that sounds absolutely terrifying. I'm so sorry you experienced that. I believe evil spirits are very real and I very much believe in praying against them. I will send prayers your way.

    Did the baby cries sound like Frankie or different?
    It sounded like Frankie. When we first heard it I looked over at my husband and he was patting his butt to make him quit crying and I told him he's not crying. So he stopped and we just listened and it sounded like him. That's when we just looked at each other like wtf?! I mean he was sleeping hard in between us there is no way that was him crying.

    Is there anything new e.g. pictures, figurines, random objects that you have brought into the home?

    The reason I ask is several years ago, my cousin's piano (she was a concert pianist) started playing by itself at weird times during the night and day. And as this went on, other creepy things started happening. One day her best friend witnessed the piano "episode" and started asking my cousin questions, and then looked around her apartment. She noticed a new picture of some famous musician lady that was hung on the wall by the piano, and asked my cousin when she had gotten the picture - she realized she had gotten it shortly before all the weird stuff started. They researched this lady and found out that she was also heavily involved in witchcraft and satan worship stuff.
    My cousin trashed the picture, and never had the episodes again.

    Always, my husband is a pack rat. I couldn't pin point any one thing either. We just did a clean sweep of the house because of us packing i've made several trips to goodwill within the last week. I really can't think of anything that would qualify as that type of object. Usually he brings home man toys like drills, and tools.

  • My Hs family has a BnB in an old building in our downtown area and my mom stayed there once when she was visiting. She heard someone walking the halls all night long. She thought it was another guest or my H (he's does the property maintenance). Nope. My mom was the only person in the building. My H even verified that there wasn't anyone with the security tapes

    That's what I thought when I saw her Facebook post.  Hahahahaha.

    This is exactly what I was thinking.  I don't believe in ghosts as in people die and become ghosts, but I absolutely 100% believe there is a spiritual world around us and it's full of good and evil.  I'm praying against whatever it is that's in there.  They're definitely not on the good side because those leave peace in their path, not fear.  Keep us updated.

  • I believe you. I posted a while back about the cat that is haunting our house. It's not scary but its definitely here. My fiancé had some scary shit happen when he was a teen. His super religious grandmother came over did something, not sure what, but they never had a problem again.

  • I'm so sorry you had this terrifying experience. I cant even imagine how you feel now. Hopefully the priest blessing the house will drive whatever it is away. Id use it as an excuse to leave for LA today. ;)

  • Didn't you recently have a strange photo that you took of Frankie that something else showed up on it? Maybe I'm making that up, someone suggested it was a double exposure or something.

    Yeah it was double exposed. I think its on my Facebook, I need to see of I can find it!

    I should clarify: I believe you too.  I may not be 100% in the spirit camp, but I believe that people are truthful regarding what they see.
    This is me, too.  I'm not sure that I believe in ghosts in this way (I'm not sure that I don't, either), but I do believe that freaky shit happens all the time that we don't/can't fully understand, and I totally believe that this really happened to you.  I'd be flipping out too!

  • I totally believe in it and got chills just reading that!

    We lived in a rental for almost a year when Cortlandt was around 18 months old and he used to wake up screaming with his eyes open but would be "looking through" us no matter how much he tried to comfort him or talk to him its like he completely wasn't there and it used to freak us the eff out! He would also wake up talking about the "ball" above his bed so we got our preacher to come pray over the house and it all stopped!

    I hope you guys are able to get answers because I know I had stopped sleeping at night and started bringing him into our room at night!

    ::hugs::
  • This one!

    That is particularly creepy now that you heard a second baby crying! Because the second Frankie is in black and white it looks like an old picture of a baby the used to live there! Bahh! 

    shhhhhhh not listening....lalalalalalala ;)

  • Holy crap!  I couldn't access this post from mobile today and just opened it now.  You poor thing!  I can't imagine how freaked you must have been.  I'm amazed you were able to stay in the house.  I hope the priest can come bless everything.  I'm SO GLAD you are planning on moving soon!!!

    Since I am not alone in having ESPN or something I thought I would share a less scary but still weird experience...

    A few years ago I went to Rome with my parents. We flew from Chicago to Zurich and then on to Rome. We landed and then took a train to the city center then the subway to the area our hotel was in and finally a bus or two. It was an exhausting two days. While we were on the bus, I was trying to figure out if we were on the right one and where to get off for our hotel and just getting totally flustered. Two teenage-looking girls noticed my distress and offered to help figure it out. Turns out they were Mormon, in Italy on their Mission trip, so bonus for us in that we could communicate clearly in English (I excel at ordering food in about five languages but that's about it!)

    So they helped us straighten out the bus situation and even got off at the hotel with us and assisted us with our luggage. As they were about to go my dad asked if he could give them a hug. They obliged and disappeared and that was that.

    The whole time, I mean from flight to flight, to train to train to bus to bus, my dad was cool as a cucumber.

    Six months to a year later something came up in conversation regarding our trip and I asked my dad why he wasn't even the least bit concerned about finding our way to the hotel that day.

    He told me he had dreamed about that day a while before our trip...and that he was not worried because he knew that we would have help. The girls on the bus even had the same names as the girls in his dream.

    But he isn't alone, I do this too, I have noticed. I have dreams that happen. And a really strong gut instinct. I trust it. And I maybe believe in angels.

    Anyway, @reinedecajun, I am sending prayers and positive energy in your direction.
    I love this story!

  • Holy Crap!!!!!!!!  Just read this and I would be completely freaked out.  I live in RI, which is where the real house depicted in the Conjuring is located (about 20 min from the house) and there is NO WAY I could ever watch it.   I don't like scary movies anyway, never mind something close to home.  I don't know that I could stay in my home after an event like you experienced.

     

    My aunt "came" to me in my dreams to say goodbye when she died.  I woke up in the morning and my mother told me she died overnight and I was like "yeah, I know".  Didn't think it was at all weird but the rest of my family did.

  • Yes! I do believe and spirits come to me, but I cannot control it. It is so hard to explain, but it happens, mostly when I am in the shower, probably because that is when I tend to let my mind ponder things. I am very sorry this happened to you and I hope you can do a sage cleansing until the priest can come. The cross will help too. Don't take it down until you are literally leaving. One other thing..look very closely at the photo you posted. Look at the top right of the exposed portion and you will see a baby boy, which is not Frankie. Sorry if this scares you, but I clearly see him and he looks like he is crying.
