[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 277998, member: 1991"] I do strongly feel that if you pulled up stakes and moved, because of this, you would be teaching difficult child that if you're afraid, you run away. Sometimes it's the right thing to do. But a lot of the time, you need to learn to stand your ground and face the fear, because if you run, you never will know if you could have handled it well or not. A fear faced is a fear made so small as to be insignificant. A fear avoided is a fear that remains. I don't see anything here to be afraid of. Part of me sees this as eeeky does - nothing supernatural, fears feeding off eachc other plus an old house with weird settling/expansion/contraction sounds. I've experienced "haunting" in the past that turned out to be fully explainable. But part of me also knows that sometimes, weird things happen for which there is no explanation. If you believe in haunting, then you need to recognise that in the vast majority of such cases, nothing bad happens to anybody. It's more like living with a flatmate, someone who shares the space but otherwise doesn't intrude too much. It means that if you're at home along, you're never truly alone, there is always someone to talk to if you want to. Believe in this if you feel there is sufficient evidence to justify it. But don't be afraid of this haunting. There is no reason to be afraid. Any stories you have heard of, of harm coming to people in a haunted house, are generally either entirely fictional or have been shown to be false (ie "Amityville Horror" - it has been thoroughly discredited). husband still believes the house he used to live in, in fact the very room he lived in, was haunted. However, he was very happy in that room. The rest of the house always felt welcoming, and even on those occasions when someone felt the ghost was near, there was never a sense of not being wanted there. It was more the feeling you get when you visit an elderly aunt who is holding out a plate of biscuits to you, that she has just baked. As if she knew that uni students now lived there and she wanted to enjoy life through our eyes and join in with the conversations and the company. difficult child does need to get over her fear and to really face it and deal with it. Otherwise the fear will be what will haunt her. Marg [/QUOTE]
