What’s your haunted house story?

[Bretrick]

Geeveston Tasmania, 1991. Visiting friends on farm 15 km's from town. They had a 6 month old baby.
First night there was awakened at 1 am by baby crying, waited for Mother to go to baby. She did not, baby kept crying. I got up to check on baby, crying stopped, baby was asleep. Went back to bed, baby started crying again, got up again, crying stopped. Baby was asleep. Mother came into room, "What are you doing"? "Thought I heard baby cry" " Well, she's not, go back to bed"
Did as instructed. Baby started crying again. Much more to this story but too long to go on.
Had any occurrences like this?

about 20 years ago I was walking along a beach towards dusk. Mild wind blowing...
I was in deep thought about something, but felt there was something to the right of
me, almost like a heaviness of body? I had went there to think, a beach I maybe had
visited three times before over the years.

I felt three taps on my right shoulder, and it startled me, as I turned around thinking
maybe another beach stroller but nothing was there. I kept walking but felt uneasy
as a bit of a stronger gust seemed to press against my body and face. I stopped!
I said out loud "if you are here to bother me, whatever and whomever you are, please
stop" I kept walking realizing I had about another 20 min before the sun set. So about
5 min later, exact same thing occurred, the three taps on my right shoulder, but seemed
to be a more aggressive poke. I was scared, yeah I was. I continued to my car and drove
off. That was it, but I've never forgotten the bit of fear I felt.

Experiences such as this makes me wonder, are we all there is?

One story should be on my blog but I've to check first as it's been a while. It's about a semi where Mother, Grandmother and Grandfather lived briefly. Twas a brothel years before and had seen its fair share of troubles. It scared the ebeejebees out of my friends who read it.

The second one, I lived in it, it was True Poltergeist activity. As well as being a particular sacred but old grounds, there was another kind of activity which, at the time, I couldn't put my finger on what else was lying under, but it turned out to have been very dark magic. Only discovered this recently. Now, looking back on it, makes sense. Thankfully, kitty was there and others for protection.

Another house on the outskirts of the immediate area, which I lived in too but didn't write out, had loads of activity in the basement. I was able to clear the bad energies with sage.

Most other incidences occurred quickly while visiting potential future homes. These were vacant and for rent. However, hubby relied on my intuition and/or instincts. A few of them, it was immediately upon crossing the threshold. The environment was heavy and the energy dark.

Sometimes, specific odours would reach my nostrils, other times, shadows would manifest. Once, we questioned a rep by reporting what I'd felt, finding out what had taken place within the particular walls. Yes, they admitted it and we refused to sign on the dotted line.

I could tell quickly, if someone had done rituals or used a Ouija board... Once, I saw an opened portal. Grabbed hubby and the lady rep and bogged out of there at top speed. Another one, I didn't even want to leave the car as the spectre in the upstairs window was too horrible to even look at for more than a minute.

You may get a brand new build... Nice! But what happened on the land it's built on? A superb Edwardian cottage might be dirt cheap but look at the history and the residents. You might change your mind quickly about your next property purchase...you don't want to be leaving in the middle of the night...

Some people are definitely receptive to "goings on".
Over the years, many experiences have me wondering if here and now is all there is.

If this story seems familiar I have told it here before.

When my son was a baby we lived in a cottage on the outskirts of a remote village in Cornwall.

The stair opened directly into the kitchen and my son could frequently be found sitting at the bottom of the stair gurgling with laughter and "chatting" away in baby talk looking upwards. When the local policeman's wife brought her baby daughter to visit who is the same age she would join him there chatting and gurgling happily and. The dog would sit there with the tip of his tail beating on the floor.

Neither child ever held their arms up to be picked up nor did the dog ever move forward to be petted:

When we mentioned this the village elders they said , Ah that'll be the old people. That used to be the alms house.

Neither my wife or I ever felt any be 9 or evil influence add my wife is "fey" and would be expected to pick up any such aura (remember my post about the witches burning).
