Children Scare the hell outta me - Part II

I returned to the family house on Sunday night, this time i came with equipment. They told me that they had contacted the medium i had recommended to them and that he had been round the night before.

He had managed to contact the spirit occupying the home and confirmed that it was the Fathers, father in the home. He was hanging around to watch over his family. He apologised for scaring them, and told them he only wanted to watch his family grow. The mother was very emotional at this point, and asked him to leave. He did.

By the time i got there on Sunday, it was too late. There was nothing to investigate. I was a little but gutted, i was really looking forward to getting back into things, getting back to normal, but hey, sometimes life doesn't work out how you hoped.

Children scare the hell out of me

I went on my first investigation in more than a month the other night. It was a private one, i had been contacted via a friend of a friend, and as i haven't fully completed the investigation, i cannot release any real notes on my findings, but i did ask the owners if i could say a little something on my blog about it, and they were more than happy to allow me to do so.

The house that they live in has been in their family for decades, it had been hand-built by the husbands fathers father in the early thirties. A small, but roomy farmhouse, it sits on the outskirts of Woking, UK. They own quiet a bit of land too with the house, and use it mostly for small farm animals, Ducks, Geese and Chickens, all of whom have free roam of not only the land outside the house, but can be found time to time sitting in front of the TV.

Currently the house is occupied by three, A husband and wife, married for seven years, together for ten, and their daughter age five.

They have believed their house to be haunted since the father had died and had always assumed that it was his spirit lingering in the shadows of the rooms. They had some amazing photographs and video footage to show me, and unless they were good at Hollywood type SFX, i had no real need to do an investigation, but they wanted to be sure, they wanted to know that it wasn't their minds just playing tricks on them or light being caught in the lens of their camera.

I arrived late on a Friday night, its not my normal routine to come straight in at night, but i had to wait for my mother to get home so that there was somebody in the house to take care of my father.

As i arrived they were just putting their little girl to bed, she was crying, saying that she didn't want to see the man that night, that he was going to try and scare her again. I asked the parents if i could speak to the girl for a while and they obliged.

I asked her about the man, i asked her if he spoke to her. She just stared at me. Of course, i was a stranger in her house, in her room, why would she want to speak to me?

I could see that she wanted to speak to me, her eyes we focused right on me. It took a few minutes, but felt longer, and then she whispered something, hardly moving her mouth as if she didn't want anybody to know that she was talking.

I asked her what it was she was saying.

"He doesn't like you" she whispered again, this time a little louder and clearer.

I asked her who.

"He says that you are a bad man"

"Is he here?" i asked her. She just nodded and pointed to her wardrobe.

Now, if you know me, you will know that kids, they just scare the hell out of me, especially the ones that say stuff like this.

The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end and i wanted to leave the room for a moment, as i did, the girl fell straight to sleep.

I spoke to the parents downstairs and explained that i would return in a few days with more equipment, and find out for sure if the place was haunted. In any case, especially one like this, i recommend a medium. One that i believe in.

I return to the house on Sunday to conduct the beginning of the investigation.
