Anyway, my aunt bought one of these houses as a summer home, and apparently there was a little girl that died in the old house before it was moved. Every time she goes down there she says she loses her keys, when she always hangs them up by the door when she goes in. She also hears laughing all the time which freaks her out. She was convinced there was a ghost and started researching the house and stuff...and now when her keys go missing she says "Okay I'm going to close my eyes and count to three and I want my keys back" and when she opens her eyes and looks around she'll find them on a table somewhere. I don't know how much of that is true, I've never experienced it, but its still creepy.

My nephew (2y/o) has started seeing things too now - makes me wonder if kids have a special kind of sight, or are just open to these things or something. He started talking about "the woman in the cupboard" saying that she was looking at him, and that she was in his bedroom at night and touched his head, had a nasty smile and he didn't like her... well after he told my sister about this, she freaked out and phoned my mum who told her to calm down and just phone a few people up and talk till her OH got home... she hung up and when she tried to phone out to someone else the phone was just making an odd fizzing noise. She bolted, but her son still talks about this lady and it's really freaky. I would have moved if I were here.

Another example that really can't be explained away is my philosophy teacher from college had a 3 year old who started talking about a man in his bedroom, who wanted to hurt the woman with her baby. The woman's baby had "pox". The children at his nursery had chicken pocks so you assumed he meant this and asked, "Do you mean chicken pox?" and he said, "no THE pox!" (seems an odd thing for a toddler to say??) so anyway, she asked more about him and he gave a name (I don't remember what - I think it was German) and said he was supposed to look after the ladies and her baby but he wanted to hurt them and she was very scared. So anyway, Sarah (my teacher at the time) had actually joked when she moved in (because the property was new-built), "At least we won't have any ghosts!" ... but she looked it up on the net, and apparently her house was built on the site of the old small pox hospital! And a doctor who used to work there, I forgoet his name but it was the name her little boy had given her, had been hung because it turned out he had been murdering the patients!!

So yeah, I believe.
