I hope you all don’t end up thinking that I am nuts, but I would like to get some opinions on this.
I have a 10 year old daughter who is telling me that she sees people in the house that aren’t there. This is frightening to her, and we have explined to her that these thing were probably dreams since she was quite possibly dosing off at the time. I would just leave it at that, but there are other things that have happened when she was much younger. Once when she was about 3 she said to me “Mom, who is that lady” she was pointing at the wall in the kitchen. When I questioned her about what lady, she just continued to point, and then began to get frustrated as if she thought that it should have been plain to me. She did not get afraid at that time, but she did act as though she thought that I should also be seeing what she was seeing.
There have also been times when she was younger than 3 when she seemed to see people. My husbands grandmother died just shortly after we were married My daughter was born about 2 years later. She would often point and say Nana, again there was nothing there. Many times when she would do this a lightbulb would burn out in the room, sometimes 2, at the very moment that she said Nana.
In our home, we also have problems with some types of technology. We once had a wireless alarm system installed, and it would arm and disarm by itself. The tech said that he wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t seen it. This is an impossibility with this type of alarm, there was never any explanation, we switched to a system with wires. We also have a similar problem with our internet going out, the cable company is puzzled at the problem we have, again, they claim that it is an impossibility. We have also had difficulty with our lightbulbs burning out in very short periods of time. Once we ordered bulbs with a 5 year warranty, when we called them three months later and told them that they had all burned out they refused to replace them because they didn’t believe us. We have moved since then, and the problem isn’t any better in this house.
I hope you don’t all think that I am crazy, but when she claimed that she saw someone walking up our stairway when we both new that there wasn’t anyone there, I put all of this together, and wondered what could be the explanation.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might handle it if the next time she is not about to go to sleep. The occurances when she was little happened when she was very much awake, I am afraid that I won’t know what to say if this is the case the next time it happens (if it does).
