Before I get started forgive my spelling and typos. Also we been having problems that have been getting more agressive and more frequent in there happening for a while now and what ever it is it seems to like me and my wife arguing and problems with our kids. We have seen shadows before but up untill last night the shadows always ran by or disapeer when we notice them this incedent below was a first and also me and my kids are now getting our hair touch. Well here is what happen below

Last night was a active night !
My oldest was walking by the desk and a stack of papers flew off and hit him. he ask me and his brother if he some how hit the stack of papers. But we told him he didnt. In fact he was about a foot away from the stack of paper. Then a shoe flew off are shoe rack, while me and the boys were watching tv's.. Then the scariest thing I have happen to me personaly happen last night. I sleep on the couch so that I wont keep my wife up because I am awake most of the night because of health problems. Well I walk into my bedroom to get clothes that I sleep in. The room is mostly dark except for the light coming in the window and from the restroom. I am in the room grabing the clothes when I look up and at first I thought there was a person looking through the window because we dont have a curtain on the window. But the form wasnt standing outside of the window it was in the room and it was staring at me and I was staring at it.It was afront of the window and it block the light that was coming through and I just froze. it didnt leave it didnt disapeer it just stood there all black staring at me. I glance in the vanity that was next to me to see if it had a reflection and it did it was moving its head while it was looking at me kinda like some one  looks at a bug .I  then had such a feeling of fear that I left the room. Then I realise that my wife and som  were still laying in the room. So I ran back in the room but it was gone. I didnt wake up them or any thing. I just turn all of the living room lights on and went to bed. We have been having a lot of things happening like a glass shattered in are cabinet and animal sounds and scratching on the wall and tons of other things . Just wondering if there is any ideas of what it could be.

Hey there, welcome to UM. Now, I'm not going to comment directly on the situations you claim are happening as far as 'hauntings.'  No one here on UM will be able to honestly help you with that, as what you have given us, is a personal experience mixed with factual relational issues my friend. I am however going to comment and give some advice on some of the other things relationally you claimed.

You're telling us that you and your wife have been fighting a lot more lately, and there are issues with you children? I have to tell you straight off the two are not related. Whatever you "think" is happening in your home is not causing you and your wife to fight, nor the issues with your children. If you think there's a haunting going on, that's fine. But for the sake of your relationships with your family, separate the two or it will only get worse.

I suggest you sit down with your wife and open a line of communication. Get into the issues you two are having, and try to work them out together, as a team. Also, discuss what is going on with your children. Make a game plan on how to remedy the issues with them. Discipline, course of recourse that will be taken in the event they do something wrong etc.

I strongly suggest, if you and your wife cannot talk through the issues, seek a marriage counselor. They are an amazing asset and one you should definitely use.

As I said, please understand and see that the issues relationally and the "hauntings" in your home are not related. If you continue to attribute the relationship issues with this "haunting" you are only going to perpetuate the issues with your family. I urge you to follow my advice and go talk to someone. Cheers!

Hey I am thankful for the advice. But I didnt explain the situation well. With my health problems it is hard to for me to type some times. My kids problems are not acting out its anxiety over the being in a house that they are scared of. What I meant about my wife is her mood will change and she will get snappy at people right before things happen. I know my post is just my interpretation on what is happening I was just hoping that there were others having the same issues that I can relate with. There are screams and scratching here in this house . Im not crazy I am not on some meds. Im just a middle class man with a family.But being a skeptic as I have been in my life I promis to take a better look at our relation ship.

You see something like that INSIDE your house and you just turn off all the lights and go back to bed? Good god, I would have been up all night with every single light in the house turned on, huddled under some blankets with a Mossberg in hand if that happened to me...

Lol, he actually stated that he turned "all of the living room lights on" not off.   As would I, and yeah I agree with you, I'd be huddled under some blankets but with my phone in hand ready to dial for emergency assistance at a moments notice.

Hey there, thanks for the kind response. What you are describing with your wife is something that you should have a General Contractor look into as well as possibly even a Fire Marshall as these symptoms come from Carbon Monoxide poisoning and/or other gases that can lead to serious health problems and even death.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Symptoms

Exposure to carbon monoxide is most commonly accompanied by the following symptoms:

• Headache

• Dizziness

• Nausea

• Flu-like symptoms, fatigue

• Shortness of breath on exertion

• Impaired judgment

• Chest pain

• Confusion

• Depression
  
• Hallucinations
  
• Agitation
  
• Vomiting
  
• Abdominal pain
  
• Drowsiness
  
• Visual changes
  
• Fainting
  
• Seizure
  
• Memory and walking problems

I'm not saying it's FOR SURE some type of gas or poisoning but, I would have that checked as soon as possible and always look into natural explanations before leaping to the paranormal.

Now, as for your children and their anxiety and fears. I know it's difficult to keep them out of the loop when you and your wife feel there is some sort of haunting or "entity" in your house. The thing is, you MUST shelter them from this. Listen to them if they bring things up but then brush it off as something normal. When you and your wife are discussing things you think are happening, do not do it in front of them. Children cannot deal with their house, the place where they are supposed to be safe and secure without a care in the world, to be taken away from them. There's enough issues in the world and outside your front doors without taking their one place of safety and solice away.

I worked on a case where the parents were having a lot of the same problems as you. They would discuss everything in the open and in front of their children. The children started seeing things every minute of the day. Normal noises became ghosts. They didn't sleep, they became very ill and withdrawn. We ended up taking a very hard stance with the parents and over time the parents slowly regained the trust in their children. As the kids would experience things and tell the parents, the parents would calm them down and give them a rational explanation.

After a few months, the children returned to normal mentally, emotionally, and physically. It was amazing because the chidren stopped experiencing events after they were removed from the situation and reassured all things "paranormal" were simpy normal things in the world. We were able, during the course of these months, to also further investigate the root of the "paranormal" events happening in their home. With the help of a reliable GC and a few long days of work we were able to solve the issues all together.

Anyway, I hope this helps and you investigate all things natural before further pursuing the paranormal. I wouldn't want anything to happen to your or your beloved family!

reason for edit: ADD Content: I wanted to add also, everyone thinks of Carbon Monoxide poisoning as a quick poisoning that leads to serious issues within hours. However, in most cases, Carbon Monoxide is a slow leak that over long periods of time and exposure cause a lot of those symptoms I put above.

thats really strange, but it seems there is a lot of negative emotions in your house, im not saying its paranormal, but maybe you could set up a camera at night, or when your out of the house, just a suggestion.

It must've been terrible.. the worst part is if you dont know what to do, or how to take it in. If it's anything spirit-related, I'd say you'd do yourself a favor by moving out of the house. I've heard a first-hand story of a more minor haunting and it ceased after moving away. But it's a big decision, especially with children in the family, so check all other possibilities like what ColoradoParanormal offered, and stuff like that, first.

Good luck, I hope you'll find your way forward.

its scary to know of another entity (visible/invisible) with you in the same room...<shudder>

One of my acquaintances in my home town had a scary experience whilst visiting Zanzibar, in Eastern Africa off the coast of Tanzania. He had gone there to explore the possibility of initiating business activity. however, it seemed he was not....shall we say, well-liked and that day nothing went right. he came back to his hotel room and after a quick, short dinner alone, retired to bed. quite all of a sudden he realized he was not quite alone in his room- there was definitely someone there.he also recalled a smell of burnt rubber-like acrid, dirty smell in the room. suddenly his eyes moved to the top of the cupboard- there was something hunched thereupon and it had two glowing red eyes, looking at him. This gentleman is a devout person and he immediately recalled some of the simple prayers to God and started reciting them in his mind. that thing on the cupboard now was shown to have a dog-like face. as he started his chant, there seemed to come, from the dog"s eyes, red shooting flames. this gentleman was thoroughly scared and this went on till early morning before sunrise when the thing just vanished.
He realized he had not moved from his seated position on the bed . So shaken was he that he returned the same day back. till date he has had not done any business with Zanzibar
