This sounds nuts, but call her by name and ask her to leave Olivia alone because she's scaring her and can't understand what is going on? <br />I demand an update.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818565776731697636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-50115069999336840442012-04-17T13:30:45.177-05:002012-04-17T13:30:45.177-05:00Call the ghost hunter people.

It is supposed to clear energy, and usually it is sage that is burnt. Native Americans also do it.<br /><br />If you're worried about smoke in your house, I also agree with Love, Life, and High Heels about telling Lillian to leave Olivia alone. You have to be serious and determined when you do it, though, no wishy-washiness or indecisiveness whatsoever.<br /><br />Sorry, I just figured it would be less of an essay if I separated the two posts rather than putting them all at once.RandomRamblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008863069670559744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-6712516670379660352012-04-13T22:59:58.633-05:002012-04-13T22:59:58.633-05:00Long comment ahead. But first I'd like to say,...Long comment ahead. But first I'd like to say, I have no doubt the sudden increase in sightings is because of your renovations. It probably freaks Lillian out that you're changing the house from what she knew.<br /><br />Now, I know a lot of people wouldn't take this idea seriously, but I recommend calling TAPS from Ghost Hunters-for multiple reasons. <br /><br />1) Their main goal is to help people out by giving them explanations. Multiple times, they've gone to houses where people are worried about paranormal activity. They are especially concerned when it comes to kids since they have their own. A link about their mentality: http://www.the-atlantic-paranormal-society.com/about-taps/taps-mentality<br />2) They are serious about their work. This stuff isn't a joke to them and they're not just doing it for fun. They've been doing it for too long to be making light of it.<br />3) They ALWAYS try to debunk certain claims which may have an ordinary explanation. If nothing else, it may make it easier to deal with the house. So maybe if there's something you're not sure about, they can check it out and let you know whether it's paranormal or not. For example, the creepy feelings. They could be associated with faulty electrical wires. That sort of thing.<br />4) If you're uncomfortable with the idea, I'm sure they would not broadcast their investigation of your house. If you would still be worried, I'm sure they know of other groups who could help you out.<br />5) Their services are FREE. It's right there on their website, in the mentality link I gave you.<br /><br />Give them a try. It may be exactly what you need to understand what is going on. And maybe they could ease Olivia's fears, as well.RandomRamblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008863069670559744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-3897312486925713352012-04-13T14:54:41.938-05:002012-04-13T14:54:41.938-05:00My kids say our house is haunted but I have never ...My kids say our house is haunted but I have never seen a person. ::shudders:: <br /><br />Can you move?

And no more appearances! <br /><br />Freaky though. Wow. Also- Can I spend the night??? :) Olivia and I will have a slumber party ;) but ps- I don't think I could sleep in her room alone.

My parents built the house I grew up in, but it still creeps me out.

When we first moved in, I found a kernel of popcorn just chilling in the middle of the kitchen floor. We had no popcorn in the house. I didn't think much of it, figured the cats batted some out from under the stove or something. But it happened again the next morning. That freaked me out. But I haven't heard or seen a thing since. Maybe the house was just welcoming us?

It turned on my Christmas lights one night and set off one of Kiddos toys that was boxed up. That scared the crap out of me since it went off about 2:30 am and I was asleep.<br />My sister, who is Wiccan, used to smudge every house she moved into. To get rid of negative energy. I am not sure if that includes spirits. I don't really remember. I do know it involves burning some herbs and walking around the house.<br />But, you do need to find some way to get rid of them or her.<br />Now, I have the hebejebes!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-89100498031740943602012-04-12T22:54:04.245-05:002012-04-12T22:54:04.245-05:00My house is over 110 years old and I have had the ...My house is over 110 years old and I have had the same issues here and there. I won't go into details but I can tell you that it is true these things tend to flair up during renovations. I don't know why. I think the best thing is to accept it and don't chow fear. I'm not sure how you can convince a child but maybe if you acknowledge that you believe her and that no one willhurt her... 'course that may back-fire. Just know you are not alonenor are you crazy. Things should return to normal once you are done with current project. No guarantees that Lillian won't come back during the next project.middle childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09805863175279915034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-48092214074549740462012-04-12T22:16:50.905-05:002012-04-12T22:16:50.905-05:00You should apply to The Dead Files! http://www.hel...You should apply to The Dead Files! http://www.helpmedeadfiles.com/?hootPostID=c8581748593ec63a25b053823dec6ecaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397290154377903947noreply@blogger.com
