How far away is the nearest neighbor? Is it possible that if a neighbor's child cried out loud enough (with an open window, perhaps) you would hear it?

Same with sounds on stairs ... could it be a neighbor coming home after late shift, stomping up stairway loud enough that you could hear it? That may explain why two of these instances were happening around the same time - 2 a.m.ish.

Otherwise, the other incidents can be coincidental. Not unusual that a child who is in a "new" home may not be comfortable in their room at first. He may want to sleep in the hall because he feels closer to his dad and you.

And electronics are known to often have a "life" of their own and do crazy, unexplicable things.

I'm not a believer either, but that is creepy!

Creepy! That is all I got. :O

I have a similar story.

July 2016 move into new house: 5 kids DH and myself with two aged dogs.
Sept. 2016 hear footsteps walking upstairs, everyone is at school and DH is working in the garage. I ignore it, thinking house is creaking.

October 2016. DH and I are in the bedroom and I just gave SS4 his lunch downstairs at the table. Everyone else is at school. I hear SS4 come running up the stairs to in front of my room, I open the door, expecting to see SS4.... nobody there. I call out SS4 why aren't you eating your lunch, he calls from downstairs at the table. I'm at the table eating my lunch Mom!!

Dec. 2016. Hubby comes upstairs late from working in the garage, hears kids giggling. Check all the kids, everyone asleep.

May 2017. I'm taking a bath and hubby is brushing his teeth and the bathroom door shuts very quickly. All on its OOOWWWNNNN!!!

I never thought these things were real either but DH and I both heard and saw these things.

I'm a believer based on my past experiences. It's time to move.

I would call TAPS

I'm also a believer. I grew up next door to a funeral home. I saw and heard some weird stuff as a kid. I can't tell you how to get rid of it. We did the sage thing. It helped for a while.

I had similar experiences many, many years ago in my sisters very old house. I'd be baby sitting and would hear sounds at night when the kids were supposed to be sleeping.

Their cat was sitting on the back of a sofa staring into a back room and it started to follow something with it's eyes. I couldn't see what it was so I thought it might be a fly. Then the creaking sound as if someone was walking up the stairs, the cats eyes following the noise. I then hear kids laughing and giggling and running back and forth along the upstairs hallway. I called up to the kids to go back to bed. No response, so I went up to check on them. Kids were sound asleep. I went back downstairs and went back to reading my book and watching TV. I heard the stairs creak again. The cat looked up and started following something to the back room that I couldn't see myself. After staring into the back room for a moment, the cat jumped down from the back of the sofa and went up stairs...

The house was in the country, no nearby neighbours.

I don't really believe in the paranormal, but so many things happened over my life time that makes me question if there is something more to this life or something more out there...

My aunt and uncle stained and then shellacked the floors in their 100 year old house.
He would paint himself up the stairs each evening, they had a back set of stairs if they needed to get out.

They came downstairs in the morning after it was all finished to find a woman's high heeled footprints in the shellac. They went from the kitchen across the dinning and living rooms and up the stairs.
They didn't match any of the shoes in the house.

Creepy.

Goosebumps!!! Wow, S.C.A.R.Y.

I don't know how you can't believe if you both heard the same thing.

I am a believer. My grandma comes around and I get a whiff of her perfume and cigarette smoke. Especially if I am really upset.

I don't recommend the ouija board, though!

I would also recommend finding a local psychic. My mom used to be friends with one and she could touch objects and tell you things that happened that no one had told her. She's since passed away, though.

I also have experience working as an investigator, and I did it way before this stuff was trendy. I can pick up objects and tell you about the owner, and a friend that died told me a whole bunch of stuff about himself AFTER he died that turned out to be true that I couldn't have known.

What you are describing, assuming there is no other rational explanation that you may be overlooking, is definitely on the more disruptive side. I have spent a lot of time in a lot of places that are definitely haunted, and actually audibly hearing someone speak (not just a whisper on a tape recording or a voice in your head) has never happened to me. Of course, you and DH were sleeping so you probably both dreamt it or "heard" it between asleep and awake. The possessed electronics are pretty normal and not a big deal. I just keep extra batteries on hand. I have witnessed stuff moving on its own before, but it was a major thing that happened once and was heavily provoked, and not a daily occurrence.

Regardless of whether you have a single weak human spirit or a horde of demons and poltergeists and whatever-- (I have dealt with both) a spirit is just a spirit. It has no real foothold or power in the physical world-- while you do. You have a physical presence, and the physical world belongs to you and yours alone. Their influence is extremely limited, and not only that but they pretty much need your energy to manifest at all. If you don't give it to them, they can't. Just ignore it, it can't harm you. The stuff you are describing is one hell of an Olympic effort for the "ghost." Stop paying attention and he will likely stop trying. Explain this to skids as well. I have done the whole sage thing and found it to be mostly ineffective, it really only quieted the activity for a a few days, didn't remove it. What worked best was ignoring them, they just stopped after a while. While things you cannot see or touch do exist, and yes I believe what you are experiencing may very well be real with no other explanation, they're really nothing but shadows and dust. Nothing to be afraid of, and nothing to get worked up over. You don't need to pay anyone to cleanse your house or exorcise your family and you don't need to move. View it as a curiosity or a point of entertainment, that's all it really is.
