Ghosts? Please help.

Question

I wasn't sure if this is the right group or not, but I figured it's pretty controversial. 
Do you believe in ghosts? And if so what precautions do you take for them not to harm you?

Back story: I have a 3yo son and our family just moved into a new house. We are renting and know the owner who is very very nice. On Wednesday when we were moving our stuff in my son was VERY UPSET. He wanted me to hold him, yelling and screaming for dear life to go back to our old house. I chalked it up to change since the transition period can be difficult. My husband and I told him that this was our new house and he would love it because it has a big back yard and he has a nice big room etc. 
well on Friday morning our son woke up and immediately said to me "that ghost didn't get us".... Now this didn't really bother me I laughed a bit and thought nothing of it. Surely he must have learned about ghosts at school??? So my husband and I told him that there weren't ghosts in this house and if there were I'm sure they were nice! (We really didn't know what else to say, I don't want to scare him and well him there is no such thing... I do not know that for sure) but here is the strange part, he keeps talking about these said "ghosts" says he say a lady on our road (we are the only people who live down our street, yes we have neighbors but we have our own road) and he told other family members that mommy and him were safe from the ghosts. Guys I'm terrified, like sick to my stomach can't sleep terrified. My husband thinks I'm nuts... The last thing our son said about the ghosts was this... Our bedroom is upstairs and he had some toys up there that he wanted to play with. He walked up the stairs got to the top and turned around, sat down and said "mommy, I can't go up there" I asked him why he said "because those ghosts"

What would you all do? I'm lost. It's been 6 days since we moved in. Before this my son never spoke a WORD about anything like this!!! We are semi religious, we go to church, we believe in God, we talk about God and Jesus... I'm hoping there isn't anything going on in this house but for right now all I can think to do is pray?

Answer

Definitely don't shut him down, I believe he sees something,  but there are more entities than just spirits,  so maybe consider seeking out someone who knows how to deal with this sort of thing

Answer

Children are very open, don't brush it off. You need to burn sage and walk around the house. Get a Priest to bless the house if u deny it, it will only get worse.

Answer

See if you can't have someone come bless your new home. I don't really believe in ghosts but I do believe your son is scared in his new home by something that adults can't see. It never hurts to have it blessed. Also, let him stay at a family members house for a few nights and see if he saw the ghosts at their house too.

Answer

Halloween is right around the corner so he could have picked it up at school.

This gave me goosebumps! My cousin(3) said he sees his grandpa who died in 1990 in their old house in the window whenever they drive by. What 3 year old points out his old house driving by? My uncle showed him a picture for the first time and said whos that? He goes duh dad thats my grandpa. He calls his other grandfather on his mom's side Papa, and no one ever told him to say grandpa. When we went camping w our family he told me grandpa stopped by and smiled and is now in an RV going on a long drive (he loved his RV when he was alive and healthy). I totally believe kids can see ghosts

Answer

My young cousin used to talk to my great grandmother who passed away before she was born and her brother talked to our great grandpa who passed away probably 20 years before he was born.  I've been told I talked to my great great grandmother who passed away shortly after I was born. My son used to talk about the man that lived in our house. He said he wasn't scary, but that he got on his nerves watching him lol. I'm religious, my family even more than I am, and we've always believed that children see more than adults. They haven't learned to block things out or stop believing yet. I wouldn't overly worry unless he starts to say they are bothering him or really starting to scare him. Side note: my husband lived in a house when he was a teenager that had some very bad stuff happen in it before they lived there.  My husband told me all the stuff that happened to them while they stayed there and it is honestly, truly terrifying. His parents saw it as well as my husband, on separate occasions. They went months with things happening before any of them mentioned it to each other and then they found out the same things were happening to them all. They ended up having their pastor and church members come to the house and circle it and pray over it and in each room, and after that they didn't have any more problems. But they moved maybe 6 months after that because they were afraid of it coming back. I think if it were harmful, you'd be aware of it.

Answer

It doesn't seem like whatever is there is causing harm. Those who remain linked to the material world (aka, our world), can get curious about new faces and new objects within their area and like to take a look.

As long as they remain peaceful, I wouldn't worry much about it. They were once people like you and I and just need more time moving on to their final resting place.

But if things turn sour (renovating the home can sometimes do that), then I know you can burn sage in every room and let the smoke go in to every corner of the house. Sage is nutoriots for things like this. I'm not sure if there's nothing you say while doing it though. I suppose if you feel the need to claim the house as your own and kindly ask (assuming the ghosts are still docile) the spirits to leave then you can.

Answer

He may just find the house spooky and likes the attention "ghosts" are giving him. (You can try looking into the history of the house if you think this is real. Then perhaps contact a priest or something) When I have a rough night, I pray. I had lots of nightmares and "ghosts" when I was a child. My dad bought be a "dream catcher" to stop night mares and keep me safe. My mom also gave me crosses. Things like that made me feel safe and I stopped mentioning scary things.

Answer

My husbands grandparents are pastors. Anyway, they always come in and pray for a house before a family member moves in because things can be left behind from previous people. Someone who may have practiced witchcraft, or enjoyed dancing with the devil. We don't want that crap around our house so we always ask to have it prayed for. If you guys go to church im sure your pastor would be more than happy to helo.

Answer

I don't believe in ghosts. I believe there are jinns but we can't see them. Children have a very wide imagination. Try to talk to him about it and what you can do to make them go. You can also create an anti ghost spray (just put water in a spraybottle) and spray it where he says the ghost is.
