00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,919
My name is Jeff and I live
in Cole Harbor, Nova Scotia, Canada

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,560
with my wife and three kids.
Back in twenty and thirteen, we had

3
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:19,839
some unexplained things happened in our home. My oldest daughter was sixteen months old

4
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,000
at the time. She had been
waking up around the same time every night,

5
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:27,359
and when my wife and I would
check on her, she would be

6
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,719
shaking in fear in her crib.
We asked her why she was waking up,

7
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:36,960
and she told us that nanny kept
waking her up. Well, we

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,880
thought that was weird. My mother
likes to be called nanny, but she

9
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:45,560
lives in an hour's drive away.
We kind of just brushed it off as

10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,359
her imagination. One night, when
she woke up, my wife took her

11
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:53,600
out to the living room to try
to calm her and get her back to

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,280
sleep. She didn't turn the light
on when she went into the room because

13
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,479
it would hinder the goal of getting
our brought her back to sleep. Our

14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,879
daughter sat up and asked why there
was a baby ghost playing with her dollhouse

15
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,560
across the room. This freaked my
wife out, so she turned on the

16
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,000
light and my daughter asked, where
did the baby ghosts go. My wife

17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,840
never saw a thing. She came
into our bedroom and woke me, and

18
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:26,000
I went out and investigated, but
I didn't find anything. The next night,

19
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:29,959
when she woke, I got up
with her and took her out to

20
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,079
the living room and I tried to
get her back to sleep. She sat

21
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,000
up again and told me that there
was a baby ghost playing with her dollhouse.

22
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,000
Again. I asked her what the
baby ghosts looked like. She said

23
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:48,200
she looked gross and had booboos on
her face. I couldn't see this thing.

24
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,920
It was very disturbing to me.
She was too young to be making

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,159
this up. What the hell was
going on in our house. Two days

26
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:02,000
later, my wife and I got
our little monkey to sleep and we decided

27
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:07,480
to watch a movie. We got
some snacks and we went downstairs to get

28
00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:10,879
comfortable. We were watching the movie
for a bit when we heard music coming

29
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,120
from the baby monitor. We looked
at each other and then bolted upstairs to

30
00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:21,280
the baby's room, and when we
got there, the music was still playing.

31
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,080
It was coming from a rocking horse
decoration that plays music when you turned

32
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,199
the knob on the bottom. We
had never turned that knob before. Our

33
00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:36,759
girl was sleeping in her crib,
and this decoration was across the room.

34
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,759
We were getting uneasy with things,
to say the least. At the time,

35
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,319
my wife was working as a supervisor
for a cleaning company. She would

36
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,599
work until anywhere between twelve and two
am while I was home with the little

37
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,879
one. One night, when she
arrived home at two am, she saw

38
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,360
a toy teapot of my daughter on
the living room floor, sitting on its

39
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:07,719
side and spinning in a circle.
Other toys would randomly go off through the

40
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:14,240
night as well. The nightly sleep
interruptions continued, and our daughter told us

41
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,159
that there were three people visiting her. There was Nanny, the baby,

42
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:23,919
ghost with booboos, and the man
from the car. I showed her some

43
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,199
photos of various family members who had
passed away and that she had never got

44
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:32,400
to meet. She pointed to a
photo of my aunt and said, that's

45
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:38,840
nanny. The photo was my mother's
sister. She and my mom didn't look

46
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,319
alike at all, and I was
pretty close to her. She didn't have

47
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,840
any kids, so I think she
always thought of my sister as her own.

48
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,080
It would make sense that she would
be checking in on us after death

49
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:57,400
if she could. The lack of
sleep was wearing on us, as it

50
00:03:57,479 --> 00:04:00,520
does for any parent of a young
child, but this was different. Our

51
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:05,439
child was scared to death when she
would wait trembling most nights. I had

52
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:09,879
to do something, But how do
I protect my child from something that I

53
00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:15,879
can't see? It was a pretty
helpless feeling. I ended up looking up

54
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:20,319
a medium online and I reached out
to him via email. He replied shortly

55
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,199
after and asked for my phone number, and he said that he would call

56
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,480
me that evening, and as promised, he called and asked a few questions

57
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,319
about the dollhouse in our house.
The dollhouse was given to us by my

58
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:39,160
cousin. It was purchased from a
department store by her, so we didn't

59
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:44,759
think it had anything to do with
that. Our house was a bank foreclosure,

60
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:48,560
so we didn't have any info on
that either. He suggested that we

61
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,959
do a smudging, which is a
Native spiritual cleansing technique. He instructed me

62
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,959
to say a prayer while smudging and
to tell whatever spirit that may be in

63
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,160
the house that they have passed and
to go to the light. After I

64
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:11,720
did this, everything stopped. My
daughter's sleep pattern went back to normal with

65
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,279
no more disruptions. We never did
find out who the baby ghost was or

66
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:20,879
the man from the car, but
I'm glad they've moved on. I have

67
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:27,759
two other children now and they never
mentioned these spirits. My oldest daughter has

68
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:32,079
not mentioned them since then. She
is now a beautiful eight year old little girl.
