WEBVTT 1 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.
