I agree with S'rose.

If stuff starts happening then panic but otherwise it could be a fabrication. Have you looked into the history of the house at all? somethimes that can help if you know who the child is and what happened.

He could just be lost, or visiting or a protector.

We have had "visitors" here particularly one who makes her presence known to me and my GF who is particularly sensitive.

To be honest it use to freak me out before I found out who it was and why she was here. Now she doesn't visit so much but I always welcome her home when I feel she is here.

There are various stones (crystals) and cleansing methods but I am not sure what and how these work. Others may have some suggestions.

Just try to relax and go with the flow or do your research talk to your neighbours and historical societies if the house is old.

SOmetimes having a visitor can be comforting. Maybe get a cat they are generally good at letting you know if something is there
