My bubs Great Grandfather!

Here's a little bit of background first

My house is owned by Dp's parents, we rent it off them.
It's was the In laws parents house, (FIL's parents Peggy and Sydney)
All the houses in our street are war veterans homes, that the army built 60 yrs ago, Peggy and Sydney came in, chose number twenty and lived here for the rest of their lives.
FIL actually was born and grew up in this house! Now my little boy will be.

Ever since we moved in last November I've been seeing a face pop out and back around the french doors connecting the loungeroom and dining room. Just out of the corner of my eye. I never got any kind of bad vibe from the house and the action seemed playful so i didn't worry too much about it. I've been seeing him all the time since, and Dp has seen him a couple of times too.

Well last night we were at the Inlaws for dinner and i said to FIL, "Kevin, i think i've seen your dad around the house" And told him about the face, DP backed me up about seeing it too.

Kevin told us about what his dad looked like and described our Face to a tee!!! A little shorter than DP, long thin face, and dark hair and features.
And he also said that although he doesn't believe in that sorta stuff he wouldn't be surprised as Sydney died in our bedroom.

You can't know how great that makes me feel, the man I'm naming my son after (middle name) might still be with us here. I dunno, the thought kind of makes me feel so much safer, and like bub will have someone who loves him watching over him like that.

The only other thing thats happened in this house that we couldn't explain was one night just after DP go home all the smoke detectors in the house started going off, simultaneously, for about and minute and a half and then stopped altogether at the same time. (That freaked us out a little bit)

I honestly love this house, i feel so safe here. And now when i see the face i just cheerfully smile "hey sydney!"

What a great experience!

How magical to know such an important part of the family is watching over your LO!

Thats wonderful. My Grandad comes to our house and I feel like he is watching over us! Sometimes he frightens me if I just wake up but most of the time I feel calm. Its lovely knowing they are still there!

How nice to have him there with you!

Yeah, i really love it, i haven't seen him so much lately, but i always smile and say hello when i think i see something in the house.

Although the other night when i came home and was walking through the house (alone) turning on lights as i went, i walked through the dining room to the kitchen (dark dining room to dark kitchen) and as i lifted my arm to switch the light switch in the kitchen i could have freakin sworn something ran past me, really close and really fast. Just this dark shape, little bit shorter than me out of the corner of my eye.

I FREAKED out!! Spun around as fast as i could and stood with my back pressed to the wall cursing the flueros for taking so long to turn on and flicker so much. That is the first scary thing that has happened in this house in the 6-7 months we've lived here.

Don't know what it was, but it scared the cr*p out of me, like i was was pushing myself up against the wall shaking and breathing really hard and fast.
