The age of a home doesn't really have much to do with whether a spirit can be there or not. They aren't human spirits anyway. Spirits can and do attach to items such as furniture, this is one possible explanation.. but I doubt it. Sometimes spirits simply "drop in" and plan on staying.

This isn't something you can scare off either. If you're Catholic and feel more comfortable speaking to a priest, do so... but make sure he knows what he needs to do, and that is NOT a home blessing. The denomination doesn't matter, it's whether the pastor or priest understands spiritual warfare... that is why I typically will recommend going to a Full Gospel church.

Regardless, you need to speak to someone one on one who can more accurately look into what is going on more so than us out here in internet land.

It's not IF you believe in God...it's HOW you believe in Him. The book of James said that even demons believe in God...and tremble. It's what you do with that belief. If you think just being "Catholic" is enough to scare a spirit away you are fooling yourself. It's not your belief that makes you a Christian, it's your actions and your heart. Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship with God. In that relationship, and ONLY in that relationship are we promised protection and authority over such spirits.

There is a difference between wearing a cross and using one (or a bible) to try and scare off spirits. My point was, Catholic or Protestant, that is now how those things work. This is a great website... and it can be used for others to offer many different viewpoints on a subject. However, ignorant advice is bad advice and when I come across it I will try my best to correct it.

I'm not here to "force" my opinions on anyone... my viewpoint is of the Biblical sort and when I see the information misused or offered incorrectly I will step in. In the end it is up to the poster of the question to decide what choices they wish to make in their situations.

Wearing a cross and using one?
Well I'm a christian and I might not wear a cross but I see know problem in a christian or catholic wearing a cross in fact I think iy would be ridiculous for someone to weae a cross who wasn't religious. Its not about forcing your opinion its about expressing your opinion and RESPECTINGother people's opinion.

*no problem

You said the house was new but what about the land the house was built on. When I was 2-3 I used to talk about a lady in my room. My mum in the end couldn't stand it and sold the house, bt are house was new. My mum looked into the history of where it was built and it was built over a 18th - 17th century graveyard. It might still be worth looking into what was there before. X

Also have you ever asked her what he's wearing, it might give you some idea. My mum said I used to go into a lot of detail about her dress, and that's what linked it to the graveyard. X

Given that you are Catholic, I would recommend that you speak to a priest. While I am personally skeptical of ghosts in this case, I am in the midst of helping a priest friend to edit a dissertation he is writing about exorcism. Every diocese has a priest assigned to dealing with spiritual problems from concerns about bad spirits, evil spirits in a household and other elements of demons and possession and they can help you from the context of your faith. They are also generally pretty good at discerning when something more ordinary is going on and can help in those circumstances as well. Just calling and speaking to your local parish priest could help a lot and would not cost anything either, which is always helpful.
