How can I protect my children from spirits?
I have a 2 year old little girl (she doesn't speak or talk yet) and a 4 month old little boy. My husband and I moved into our house over three years ago. During the first year we just had this 'feeling' that something was in our house. I really started having this feeling when I would be in the shower. It just felt like someone was in there with me. I would just get into the shower, water hasn't touched my back yet, but I felt something running down my back such as a stream of water or a light touch. I would turn around and no one was there and my back would be dry. This happens several times. Even our dog started acting strange. She will be in a dead sleep and jump up and bolt out of the room like something just pinched her, but nothing is around her. She was fine at our previous home. When we had our first child she was a great baby the first 3 months and then something changed. She was a totally different baby. For the past 2 years of her life I would joke and call her 'my little devil' because she was so difficult, moody, and seemed angry all the time. My pediatrician can attest to this. We had her screened for autism because she was so 'different.' The tests came back saying she was fine, but my husband and I knew something was wrong. Well within the last 3-4 months my daughter has been scared to go in her room. Every time we would go to put her down for her nap or bed time, she would scream and fight and you could look in her eyes and see fear. Since she doesn't talk, we didn't know what was wrong. She would scream and scream and keep us up until 3 am, by that time she couldn't fight sleep anymore. But she would be up again at 6am. She wouldn't even go into her room to play. My husband and I are not religious, but he got into a discussion with a coworker and they suggested that we put a cross in her room. My husband called and asked my thoughts about hanging a cross in her room and I said it was definitely worth a shot. So I went and a hung a cross in her room above her bed and then it felt like her room wasn't congested, it seemed clearer if that makes sense. Since then she has no problem going in her room. She jumps right into her bed for nap time and bed time. And she sleeps through the entire night.
Is my house haunted? If so, why is the spirit going after my daughter and will my son be next? How do I protect them?
I am sorry for the long post; I am just out of my realm.
Thanks!
