Hey, so I'm not sure why I'm posting but I guess I just need to get it off my chest somewhere that people don't know me so I don't seem like a crazy person. I've lived in my home for 15 years and soon after moving in, we realised we had a house ghost and we named her Sandra. We don't mind her being here; she's pretty benign and just makes her presence known by moving items, turning on our Alexa, messing with the TV and you can occasionally get a glimpse of her in your periphery. I've only seen her full bodied 3 times in the 15 years of being here.

Since having my youngest son, who is 5 now, I noticed Sandra started making her presence known more often, especially around guests to the house. I initially thought nothing of it, other than "other people are seeing things happen and not just me". It's been pretty steady activity over the course of the 5 years, until maybe 3 months ago. That was when I started hearing people talking in the house when I knew I was alone, but they were voices of people I knew. I'd hear my mum shouting my name, my aunty saying a random sentence, friends voices and so on. I stood at the central point of the house and called out to Sandra and told her, I'm okay with her talking and using these peoples voices but I won't tolerate her if she starts to use my kids voices as then I'll see if as a lure (if I hear my boys call for me, I have to go to them) and I left it at that.

A few nights ago, my partner got woken up at 3am by my 5 year old son crying and he went to comfort him but on entering the room, he was still asleep and no signs that he'd been stirring or upset so he came back to bed and went to sleep, I was unaware of this until he came home from work the next day. The same night he had gotten up to check on him, I was woken up at 4:30 by my son telling me "the lady is watching me and it's scaring me" so I put him into bed with us to sleep for the rest of the night.

Last night, my mum came over to my house to talk to me and during our conversation, a chopping board that has been sat in the same place for a week fell forward onto the bench and then we heard my 12 year old say "oh sorry". My 12 year old was in his room (we live in a 3 storey house and his bedroom is on the 3rd floor, we were in the kitchen on the bottom floor of the house)

Fast forward to today, my 5 year old is off school feeling unwell and while laying in my bed watching YouTube, the TV kept changing video and the volume was being turned up and down which, obviously, was upsetting my son.

I can't help but feel like recently, the activity is ramping up and it's becoming concerning!

If anyone has any ideas on what could be happening, or solutions on how I could help the situation, I'd love to hear!

Thanks for reading!!
