I Heard Them Running
We used to live in a house that was built in 1956. There were several things that happened. When my middle daughter was in preschool and kindergarten, she would be trying to go to sleep but would be crying that someone touched her hair, touched her feet, and even said her name in her ear.
Finally, when all three of my girls were in school, I’d had enough. I went into her bedroom and said, “Whoever is touching her and saying her name, please stop. I know you only want to get her attention, but you are scaring her”. After that, it never happened again.
Around the same time, we removed the carpet in our living room and hallway and put down a wood floor. My husband worked nights, and I would always hear a child running in the hallway.
I would get up and check my three girls, and they would be fast asleep. It happened so often that I stopped checking on the kids. Once my husband was off, and even he heard it.
He was sleeping, woke up, and said one of the girls was up. I had not even mentioned to him that it had happened before because he is a huge skeptic, and I didn’t want to deal with his attitude about it.
I said no, they weren’t, and he said, “They are! I heard them running in the hallway”. Story credit: Reddit / Mytrixrnot4kids
