TLDR - my kid sits in random places in my house in the middle of the night staring at nothing and not making a sound.


According to my wife she has been creeping around in the middle of the night and posting up random places and just sitting there doing nothing for who knows how long.

2 nights ago I get up to hit the head around 0100 and hear a noise and thought it was something I bumped in to falling against a wall. I hear another weird noise and go to leave my bedroom and when I walk in to this little vestibule off my room, my youngest kid is sitting on the floor in the corner, holding her pillow just staring at me not making a noise. WTF.

I put her back to bed and go back to sleep. About an hour later I hear a door moving then pitter patter of feet and I'm like WTF. I walk in to my living room and my kid is sitting on the couch staring at the little vestibule that goes in to the master. Not making a noise, just staring.

I dont remember the last time something scared me as much as seeing some random small child eyes staring at me from the dark did the other night. Damn haunted baby.

Here's the little vestibule and she was sitting in the left corner staring at the door.

The bigger question is what is haunting your house that is waking up your daughter?

Probably Robert the Doll since I googled images of it.

You know what you have to do.
Burn the house down!
Burn it all!!

Maybe it's her way of telling you to ditch the boat painting.

Well she better put her big girl haunting boots in because she will be in for a fight

Get some Sage just in case.

meh, the Zuko Dog does that all the time, but I will also add that my house was built in the 1950's and still has hints of cigarette smoke in a couple areas (even after a down-to-the-studs remodel) so I'm sure someone has died in here.

Has she gone in the kitchen?

How old is the kid?

I've seen this almost exact same situation before down to the vestibule and painting of a ship in the vestibule. Wtf? It happened to a colleague of mine. Turns out, this all meant he was gay. Sorry to be the one to let you know this.

My wife's going to be devastated.

You all are Catholic aren't you..

Welcome to the haunted house club. You'll get used to it

I am not a child psychologist but I have raised two children semi successfully; so based off of my limited knowledge base I can interpret her actions. Sounds to me like she got scared and wants to crawl into bed with you and your wife; which is why she brought her own pillow; but is hesitant to do that, so she just gets close, hence the vestibule, and after you shut that down, the couch; where she can stare longingly at the vestibule. Too scared to go back to bed; but more scared to venture in. I think it is safe to go ahead and just make the assumption she walked in one recent night while you were banging the living **** out of her Mommy and now, bless her heart, she can not unsee those frightening images.

The paranormal is certainly a possibility, but my bet is with sleepwalking or absence seizures.

Absence Seizure or Infestation? You be the judge.

If they're smart they won't consider seeking medical solution but instead rely on Middle Ages magic and latin words to get the trick done.

Toss the Ouija Board and the Tarot cards and the kid will probably be just fine.

I said magic, not black magic. That would just be irresponsible.

I choked a little thinking this was gonna be a serious answer.

"Oh look at me I have a vestibule".

At the very least the trim and quarter round need to get some caulk.

I knew someone was going to say that. I'm great at finishing 99% of projects. Damn floors.

The picture was so distracting I didn't even notice the huge baseboard gap on the left until you said something.

it's okay, I haven't given any of my trim any caulk lately, either.

I'll fix it like a week before our tenants move in. No point in making things nice for myself.

Seriously, have you asked her if she remembers doing this? If not, likely sleep walking

This sounds overtly sexual.

Can't wait for your tenants (nice insertion of the humble brag) to move in, find this thread, and demand rent abatement since you, the Owner, think it's haunted.

No no, its my child who is haunted.

My son was about 2 laying in our bed with us and shook his finger at the ceiling and said, "I don't like you ghosts, go away you ghosts." That was after my 5 year old at the time had come in and complained about a man in black standing at the end of his bed. Freaked me out.

How old is the kid?
