Okay i have never really had a real strong reason to believe or not believe but here's my recent events. Please tell me what you think and whether I should follow up with it and if so where to begin looking...It's kind of long so thanks for reading.
You need help.
It started when we moved in. About 4 years ago. I know our house is at least 50 -60 yrs old. Our little dog used to go crazy at night barking and wouldn't leave the bedroom door like she was gaurding us. We though she was just afraid of the move. We don't have her now, she is at my moms so that was the end of that.
When my son was about 14 months he started waking up screaming at night and just thrashing around. You couldn't even touch him or he screamed louder. We though it was night terrors, end of story.
When he started to communicate with us he kept telling us he was scared but couldn't tell us any more.
At about 16 months he woke up in the middle of the night screaming yet again, we though night terrors again. BUT when he woke up in the morning he had a small burn the size of a pea on his face just to the right of his nose. Nobody knows what happened but it scarred.
Since he was small he always had his door closed and light off at night, but never seemed to mind. He would play and even read. We bought one of those video monitors for his room so we could see him.
There are times we can see him and hear him talking like he carries on a full conversation but to himself (we think) and mark it up to pretend play.
At times we can see lights move across his room but figure they are bugs that are picking up the small LED light on the camera mounted in the top corner of the room.
Okay now the other day. It was about 2pm and I was watching TV. He was in his room with the door shut to take a nap. Out of the corner of my eye I caught something large and black move across the monitor screen. I turned to look and saw nothing but him sitting straight up in the middle of his bed. I assumed since it was out of the corner of my eye that maybe I thought I saw something or it was actually out the window and I just assumed it was from the monitor. About 30 sec later he screamed and started yelling for me and crying. I ran in to find him staring in the empty corner telling me there was a "little guy there". Now, it was light inside his room and there was nothing there he could mistake for something else. No clothes, no toys, nothing. I told him I didn't see anything and it was okay. He repeated several times "little guy". I asked him where and he pointed again to the corner. Nothing. He was getting very mad at me for not seeing the "little guy". When I said "Joey there is nothing there" he said "yes mommy, little monster guy right there go here" and moved his hand from one side of the room to the other. Same direction I thought I saw something. He kept pointing to the same spot saying "right here". I saw nothing and he was getting mad. I turned on all the lights and we left the room. Very eary feeling.
Then again 2 days ago, while at my moms, he was supposed to take a nap and was crying. When I looked in on him he had his face in his hands. I asked what was wrong and he said again "monster". Again it was light in the room. I looked around and said see nothing. He looked at me and said very calmly. "See mommy monster go round and round there" and pointed at the ceiling fan above the bed. It was moving slowly and suddenly stopped completely. He looked at me and said "all gone".
