Blood, Glass and Footsteps

I live with my two children, Amey aged 8 and Jamie aged 11. We've lived in our house for 7 years now, and there has been many ghostly encounters that we cannot explain. One night when my niece slept at our house, my niece and I was sat in the living room, while my two children were playing outside. We were talking when we were suddenly disrupted by loud footsteps running around upstairs across the bedrooms, when everyone was either outside or sat downstairs.

Three of us heard this running upstairs, which was obviously footsteps as we could hear them moving around, whatever it was that was making the noise was clearly running about.

The following week my mum came down to our house, and we were all sat near the kitchen, in the living room again, when suddenly the candle which was on the coffee table, flew across the room and shattered against the living room door. The candle was at the other side of the room. This really was unexplainable.

My mum then cleaned up the glass and it cut her hand.

I have many decorative fairies which often gets thrown across the room by, who knows?

Sometimes late at night you can hear someone playing marbles across the bedroom floor, while the children are asleep.

Often, if we are using the mirror, there is someone behind us, but when we turn around it has disappeared.

Now this is really unexplainable, one night last week my son slept at his grandma's, and my daughter and I watched a movie. Before we went to bed we checked to see that all doors were locked and everything turned off, including lights and the television, and we went to bed. The next morning my daughter woke me up complaining of being hungry, so I let her go downstairs and get a biscuit.

She went downstairs, and then about five minutes later she returned upstairs with her biscuit, saying "Mummy, mummy! There's a puddle of blood on the floor!"

I replied "Oh, don't be silly, it'll be juice or something..."

She then said, "No, it's not. It's on the living room floor!"

So I followed her downstairs and she pointed to what she saw. It was a puddle of blood from the kitchen door, with a very large bare footprint in the middle, with a trail leading to the rug. I couldn't believe my eyes! I was speechless, I didn't have a clue where it could have come from. The blood was still wet, it must have been fresh.

My little girl also talks to someone, but when I check to see who she's talking to, there's no one there. Could someone please help, as I would really like to know what's happening.

And, has anyone else had experiences like these?

Please reply asap.
