    I was always very skeptical about ghosts etc but not anymore. There has been strange things happening in a friends house that is being rented. There is supposedly a baby buired in the garden from years ago. But anyway the friend has always heard strange noise and the other night he found a teddy after being hanged around the shower cord. None of them did it - they swore on family members lives etc. They took the teddy down and the next day it was back sitting in the shower base. He didnt stay there that night! Someone get a priest in - I duno. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this happening before?

    +1. Sounds like someone heard about the supposed grave in the garden and is having a laugh trying to freak other people out. Just because someone says they didn't tie a teddy to the shower cord doesn't mean that they didn't do it.

    Well I know if someone says they didnt do it doesnt mean they didnt do it! But to repeatedly swear on family members lives and their own children that they didnt do it make me belive them. And to tell other people ablut the story in the bar is taking things a bit too far if they are 'only having a laugh'.

    I think it's pretty irritating how the world is so superstitious as to think that whether or not someone 'swears on a life' actually makes a difference to that life...

    This is bull****. Seriously - do you REALLY believe that the spirit of a dead baby took a physical object and moved it in to the bathroom and proceeded to tie it to the shower cord?

    I'm open minded but you need to get a grip OP.

    Oh, we're sorry OP,

    Yeah that's really spooky, the only reasonable explanation is that the legend of the buried baby is true, and that baby's ghost is haunting the house you are in and that the ghost had a few quid to spare and was bored so went down to the shops to buy a teddy bear and hung it off the shower lead, which I'm sure is how the baby died, (you know how clumsy babies are when having showers) to scare you for no decipherable reason whatsoever.

    Logically speaking.

    Is that better OP?

    As spooky as this sounds, i think i'd be much more scared if a living baby was able to do all the things you mentioned in your post.

    Which do you think is more likely:

    1. All known natural laws are violated for the purpose of tying a teddy bear to something, instead of communicating, appearing, or anything that would be difficult to fake.
    2. Someone told a porky.

    Seriously, come on. If you really find it harder to believe that someone would lie to you than that poltergeists exist but appear only when there are no witnesses, you need to spend more time considering the probabilities.

    I'd swear on my families life, because I don't believe in magic mumbo jumbo, I know they will be fine.

    I swear on my Fathers eternal soul that I have the only working prototype real optimus prime robot.

    the renters of the house are obviously not students as students don't go near showers.

    ah now - just because its a paranormal forum, doesnt mean you have to leave common sense at the door.

    Lets get this straight - someone finds a teddy bear hanging in the shower, everyone swears they didnt do it and therefore that means the place is haunted? Really, say that out loud a few times and think about it again.

    Because they are of course correct :eek: Not really. Sorry for people getting so, well not coming across as too friendly or helpfull some just get to wound up about this stuff..

    Im sure what they ment to say is why dont your friends try and get some proof perhaps. Even for their own sakes to stop the uhh I wonder if one of us is not telling the truth and setting this whole thing up. Get one of them who is trustworthy and rig up a camera to see if it spots anything...I would not be too worried if nothing shows up, probably is someone just playing a nasty prank. With the whole babys body being buried there are a lot of places like this...

    Agreed. Let all of you arrange to put a camcorder in one of the house's rooms for, say, three consecutive nights, along with an audio recorder (e.g. a dictaphone) and draw your conclusions from what does or does not show up on both devices.

    A poster above mentioned the redundancy of this whole "I swear on my father's/mother's/family's souls/lives", etc, statement nowadays. That "I swear on..." thing means nothing. They're only empty words, and it's futile to swear on other people's lives or souls to 'corroborate' a story anyway because swearing on something or someone doesn't have any impact on anything. It's b.s.

    I'm surprised that you have been 'converted' from being a non-believer to a believer simply as a result of a second-hand story, and not as a result of personal first-hand experience. I'm not being smart, and I'm not disparaging you either, but it just surprises me. I fall into the 'believers' camp, but that was only after seeing some things (a spirit of a relative and another 'thing' I can't quite categorise) and after having a strange experience that I couldn't explain when I was 16. That's where I'm coming from, and most other 'believers' I know have come via a similar 'route'.

    Is this a baby connected to the current family occupying the house, or supposedly a baby having been connected to previous occupants of the house?

    How can there "supposedly" be a baby buried in the garden?! Surely someone would have reported that to the guards by now instead of sitting round talking about it...
