Before my grandparents moved into our house they were told by the current owners that it was haunted by a young boy who died awhile back. He had some kind of illness and went to take nap and never woke up. It seems that the events didn’t occur until I was born in 1995 (by the way my family moved there when my mom was a year old).
The first event that I was told happened… my aunt used to take care of me while my mom was at work, and for some insane reason in the living room the light bulb was one of the Halloween ones that shoot out red instead of white. So my aunt left me in the living room watching barney while she took a shower. She closed and locked the door and when she came out the bathroom door was wide open.
The next experience also happened to my aunt, she was home alone on a rainy night she was looking out her window (from her window you can see all the way down the street) and saw a lady dressed all in black carrying what looked like a baby. She walked up to our door a rang the doorbell. I believe she waited for awhile until she left. My aunt watched as the lady walked and disappeared down the street.
The next experience happened to me… I was about 3 I believe, my other aunt had come to visit and in our living room we had a big green curtain over the sliding door. My aunt came into the living cause she saw me standing under the curtain looking out the sliding door and she said “Reina, hi sweetheart” and my mom heard her and brought me down with her! My aunt nearly had a heart attack when they asked what was wrong she said that Reina was standing right at the sliding door when in reality I was upstairs with my mom. The ghost was trying to be me I don’t know why but he was.
Once while I was watching TV I had went outside to tell my grandma about what I was watching and when I looked inside I saw a shadow pass along the wall. See I believe this is the ghost of the little boy, but am not sure if he is the only one in my grandparents house. I am now 15, and me, my grandpa, and uncle are the only ones who have seen him he usually walks from my uncles room (which is were he died) to the kitchen and back.We have not seen the boy in about a year, and to tell you the truth even though I feared him I do miss him and for some reason I call him Charlie, My Friend Charlie (R.I.P). Thank you so much for reading I have a few more stories but those will have to wait till next time.

As it so happens, I have experienced similar events at my Grandparents’ house. Though your ghost sounds like a much nicer one. Have you had dreams about this boy? If you have, he may want to befriend you(unless they are dreams in which the ghost is excessively violent, then it wants you either out or dead).
A resident ghost. This is a pretty standard phenomenon where a person dies in a certain place and their spirits wander about the area. It is possible that this ‘Charlie’ have used up his residual energy and he is now in hiatus until he regains enough energy to manifest himself once again. It’s also possible that he passed on. About your Aunt’s recount of seeing a child that looked like you, I don’t think that it’s Charlie, though some believe ghosts have the ability to copy other people’s appearance, many paranormal investigators believe that the ones who often do the doppelganger trick is an elemental spirit. It’s possible that the land where the house was built is sacred land of some sort.
I suggest you treat this entity with caution, it may not be what it appears to be.
