diane,
you might want to check old newspapers also if you can narrow down a year
or centry of when a little boy might have died in the house.
it is said that when a spirit lives on ,it is because the soul is not at
rest for some reason .there are experts that can answer this for you
better than i .there is a famous house in philly some where that is a
museum still. it is said to have ghosts in it at certain times of day
and some of the visitors can feel their presence,
i swear i can't remember the name of the house or previous owners.
hope this gives you an idea on solving your mystery,maybe some one on the
list will help further.
