As soon as I was sure something was up and before I took the financial loss by selling the house, I'd do some logical investigation. Someone knows something. They know what happened in that house.

If you saw the ghost, you'd know the time period, especially since it's a female ghost. One look should give you the time, more or less. Beehive hair or flapper bob? Dress length lets you rule out a lot of times. It's not hard, like looking at an old photograph and saying "Ah, that must be from right before World War I.

Most people are reluctant to admit that they have seen a ghost. If you can find it, watch The Uninvited(1944). Not that awful 2009 version though.

I wouldn't keep my kid around a ghost that threatens them. I'd send my wife and kid away ASAP! No doubt. I might be stupid enough to try to learn more and "fight" it. I can deal with keys and other bright, shiny objects just moving all over the house or disappearing for a few days. The ghost is like a pack rat. Takes, but leaves stuff. I was even tempted to write a story called "The Packrat Ghost" but it wouldn't be that creepy.
