Mom notices scratches on her child’s face, later sees a figure appear on their baby monitor

Josh Higgins and Heather Brough, a young couple from Highland Township, Michigan, experienced a strange encounter which forced them to make the decision to move places.

They have been living at Josh’s mother’s guesthouse, while his mom and dad reside in the main house nearby.

One morning, when Heather went to check on her 15-month-old baby daughter, she noticed Lili’s face was all covered in scratches. The sweet girl was in pain as the scratches were deep. This made Heather’s heart broke into a million pieces. What’s most, she was totally unaware of how that could happen. At first, they thought Lily scratched herself in her sleep, but they put the girl’s hands up to the scratches and it didn’t match up.

The mom then thought of checking out the monitor footage from Lily’s bedroom and learn what was going on during the night.

Little did they know that the footage would leave them in chills.

“It was chilling. It was literally a chill down your spine. Like that ‘what if’ factor — Is this what I just saw?”

The footage showed a strange figure approaching Lily’s crib. As it came closer, the baby could be seen looking straight at the ceiling.

“I freaked out. I stopped what I was doing, and I ran upstairs, and I grabbed my daughter.”

This wasn’t the first time for strange occurrences to be taking place in the house. Heather claimed she would often hear strange noises, and one time, she felt like someone put his arm around her neck as if some spirit tired to strangle her.

The Michigan couple was convinced a “ghost” was trying to scare them and hurt their daughter. They had decided to move out of the house for Lilly’s safety.

Josh’s father believes that if there is a ghost in the house, it probably belongs to the previous owner who suffered an unfortunate death some 14 years ago, shortly before the Higgins bought the place.

The family believes that the main house, where Josh’s parents live, is also haunted. They also hear strange noises every now and then and say that the spirit that causes that must belong to the woman who lived there before and died by falling down the stairs. The two ghosts were once a brother and a sister.

Paranormal investigator, Mike Priest, inspected both places and agrees that there is something going on.

“We heard something say, ‘Oh here we go. Oh yeah.’ I heard it as plain as day,” he claimed.

As of the figure in the video, he says it could simply be something as insignificant as a moving reflection.
