My son is almost 6 and the past year he’s been going downhill quickly.

a year ago we moved into our new home after i had my daughter, our last home was too small for our now family of 4. the new home isn’t too old, it was built in the 1950s.

my son is a great sleeper, he has been since he was just a newborn. i was so grateful he slept through the nights. when we moved, this didn’t change until about a month in. he would wake up screaming from nightmares. after 3 times in one week i asked him what was wrong and why he was having bad dreams. he didn’t answer me, but it wasn’t like he couldn’t answer why, it was like he didn’t want to for some reason. this kept happening until one night i was in bed with him, trying to soothe him to sleep. i was sat on the end and was talking to him. as i talked i realized he wasn’t looking at me, but beside me, a little into the corner of his bedroom. i looked and nothing was there but i got this horrible feeling. i took my son into my room and we all slept.

a few weeks later after multiple and multiple sleepless nights, he does the same thing. but this time he was staring directly into his closet behind me, i went to turn my head and he went “mommy don’t look he doesn’t like that”. i immediately grabbed my son and daughter and went to my moms house for the night since my husband was out of town. i didn’t want to be there that night alone. at my moms house, i told her what had been happening and she sat down with my son and asked him a few questions with me even though id tried a thousand times to ask, he finally answered when we weren’t at home. he said there was a man named Belles who lived under his bed and sometimes in his closet. he said at night, belles would come out and smile at him and he had bugs for a tongue and looked like rover. (the half goat from Percy jackson) this horrified me.

when my husband was back, i told him everything. i told him i wanted to leave the house and he said it was just nightmares. i started looking for other options but there weren’t many. this went on longer. it got to a point where my son refused to go in his bedroom alone. i went to the nearby church and got some holy water and sprayed it all over his bedroom, especially his closet. this helped him sleep in there.

a few days after, i was sitting in a chair near my daughters crib where she was and my son was playing on the floor. he got up and walked up to the crib and looked at her. i said something like “isn’t she pretty” and he looked at me and said “belles said he’ll take her”. i got angry at first because why would my son say such a thing? but that quickly turned into fear for my son and daughter. then he started hating going to school because he was scared for his sister. he’d ask me to keep her with me all day or keep her away from her room. i started keeping them both in my bedroom at night after that.

over more time, bugs were all over the house. mostly flies or wasps getting in the house. this hadn’t happened before. it made me think of my son saying belles had bugs for a tongue and it really freaked me out. and then one night i was in the kitchen cooking dinner. i was chopping up garlic and turned around to get more garlic. when i turned back the knife was gone and immediately i turned to my son who was playing next to the island where the knife was and told him knives weren’t safe and he needed to give it back. he swore to me he hadn’t touched it. i leaned back on the stove while talking to him and felt a big pinch in my back. i turned and there was the knife, pointed directly at me, half off the stove. it stabbed me in the back, i was bleeding a little but it wasn’t a bad cut thank god. i was watching my son that whole time, he couldn’t have put the knife there.

more small odd things have happened but these are major events. i don’t know what to do or what this is. i feel like im going crazy and my husband won’t believe me. what do i do? how do i get a priest to bless my home?
