Creepy house

what darkest light said is the best idea

The room sounds like a relatively happy place, which may be why it draws the spirit(s). It could remind them of the life they once lived, and you may be freaked out because you know its there but can't quite see it, at least in a subconscious reasoning.

Does it seem sinister to you?

Well, I don't know if it is sinister. I have had quite a few nightmares about the room, where something is pulling me into the dark room and I can't break free.

Maybe its a restless spirit, maybe it is a bad spirit attached to something in the room. What do you think?

It may be someone who lived in the house before your family moved in. Something bad could have happened in that room that the spirit is attracted to, or it may be angry at what has been done with the room because it used to be a different way.

I'd try to talk to it :3 But talking about the paranormal and experiencing it are 2 different things

I'll try that. My grandparents had the house build, so they were the only ones living in the house.

Is this house new, or did she move in it? Sometimes old spirits stay, wandering ones, and spirits that you bring from outside, or struggles, etc.

He just said his grandparents built it. :3

Maybe a spirit who died on the land, or someone attached to your family? I'd love to know how the communication goes :)

HAHA my bad. Well, remember not all spirits are bad though they give you the creeps.

Or maybe its just you.
You stated that her walls were covered in family portraits.
You could be paranoid that somebody could be watching you because of all those eyes.
Also as it has antique furniture its gives of a old creepy look does it not?
Or although it could be paranormal activity.

For the record spirits do not roam in new houses only in used ones which had a crust of residual energy. If its can evil spirit i advise to have some mirrors around as spirits will run if they see their own reflection. yes the have a reflection.
