One of my favourite methods of cleansing an area is to ring a bell. Our house has a lot of them, including a huge one from an old, defunct chapel. Every few weeks Mr Penry uses it to cleanse the mountainside....![]()

Why the belief in it being a ghost right off that bat? It could have been a guardian spirit or even a type of fey. I've been doing paranormal investigations and generally if you do not feel threatened, it most likely isn't something to worry about. However, as others have suggested protection works can be done but I suggest you make sure to say that guardian spirits are still welcomed.
If you do not feel threatened by it, then I wouldn't banish it, another thing it might be is someone wanting to protect her....maybe an ancestor or close relative passed, just a thought. I had my grandpa come and visit me alot while I was young, he died before I was old enough to know him ( I was 6 weeks old), I also used to have a girl come to see me and it later turned out to be my mum's sister who died at a few months old.

I agree with lily and others who have said the same thing. My grandma used to always talk about how at night an orb would come visit her (And act in the same way the one that visited your child did.) and my grandma was positive it was her deceased husband watching over her, it made her feel comfortable. In that house I still swear I feel my grandpa watching me (In a comfortable way.)

In Days of yore,
From Britain's shore
Wolfe the dauntless hero came
And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada's fair domain.
Here may it wave,
Our boast, our pride
And joined in love together,
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwined,
The Maple Leaf Forever.
A lot of good advice in this thread
My thoughts:
1-Its a normal mundane natural phenomena (but you've said there is a history of encounters)
2- Its an external entity, possibly a familial/ancestor spirit or a Cofgod (household spirit/Brownie/Hob/Kobold).
3- It could be a manifestation of your daughters Fetch or indeed her Hamingja.
Either way I would not worry to much, even a malevolent spirit would be foolish to attack an infant such an action would incur the wrath of even the most sedate Cofgod and ancestor spirits. And even an infants Fetch is a potent adversary.
As others have said, if you are not feeling any negativity from this entity, I wouldn't consider banishing it. I would advise looking after how your daughter responds to it, if she does at all. If it makes her uncomfortable, there is something to be said about that. But if she doesn't mind, and you don't see an issue with it, there's no reason not to coexist.
I agree, BUT like someone said in another post, you will be amazed at how respectful a spirit will be if you just tell them some ground rules. You just say that you do not want to banish them from your house, BUT there are rules you need to follow and if you break the rules then you will leave me with no other option, it does work as I have first hand experience with that.
