We had a cute little house is Germany that me and my husband shared. It was quiet and peaceful as we went along our life. The moment I brought my daughter home, that all changed.

The first day my baby was brought home was a day of excitement. I almost didn't want to put her down.

As I laid her in the crib that night, everything felt normal. I laid with my husband and slept.

Then, the next morning, things slowly started to change. I would hold my daughter and feel as though someone was watching although my husband wasn't home. I would walk through cold spots and hear small little noises.

As my daughter got older, things happened more often. One night, when she was around 6 months, there was a loud sound in the bathroom. We went to check it out to find every body wash and shampoo we owned was across the shower. We went to check on our baby. Her room was absolutely freezing but she laid smiling in just her diaper.

That was only the start. Pots and pans would bang together when my husband wasn't home and doors would close right after I passed by and opened them.

Sometimes, we would watch tv and have the baby in her bouncer. She would look past us and smile. She would also move her head as if someone walked towards her. Then, she would excitedly start babbling to a spot around her.

I decided to name this presence Oscar.

Well, Oscar was constantly doing things of this nature. I began to believe he was my daughter's guardian angel.

This happened even when we moved back to America and even when her little sister was born. Now she's almost sixteen and lives with her father.

But sometimes, when she visits for the weekend, I hear the footsteps as Oscar roams the hall looking for his girl.
