Dead baby’s ghost: ‘Please bury me, Mommy’ - Hard Lesson for Casey Anthony

EDITOR’S NOTE: Casey Anthony’s defiant refusal to cooperate with authorities has prevented closure in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, whose remains have yet to be buried.  The following report illustrates how damaging such delays can be …

THE teary-eyed ghost of a baby that restlessly roamed an apartment building for 92 heartbreaking years “finally crossed  over to the other side” when the remains of his unburied body were discovered in the attic and laid to rest, a paranormal expert reports.

“His was a troubled spirit, but with the blessing of the clergy and a proper burial, the child is free at last,” Haller Voisart, the Swiss parapsychologist who found the tot’s skeleton in the attic of the old structure, told me exclusively.

“The tragedy is that it took over 90 years for us to find his remains and bury them so he could find his peace.

“His frequent appearances in the hallways of the building and the apartments themselves were cries for help - cries that tenants heard but through ignorance and fear couldn’t do anything about.”

Alaine Greder, 57, was one of many apartment dwellers who claimed to have seen the tiny apparition since it was first spotted in the spring of 1917, in Basel, Switzerland.

Like other tenants who told friends and reporters what they had witnessed, she was frightened at first.

“But after the initial shock, my heart went out to him,” she said.

“He was a slight little thing, no older than 2 or 3. And you could tell that he was sad and in great pain.

“He was never visible for more than a few seconds. But he was always whimpering. The only words I ever heard him utter were, ‘Bury me, Mommy, bury me.”

Claude Stuber, who bought the old apartment building from an elderly spinster in 1968, told reporters that the toddling ghost - clad in neatly pinned cloth diapers, high-top leather shoes and a blue summer shirt-always seems to gravitate toward windows on the north side of the building.

“He would gaze through the windows at the cemetery across the street,” said Stuber. “Now we know why.”

Although the spirit reportedly appeared hundreds of times over the years, Voisart only learned about him in January.

“I was visiting friends in Basel and they told me about the ghost, which was something of a legend in the area,” Voisart said.

“I went to the apartment to talk wit the owner and tenants and immediately realized that he was bound to an earthly plane by some terrible injustice.

 ”It was clear to me that he longed to be buried. After a search of two days we found his remains in a crib in the attic. They were wrapped in yellowed newspapers dated Jan. 3, 1917.” 

Voisart alerted local authorities, who were unable to identify the remains or determine the cause of death. Judging from the size of the child’s bones, a doctor estimated that he was between 2 and 3 years old when he died.

 ”It’s been several weeks since we buried him and he hasn’t appeared since,” said Voisart. “It was 92 years coming. But he has finally risen to a higher plane, I’m convinced.”
