What era?

My house has had different ghosts coming and going for as long as I can remember and, while I can't see them, I can sense and hear them and sometimes see them(though rarely). About 5 months ago a new ghost showed up that I'm actually relatively fond of. He has a wide array of emotions but is mainly curious about what the living are doing and all our little gadgets(he is also afraid of the vacuum cleaner).

He feels young, around 15-18, but the fact that some technologies scare him make me wonder how old his spirit actually is. He is wearing a loose blousey white shirt and pants that stop around the knees that are blue and brown. Any ideas?

perhaps 19th century...the vacuum may have already been around but his economic circumstances didn't allow him to be acquainted with it.

I agree with stargrazer, but I am thinking more like 1930s, possibly 1940s. Do you when your house was built?

(Sorry for taking so long to reply, college has kept me busy)

My house was built in the 1960s-70s. I would say it's the land because there's an old graveyard from the 1800s in the woods on the property close to my house and ghosts from it used to frequent my house because the man who built it removed their headstones but left their bodies. However, the boy is Caucasian and the graveyard was owned by a predominantly African American church back when it was still in use.

Also thanks for the guesses! 19th century clothes in Google search do kind of match his look. Not to a T but he probably was poor as I have seen him since making this forum and he looks very messy/dirty.

I'm seeing a young girl aged around 6. 18th century with blonde ringlets tied in pigtails. She wears a loose white blouse and white loose cotton knee length pants. She is sitting, quiet, alone.

How would you describe his hairstyle and shoes? Also you mention the shirt, but can you remember the sleeves, collar and material of the shirt?

@Maynah
I do not understand the significance of this information but I thank you anyway for your insight. Would you be able to explain a bit more please?
@Howla Dark
He has blond hair that is cut short near is neck, but longer bangs at the top of his head. He has no shoes. His sleeves are long but rolled up to his elbows, the collar is tied together at the chest by a few crisscrossed strings, and the shirt looks cotton but I honestly can't tell.
