So Something Really Freaky Is Happening in My House at the Moment and I Don't Know What to Do - Comments

Hooray!

@ Indigo Umbrella

@ Carpe Diem !

Everything seems to have worked, we haven't had in incident in almost a week, but my fingers are still crossed! Thanks again for the help!

I think lavender candles should be fine. Lavender is lavender, I think. The white candles can be scented or unscented. They're mainly just for purification and such. Any light colored candle is good for that, but white works best. I really hope everything works out! I would freak if it was me.

Not a problem! I hope everything works out for you.

I did actually try some salt. I sprinkled some in the corners of my bedroom, the bathroom and my sisters room. Luckily, my mum is okay with it because she feels it too. I wouldn't try to communicate with it, no way in a million years, I've watched too many episodes of Supernatural to even think about that one haha

Thank you very much!

@ HerNameIsAlice
Now I think of it, my mum and me have been feeling really run down lately, and batteries do seem to run out pretty quickly. It's weird that you say that :/

Thank you for the advice :)

@ Writer in the Rye
I don't have a dog, unfortunately. I do have cats though. I always feel better when they're around, but I can't have them in my room at night because of my gerbils and hamsters, they'll be up at the cages. I'll be near a church on Saturday and I might pop in and see if I can talk to someone. I'm just worried that they'll think I'm messing around.

Thank you :)

@ deadroseawaiting
Ugh that's so creepy, I wouldn't be able to sleep ever again. Nothing like that has happened yet and I hope it doesn't.My mum started to study Wicca recently so I'll ask her if there is anything in any of her books, I hadn't thought of using Wicca before. I'm glad you managed to sort it out, I know how scary the situation is. Thank you for sharing your story.

@ DarkestStorm
I don't know any native americans unfortunately, thank you anyway!

@ Queen In The North
I'll see if I can have a chat with someone, even if it's just to make me feel better. I'll keep burning the candles and incense too. I have a protection symbol tattoo but I'll see if I can find some different ones and tack them to the wall. Thank you!

@ ashreed4521
I'll talk to my mum and see if she has any cleansing rituals in one of her spell books, she has a few now. Thanks a lot!

@ Indigo Umbrella
I did give the house a thorough scrub down yesterday, I'm just worried I angered it more. We give the house a thorough clean down every Sunday and that seems to be when it's at it's worst. I'll try moving the smoke around, all we've done really is the rooms where we've felt the spirit's presence. I'll see if I can buy some Rosemary from the garden centre, or some incense from somewhere. I think my mum might have some incense somewhere so I'll ask her to have a look. You seem to know your stuff, so if I have any further problems I'll let you know. Thanks so much :)

@ Carpe Diem !
I've been burning a lavender candle, would that be okay? I'm due to get a new candle so I'll get a white one, does it matter if it's scented? I'm not really religious, but I'm willing to give anything a shot. I have some rosary beads that I bought ages ago, I'll hang that over my door. I wish I had more for everyone else in my house. I'm glad your aunt managed to get it sorted out. I don't think my mum would let me contact anyone like that anyway, she's really paranoid about people coming into the house. Thank you anyway!

Sage and lavender are hands down my favorite things to burn when I get a bad feeling in the house. A lot of different plants work, but those two are without a doubt my favorite because they make me feel better. Burning white candles is always good too.

Now I don't know if you're religious or not, but every doorway of my house has a cross over it. Whatever your religion is or even if you're not religious, sometimes putting religious items, totems or symbols over doors helps. It's supposed to keep bad spirits away from the doors.

The last thing is to contact someone who deals with this sort of stuff, which is really hard because people can also con money out of you. Something similar to this happened to my aunt but it became really aggressive so they had a lady who practiced santeria (it's not a bad thing like everyone says) and she came and cleansed the house and moved the confused spirit out of the house. Turns out it was a man who didn't know he had passed so he was getting mad when he couldn't communicate.

Hope this helps!!

There things you can do in this situation. You can even do all of these things to get the best results. Several of them were mentioned below; smoke, bells, salt, and even just telling the thing to leave.

I suggest cleaning your whole house. I mean a full clean. Sweep, scrub toilets, take out the trash. A clean home is a happy home. Then open all your windows and doors (if that's safe and no pets can get out or anything) just open the place up as much as you can. You also don't need to use sage. You can, but the plant is becoming endangered. Rosemary has the same effect, so does incense and tobacco. Burn that shit and use your hand or a feather to push the smoke out. Start at your front door and wave the smoke around every area of your house in a clockwise fashion. Open cupboards, closets, all that stuff, get every corner. Blow the smoke out the windows and when you get back to the front door verbally tell the entity to leave and then shut the door.

You can also do the same thing by sprinkling salt or a mixture of salt and ash (or just salt). Then sweep it out at the front door and out of your property. All the way to the driveway, if that's reasonable. You can also make an infusion of salt water in a water bottle or in a bowl and sprinkle or spray it around the house like I said with the smoke. You can also do that with a bell or chanting, telling the thing it isn't welcome and it needs to leave. Banish it and close everything back up in a clockwise fashion until you get to the front door.

Generally that works for most entities or negative energies. However, if it gets worse or it doesn't go away you can make protective wards, which I can help you out with if you need it. Like for reals, this shit is right up my alley. And I did this for my sister a few months ago when she had some problems with a bad energy in her house. I used a combination of salt water, and ash and salt, swept and sprayed down her house and then made a hex sign for her. She hasn't complained yet so I'm guessing it worked.

Anyway, I hope this helps. If you need any help or have any questions just let me know. I can also suggest alternatives if you can't do any of these for any reasons. :)

an ex friend of mine burned the insense frankincense and myrrh. it was burning me Jesus either resurrected or passed, but anyway. look up cleansing spells do a cleansing while burning sage and try to focus on getting rid of whatever it is in ur house.

Also, it might pay you to look up protective symbols against evil, and maybe draw one (in pencil) on your wall, or even draw it on a paper and hang it there. It has to be drawn, printed doesnt work. Although this may not work either, but it was just an idea :) Remember though, you have to draw it exactly cause some protective symbols with slight variations can equal something very different...

As DarkestStorm said. Or, contact a local priest, just to have a chat and see what he says. Keep burning incenses and candles.

Hmm, if you know anyone native american, have someone put some tobacco out around the house for you. My mom used to have her brother do that occasionally.

When I was smaller, I had a bell shaped like a milkmaid that would randomly ring for no reason. We moved it to various spots in the house and it still did it. It freaked everyone out that heard it, even though it was pretty.

when I was about thirteen, something picked my couch up and moved it, with me on it. I was no small fry and we knew it wasn't vibrations because nothing else moved. Other odd things happened to my brothers and sisters, too, but that was a big one. Shortly after, I started studying Wicca and used sage and white feathers to smudge and bless the house. Everything stopped but now the spare bedroom in my new house creeps me out and I refuse to open the door if my husband isn't home.

I pray that this spirt goes away, nobody deserves to feel afraid in their own home. Do you have a dog? I know this is a pretty big precaution, but whenever I feel scared in my house, I have my dog. He's not very big, but I know dogs can sense those kinds of things, and it's also nice to have another living thing with me when I'm home alone. Even if dogs can't sense "sprits", they'll pick up on movement and noises. Sometimes it's just my head, and I can always look to my dog for reassurance. I would also call a priest or any other spiritual investigator, I'm curious as to what they would say. Wishing you the best of luck <3

God Bless

I'd say to get a priest to bless the house or burn and spread sage around the house. That's a very evil energy and you have to get rid of it before it gets worse. All types of spirits can get attached to you and take your energy, use it to make themselves noticed or drain batteries from electronics and take energy that way. It'll only get worse.

My grandma once visited a sort of witch doctor type person and this woman told my grandma that she had a negative spirit attached to her. She said she might have got it from moving through a graveyard too quickly, or something like that. Something that was disrespectful to the dead. She then told her that her daughter was ill, when she wasn't. She got a very serious illness not long after that and it killed her.
So, I totally believe in negative energies and spirits and such and it freaks me the fuck out.

But I also believe that the mind is an incredibly strange thing and studied the philosophy of it for a while which taught me how we can believe in things based on a single fact even if there are a dozen other facts against our beliefs.

I would try to do something that I strongly believe would make me feel better. Like, sprinkle a salt line around this particular area in the room and not step another foot inside that area. You could do it in secret if you think your parents wouldn't let you. Salt isn't going to hurt the floor. I think that would make me feel better, personally, because salt boundaries are something I associate with protection against evil spirits and it would be that thought in the back of my mind that would soothe me and turn my thoughts around. I've felt a presence before in my house and it wasn't a very nice one, but it wasn't doing any harm and it has since gone away. If I'd felt how you describe yourself as feeling, I think i would have done more about it. Just, for myself. For peace of mind.

Also, if I've learnt anything from movies then don't try to communicate with it because that's not gonna end well.

The thing about the hamsters and such is a bit weird... I mean, little animals like that tend to not live very long and can die just like that, without much cause. It probably seems superstitious but might be a totally normal series of events. I mean, I can't imagine why a spirit would kill off so many little lives just to make a point like that? What point? Surely if it was something of another world doing those things, it would have escalated and not remained the same event.
