mmm,i wouldnt really have thought it has anythng to do with ur stepda passing,not if its happened before...would u consider gettin the house blessed again?
can i just ask,does it scare you?just curious cos it would scare the **** outta me.

marti101

It does scare me cause i dont want stuff to be happebing again.its like walking down the road knowing somebody is there the hairs stand up and i feel nervous.We got the hous blessed cause we were messing with an ouiji board.

*melanie*

oh,well the oiji board may explain a few things...did it all start just after yous were messing with the oiji board?maybe you need to get the house excorsised rather thatn blessed...you may find this article helpful.http://www.wikihow.com/Exorcise-Your-House-or-Dwelling

We played the board when i was 13 or 14 went to the priest got everything sorted.Im talking bout the room my kids are in used to be my room and had problems like shadows and the bed being pulled walking round upstairs stuff like that,all that happened when i was 18 or 19.Im 35 now so good difference in age. Stuff hasnt happened in a while but what my kids were saying is what i felt.They are 12 and 13 teenagers so i thought maybe they are attracting spirits cause of all their energy.Anybody got anything else i dont really want to go to priest yet.

Hi Martina,

I understand what you're talking about and I know how uncomfortable you must all feel- but it can be sorted out, trust me. As we all know, there are many people who heartily take the p1ss out of reports such as yours- but I would like to see them take the p1ss when they have to live in your house like you and your kids do..

I have some advice for you (just some steps you can easily carry out yourself), but I won't post it so publicly here, seeing as this place is swarming with vicious skeptics. Check your PM inbox in a few mins..

Stoner

there are planty of people who can help you deal with this type of thing here Marti

I'm sure you can ask questions away, the charter protects agains people takinf the mick in this forum. If you are looking for suggestions for people who could help then PM me and I'll ask them for you. I dont get involved in this sort of thing myself, but sometimes these things help

Whispered

Not to appear rude or nosey but could you post the tips you get, and if people have advice could you also post here. If someone else has a similar problem they don't have to go asking the same questions. Not to mention the fact it's very interesting. (And I'm suprisingly nosey)

Also the sceptics here are not that bad, so don't worry about asking questions.

hi O.P.just read your post, i agree with some of the posters here in that it's nothing to do with your stepdad. it sounds more like it's something to with someone that you were close to who passed away when you were in your teens, it's not coming across as being evil. it's scary for anyone that experiences shadows and all that stuff for the first time.
when broken down it's like this
you say you've experienced it when you were a teenager , now it's your kids.
you used to use the same bedroom that your kids are now using.
O.P. may i ask if you would consider yourself to be gifted in anything or anyway to do with the paranormal.?

Where possible I think it's best if we keep as much of a discussion on thread as possible, to get the widest range of views and ideas, and of course for everyone's interest.

If there are any posts that are vicious or that people are unhappy with, please use the 'report a post' button beside each post.

I dont know but sometimes i am quite sensitive like moving in to a new house years ago i knew it was haunted.But i was told that my nana was very gifted that way .I did dream that my stepdad died a few days before he did.I will try some of the things and let you know.\The thing is i have to be careful as i dont want to frighten the kids.

Hi Martina,

How have you been getting on since at home with that spirit activity? Is it still being disruptive, and did you put any of the advice into action yet?

If it's any consolation at all, I could feel some sort of spirit/entity right beside me less than a couple of weeks ago. It lasted for about a week, before which I had firmly basically told 'it' to f*ck off somewhere else! :pac: No way in Hell was I imagining it- I'll explain why.. One particular night, I was upstairs writing when I could physically feel cold air blowing down at me from my right side only. It was like something/someone breathing hard above me, only it was freezing cold.

The two windows were closed (had been closed several hours before that, btw), and the door was shut. It wasn't a case of drafts and such because this particular room was only constructed last year, fully insulated, and fitted with brand new Velux windows. Plus, normally, that room has always tended to contain heat. At the mo', it's so warm in there these nights, I can't even get to sleep! So, there was no logical reason whatsoever for the presence of cold air. I had a crick in my f*cking neck the following morning from it as well.

Another night, I called my housemate into the living room when I could sense this f*cking thing again. We put out the lights and waited just outside the door in the hall with the door of the room open. BTW, she said she couldn't sense any presence. After about a minute, we BOTH HEARD the sound of footsteps shufflinf a bit across the carpet in the room before it stopped. NEITHER OF US had set foot in the room (we were right outside in the hall, which is made of linolineum), and we were the only people in the house at the time. She was very shaken by it.

After nearly a week of constantly feeling someone right beside me, I was seriously p1ssed off. It's like someone living being f*cking SuperGlued to your shoulder and being with you everywhere you go. Very invasive. It didn't matter where I was or what I was doing either- in a quiet spot at my workplace, eating, in bed, outside on the grass, in the bloody loo, watching TV, in the middle of a conversation with someone, in a shop somewhere, and even in the cinema (!) I swear I could almost 'see' energy moving in front of my eyes as well as feeling an intensity in the air- a bit like a living person, but minus their body. In those instances where I'd be talking away to someone, I'd notice my hearing 'shift' a small bit and the words of the person would become secondary in its audibility. Then this sort of deafening silence (contradictory, I know) would come to the fore and I could hear sort of 'movement' through it. Like a TV that's been turned down to the minimum volume levels. Daft, I know.

Anyway (after this long rant!) it took me several attempts to make it [EMAIL="sh@g"]sh@g[/EMAIL] off for itself. I made it very clear I didn't want it anywhere within my vicinity. In all fairness, you're entitled to claim your own space and NO-ONE (living or dead) has the right to impinge on that.

Look, I hope that mega-rant is some bit helpful..!

not trying to hijack this thread but my cousins kid is experiencing something similar. she's about 7 and last year she woke up and went into her father and told him there where people in the room. obviously there was no one there. but last week she woke him again and said the same thing. not he doesn't believe in this stuff but I am open to it.

I've no knowledge if anything happened in the house before and there was no family deaths or anything recently. the thing is the child will complain about it and get into the bed beside them and this will go on for a day or two and will then be OK in her own bed. another thing is that her baby sister (1 year old) is in the same room but doesn't seem to be upset or anything about it.

I've heard that children and animals are suppose to be more perceptive to the paranormal but do you guys reckon that she may be just playing up?

Did you try a clearing for this individual? Maybe they were looking for help, and seeing as how you're obviously very sensitive, came to you?

hi,well il tell you a situation that i was in,and it is quite funny,but at the same time i do believe in the paranormal...but i laughed out loud when i was minding my 5 year old neice one night,and all was well when she fell asleep,until she woke and came into the living room to me and said that she could see people in the bedroom,i was startled by this and asked her did she know who it was,and how many could she see.well i couldnt believe it when she said there was loads of them and they were yellow people!!! i said who do they look like then...she said the simpsons!!!lol
se really seemed genuinly afraid,but it was obvious she was dreaming or something so i told her to go back to bed.when her mum came home,i told her what happened,she cracked up laughing and told me this was not the 1st time that she seen these simpsons!
so,i do think in some situations that its just a case of an over active imagination. i think its easy to tell the difference though.
as i said,i really do believe in these things and i dont want anyone to think im hi-jacking this thread with rubbish...im just pointing out that some kids do just think they see things but are probably just dreaming. i think you can judge by the way they are carrying on.

It could easily be that the area on which they live has a high emf field. Also subsonic sounds can effect the senses.

worth looking into before claiming it as spiritual activity.

"Feelings" aside if stuff is being moved then does EMF explain that? Its easy to dismiss bits of most cases but when you put a few things happening together its worth a look. Marti, drop me a PM if there is anything I can do or look at for you.

sub sonic vibrations ie very low inaudible frequencies can move objects.

I am not dismissing it but its worthy of investigation as all areas should be looked into. I also don't see how its anymore impractical than a poltergiest.

I am just offering her an area that might have caused these 'feelings' and occurrences like you.

(I'll be f*cked outta it for sorta hi-jacking this thread now, but let them rage on after me..! )

I'm not hugely knowledgeable about spirit clearings in general, though I know of some specific steps that may assist a person in encouraging the dead to move on. I've read about 'smudging' using sage or sandalwood, as well as placing rock salt on window sills. The most basic measure of all is to simply ask your guardian angel (whether you believe in angels or not- I'm admittedly undecided having not ever seen them), to guide the spirit into the next world.

I don't think I could have been of any assistance to that dead person/entity- when it comes to the dead, I find myself very out of my depth. I have only seen the dead three times. The first time, when I saw my grandmother when I was 11, and the second was when I saw a spirit glowing white in the shape of a fully grown human being in a remote part of land near where I grew up. The third time was about 2 years ago when I saw a man running towards me on the other side as I was walking- he was there for about 50 seconds before he just seemed to 'disappear'. And that was at about 6pm on a bright June evening. Other than those, it's just been hearing people making movements when there' s no-one else in the house and sensing being 'watched' the odd time.

I know a woman who is a well regarded medium and when I bumped into her last month, she told me that she could see the spirit of an 8-year-old boy in my aura/energy field. She said that my overall aura was a bright yellow but that she could see a grey 'fingerprint' in it, as well as the spirit boy hovering by me. He was a mischievous spirit, but not gravely harmful. She said that he was beginning to pull away but that I needed to summon my guardian angel.

But I had picked up on the spirit several days before I met her. I had been sitting down at home thinking back over the crap week I had had (in hospital due to stomach bug- first time in hospital since I was 7-years-old), when I suddenly got the thought that something was attached to me. Sort of a parasitic attachment. As much of a goddamn dope as I felt, I said aloud, "GO AWAY. Stop weighing down on me and just leave". That sort of thing. Felt like an eejit, but f*ck it anyway.

Well, I followed her advice to talk to my guardian angel, did my best to believe in it for the sake of this, lit a candle and it was done. My medium friend said that a person can become susceptible to spirit attachment if their physical immunity is low due to illness or if their mental/emotional health has been compromised due to substance abuse or trauma; all of these risk factors are exascerbated if the person in question has visited spirit 'hot spots' such as hospitals, graveyards, and convalescence homes. That would certainly make a smorgasbord of sense to me. I noticed that I felt a lot stronger after I did my bit to get rid of the spirit boy. Before that (which was immediately after I had been discharged from hospital), I had been in an uncharacteristically fragile state- crying, worrying about things over which I wouldn't usually fret, and being genuinely afraid to be on my own (even just alone in a room). Basically irrational fear- and very unlike me altogether.

My domain is predominantly knowing things about people I've only just met, saying what people are thinking before they say it, buying useful presents for people I know who live abroad when it was exactly what they needed, etc. To give one example: I was inside in the 'Births, Marriages, Deaths' records office late last year getting hold of my long form birth certificate. The guy who served me seemed in a chirpy mood so I was making small talk with him. When he said he was living in an area near Cork Airport, without even thinking, I said, "Oh, I know that people go up to this hill behind the airport not far from that area to listen in to the planes' pilots, using a two-way radio. I know there's this one plane that comes in at 9:45pm". The guy at the counter froze looking at me in shock before saying, "I go up there to listen in to the planes with my radio. I was there for the 9:45 one last night!". He as spooked as I was surprised with myself.

I don't mind that 'lower level' stuff- I'm not too keen on things that are dead, though. No, thanks.

Just thought id give an update,after i was on here i got some good advice.Anyway i asked it to leave and all was queit,but last night we were sitting watching the telly when we heard a bang.Even my boyfriend who doesnt really believe looked at me and said whats that.It was in the front room and there was nobody in the room,but went to check as baby was in bed.Something happened last week my oldest son whos 13 said he was asleep and he woke up and turned around and he said he seen a man in the room.Hes a light sleeper and wakes up straight away so i dont think it was sleep paralisis[sp].I was just finished telling my bf about the man when we heard the bang.There was nobody upstairs to make the noise.Im thinking of getting a priest to bless the house but i really dont want to freak the kids out about it.

seems like a good approach, keep it on the QT but get it done for your own peace of mind

deelin

agree with stoner- could you have your kids out of the house for the day and they wouldnt know that it was being done?

also, in terms of hearing bangs etc- someone may be just 'stuck' in the house and the bang is the closest communication they can have with you- you said you had just finished telling your friend...
we are all conditioned from films etc to look at 'bumps in the night' as a negative, frightening thing, but if you can try and turn it around in your own thinking and your childrens thinking that you may have the privilege of helping someone to pass on who may be confused and stuck between worlds....you are in the position of helper....

marti101

Its getting rid of the kids to get the priest in.I dont want to freak them out cause i had some trouble in that room for many years,.

deelin

i know what you mean.....probably best to leave them out of tghe process as much as possible.
also i wouldnt know as much as others on this re crystals and energies etc- but would you think of putting some crystals in the room also? rose quartz and amethyst to help the energy?

Could someone take them to the movies or somethng for the afternoon? Are they old enough to drop them and leave them to watch the film themselves and go back to the house? Probably not a runner for you but just a casual way to get them out of teh house without arousing their suspicions.

you sound (naturally) very scared. I hope its not stirring you any bad memories for you. Are you afraid for the safety of your children?
