How Do I Rid Myself From Taunting Spirits?

This is a very serious inquiry. It effects my mental and physical well being. I have many questions I wish to receive honest and helpful opinions of..

I am a twenty year old girl who I believe to posses strong traits of empathy and spirituality. I believe in all religions, but I wouldn’t call myself religious. I believe in God and that the Universe is of our highest divine source.  My personality would lead to present more Buddhist/Zen perspectives as I act out of Love and believe to radiate and act with positive energy and mindfulness.

Recently I’ve moved into one of our towns oldest and historically land marked buildings. This building was a hotel but has since turned into a bar and hostel with rooms still containing the buildings original furniture. (Brass headboard beds, old ceramic colossal tubs with brass eagle legs and pictures from when it was first built.) The town itself is believed to be cursed by an Indian Chief. As in when it was first discovered the town founder had betrayed this Chiefs trust and so he cast a curse which would forever hold nature against its favor. Coincidentally the town later would flood every year destroying homes and properties. It lit fire almost destroying the town more then once.

The building I live in is said to have almost burnt down twice with these fires. Killing victims with it each time. Children, men, women. Its always been said haunted due to sighting and paranormal unexplained experiences. These experiences include: seeing a old lady in lovely dress powdering her face in the second floor bathroom. Children playing with one another in the staircase and/or running up and down stairs or hallways. A man in the bar who walks back and forth, sometimes unplugging plugging in devices or knocking on the doors. I haven’t seen any of these spirits but have a friend who is very connected to the spirit realm. There is a boy, who especially takes a liking to her and talks to her when she comes. She says he sits on the bottom step with a ball in his hand waiting for his friend. I have never received any sudden signs of a spirit presence from these spirits. But believe there is more then plenty of truth to believe they exist.

Before this moment, I experienced what I believe are indirect encounters such as: knocking on my door, laughing in the hallways, hearing steps down/ up stairs. Tapping on the window. Sounds of paper being ruffled through. I admit to have always been scared/ yet open to negative energy. Hoping it wouldn’t follow me. Recently I’ve been experiencing uneasy vibes around me. Black masses that pass before me, hang around the corner of my eye, even a red mass has shortly been seen stand beside the wardrobe. Mostly I’ve seen transparent smoke like blurred masses of what appears to be tall humanly shaped forms. When I see these masses I feel there is something I’m needed to help with.

Im going to jump back a little and state I’ve been in two rooms prior and had no doubts it was haunted or present with spirits.  It wasn’t until entering this room that Ive heard voices in my head taunting, mocking and making fun of the fears and qualities I have. I know these are not my thoughts because I’ve never talked to myself with such negative hateful comments. There was a suicide committed in this room two or three years ago and I am not sure if its connected me somehow to these thoughts and masses. These voices mimic my loved friends and talk in my ear about me for hours. Making me feel horrible and unworthy to life. I know these thoughts aren’t mine because they try to urge me to get angry and confront these people. I know in my heart these thoughts aren’t mine and that the friends in them aren’t talking about me. I started talking to them and they answer back with things that never crossed my mind or have heard these people say.. These aren’t just auditory hallucinations..

I also experience ringing in my ears almost constantly, soft ringing and destructive, cold air that raises hair on my arm, tingly arm/leg (s), lightheartedness. Theres one girl wjo is is my head the most. She narrates my life and mocks me as I try to live through the day. I cant sleep anymore with these voices of torment. During the night there  is my boyfriends voice, or one of his close friends voice. These friends are always hanging out at our house and are trusted by him and so trusted by me. They tell him how horrible I am. This girl sometimes sticks up for me when the men are present but otherwise shes apart of it. I hear what to me are full conversations. When there is no sound I hear faint nothings at all but the louder the sound the louder the voices. These voices also mimic and speak above my own thoughts.

When I was in bed last night I was told they were all around me. I could see transparent masses on the bed and sitting or standing. I was told there were four or five different people in my room. One always wanted to get inside my head and I feel like I actually let it inside. One I was able to push away but still hovered above me or my boyfriend laying next to me and one, who kept their distance from me and sat across the room. Throughout the day these masses dark or clear always stay close. One time I was made to believe so much that I should harm myself I almost did. Or another I saw a black shadow going to touch my back and I jumped at its presence.. I cant turn off these voices or change what they say or talk about.

Each day occurrences get more intense and I get more scared and feel that attracts more and makes me an open target. I couldn’t even meditate last night without the constant yammer and disapproval of these words. Often I would have white lights come through the black but no amount of focus could stop the blackness from entering. I’m fearful of getting left alone most times, for I don’t know if I know what to do is such events as apparitions or possessions took place. I know I’m not crazy, but I feel like could very well open up to vulnerability without meaning to.

Are these scenarios just in my head or should I do a through self and house cleanse to disattach myself from these. I even took it upon myself to ask god to help remove them from my presence and slowly I felt pressure relieved from my mind, yet I was getting pushed back against. I don’t need anti-psychotics. I need another perspective solution.. Please help me find out what I may need  to do. If one of these spirits needs help I will do my best to help them find peace too.

Dream Inside A Dream After Visiting Abandoned Hospital

This has never happen to me before. I have heard voices in my sleep since I was a  child, but I have never had an experience like this.. I live in Allegan Michigan. Their is an old abandoned hospital called the John Robinson Hospital. The facility was supposedly frequented by Mafia figures such as Al Capone, the Prohibition-era Chicago mob boss, and his men when they needed medical attention or when they simply needed to get away from Chicago.Years later, it was used as an Eagles lodge, an Elks Lodge and in 2010 was acquired by an Allegan woman who began renovating the property but now wants to sell it.

People say their are Seven different paranormal entities are said to reside there. Kids that had TB, a caretaker that hung himself on the porch and a man that is called Tall Louie. Also the basement is a most negative area of the place.

I went there last night with my fiance because we wanted to walk around the building again and see if we got that “creepy feeling” again. we walked about the building and took pictures, one photo we took looks like a man standing in the window but I’m not quite sure if its just a reflection of a tree. Also their was foot prints in the snow, but…little kids feet without shoes, it very cold here to be without shoes. it was very strange. anyways sorry for my rambles, maybe you can help me understand more about what happen with my dream?…

I was relaxed and tired and quickly fell asleep. not sure what time it was but I was still sleeping but my head started tingling, nothing painful, like a numb feeling, but in my dream I was awake laying in bed by my fiance like normal, I caught a QUICK glimpse of a man,then after that I couldn’t see him. He said my name Katie, right in my ear clear as day, not a voice I’ve heard before. older about 30-40 years..guessing, he was calm but I was scared, I asked him what he wanted? why was he here? and the response I got was “light of orb” then I woke up. startled and confused. I went back to bed and the same thing happened but it wasn’t the guy in my last dream. my head felt fuzzy again. I was terrified in my dream, I was hugging my dog and my fiance, praying to god over and over again. This thing was demon.

I woke up thinking I was hugging my fiance but I wasn’t, I realized I was dreaming again… could the spirits followed me home? Was he trying to tell me something?  I’m so confused. I’ve heard voices here and their (not mentally ill) but I have never felt that fuzzy feeling before.

Cat Seeing Things

I moved into a new apartment in December.

My cat recently started “following” things I cannot see. One time he was laying on the living floor & slowly got up to a standing position while staring a “something” in the foyer by the entry door.

Black Cat

The other night I found him on my bed staring at something over the headboard. He doesn’t appear frightened, but sometimes seems excited during these episodes.

He’s healthy in every other way. My cat “Max” passed a year ago this month & I’m wondering if it’s his spirit, or someone else’s in the form of orbs that I can’t see?

I plan to take pictures next time it happens, but is there anything I can do to help move this spirit, if it is a spirit, onward?

Thanks for your help!

Haunted Dream Catcher?

For a while now, I’ve had this feeling that something was following me. And yeah- paranoia, almost everybody has experienced it, or have it. Not me though. Never.

Until the last couple of months though. It all started when I went over to my friends house, (like I do almost every weekend), but this time, it was different. When I came into her room, she and her father were holding an EXTREMELY large Dream Catcher. Don’t get me wrong- it’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I was very jealous that she got a hold of it for such a low price. But right off the bat, once I got past it odd beauty, it felt very…. I don’t know, negative? I didn’t like the feelings I was getting from it.

Needless to say, she set it up anyways, hanging on her wall right next to where I sleep when I’m over. Which was fine, okay, that’s cool. Well, that was until her father told us the reason it was so cheap.

Dream CatcherApparently, the owner’s husband wanted it out of the house for the longest time. His wife, an old, quiet woman, supposedly would see spirits IN the front center of the dream catcher. It would scare her husband all those years, where she’d pause to look into the thing for however long, and tell him what she saw and how terrifying it was.

By this moment in the story, I was like, yeah, okay. Sure. But, things started happening around their home. After all this time. There weren’t many details at all really, but he wanted it out. ASAP. So, there the thing was, hanging right next to my body while I tried to sleep.

The story ended, leaving us all spooked and just laughing it all off, not wanting to believe it, but we knew in the back of our heads something was up.

A couple weeks later, my friend starts telling me about this door that’s right outside her window, on the side of her house that leads underneath. It’s big enough for loads of people to be down there, which is pretty creepy. This door, which is pure metal, and VERY heavy, is always stuck shut by her dad, who checks it everyday. We tried pulling it open once, and it wouldn’t even budge.

So anyways, we’re relaxing in her room one night, drawing and listening to some quiet music, when suddenly we hear banging on the metal door. And when I say this door is basically right by her room, I seriously mean it. I could stick my hand out of the window, lean far down, and touch it.

So we’re pretty freaked, but we still stick our heads out  the window and look down. The door is closed, and all is quiet. So we shrug it off, thinking something must have it it or something (from the outside).

But I kid you not- we go to sit back down, and it happens again, but this time, it’s multiple bangs, and we run back to the window, and holy crap, the door is open, laying down towards the ground.

So what do we do? We go outside with kitchen knives.

We had no intentions of hurting anyone, or animal, it was just for protection in-case. So we rush outside, leaving the back door wide open behind us if we needed to bolt outta there, and we walk towards the little metal door- which is open and pitch black inside.

So, my friend shines the light at the whole, and I being the slightly braver one, kneel down and stick some of my body in through the door.

I look around. there is literally nothing in there. Not little animal feces, or marks on the ground on top of the dust to see if something had been walking around.

So we’re pretty freaked, but close it up, VERY tight. And set something in front of it so it wouldn’t fall open or anything.

We go to turn back, and all of a sudden, the back door, which we left OPEN, slams shut. So, generally, we slightly scream and, of course, run towards the door and into the house.

Moving along, we tell her parents in the morning and they fix up the door to stay closed.

I come back for a couple weeks, every weekend, and yeah, we always here pitter patter and banging, but the door never opened again. I always feel watched at her home and can’t be in a room alone for too long.. Anyways, it freaked us out, made chills go up our spines, but we just passed it off as some animal, even though we went down there and there were no signs of any animals.

It wasn’t until a couple weeks again that I finally lost my mind with this whole ordeal. Here we are, sitting on her bed again, but on out phone again, when suddenly we hear something loud and harsh slams against something outside, it even shook the bed.

We sprang up, already knowing it was the door, and looked out the window.

This door. the huge, heavy, metal door, was LITERALLY thrown across her yard, a good couple feet away, laying in the grass. So we grab, knives, even my friends prop machete, and run out there. But of course.

Nothing. Was. There.

So we’re screaming, calling her dad, (Who is a truck driver and was on his way home) and he tells us to go back in side and calm down, it was just some ‘animal’. Yeah, what freaking animal would literally football throw a metal door across your freaking yard, dude?

My friend, bless her none paranoid heart, believed him and went straight inside to bed. But me on the other hand, felt sick. Like, vomit sick for some reason. I walked around the room, feeling a little woozy, but also wide awake. I was definitely not going to sleep that night. Around six AM, I started getting extremely week out of NO WHERE. I was a calm, slight ball of energy. But my body started to feel tingly all over, and my limps fell stiff for a moment. I wasn’t sleepy, just…. weak. It only took a few moment’s, but suddenly I felt free again and bright awake. Like I was finally being able to breathe.

I call my mom an hour later to come pick me up. I tell her I don’t feel good and she buys it and I go home.

Ever since, I get the feeling that something is like, practically sitting on my shoulders. Breathing down my neck wherever I go. Even as I type this now, I feel just…. Not alone. In my own home. In my own body.

I’ve been paranoid lately and swear that sometimes, when it’s quiet, I can hear something…laughing. I don’t know how. Or why. But I can hear them. Or it. Or when I have headphones on, they’ll go static-y and I SWEAR the musician’s voice will change in pitch completely, scaring, (Pardon my language), shit outta me.

I don’t like listening to music anymore. Leaving my room. food just doesn’t sit right with me, and sometimes my body will do things on it’s own. Like move. Sometimes, I’ll be reading, and I swear the words change on me. I read one thing, see something crazy, go re-read it, and see that I read it wrong. But How? How do I read a whole sentence wrong? Maybe I’m worrying myself too much. I haven’t been sleeping well at all. Not even sleeping medications can keep me under for long. Do any of you have advice, or tips? Or, (I wish), answers?

All I know is, that I’m either crazy, paranoid and over-reacting, or I am NEVER purchasing a dream catcher. Ever.

What Is Going On With Me?

I have a question regarding an activity that has happened twice in my life. I have had sights, I even have been attacked by some strange looking demon and have been held down by some lady that looked like an old ugly woman and a girl about 10 years old but very strong.

What I’m wondering about is being thrown inside my dads body to see something that was about to happen to my son. Oh it did happen to my son. At the moment I was in the body I couldn’t focus on what I was suppose to because I was so amused over the eye sockets. The bony area around the eye. I felt nothing but amusement.

What is that traveling into another and how would one do it again? Oh I figure I have some dang ghost around me but I worry someone is talking to my grandson at times. He dead stopped in the middle of sliding down the slide when he said, and I mean he was angry and pointed to his head saying to someone, “Your crazy this is my house”. Not sure who he was talking to but since he has something he can see or do, I didn’t want to take that from him or add to it.

We didn’t say anything to him just looked at him and wondered who he was talking to. However, later that night he referred the conversation to “they” so I take it there were more than one he was talking to.

I’ve been attacked in this home twice and even moved my bedroom downstairs because of it. Usually I’m not afraid of a ghost cause I’ve been around so much strange stuff now and I normally would tell them to settle down and stop cause I’m tired and want to go to sleep. However after being really assaulted upstairs I had to move down here.

Smelling Cigarette Smoke But No One Else Smells It

On and off for over a year now I have been smelling cigarette smoke. But no one else can smell it. None of my family or friends smoke, and I’ve not been around smokers. I smell it where ever I go, anywhere in my house, at the shops, in the street. At times it gets very annoying as its constant and I don’t like smoking or being around smoke.

My nan passed away 15 years ago when I was 14 and we were close. She was a smoker. I’ve always liked to think that she is around me and looking out for me and my children.

Could this be spiritual? I don’t know what else to think or what it could be. I can smell it now as if someone is next to me who has been smoking, its quite strong, so far this time I’ve been smelling it for around 3 or 4 days. Last time it lasted probably 2 to 3 weeks.

Anything anyone can tell me or help with will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Amy

Caught A Spirit?

All my life I was told a story of my fathers great grandfather who caught a “spirit” while it was trying to kill his wife. The great grandfather was given the choice of iron or hair. I am not sure what he chose or what this means.

I do come from a ” special” family. My grandmother aunt myself and daughter (all on my fathers side of the family) have abilities.

My daughter and myself see and talk to spirits. We lived in a house that was very haunted. We have since moved.

I am very interested in learning the meaning of this family story.

A Shared Dream

Wondering if you can give some advice. I am trying to keep this concise. My spouse struggles with alcohol addiction. Basically his entire family does. Otherwise, he is a very high energy and a very spiritual person.

In the past he has done or said things that were totally out of character and I felt like it was not him. In a dream I was shown that it in fact was not him. I did not know what was going on, but I knew it was not him.

Recently it was on my mind to bless our house but I ignored it. Then another incident happened where he wasn’t himself again. I prayed for clarification and that same night I had a dream that his dead grandmother (who was very afraid of death and fought till the last moment), was attached to him and feeding off the negative energy she created in our marriage. I have a feeling she is doing this with other members of his family as well. I blessed the house of course. His drinking habits have changed dramatically!

Here’s the question: One night, in the middle of it all we had a shared dream. We both dreamed someone was banging loudly at our front door. I was scared initially, then I felt the inclination that my initial jump to fear is false, and this may be a positive thing. But, boy google doesn’t help with that.

I have learned to go with my gut, but reading this post does make me question my feelings that this may be a positive thing. My husband and I have done a lot of growing and are on the verge of a new beginning. He is still making major progress with his addiction even after the dream incident. So, that is why if feel it has to be positive. But, anyway, please any input would be great.
