This odd little thing just happened and I thought I would share. 18 years ago my friend Dave took his own life. That was on my mind today but i went on with my day as i have for the past 18 years on this date. As I was sitting here reading I was over whelmed with the scent of Polo(his scent). I then heard some one move across the living room(odd becuse I am the only one home) and the sound of some one going down the steps out front. I am sure it was Dave saying hi. Just thought I would share.

This happened ten years ago, and at the time I was deeply clueless about what we actually had in our house. That's the biggest reason I'm posting it here: for common knowledge. It's also just a rather intriguing occurrence, or perhaps you've had similar experiences so this will help you feel less crazy. But at least after reading this, you'll know some of the "symptoms" of this type of problem so if it ever happens to you, you'll have a better idea of how to combat it.

I still feel more than a little nuts to say that we had trouble with a wandering demon, but the smells, sights, and sounds can't be explained any better. Not to mention that it coincided with my therapy so perfectly and ranged past what we knew how to explain at the time...only to fit in perfectly with the textbook signs of a demon that I learned years later.

Is this similar to what any of you have experienced? Do you have any other explanations besides "demon"? Any other explanation still defies me: and I have a science background!

I had a somewhat small, random, experience last weekend.
I work for an elderly couple with random odds and ends, and this particular day, I was needed to organise a massive book collection by genre and put them in boxes. I had two tables set up - one for books that needed to be organised, and the other was my working table. I would stack small stacks of books at a time, alphabetize them so it makes looking through the list easier. I'm going through one stack, I took some books to a box I had set up on the other side of the garage. I come back, there's a book I've never seen before laying on top of the small stack I had just gone through. I never saw the book before, and it certainly wasn't alphabetized. I know I didn't miss it because there were maybe 7 books, and I had taken more than half to put in the box. It was strange! I didn't feel uncomfortable, and I kept working for another 3 hours. I realised afterward, that these books I was organising belonged to the wife's late sister, so maybe she was helping me out.

Hey all who gave me advice. About the haunting I had. The ward worked so far. But I think some way some how I think the same entity went to my friends house and haunts him now. I still have weird stuff happen every so many weeks but not half as scary. It can no longer get in my room if it does try to get in the house. I feel lots more protected. and thanks again for the advice. I really appreciate it very very much. and sorry it took so long I been in the hospital with my dad for what seems like for ever. But I am back. 

good to know Ive found such a place...Im all into this kind of stuff...and nice to know I found people that are likewise... never know who you can talk to about it! :/

Hello there. :) I haven't been active in this community for a few years now, so I have to get the hang of being back in the groove of things. Alright,
( let's get started...Collapse )


EDIT: Fixed the cut since I'm a n00b.

Hello there, I wrote about my father's experience a few days ago and got wonderful comments. Now I'd like to share a bit about my house.

I moved there around 10 year ago, it wasn't an old house, we bought an old land and built it up. Things were pretty calm for most of the time, but I think there's something inside that only shows itself when there's something bad happening around the house, probably residing inside my brother's room.


( The story, and something caught in the CCTVCollapse )

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but it's worth a try! I'd like to get some advice.

First of all, I've had experiences with the paranormal from a young age. When I was a baby my great-grandmother died, and when I was around 3-5 years old I would apparently see her sitting at the bottom of my bed, and would even talk to her (although I don't remember this, I'm just going from what my family have told me). My grandmother also saw this ghost when she was staying at our house. She happened to be sleeping in my room at the time, I think my room has the most activity? I remember once I caught a climpse of a white figure gliding into my bedroom.

It's been several years since that though, and I haven't seen or sensed her since (I still live in the same house, I'm 17 years old now, so about 10 years since that sighting).

I've started to sense something else though, and to be honest I'm starting to worry a bit about it! The first time I started feeling something strange was when I was around 13-14. It's hard to describe the feeling, it's almost as if something is standing by my bed (always on the left side by my closet) and I get a feeling of dread wash over me. It's an incredibly intense sensation. At first I'd just try and ignore it, or hide under my covers, but it soon became hard to ignore. Eventually I started sleeping downstairs to avoid it. I couldn't even go into my room on some days. Around this time I was diagnosed with depression, and I'd occasionally self harm and have suicidal thoughts. I eventually spoke to my mother about it but she brushed it off, saying it was just my mind playing tricks on me. I assumed it was some sort of manifestation of the negative emotions I'd been going through.

My mother did agree to let my grandmother's friend check out my room. She's able to sense spirits, and she stood in my room for a while, but said she sensed nothing (although she said I had a lot of negative energy centered in my stomach area?). I honestly know nothing about these things haha. It's interesting that she said that I have the 'gift' too, I'd be interested in learning more about this subject.

The presence eventually stopped when I finished school (which played a part in my depression) and I thought it was over. Recently though it's started again, and it seems just as bad as before. I try and leave the TV on but turn the volume off, because it seems to ward off the feeling and I find it comforting in a way. I've started to simply stay up late to avoid going to bed though, and I've barely had any sleep because of this. I'm exhausted constantly and I just want this to end.

I'm not sure if this is related, but I occasionally have nightmares that involve a figure in a black cape and red face/mask. It sort of reminds me of asian oni masks, with two bottom teeth sticking out like tusks. It never actually does anything in the dreams, it just stands still and stares. When I think of what I'm sensing in my room, I tend to picture it as a tall, shadowy figure, and I tend to think of it as male.

One last thing is I tend to feel the bottom of my bed shaking? I'll be in bed and it will feel like my legs are vibrating, and if I sit up and touch the bed with my hands I can feel the shaking. It's always the bottom half, and tends to happen randomly. I've noticed I sometimes get bruises on my legs but don't remember banging them against anything. Could this be related at all?

Anyway I think I've written enough! I just had to get this off of my chest haha. Thank you for reading!

I am currently moving out of a 110+ year old house that has had a LOT of activity (over 10 separate spirits seen there over the 5-6 year period I lived in the house). I have not brought anything but clothes to my boyfriend's apartment so far, as I'm still deciding what to keep and what I'll be putting in storage, etc. He's afraid of me bringing over the myriad of mirrors I own, as that is where he's seen several of the entities whereas I've seen them point blank with my own eyes as well as in the mirrors. I've started with a pagan friend attempting to cleanse the mirrors but nothing big has been done yet.

So, we're laying in bed yesterday morning at the apartment, which is a small 1 bedroom, joined kitchen/dining area, and living room with one bathroom. Teeny tiny apartment. Our two dogs are in the bedroom with us, which is normal (we work nights and sleep during the day. It was probably a little before noon, so the middle of our sleep schedule). I had just gotten into bed after battling a bit of insomnia and was half-asleep, when suddenly the door creaks open. Our bedroom door is the kind which has to be opened very slowly for it to creak like that - when opened at normal speed it makes no noise. Boyfriend shoots straight up in bed and just stares at the door. I don't even look over, and tell him it's just the dogs, and to lay down. He replies, "But both of the dogs are laying down."

And lo and behold, they both are. They are also both staring at the door. Odd.

I finally convince him to go back to sleep and nothing else has happened since. In the past few months, I have been over there when I have heard odd bumps and bangs, and once early in the morning one of the dog's toys started squeaking by itself in another room, but nothing like this before. BF said that out of the corner of his eye he saw something that looked like a Warlock's Imp from World of Warcraft (great at descriptions, this one is, lemme tell you haha) like peek around the door but he said maybe our corgi's ear could account for that (highly doubtful... but maybe I guess).

I'm really hoping nothing has followed me from the other house but I will be conducting a house blessing ASAP at the apartment... any thoughts?
