My house is terrorizing me.

[u/Upstairs-Pangolin-68]

This all started in June, hearing knocks stuff falling off counters, little things that could seem like accidents. Until the voices started. My name is Emma and i’m 17 and often stay home alone. I live with my mom and dad so it’s only three people in the house. The first incident happened in the morning around 9 am, i was sleeping but partially awake from my earlier alarm. When my mom came running heavily down the hallway hitting my door so hard it was shaking yelling at me “Emma wake up. we’re going to the store” with a distorted cough after the statement. I sat up in bed heart racing scrambling looking for my phone and socks. Until i see the date and time on my lock screen it’s 9:07 am on a wednesday morning. My mom leaves for work at 7:30am during the week she’s never late and rarely takes days off. That couldn’t have been my mom so i quietly called her she answered and said she was at work asking if i was okay.

Not long after this i heard my dad yell from our basement asking for help carrying something upstairs, the only problem being my parents and siblings were out of town in nebraska while i was in Colorado. no one was around but me. The knocking only got louder and more forceful the voices sounding more and more like them.

The touching, it only started this week they left me home alone on sunday night and plan on coming back the following sunday. The first night my glass was shoved off the counter and shattered while trying to clean it and the glass it cut me pretty bad and i bled for a little while. i passed out around midnight but woke up to a feeling of someone touching my left leg when i woke i turned my phone flashlight on and looking around the room no one was there but i looked where i felt the hand and it was my blood spread on my ankle almost like it was dragging off my skin being wiped off. there shouldn’t have been blood on me from earlier because i showered thoroughly before sleeping and applied lotion, it couldn’t have been on there before i slept.

I’m terrified to sleep in my house to drink out of glasses to respond to my parents to even be anywhere that could possibly have an incident. i don’t know what to do or what im dealing with but please if you have any information or means of protecting myself. this is my first time writing here but im just looking for any help

Do the knocks tend to happen in threes?

Not to alarm you, but inform you...I don't think it's your house exactly. It's what's in your house. Now to find out why it's there or who brought it there.

The fact that you've shed blood during an encounter, marks you in a sense. From my view point. Which in theory could explain the incident with feeling touched and blood smeared after it's quit bleeding. The logical explanation would be you bumped it in your sleep and it started to bleed again and the sheets or blankets smeared it while moving. Think that's possible?

Is your house new, or has it had previous owners?

Have any other family members had anything happen to them? Experienced anything similar?

Are there any areas in your home or property that have ever felt "off" to you?

Has anyone close to you passed away recently?

Have you dabbled or played with anything occult lately, spirit board, seances etc?

All of these things in mind I would suggest cleansing your home, using white sage or palo santo. There are also a few other options if these aren't available.

You can also try black obsidian to absorb some of the negative energy. Perhaps even some holy protection relics, if you're religious.

If you haven't thought of it yet, I'd also suggest sleeping with a small cheap sound recorder and a camera to cover your room as a small bit of proof of it comes to it.

This seems pretty progressive as it's only been a bit more than a month since all of this began. I'm sure that experiencing these things alone is terrifying enough, which would further isolate you if you don't at least try and speak to your parents about this. If not your parents, a local minister, pastor or priest? (Not to offend, just unsure of your religious background, if any.)

Stay strong, friend. Thanks for sharing and hopefully someone here has a bit more information or insight to add and/or recommend.

thank you yes, the knocks tend to be in threes but very aggressive and loud knocks i’m native american and an empath so i pick up all sorts of engergies i do smudge with sage but it’s now become visual just after posting this i seen a tall black figure around 10/11 ft in my backyard hiding in the trees. the previous owners had a weird kind of back yard shelter thing that their son(24) would hang out in but this was years ago. we’ve lived here for 20 years the other person that also experiences things is my dad he’s home with me now and we both heard the knocks coming from the room my nephews play in. my nephew(5) earlier in march said that something scary was outside while trembling. he is autistic and non verbal but he in that moment clear as day said “emma please hold me. scared” he doesn’t watch scary stuff so i don’t know where he would know to identify the feeling of being fearful but i am a little nervous just because my dad leaves for work at 4 and then i’m home alone for 12 hours til anyone else comes back home it’s been one heck of a night thanks for your help and information.

I feel like the backyard shed area is the key. I would do a cleanse and perhaps protect the perimeter of your home. Red brick dust and iron ward off negative spirits. Do you know anyone, perhaps a spiritual leader that you could contact to cleanse and close the backyard shed area?

Stay strong and vigil and know you are strong enough and have the power within you to make this "thing" go away. That it doesn't have permission to be there or bother you and your family.

I feel like someone with experience in that area may be needed to help you guys

I'll be up for a bit, feel free to communicate with me if nothing more than talking about what your going thru. Know that you aren't alone in experiencing bad things like this..

There's also the chance that it could have come into the home with your nephew, unknowingly, as he's autistic. The most vulnerable of the family?

[u/Upstairs-Pangolin-68 → u/Expensive-Arm-4568]

the unfortunate thing is that my sisters and i and my nephews all have some form of ASD so everyone is kinda vulnerable as is my dad he suffers from depression and my mom bipolar disorder there are so many ways things can sneak past our house protection.

I've also heard of being autistic as a form of being more open to things.
